MiG starts carrier fighters for Indian Navy

August 16-31, 2011

Russia’s MiG Aircraft Corporation has launched production of a new batch of MiG-29K/KUB carrier fighters for the Indian Navy. The fighters are expected to be inducted in 2012.

Under the $1.5-billion contract, Russia will supply 29 MiG-29K Fulcrum-D jets. The first jet was presented to an Indian representative in the assembly workshop. The fighters will be based at an air field in Goa until the Admiral Gorshkov joins the Navy under the name of INS Vikramaditya in early 2013. The Vikramaditya is expected to carry up to 24 MiG-29K/KUB fighters.
