Uttam on migs is it worth it?

But when?
Mig29 will start to retire after mk2 enters production

 

[Chinmoy]

As long as it doesn't have internal weapons bay, what's the point of stealthy design

To keep RCS as low as possible. Navy is not interested in a stealthy aircraft to begin with.

Ruski engine combined with airframe fatigue, is this even a good idea

Post FOC clearance

Ruski engine combined with airframe fatigue, is this even a good idea

The MiG-29s went in for extensive modification and upgradation during the second half of the last decade, which significantly enhanced their combat capability. Christened the MiG-29 UPG, this included modifications to the airframe along with new avionics, radar, missiles, weapon control systems and electronic warfare suite.

Mk1 and Mk1A would have same Israeli radar. How replacing it with Uttam in Mk1 would make it Mk1A?

As far as news goes, additional 50 Mk1a order in anvil.
