Russia's Next Super Weapon: The MiG-35 Fighter Armed with Killer Lasers?

Will Russia’s new Mikoyan MiG-35 Fulcrum-F really be armed with laser weapons?

During his report to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Yury Slyusar, director of the United Aircraft Corporation—parent of RSK-MiG—told the Kremlin that the new fighter could eventually be armed with laser weapons.

“We have increased from six to eight the number of suspension points, which will make it possible to use current and future airborne weapons systems, including laser weapons,” Slyusar told Putin.
