What is the aircraft at 2:39?
Seems an older aircraft to me?

That is an old MiG-29K test bird. It was used for static tests on the carriers during recent trials. It is not owned by the RuNavy- and even if it was, it is a pre-serial test bird, useless for operational use.

Thanks for clearing that up, i always asked myself what kind of mig-29 that was.

MIG 29K is a beast a very potent addition to the Indian Naval aviation

22 January 2016 RIA NOVOSTI

As MiG is a long-term partner supplying specialized aircraft for the Indian armed forces, the Russian Aircraft Corporation is prepared to supply carrier-based fighter jets for India’s next aircraft carrier, the INS ‘Vishal.







The MiG Russian Aircraft Corporation is ready to supply the required number of MiG-29K/KUB carrier-based fighter jets for India's planned new aircraft carrier, INS ‘Vishal’, if the Indian Ministry of Defence should want, said Anastasia Kravchenko, speaking for the company to RIA Novosti on Thursday.

A day earlier, the Indian media had reported that Delhi had asked four countries for proposals on supplying fighter jets for the ‘Vishal’, which will carry more than 50 aircraft.

"MiG and India's Ministry of Defence are long-term partners. We are linked by many years of successful cooperation. We would certainly be ready to supply fighter jets for the new aircraft carrier," said Kravchenko.

She said that, according to experts, it would be best both strategically and economically, for the Indian Navy not to diversify its fleet of carrier-based aircraft.

At present, MiG-29K/KUB jets are operating from another Indian aircraft carrier, the INS ‘Vikramaditya’ (formerly the ‘Admiral Gorshkov’).

Russia is currently completing a contract (signed in 2010) to supply 29 carrier-based fighter aircraft to the Indian Navy. So far, 23 have already been delivered to the navy.

The carrier-based MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB jets are generation "4++" multirole aircraft, designed for fleet air operations, achieving air supremacy and hitting surface targets on water and land with precision-guided weapons, by day or night, in any weather conditions.

The aircraft have an improved airframe with a high composite material content, quadruple-redundant fly-by-wire flight controls, significantly reduced visibility in the radar spectrum, an increased fuel capacity and combat load, and open avionics architecture.

The first flight of the prototype MiG-29KUB took place in January 2007. In 2009, MiG-29K/KUB jets successfully performed a series of test flights from the deck of the ‘Admiral Kuznetsov’, a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser. The maiden flight of the MiG-29KUB production series aircraft, built under a government defence order, took place in October 2013.

MIG 29K is going to be mainstay of indian navy for long time to come and all the medial sponsored news abt Rafale-N, US naval planes is turning out to be farce

http://www.janes.com/article/62063/indian-navy-reports-problems-with-russian-carrier-aircraft

There are still a number of problems with India's Russian-built Mikoyan MiG-29K/KUB aircraft, as well as with the aircraft carrier formerly known as Admiral Gorshkov that entered Indian Navy service in 2013, sources in India have told IHS Jane's .

The complaints about the MiG-29K/KUB aircraft are generally due to the inability of the Russian firm RSK-MiG to deliver a complete aircraft that incorporates all of the features promised in the contractual documents signed by both parties.

Indian experts who have visited the test base at Goa, where flight training with the aircraft is conducted, report that the MiG-29Ks are being delivered to India in a substandard configuration. The aircraft, said one specialist who visited the Goa base recently, "are literally being upgraded and brought up to spec while on the flightline".

The chief culprit in this dilemma, say both Indian and Russian specialists, are the combined embargoes enacted by the Ukrainian government that bar the export of any military-use items to Russia, along with the EU and US sanctions that prohibit the export of Western military components to Moscow. The 'workaround' has been for India to import these items directly, then have them integrated onto the aircraft on-site at the Goa base.

The MiG-29K for India differs from the MiG-29KR aircraft being built for the Russian Navy (VMF) in that the Indian-produced and foreign-made components are deleted in the configuration of the latter aircraft and replaced by Russian-made systems.

The Russian-supplied carrier, which has been renamed INS Vikramaditya , is a re-built and modified Kiev-class cruiser that has been converted into a fully capable short take-off but arrested recovery (STOBAR) aircraft carrier by Russia's Sevmash shipyards.

Another Indian BS. I would like to know, what Ukrainian parts are in MiG-29K/KUB or western parts. MiG-29K were well tested and all planes were tested before delivery to India and they are delivered complete, so it would be interesting to know, what parts are missing and have to be installed after delivery. I have a feeling, that India again went full retard and replacing original Russian parts with foreign and than it doesn't work as originally works and than they complain how bad Russian equipment is.

This remind me of Indian Arjun tank. They take German Leopard 2 tank, place Israeli FCS in it and got a shit of tank. If Arjun is a junk, it doesn't mean that Leopard 2 is a bad tank.

This is a slightly less sensationalist version than I'd read elsewhere but the important bit is the last.

Knowing that Banderastan was refusing to supply parts this would have been communicated to India, India obviously negotiated direct with Banderastan got agreement for the relevant parts to be supplied to India -> Russia & India agreed to send incompletely fitted out airframes to India for final integration there (probably with a price discount).

No biggie since final spec is the same & Indian govt is probably happy enough to get more work done domestically
Its pretty much the standard model for building airliners last few decades: bits made in different countries put together at a final integration facility.

Anyone knows how they fared against rafales-M during the recent exercice varuda btw the two carriers ?

India should stop using its air force. Tey make more damage to their country with their own jets than any invasion force.

As usual they blame Russia as that they say their equipment is shit.

I pointed out that Russia nor anyone else has nearly the same issues India does with their jets, particularly of Russian origin.

Some even mentioned that the MiG's are not actually well taken care of in India and in poor maintenance and shelter. So that may have a lot to do with it.

Shoddy maintenance is a major issue in India. They are quick to blame others of course.

I don't remember indian air force critisizing its jets.

All the critics are made by dickheads in some stupid online news calling themselves journalists or experts.

Indian air force just ordered some more mig-29s with a bunch of air to air missiles. They even said it faced nicely rafales in the last exercice with french carrier and did their job against them protecting their fleet against attacking rafales.

Those same critics of course.

They are quick to jump on the Russia hate bandwagon. But if a US jet crashes, they are quiet.

It's like the time they refused Russia SHORAD and bought the Spyder Sam, only for it's complete shit IFF system to shoot down their own helicopter. Don't worry they'll create an even shittier SHORAD of 'domestic' (using foreign parts ) origin

What a absolute unstable abomination lmao!!! The biggest threat to it isn't PGM's, its rocks and pot holes lol! Remember guys they'll completely ignore Pantsir, but went through with developing this.

That's exactly what I though when i saw the picture

How is it going to follow t-90 ? Maybe it can protect their unexisting Arjun in their media wars against Pakistan

That's a good point. The Indian armed forces are incompetent but they are still purchasing Russian military H/W. Recently placed orders for 20 more Mig 29s and 20 more Su 30MKI.

So the ones criticizing Russian H/W are the usual fake news peddlers. And that's the problem with these third world street shitter states like India. Almost every one is corrupt. Corruption comes naturally to these Hindu masses today, because their daily life is a fight for the small loaves that come their way. West realizes this and has infiltrated every aspect of their existence. Even FBI, CIA, MI5, Canadian Intel has set up permanent offices in that country. https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/legal-attache-offices/asia/new-delhi-india


Hardly any of these Hindus have put in even an iota of hard work in academics or later on in life.The only enterprise in life these low life indians would have ever engaged in would be to set up convenience stores in the west and while at home take millions in bribe money from US, UK and destroy their own country. For a few $$ these Indians are more than willing to kill one another. The hindu mercantile communities are the most sinister ones.

In order to make up for losses that Russia suffers in India, Russia should immediately start selling high tech weapons to Pakistan, Saudis and other Gulf states apart from increasing arms export to China.

Dude, its in Russia too. So many people post fake bullshit. Saw some bitch claiming that her friend spent time in a US prison and was able to buy apartments in Russia and what not while in Prison in US. Trying to make it sound like being in a US prison they pay you a huge wage or something.

There are so many fucking retards in Russia its unbelieveable. They are all liberals or communists too.

In Russia, people posting fake news are getting arrested day in, day out. Including mainstream politicians like Navalny. India. Africa are lawless states. Sadist people like hindus are pliable. West realizes that. It's a country filled with western agents and their colored backers. Corruption is an epidemic. For a few dollars more these indians are willing to slit each others throat.

Being an European country, I realize it's difficult for Russia to understand such a below-average, slothful, incompetent race. But Russia will have to be extremely careful while dealing with these failed states.
