Are there no women in any roles in the IAF? I would be very surprised.
The only posts women cannot be in the IAF is in the fighter stream (jets), any other planes/roles they can do (transport, helo, MAR, SAR etc).

Does IAF operate any dual seat Mig-29?

Of course, UBs for training exist.


Upgraded IAF UB:

(Undergoing upgrade to UPG standard hence the primer)


NO. They are just going up as "GIBs" in the IN's Mig-29 KUBs. Most likely they are IN Pilots/Air Crew on MR/ASW aircraft. They get a chance to get a "familiarisation sortie" sometimes, a kind of joy-ride. As good as the flight that Pratibha Patil got as a President in a Su-30 MKI.

These are NOT IAF, this was part of the Nat Geo show "Mission Udaan", I don't know if any of them even got to go for a ride.


+ sir, these aren't IN MIG-29K/KUBs but IAF MiG-29Bs.

Is that so? Anyway, in the IN there are familiarisation sorties that personnel get sometimes. So much so that even Docs and Cadets/Middies of non-Aviation branches get lucky.
