No offence, but i am sure that no version of Mig29 have AESA.
I would be tankful to u, if u post a source claiming AESA for mig 29.
Thankyou
Sancho - I think the Russians didnt want the AESA to be offred with Mig 29, as that was their selling point for Mig 35, from a layman's POV the onlt difference on in IN Mig29Ks and Mig35 is the radar and the TVC.
I hope this was your question![]()
sir, i think aesa radar on mig29 is only for navys new contracted 29 planes. and i think seniors members can help
Hi Dash, of course for Russia it is a key to sell Mig 35 to us, but that's not my point. I can't understand why our MoD choose it, because even N-LCA will have AESA radar, because it is based on the MK 2version. In IAF we will have more capable fighters alongside of Mig 29SMT and LCA like MMRCA and MKI, but for the IN carriers, Mig 29K will be the main fighter till the end of the decade. If russia is not able to offer us AESA radar, why didn't we try to get Elta 2052 for them?
If the Chinese will be able to build a carrier anytime soon, our Mig 29Ks could be fielded against their new J-15s, with longer range, possibly even AESA radars and heavier weapon loads. So will it be good enough against it?

But the Russians don't have twin pylons for missiles yet (like the weapon config graphic shows too) and the twin pylons for bombs are for dumb bombs only, so not really useful. Be it the SMTs, or IN Ks, the Mig 29 is limited to 9 weapon stations only, with 3 of them possible for fuel tanks. Anyway, IAF will use them for interception mainly, so they will carry mainly missiles and will be re-fuelled in air if necessary.
Just noticed you had a query ,
