I am also not sure about your wisdom if you have any?
How many Airforces, as equipped and professional as IAF, have used Mig-29 in actual combat? Nil. Yugoslavia's didn't have even enough parts to maintain properly, they had to cannibilize some to maintain others. Iraq Air force faced an overwhelming odds against so much numerically superior and technically advanced enemy, that nothing could have saved them. Further, the Iraqi Migs had to depend to ground based radars for situational awareness, and those radars were the first to have been taken out by F-117, which blinded the fighters.
Now, IAF or IN Migs will be professionally maintained, and AFAIK pilots will go through rigorous training and high flying hours. These migs are also fitted with as advanced equipment as can be made available. Also, these particular Migs will be flying mainly in anti-ship mission, and occasional Air Defence mission as I don't see in near future another carrier equiped navy, but for China, rising hereabout. China's air platforms will be equal in capabilities. Over the sea the AD SAM platforms are easily detectable and could be avoided or made the primary target first. So, attrition 'coz of SAM will be far low.
