UAC Presents its Key Programmes

The United Aircraft Corporation is taking part in the Aero India 2023 International Air Show, being held from February 13 to 17 at the Yelahanka Military Air Base.

"India is our long–standing partner, a large number of Russian equipment is operated here, issues of its maintenance and delivery of new machines are relevant. Aero India exhibition is one of the key regional platforms for discussing these issues, and an excellent opportunity to maintain contacts with our partners," said Yuri Slyusar, General Director of UAC.

For the first time abroad, UAC acts as a single company – last year, UAC merged with two leading design bureaus – Sukhoi and MiG, as well as plants in Lukhovitsy, Novosibirsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Nizhny Novgorod. The format of the corporation's interaction with partners is becoming simpler, clearer, and the UAC now operates in a "one-stop shop" mode.

One of the key priorities for the growth of UAC's presence in the Indian aviation market is the development of a unified after-sales service system for Russian aviation equipment, which constitutes a serious potential of the Indian Air Force. This is an urgent need of our Indian colleagues and a necessary element of the development of strategic cooperation between the two countries.

UAC will demonstrate its well-known products at united Russian exposition, organised by Rosoboronexport, including the MiG-35 multifunctional frontline fighter. The MiG‑35 aircraft is a cutting edge aircraft and a top element in MiG aircraft family. This is a 4th++ generation fighter designed with a widespread use of 5th generation technologies. The MiG‑35 is designed to engage various air targets, moving and fixed ground (surface) targets with the use of guided and unguided armament complex in favorable and adverse weather conditions, day and night. In a two-seat configuration it can be operated both in combat and training modes. The aircraft is a further development of the MiG‑29M/M2.

The MiG-35 features versatility, wide range of weaponry, operation in any climatic conditions, capability of conducting close air combat in heavy countermeasures environment, decreased cost of operation, operation "oncondition" basis.
