India, Russia to ink $1.2 bn deal for 29 more MiG-29

[ice_man]

NEW DELHI: Russia and India poised to ink the around $1.2 billion contract for 29 more MiG-29K fighter jets for Indian Navy.

A Russian team will arrive in New Delhi this week to fine tune the contract after it got the approval of Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, top defence sources said.

The 29 new MiG-29Ks will be in addition to the 16 jets already contracted in the initial $1.5 billion Gorshkov package deal in January 2004. Incidentally, only $974 million had been earmarked for Gorshkov's refit at that time.

MiG-29Ks will operate from the 44,570-tonne Gorshkov as well as the 40,000-tonne indigenous aircraft carrier being built at Cochin Shipyard, which should roll out by 2014-2015.

Your being a little bit optimistic on the F-35, Navy does not want to send its planes to The US every time it need to be refitted or serviced.

The US has to be willing to part with enough Tech so that most tot the logistics can be carried out in India. Which is a major problem.

Foolish idea,the US don't share the tech of F-35 with United Kingdom and Australia,even they co -R & D the F35 together.How they "part with enough Tech so that most tot the logistics can be carried out in India"?
