NAVY-MIG 2 LAST

Meanwhile, the Navy has decided to place a follow-on order
for the MiG-29Ks from Russia and it could purchase an
additional 29 aircraft soon, taking the total number of the
carrier-borne fighter jets to 45.

Though the aircraft is meant for Gorskkov, Navy is keeping
its options of operating it aboard the indigenous aircraft
carrier under construction at Kochi too, if the DRDO fails to
operationalise the naval variant of the indigenous 'Tejas'
Light Combat Aircraft (LCA).
Expecting the naval LCA to be delayed beyond its scheduled
delivery in 2013, the Navy has already issued a global Request
for Information (RFI) recently for a new class of carrier-
borne fighter aircraft to aviation majors such as Boeing,
D'Assault and MiG. PTI NCB
