Paralay's art

This drawing was made before I saw the MiG 1.42
It can be assumed that the aircraft with a variable sweep wing is the MiG-41

Hello folks, by the way, @paralay's drawing from 2013 got a little AI magic to come to life.

This is not just a picture, but a forecast. The principle is as follows.

MiG-9
MiG-15 - MiG-29
MiG-17- MiG-29M (MiG-33)
MiG-21 - MiG-35 (1.44 / 1.42)
MiG-23 - MiG-41

How does the MiG-21 differ from the MiG-15 / 17?
The air intake circuit has been changed, and it has a new central body. In the side or top view, the cone looks like a Tu-160 air intake.
The opening scheme of the cockpit hood changed, it was movable, began to recline, first forward, then sideways. The wing shape of the E-2 was swept, the E-4 and the serial MiG-21 received a triangular wing. And then on the same principle.
