The Lyrics

The oft-delayed MiG successor to the MiG-29 Fulcrum family was intended from the onset as a rival to the USAF ATF which led to the F-22 Raptor. As such, it was a new design- a canard-delta with powerful Lyul'ka AF41 engines with thrust of nearly 40,000 lbs each, thrust vectoring, advanced avionics, stealth (RAM and RAS), high performance of Mach 2.6, ceiling of 71,000 ft, range of 2500 miles, and carrying a GSh-301 cannon with 250 rds and a range of ATA and ATG missiles (AA-11 Archer, AA-12 Adder, and various ATG missiles as well as PGMs and dumb free-fall bombs). A promising design that was actually over-modified, the MiG MFI (aka MiG 1.44, NATO codename Flatpack) suffered constant delays in funding as Sukhoi's Su-27 Flanker pulled ahead in technology, performance, cost efficiency, and political favor of the now FSU after the collape of the USSR. Sukhoi had the funds to produce the variants of the Flaker family (Su-27, Su-32/34, Su-35, and test aircraft Su-47 Berkut). MiG, meanwhile, lost a decade of development and finally flew the MiG MFI in 2000. One more short flight and then all information on the aircraft came to a standstill. It was to become the MiG-39 (and not the MiG-35 as reported) IF it ever entered production... but it didn't. Some say it is cancelled and yet no official Russian word on what happened to it. Rumors of a new MiG-41 (aka I-2000) 6th Gen stealth fighter have been steady, but that aircraft if built won't fly until the 2020s at best. Sukhoi rules for fighters and Tupolev is struggling with Russian bomber tech.
MiG MFI is through
waste of time

Canard-delta was something new
MiG was tryin’
But delayed flyin’

Designed to kill Raptor bandit
No funding was found
Stealth bird could’ve been deadly
Total lack of progress shut it down

MiG MFI is through
waste of time
Past prime

Sukhoi rules
Sukhoi rules
Sukhoi rules
Flanker family pride
Hard to compare
For lack of funding
Question? Has MiG died???

Rumors sketchy
MiG MFI is through
waste of time
(MiG 6th Gen by end of ‘20s)
