"That same day, high-level managers from the MiG Russian Aircraft
Corporation demonstrated the multi-purpose Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29KUB
Fulcrum carrier-based fighter to Indian military experts at the Gromov
Flight Research Institute in the town of Zhukovsky, outside Moscow.

This warplane, now undergoing flight tests, was developed especially for
the Indian navy's aircraft carrier "Vikramaditya," formerly
called the "Admiral Gorshkov," which was sold to India several
years ago and is currently being upgraded at the Sevmash machine-building
plant in Severodvinsk.

In all, the Indian navy is to receive 16 carrier-based fighters, including
12 single-seat MiG-29K warplanes and four two-seat MiG-29KUB
fighter-trainers. Moreover, Russia would produce another 30
MiG-29K/MiG-29KUB aircraft if New Delhi confirms this order.

MiG is now completing two MiG-29Ks for subsequent certification tests and
has launched production of 16 other similar warplanes at its plant in
Lukhovitsy. This co-production arrangement involves several companies in
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Ryazan, as well as a number of
French, Indian and Israeli firms. "


So another day another flat-top.....
