India did not send a request for the supply of MiG-29K for the aircraft carrier "Vikrant"

February 12 2020

The delay in transferring the latest Wikrant aircraft carrier to the Indian Navy has nothing to do with the delivery of the MiG-29K deck aircraft by the Russian side. Moscow has not yet received a call from New Delhi for the supply of aircraft. This was reported by TASS with reference to a source in the aircraft industry.

According to news agency, Russia previously provided India with all the necessary information on a possible contract for the supply of a batch of MiG-29K carrier-based fighter aircraft for the newest Indian aircraft carrier Wickrant, but has still not received an answer. In addition, India has not even issued a tender for the supply of carrier-based fighters.

Russia expects an appeal from the Indian Ministry of Defense to supply MiG-29K carrier-based fighter jets for Vikrant. Therefore, to argue that the timing of the transfer of the Indian Navy aircraft carrier is delayed due to Russia, is not very correct

- The source said, adding that Rosoboronexport will participate in the tender from Russia.

Earlier, Indian State Minister of Defense Sripad Naik said that the transfer of the Vikrant aircraft carrier to the Indian Navy would be delayed due to a “delay in the delivery of aircraft from Russia."

According to reports from the Indian Ministry of Defense, the newest light carrier, Wickrant, is due to enter service in March 2021. According to plans, up to 14 MiG-29K / KUB aircraft and several helicopters of radar patrol will be based on it.

They took and "burned" an Indian bureaucrat. How can he explain the production delays now?

    One can say that a person has mental amnesia - he does not remember ordering or did not order aircraft. No need to laugh at the disabled person!

Yes there and so it was clear. I remind you that for example, just recently they launched their own, an Indian engine, from the catapult, and for this reason they started to squeal for a long time, they say - well done! done for our aircraft carrier! True, from this joy, sailors push and kick off their hands. but judge for yourself - what for did they have to do this if they had already concluded an agreement on MIGs?
In short, the ordinary Gita and Zita - everyone is dancing, they are sawing money in the corner, in the end - everyone will die. The first is an aircraft carrier

  And where did you find the catapult on it ???

    Oh, even on an aircraft carrier? Actually, I didn’t remember exactly - it makes no sense. this is news for one day, all the same, this fighter will not fly anywhere. But the general meaning is the same, they shove it hard on an aircraft carrier ... So, it is unlikely that the deal with the MIGs was even specifically spoken out.
    Psi - and yes. I forgot, it’s with a springboard, without a catapult) Yes, I forgot ...

Now you have to order from us unequivocally - so as not to lose face. Although the Indians are not particularly worried in this regard ......

  The fact of the matter is that no. There now he wants to push through all the US pairs F-18. From that, in my opinion, and the statement of the Minister of Defense in order to discredit Russia as a supplier.

Moscow has not yet received a call from New Delhi for the supply of aircraft.
However insolent! He should recall the situation in 2017 when the Indian Navy decided to abandon the MiG-29K / KUB carrier-based fighter, saying that he would seek a replacement during the tender, considering the joint production of the F / A-18E / F Super Hornet American fighters.
And then, we are ready to supply them with a "chilled" MiG-35. But the dancers pretend not to notice our suggestions! Or do they think that we will persuade them and damp them in a terrible way !? Well, well, wait for a sign from Vishna, maybe the thread will break off ...
AHA.

  You are confused. Who pays - he orders the music. And everyone is ready to supply them. Both Europeans and Americans. There is already a queue =)

It seemed to me that our carrier-based aviation was outdated. Wouldn't it be better for the Indians to buy old proven decked F-16/18 but with modern avionics stuffing under the hood?

  deck F-16/18
  
  The main favorite among the Indians is F / A-18 Block3. F-16 is not a carrier-based fighter.
  Boeing (offering F / A-18E / F Super Hornet Block III), Dassault (Rafale F3R), Eurofighter (Typhoon), RSK MiG (MiG-35) and Saab were also invited to participate in the competition for new multi-purpose aircraft for BVS . In the case of the Russian company from the Indian side, it was more likely that a politeness gesture was made, since she no longer considers the MiG proposal seriously after she was delivered with the B.U. airplanes instead of new ones.

    Do the Americans not offer their partners slightly used F-18 and other vehicles? Obviously, this is a reason for the refusal to purchase MiGs from the Indians. "Bribes" and "kickbacks" are not invented by us!

      Since February 2010, when the MiG-29Ks were put into operation, 40 engines were withdrawn from the Indians due to factory defects (this is 62%). Zvezda weekly notes that the Indian military spoke of the plane as "riddled with problems." At various times, the serviceability of the MiG-29K fleet ranged from 16 to 38%, and the MiG-29KUB fleet - from 21 to 47%. https://flot.com/2018/318872/
      By the way, there was an attempt by Russia to enter the Algerian market with a MiG-29СМТ aircraft in the 2006 year, but the customer, having received the first 15 aircraft, returned the fighters to the manufacturer due to the presence of substandard parts.

  Super Hornet is a good and proven aircraft, but ... Indians are still better off buying either Rafali or MiG (now they have both). Otherwise, it turns out to be a complete disagreement in carrier-based aviation - 3 (4 if they accept their Tejas) type of aircraft .. Although the Indians can’t get used to the assorted aircraft in the sun ....

I suggest VO editorial staff not to litter their "image" with news from India. You always get two articles on the same topic. Today is Indian news, and tomorrow is a rebuttal to it. And this is already systemic.

not very correct
Such "incorrectness" on the part of India, incl. in relation to Russian technology has often manifested itself in recent years. And this is facilitated by graters in Indian departmental offices, and the desire to buy cheaper, and ordinary Indian corruption, and the desire of officials to shift their responsibility to someone else's uncle. A capricious trading partner. When in the Soviet period they bought off "Indian tea", coffee and small consumer goods were much more accommodating.

Hindus, as always, stir up water to conclude a better deal. The ship is not ready, but Russia is to blame for the late deliveries of aircraft, which they did not even order!

I can’t rush it. In short, the ordinary Gita and Zita - everyone is dancing, they are sawing money in the corner, in the end - everyone will die. The first is an aircraft carrier

especially in the corner they’re sawing money and the vessel will drown
