Unlike the Su-30MKI, which has 2D ( pitch control) only thrust vectoring, the MiG-29 OVT has 3D vectoring, it can vector the nozzles at any angle in the X-Z plane, by up to 15º off the axis. This variant has not yet reached production.

Su-30MKI has Yaw Control of the nozzles as well.

 

[gadeshi]

Su-30MKI has Yaw Control of the nozzles as well.

Yes, but MiG-29OVT testbed has RD-33MK with 360 deg all-aspect controllable KLIVT nozzles.

 

[armyofhind]

Yes, but MiG-29OVT testbed has RD-33MK with 360 deg all-aspect controllable KLIVT nozzles.

I know... saw its demonstration at RIAT..
But OVT is just a technology demonstrator.. I don't think the all aspect nozzles will go forth to production versions..
their utility in air combat is debatable.

Their utility is OK, but complexity, serviceability, cost and reliability are under questions.

And now ADA will work with a Russian agency for this all-axis or multi-axis TVC, for the AMCA which unlike the Su-30MKI will have lesser control surfaces and will carry a lot of stuff internally, will make a much better use of the TVC.

@gadeshi What is the difference between Mig 35 and Mig 29M2?

 

[gadeshi]

MiG-29M/M2 is almost the same as "shorealized" MiG-29K/KUB with Zhuk-M/ME mechanical scanning radar.
MiG-35 introduces more composites, 10 tons engines (preliminary), Zhuk-MA/MAE GaN AESA radar, new defence suit based on Vitebsk-29M and (also preliminary) enhanced OLS-UEM IRST.
