5th generation fighter developed by RSK MiG

The French magazine Air&Cosmos has published this 5th generation fighter concept created by RSK MiG. Some specifications have also been provided. Maximum speed in M1.8-2.0 (+2.2 in MiG-35). The typical weight at take off is 15 tons, reaching a maximum of 25. For the MiG-35 these values are 19.7 and 29.7. Maximum range is 4,000 kms.

As the graphic shows, the aircraft uses 2 engines. These would be VK-10Ms, with 10 tons thrust, similar to RD-33MK. It is the first time I read this designation. An alternative version with one engine has been developed. It would be equipped with "izdeliye 30", proposed for PAK FA.

Canards can be seen in the fuselage. These have been dropped in other 5th generation designs as they increase the RCS. The cockpit is rather different to the one shown a few weeks ago.
