These variants are the first ones to fully ultitise multi-role capabilities. The MiG-29K is a naval variant while the M2 is developed from it for ground airbases. The MiG-35 is the latest (and possibly the final) incarnation based on the MiG-29 airframe. It has more powerfull radar, lower RCS and it can load longer range missiles than those on MiG-29K/M2.
