India has decided to suspend the use of Russian MiG-29K / KUB fighters due to their frequent breakdowns. As reported by Telegram- channel Baza, representatives of the Indian Air Force asked to understand the oddities of the engines.

According to the newspaper, problems arose with the RD-33MK engines. It is noted that the main difficulties are associated with fuel manifolds. In particular, over the past few years, they have failed 15 times. In the course of the examination it turned out that they are easily destroyed during operation. In addition, problems began with oil consumption and pipeline destruction.

The Indians complained that over the past 10 years they have repeatedly asked to eliminate such malfunctions, but the Russians have not done anything. Now India has delivered an ultimatum: in the near future, Moscow must hand over a new batch of fighters to Delhi, but they will only be accepted if Russia sorts out the old list of problems.
