I usually like warisboring, but they've gone off the deep end lately on Russia. If they weren't so busy hyperventilating, they'd notice the obvious fact that this is a Mig-29/35 training mission. The Mig-35 evolution on the '29 is being rolled out, and the Miyokan design bureau is in something of a bind, as they haven't have been as successful as Sukhoi. So, this is an opportunity for Miyokan to show off some of its unique capabilities. These gizmos can be (have been) sold to China and India for their own aircraft carrier ambitions.
