MIG-35 IS GOOD FOR GOD'S SAKE ! nobody understands that.
I know that buying the mig 29 was suicidal for India, but thats exactly what the mig-35 is learned form of.
They have fixed all the problems of the mig-29 and added a lot of bonuses.

We'll understand it better when Russia starts inducting it in large numbers in their Air Force first.
There are just too many points why Mig-35 shouldnt be chosen. political wise, performance and maintianence cost wise and also dependency wise. Gorshkov incident, more money for sukhois, holding back codes for brahmos, delays and failure of other equipment purchased besides, india reducing dependency of russia is just some of the reasons.
If you see beyond just acrobatics and consider all factors you will understand why Migs shouldnt be chosen.
Else if your supporting just because of being a die hard russian fan well then there's no point discussing.
