Will the all-new Russian single engine stealth fighter jet to be unveiled on July 20 be designated as MiG-XX or will it have a Su-XX designation continuing under the Sukhoi lineage like the Su-57?
From images appearing on social media during the run-up to the MAKS 2021 event, a new aircraft under tight covers shows the contours an airplane similar to the Su-57 in shape but smaller and with a single engine.
MiG and Sukhoi have concurrent model numbers. Current top model designation within the MiG range is the MiG-35 which matches with the Su-35, the top –of-the-line non-stealth model of the Sukhoi range. While MiG and Sukhoi have been merged under the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) banner, they continue to have independent product lines.
