Commander KHV Singh of the Indian Navy MiG-29K/KUB squadron, INAS 303 (Black Panthers) takes us around the aircraft. Commander KHV also mentions about the stealth features which has reduced the fighter's Radar Cross Section
Indian Navies armament control system is the Zhuk-M2E onboard radar, equipped with a slotted antenna array, designed and built by the Phazotron-NIIR corporation, and also the OLS-UEM infra-red search and track system, with thermal-imaging, television and laser observation channels, developed by the Moscow Precision Instrument Building Research Corporation (NPK SPP). Similar IRST and onboard radar systems are already in use in the carrier-based version of the MiG-29 fighter. The information management field in the cockpit is built on the basis of multifunctional full-colour liquid crystal displays.
Onboard radar equipment includes an inertial/satellite navigation system made by the French company Sagem, a French-made Thales helmet-mounted targeting system, an Israeli electronic countermeasures device and an Indian electronic support measures device (similar systems are used in the MiG-29K/KUB aircraft).
The additional weapons on the modernised aircraft, as on the MiG-29K/KUB and 29SMT, will be RVV-AE medium-range air-to-air guided missiles with active radar seeker heads, and also precision-guided weapons for use against land and sea targets X-31A anti-ship missiles equipped with active radar seeker heads, X-29T general purpose missiles equipped with tele-visual homing heads, X-31P anti-radiation missiles with passive radar homing heads, and also KAB-500Kr TV-guided glide bombs.
