The air show, organised by both the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Rostec State Corporation, involved Russian helicopters such as the Mi-26, Mi-35, Ka-52 models, as well as aircraft such as the Aermacchi MB-339s, T-50 and Sukhoi Su-34. The event, taking place from July 18-23, is set to feature some 84 aircraft from eight airborne crews performing over the course of the event, in which more than 770 companies representing 30 countries will participate.
The new MiG-35, a classified 4++ generation Russian fighter jet, was showcased at the MAKS-2017 air show in Zhukovski, Moscow region, on Tuesday. The multifunctional fighter jet has enhanced maneuverability and is designed to overcome large-scale air defence systems. The jet will reportedly be taken into service in 2018, after tests are completed, with plans to export a version of the model to more than 30 different countries.
