Kamov Ka-31 in flight, showing the E-801M "Oko" radar folded flat under the fuselage.


The E-810M "Oko" (Eye) is an IEEE L-Band pulse-doppler radar with a 6x1 metre planar array that
unfolds and rotates under the aircraft at 6rpm. It can detect fighter-sized targets out to about 200km and warships at 250km or more (speculative figures). This aircraft is one of the second batch of Ka-31s ordered by the Indian Navy, in service with INAS 339 "Falcons" based at Dabolim.

With both Indian display teams (Surya Kiran - IAF and Sagar Pawan - IN) disbanded to conserve airframe hours on the ageing Kiran fleet, this ex-Sagar Pawan bird is now flying with INAS 551.

The Indian Navy will receive the first of its BAE Hawk trainers this year, with 17 to be based at INS Dega for future jet training.

MiG-29K IN811 from INAS 303 "Black Panthers" shows off its impressive weapons fit.

From inboard pylon to out - Kh-35 AShM (AS-20 Kayak), B8-M1 57mm 20-rd rocket pod, R-77 BVRAAM (AA-12 Adder), ECM pod (starboard pylon), ACMI pod (port pylon).

Mikoyan MiG-29KUB IN673 by Angad Singh | Zone 5 Aviation, on Flickr

Interestingly, the MiG-29KUB is all but identical (externally) to the MiG-29K. The difference is that the backseater's spot is occupied by fuel in single-seater. Probably makes for pretty streamlined production.
