Amazing Amazing Mikoyan Corporation.
The company specializes in the production of military aircraft. The Russian government has issued licenses to RSC MiG for the development, production and technical support of civil and military aviation equipment.
In 2006, Mikoyan became a division of the United Aircraft Corporation in a merger with Ilyushin, Irkut, Sukhoi, Tupolev, and Yakovlev by decree of the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mikoyan was established on 8 December 1939 as the Pilot Design Department of the Aviation Plant #1 and headed by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich. It was later renamed "Experimental Design Bureau named after A.I. Mikoyan" otherwise known as the Mikoyan Design Bureau or Mikoyan OKB. In 1964 Gurevich retired, and Mikoyan died in 1970. He was succeeded by Rostislav A. Belyakov, and in 1978 the enterprise was named after Mikoyan.
In 1995, Mikoyan OKB was merged with two production facilities to form the Moscow Aviation Production Association "MiG" (MAPO-MiG). In the 1990s MiG began developing Mikoyan Project 1.44, a fifth-generation jet fighter, but the project was hampered by a lack of funding and was eventually canceled.

In the 1990s MiG began developing Mikoyan Project 1.44, a fifth-generation jet fighter, but the project was hampered by a lack of funding and was eventually canceled. In December 1999, Nikolai Nikitin was appointed the corporation's General Director and General Designer. Nikitin focused most of the company's resources on the development of the Tu-334 passenger aircraft at the expense of military programs.[5] This prompted the resignation in December 1999 of many of its leading military aircraft designers, including the chief designers and their deputies for the MiG-29 and MiG-31 programs

Despite the high expectations, there is skepticism about Russia's capability to produce such an advanced fighter, given the challenges they faced with fifth-generation technology.
-The MiG-41 is said to achieve speeds over Mach 4, operate at near-space altitudes, and potentially include an unmanned version. It's also expected to be equipped with the new Saturn AL-51 engine, which promises significant improvements over its predecessors. As global military powers race to develop sixth-generation fighters, Russia's progress with the MiG-41 will be closely watched.
