MAKS 17

The Russia Today news station (Sky 512) is showing snippets throughout the day on this Farnborough type airshow. Yesterday was a preview and showed the Knights practising in their SU30s. Today a different presenter who seemed more knowledgeable explained this show is mainly about selling. Various military jets and civilian airliners were shown, but also the latest version of the Mil8 Hip in a medical role with 12 stretchers set up and De fib machines placed around the sides. "It is also available as a VIP transport". We were then shown the MiG35. "This is one aircraft that is not for sale, at least not yet. It is here for demonstration purposes only". I noticed four hard points under each wing.
