Indian News Agency IANSreferenced by RIA News, reports that the Indian Ministry of Defense has translated into reality the decision to abandon British aircraft Sea Harrier in favor of Russian-made deck fighters. We are talking about aircraft MiG-29K.

The ceremony of replacing British aircraft with Russian MiG-29Ks on the Indian aircraft carrier Wickrant took place today in the presence of the Indian Navy command. In particular, in the commissioning of the Russian aviation The chief of staff of the Indian Navy, Admiral Rabinder Kumar Giovan, took part in the technology.

Large Indian media in connection with the replacement of British aircraft by Russian came out with the following headlines:

Indian sailors told the British decked fighter: "Goodbye!"

Deck Fighters Bombers Sea Harrier Indian fleet has exploited over 30 years.

Comments

[avt]

The Indian Navy has operated Marine Harrier carrier-based bomber fighters for over 30 years.

They refused what worked out their resources, and MiGs ordered for a long time. Well, what's the joy? They would have written that there would be no deck rafals.

Hindus are very cunning buyers. They conduct preliminary negotiations with several suppliers at once, and then begin to blackmail and bring down the price. Drop the price - otherwise we'll buy a MiG, drop the price - otherwise we'll buy a Rafali

[jjj]

Here I would like to draw your attention to the following aspect. "Sea Harrier" is a vertical take-off and landing vehicle. It does not require a large deck GDP. And from such a short deck of conventional aircraft, as we see, only the MiG can take off and land on it. That, in general, was shown by the operating experience of the Vikramaditya, where the GDP was rebuilt in the existing dimensions of the ship from the take-off deck for vertical aircraft. The news should be considered as confirmation of the exceptional characteristics of Russian aircraft.

Wow, how can this Sea Harrier be compared with the 29K instant?! By fashionable paint ?!

[Arktidianets]

Also a comparison to me, where is the Mig-29K and where is Harrier? Aircraft of completely different classes. Of course the choice is in favor of Miga.

We stood at the IL28 airfield for a long time until they were sawed. SU 24 is still giving the barmaleam heat. The mattresses wrote in a manual that the F16 would not enter the battle with MIG29 whenever possible. The Indians decided everything correctly.

Indians make almost all military equipment and weapons at home, both their own and under licenses, but the trouble is, all the equipment seems to be traveling, flying and shooting, but it’s kind of curved and not far --- what’s the problem, in crooked hands or in karma nobody understands. That's why they buy original products .....

Mikoyan’s design bureau will come in handy. It’s no secret that this design bureau has difficulties with the implementation of its machines and the development of new ones. The MIG-35 hasn’t been brought to mind so far, and generation 5 LFIs are only in the drawings.

So ... so far, only the Navy is taking new MiGs from us. And VKS more like different Dryers (well, they upgrade the MiG-31). Somehow light fighters didn’t take root in us.

Why? Prior to this, the 29th was bought by hundreds, and I think the new LFI will be willing to buy our MO. There would be a solid machine, and the order for it, I have no doubt, will not keep itself waiting.

Because we are moving to the 5th generation, which does not imply the presence of any LFI, because with the development of technology this has become stupidly not necessary. The tactics of a fighter pair (light / heavy) are a thing of the past.
Therefore, the flashes are mainly sold over the hill. Sukhoi was ahead of the moment in the development of the 5th generation aircraft. The country does not need two "5" planes from different design bureaus, and it is expensive. That's a moment and works for the Indians .. yet. And there we will look further. We can make a good attack drone for the native army

[voyaka uh]

Harriers are out of date, that’s clear.
The question is what kind of aircraft carriers the Indians will have.
With the MiG springboard, they’ll be able to climb with an incomplete load of bombs,
and their radius is small. What they can do perfectly is
Defend your aircraft carrier and other squadron ships from enemy aircraft.
Better than Harriers. Because of this, they were probably chosen.

[Dart2027]

So fighters are needed for this.

[Number 17]

Sell ​​is one thing. It’s still necessary to deliver. Then consider this military aircraft, which requires appropriate maintenance and training. Therefore, having sold a batch of fighters, we are adding to this the departure of specialists from the factory for servicing equipment, and this is also a separate income item.

Harriers cannot be replaced by British fighters. There are no more British fighters. "No" from the word "absolutely".

Indian Navy abandoned British carrier-based Sea Harrier fighter-bombers in favor of Russian MiG-29K

I would like to understand how the Mig-29K, which is almost 3 meters longer than the Sea Harrier and almost one and a half meters higher, will be placed in Vikrant's hangars. It seems that the one who wrote the article does not see the difference between the German aircraft carrier Hermes, who has developed his resource and who is called Vikram in the Indian Navy, and the Vikramaditya (the former aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov) who is getting ready to replace him.

[Zaurbek]

Harrier is the most successful of the non-traditional fighters. It was relatively inexpensive and reliable, could carry all the modern weapons at that time. The main advantage is a good and reliable engine.

[Revolver]

For all their unconventionality, they famously kicked asses for the Argentos in the Falkland War. Despite the fact that the Argentines flew on traditional, and far from the worst (although at that time already oldish) American and Israeli fighters.

[Zaurbek]

True, they acted mainly against the attack aircraft of Argentina - "Skyhawks" and "Super Ethanders". and the Harriers were in the fighter version. But all the same, they kicked!

[Verdun]

But still, they kicked!

The Argentine aircraft in the Falkland War acted at the limit of their range and there was no time left for fighting them. Judging Harier’s high qualities from this episode is quite problematic.

[Evil 55]

Well done .. Changed the British hundred-year-old flying wood for a reliable Russian tractor ..
