The Indian Navy MiG 29K does not want a fraction?
In 2004, the Russian Navy carried out a "zero-dollar aircraft carrier purchase" activity. The Indian Navy considered it a "conscientious activity" and actively participated. Since there were no competitors, this zero-dollar aircraft carrier was eventually taken by the Indian Navy. However, the aircraft carrier is just an empty shell, and a series of supporting facilities are required to exert combat effectiveness. Therefore, in the following time, the Indian Navy paid 3 billion yuan for this "zero yuan" unit price of the USS Vikramatia aircraft carrier. US dollars, including the introduction of 45 MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft.
Compared with the early MiG 29, the performance of MiG 29K is much improved
For a medium-sized aircraft carrier, 45 carrier-based aircraft is a very strange number. The number of fully-loaded carrier-based aircraft on the USS Vikramatia of the Indian Navy is 24, and the remaining 21 MiG29K can only Deployed in land-based airport training and used as a rotation aircraft. Equipping an aircraft carrier that can only carry 24 carrier-based aircraft with 45 carrier-based aircraft is a "big deal"! However, India's move is not all to enhance the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier, perhaps there is also a factor, that is, worry about not falling enough!
The MiG 29K has a maximum takeoff weight of up to 24 tons
The Indian Navy does not seem to like odds. In November last year, a MiG 29K crashed during training and another crashed in February this year. The Indian Navy said that the two crashes were caused by bird collisions. Three months later, another MiG 29K crashed, but it was not over yet. On November 26, the Indian Navy crashed another MiG 29K. It has already crashed 4 in more than a year. If you add the 2011 number For a crashed MiG 29K, the Indian Navy has wiped out all the fragments of the 45 MiG 29K fleet, which is another "big deal"!

The MiG 29K is the worst carrier-based aircraft in service
The MiG29K is not an excellent carrier-based aircraft today. The Russian Navy replaced the Su 33 with the MiG 29K. It is not how good the performance of the MiG 29K is, but the dozens of Su 33s equipped with it are old and do not have a production line to supplement the new models. At this time, they got Vikrama. The Indian Navy of the Tiya aircraft carrier took a fancy to the MiG 29K. The Russian Navy took this opportunity to use the funds provided by the Indian Navy to launch this new version of the MiG 29K. This carrier-based aircraft is the main force for the Indian Navy, but For the Russian Navy, it is a transitional model for a period of time.
The MiG 29K is the most mediocre in the world's active carrier aircraft
At present, the world’s carrier-based aircraft include Rafale M, F/A-18, F35C, F-15, MiG 29K, and the few remaining Su 33s of the Russian Navy. Among these carrier-based aircraft, F35C is a fourth-generation stealth aircraft. , Rafale M and F/A-18 due to the use of the catapult system, the bomb load and the maximum take-off weight on the aircraft carrier exceed the MiG-29K, only the F-15 and MiG29K use the skid-leap takeoff method. The F-15 is a heavy aircraft. Although the upgraded MiG 29K has a maximum take-off weight of 24 tons, it is still a bit worse than the F-15, and its ammunition capacity is less than the F-15. In addition, the F-15’s weapon avionics The system is much higher than the MiG 29K, so in the current carrier aircraft, the MiG 29K is considered the worst one.
The ammunition capacity and combat radius of the F-15 far exceed the MiG 29K
Indian Navy MiG 29K is difficult to achieve supplement
For the Russian Navy, the MiG 29K was exchanged for 3 billion U.S. dollars for an aircraft carrier that was not sent or scrap iron. A large part of this fund was used to upgrade and produce MiG 29K for the Indian Navy and its own equipment. , Simply put, it means that you have bought dozens of carrier-based aircraft for yourself with a scrap iron aircraft carrier. If there was no such thing as the introduction of the MiG 29K by the Indian Navy, the Russian navy would not have the idea of the MiG 29K even if the Su 33 was used for repairs. After all, considering the status of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, it is not worth it alone. Spend a lot of money to open the MiG 29K production line.
The Indian Navy intends to equip domestic aircraft carriers with carrier-based brilliance
The Indian Navy introduced 45 MiG29Ks. Although the number of crashes was a bit high, there was no need to replenish them in a short period of time. After all, the Vikramatia carried 24 at most. The MiG 29K is the same for the Russian Navy. In the case of difficulty in obtaining other export space, the production line of the MiG 29K will not last long. This led to waiting for the Indian Navy’s MiG 29K fleet to fall insufficiently to fill the deck of the Vikramatia. If you want to supplement the new aircraft, you will either use your own worse LCA carrier type or spend a lot of money. Restart the production line of MiG 29K.
