The MiG-29K is a carrier-based fighter developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union on the basis of the MiG-29 light frontline fighter. On July 23, 1988, the MiG-29K prototype completed its first flight. On November 1, 1989, the MiG-29K successfully landed in "Tbilisi" for the first time and was renamed "Kuznetsov". On the aircraft carrier US. Russia cancelled the development plan of the MiG-29K and retained the Su-27K, the Su-33. In 1994, India negotiated with Russia to introduce the "Kiev" class "Gorshkov" aircraft carrier plan, so that the MiG-29K program was restarted. The new MiG-29K is no longer the original 9-31, but the MiG-29K-2002 plan. This plan is internally numbered 9-41 by MiG, or the export-type MiG-29K. MiG claims that this model is two generations ahead of the 9-31 level.

The "MiG-29K" avionics equipment is based on the MlL-STD 1553B data bus. The core equipment of the airborne computer control system will all be made in Russia. It includes a central processing unit, 4 target indicating systems (radar, TV, infrared, helmet-mounted display) and a head-up display. The aircraft will also use some avionics equipment produced by French and Indian companies, and some equipment may be compatible with the Indian Air Force’s "Su-30MKI" and the upgraded "MiG-21"-93 Bis.

 

"MiG-29K" can carry all kinds of weapons and equipment, including 8 types of air-to-air missiles and 25 types of air-to-surface weapons. Although its preferred weapon is Russian equipment, it can also use Western weapons. MiG guarantees that it has accumulated a lot of experience in integrating Western weapons into Russian-made systems through the "MiG-AT" and "MiG-21"-93 projects. Therefore, the "MiG-29K" using Western weapons will There is no problem. The comprehensive weapon selection panel will allow pilots to use more than one type of weapon in the same attack. The long-range R-77 and short-range combat R-73 RDM2 air-to-air missiles have been launched together with the Kh-31A2 anti-ship missile. The next weapon test will include the subsonic Kh-35, the supersonic "Neon" missile and the Indian country's "BrahMos" anti-ship missile.
