Brent Eastwood, a columnist for the American edition of 19FortyFive, spoke about his vision of the development situation
According to Eastwood, the development of this aircraft is "far from reality." He noted that the claimed characteristics are similar to science fiction.
It is noted that the MiG-41 will have to receivea ramjet engine capable of speeds up to Mach 4, which will allow the fighter to destroy hypersonic missiles and satellites. But such an engine will heat the body of the aircraft, which will reduce the effectiveness of the coating that provides stealth. In addition, the enemy will be able to detect such an aircraft using infrared surveillance devices.
In addition, to create such an aircraftadditional funds will be required. “This means moving from conceptual design planning stages to drawings and prototypes is not possible without additional time, money and resources. Thus, the MiG-41 is far from reality, ”said Eastwood.
