Embargoes have forced RSK-MiG to deliver MiG-29Ks to India in substandard configuration

Indian and Russian specialists in Goa are busy working on upgrading the Indian Navy’s MiG-29K fleet to its final configuration due to embargoes placed by Ukraine and Western nations.


The jets were ordered before the embargoes were enacted and since then, Ukraine has stopped the shipment of components to Russia and the same goes for Western military components.

Therefore, India had to arrange for those parts to be delivered locally before Russian technicians can install them on the flightline.
