BANGALORE: Russian Aircraft Corporation-MiG on Wednesday unveiled its newest MiG-35 fighter jet to the world at the Aero India show here with an eye on New Delhi's plans to purchase 126 multi-role combat aircraft.
The jet made awe-inspiring manoeuvres in the skies over Bangalore soon after the inauguration of the sixth edition of Aero India, South Asia's biggest aerospace show that has attracted major civil and defence aircraft makers.
The test prototype of MiG-35 was on display at MAKKS Airshow in Russia in 2005 and at Faranborough in Britain in 2006. The MiG-35 is considered Russia's serious answer to its Western competitors.
Russia is in the race to sell India 126 jets, pitting itself against the F-16 and F-18 of the US, Sweden's Gripen, Eurofighter and France's Rafael.
The MiG-35, the company said, is available in single-seat and double-seat versions. At the heart of the MiG family is the MiG-29K/KUB fighter that is being produced for the Indian Navy.

Kuala Lumpur: Russia's state-controlled MiG aircraft manufacturer will publicly unveil the final production model of its new MiG-35 fighter at an air show in India next month, the company said Wednesday.
The full technical specifications of the MiG-35 will be shown at the Yelahanka air base in Bangalore, India, on Feb. 6, a day before the opening of the Aero India exhibition, Vladimir Barkovsky, director of MiG Corp.'s Mikoyan Design Bureau, said in a statement.
Only the test prototype of the MiG-35 has been shown to the public so far at the MAKS Airshow Russia in 2005 and at Farnborough, Britain, last year, according to the statement issued by MiG through the Kuala Lumpur-based Asian Defense & Diplomacy magazine.
The aircraft is based on Russia's existing MiG-29M fighter, but is widely expected to have significant improvements in maneuverability, flight range and weapons systems.
