Specialists from the A.I. Mikoyan Design Bureau, after a possible merger of design teams, may be involved in working on existing and prospective Sukhoi projects. This was stated to "Pervy Tekhnichesky" by Nikolai Chikunov, a first-category design engineer at the Design Bureau.

According to him, such areas could include the refinement of the Su-57 and work on the Su-75 project.

At the same time, Chikunov believes that in such a case, MiG's own prospective projects might receive fewer resources. Already, some specialists are engaged in initiative developments without full funding and paid working hours.

The engineer added that if a unified design team is created, MiG divisions may formally retain their names, but key decisions will be made at a general level.
