Mig MFI - Phazotron N-014 Passive Phassed Array Radar has a range of 400+ km against 6m^2 targets, 250km gainst 1m^2 targets (such as Eurofighter and Rafale) and about 140km against 0.1m^2 targets. It is able to track up to 40 targets and engage 12 at once.

Can you provide us with a source on this?

here is where i saw it first:
Russian Federadion Forces Forum, toward the end of that thread

source A:
Mig MFI radar - "forward-facing radar N-014 phased array with electronically-scanned antenna - simultaneous tracking of 40 and engagement of up to 20 targets; effective range against a fighter-sized target: 420km, extended AS capability, ground mapping capability"

source B:
It (Mig MFI with forward facing N014 and rear facing N012 radar) features a 360-degree capability of detecting and destroying virtually all targets.

PS: for more info/sources just google for "Phazotron N-014"

Well, to start out, I was probably wrong about the Pak-fa being based on the Mig, because Sukhoi is the designer.



In early 2002 Sukhoi was chosen as prime contractor for the planned Russian fifth-generation fighter is called the PAK FA




According to Mig, the 1.42 would be able to out perform the F/A-22.

Some stuff on the 1.42 from Global security:



Like the American F-22, the MFI has a thrust vectoring system that allows it to make sharp turns. It also has similar stealth capabilities, with the canard, wing and fuselage structures incorporating carbon-fiber and polymer composite materials. Other stealth features include radar-absorbing covering, screening of radar-visible structure elements, and reduced heat signature. The fifth-generation pulse-doppler radar has a phased-array andtenna with electronic scanning to simultaneously attack over 20 targets. The aircraft can carry long-range air-to-air and air-to-surface guided missiles, and it is armed with a 30-mm cannon.


GlobalSecurity.com

After reading up on it, the Mig 1.42 seems to be the better of the two. It was designed around stealth, where as the Berkut was made "stealthy" but did not have that as it's main objective. Thus, the Mig would hold the advantage in BVR combat, while the Berkut would hold the dogfighting advantage. Assuming this to be true, the Mig is the better aircraft, because it will have teh first opertunity for a kill.

now, do you believe that MIG MFI took off


Thank you to correct me, I'm sorry. That was a reason, why I wrote "I think". I have read that it didn't took off, but I found some video Mig39firstflight, although I was not able to download or view it. So I wasn't sure. Sorry again.
