RAC MiG chief executive officer Ilya Tarasenko gave a rare interview to Moscow newspaper Kommersant in which he described a good financial year in 2016, but said that the company needs new orders for the MiG-29/35 series. However, he did not acknowledge a recent order for approximately 50 MiG-29M2s from Egypt, one of which was seen flying from the company’s main factory and airfield at Lukhovitsky airfield two months ago.

Tarasenko confirmed that the company completed deliveries of MiG-29K/KUB carrier-borne fighters under both Russian (24 aircraft) and Indian (45 aircraft) contracts, and has no more orders for the navalized Fulcrum. He also confirmed completion of MiG-29SMT multirole fighter deliveries to the Russian air force (under the 2014 contract for 14 SMTs and two UBT twin-seat operational trainers). The deliveries allowed MiG to declare a healthy profit in 2016, compared to losses or barely break-even results in previous years.
