Several countries have already notified Russia they would like to purchase its newest fighter jet MiG-35, the director of the federal service for military-technical cooperation, Dmitry Shugayev, told the media at the 14th international aerospace show MAKS near Moscow.

"There’ve been several requests already. Rosoboronexport and the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) are working on this," Shugayev said.

He recalled that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday "paused in front of a life-size sample of the MiG-35 plane and asked several questions, quite professional ones, concerning the plane’s weapons and certain flight parameters."

Shugayev said that the export of MiG-35 was also crucial to Russia’s participation in the tender for the supply of 110 medium fighters for the Indian Air Force.
