If my info is not wrong IAF planes to upgrade them first then get more, I would go for these puppies instead of SU-30s, They are more rugged and can take a lot of punishment, While SU-30 is not rugged at all you have to take care of them like babies. This just tells us technology doesn't make our lives easier it makes it more complicated.
This MiG 29K is a completely different one. Its an evolution of the MiG 29M/M2 which initself is very different from the original MiG 29's. The difference not in terms of the subsystems but interms of the physical structure as well...from using composites to having different airframe size. Almost everything inside and a lot of things outside have been changed.
MiG 29K is also the version on which the MiG 35 is built.
The MiG 29K has also been customized by IAF like the Su-30MKI using a lot of third party equipment including Indian.
