I did a little more research. The Indians will use MIG 29s. Will this actually be their second carrier? Didn't the Indians purchase a decommissioned Russian carrier before?

Interesting. Thought they would have gone with Sea Flankers.

Didn't know the Mig 29 had been done for carrier operations? Or are the Indians doing their own "Sea Fulcrum".
