Also known as MFI (mnogofunktsionalnyy istrebityel - multi-purpose fighter), the MiG-1-42 is similar to the F-22 in many ways. Just as "stealth" technology has been incorporated in the design of the F-22 from the start, so has it been in the MiG-1-42, although not to as great an extent. Similarly, the MiG-1-42 has thrust-vectoring engine nozzles and uses internal weapon stowage. Also, while it has a ground attack capability, it is primarily an air superiority fighter. All of these features combine to make it a worthy adversary for the F-22.%n
