“It is being planned to deploy the MiG-29K fighter aircraft at an IAF base in the northern sector. They might be used for carrying out operational flying in the eastern Ladakh along the Line of Actual Control,” news agency ANI reported quoting government sources.

The news report also added that some of those fighters could replace air force fighters at bases in western India as those are being moved to the northern sector facing China.

India has 45 MiG-29Ks but lost three so far in accidents.
