Its actually 3 buy dosnt matter we ll upgrade all our fleet.Upgrade includes reducing rcs ,increasing capabilitied,New composite materials used ,The reworked twin-engine jet has considerably expanded combat capabilities, especially as a strike fighter against ground and seagoing targets. The upgrade involves removing the aircraft's outdated N-019 Topaz air-intercept radar,
which is outfitted with a Cassegrain-type parabolic antenna, and installing a more advanced Zhuk-ME unit with multimode capabilities and mechanically scanned, slotted antenna.
The new radar and improved fire control system enables the use of precision guided munitions, including Kh-31-series high-speed missiles. The MiG-29UPG specimen first flew in February 2011 from the Gromov Flight Research Institute, or LII, in Zhukovsky, near Moscow. Since then, RSK MiG has conducted intensive trials at LII, its own base in Lubertsy and also at the Russian Ministry of Defense's GLITs test ranges in southern Russia.
The Indian air force specification for the upgraded MiG-29UPG includes a service life extension to 3,500 flight hours And after the first mig 29 upgrade Russians was suprised and impressed with this new Mig 29
Moscow approved a major deal for the Russian navy, which is scheduled to take delivery of 20 deck-based fighters and four two-seat MiG-29KUB trainers between next year and 2015. The service will employ them from its current lone carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, which is currently used to operate Sukhoi Su-33 naval fighters. (44 new mig 29 for indian Navy AC too) SO its far better than Chinese fighter thats the point on mig 29 upgrad
3. 49(2 was lost last year) old M2K would be upgraded(in 2013-2020) and I'm afraid no upgraded M2K in IAF so far...
m2k = mirag 2000 ? you got every reason to be affraid off...Then yeah u r wrong contract already signed and upgrade is underway .WARNING Folowing info not for weak hearted chinese:India's Mirages to the full Mirage 2000v5 Mk 2 standard , including a
new RDY-3 radar with greater air-air and air-ground capability, a new night vision compatible all-digital cockpit, and improved electronic warfare systems. These will be tied into a joint tactical information data link system (JTIDS, usually Link 16 compatible but not always), plus
helmet-mounted sights for wide-angle heat-seeking missiles. As part of the upgrade, the aircraft will also be equipped with
MBDA's Mica family of medium range missiles. Better than chinese
4. IN might have around 20 mig29K,
Haha come on now.. First 29 + 16 New mig 29 for indian Navy.
Grey areas are new composite meterials
NOW LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMP IS EVEN LIGHTER AND FAR BETTER NOW...
is that figure aroud 310?
yeah just 310 be blind live in ur own world.. Close ur eyes so think whole world is dark. lol I tell u wat happen 270+ sukoi 30 mki will be more than enough to take down or keep chinese fighter at it place ... But hell lot of fire power to follow...
--------------------
by the end of 2012 , in PLAAF and PLAN AF's order
Ok sir lets have some serious look at wat these machines are capable of .ONE BY ONE
there are:
J10/A/S 250 (9 Regiments)
China's J-10 fighter is the aircraft's design was based on the Lavi- the unsuccessful attempt by Israel to develop an indigenous F-16 fighter.It s revealed these j10 has lots of problems with low-speed performance and less than expected maximum AOA at subsonic speeds.aircraft fitted with the indigenous Shenyang Liming WS-10A Taihang engine. And its inferior to USA's F16 ,.. So its Inferior to Tejas itself our small multirol fighter in all aspects.
Su27SK/UBK, J11A 170 (7 Regiments)
The controversial J-11B is an unauthorised derivative of the Sukhoi J-11A/Su-27SK, built by Shenyang in China. Su 27 is inferior to su 30.. But Su 27 is far more superior to J11A.. lol no comments PERIOD!
Su30MKK 100 (5 Regiments)
100 su30 mkk of chinese is good fighter agreed but really not the better fighter than su 30 mki .With thrust vector and high tec avionics... Ur wish u agree or to close ur eyes and ears..
J11B/BS
120 (5 Regiments)
LOL i love one thing about u and china .They dont tell u what really going on or PPL of china dont care or not allowed to question ability of the mass produced junk.Let me tell u the greatest missile power in the world is pakistan As no failure reported..99% success
.Let me tell u wat ur govt dint tell... "The J-11B program is in big trouble; the Chinese have lost a lot of aircraft in crashes," said the U.S. source. "They have also reached a technological plateau and need help going to the next step beyond the Su-27/J-11."
J8DF/DH/F 200 (8 Regiments)
Indigenously developed 3rd generation fighter aircraft. these are inferior to MIG 21 Bis .U must be joking me can a new Mig 21 fight a against 4 and 4++ gen fighters ? Still u talking about quatity .SAD
J7B/H/E/G 800+(29 Regiments)
JH7/7A 220 (9 Regiments)
Haha some doubt is china going for so RC Plan Competition? These are DUDs China still has them in service just to show off with number.. India now has the high capability fighters with uptodate upgrade and u wanna fight our Champs with Copy cats 4 gen ,3rd gen and 2 gen fighters ? Its a big Joke.. Even if ur copycats are good Lets see the number game itself . 250+170+120 are ur 4th gen fighters 540( J10s infireor to F16, J11 A inferior to Su 27 ,J11B/BS far inferior to Su 30 MKK, Su 30 Mkk inferior to Su 30 MKI ) ------Excluded= J8 + J7 + JH7/7A total of 45 regments of dud Historical articraft of PLAAF are inferior to Indian Airforce Mig 21,27s Wr is the CHINESE superiority u talked about.I chalenge u to did prove my CLAIM.. Doont jst point out pity state of IAF etc Provide with some real info...
LOL...all these are real number in service ...not those in plan or even the contract hasn't been inked...
BTW ,CAC produced around 60 J10A/S from two assembly lines in year 2012
good chinese produces 60 j 10 in 2012 which india cant but We will produce tejas at low rate which is more than ennough to take all ur bird down.
