India’s Fighter Modernization: Add MiG-29s to the List (updated)

IANS reports that India is finalizing a proposal to have its fleet of MiG-29 lightweight fighters refurbished for $888 million by the Russian company RSK-MiG, which has a dedicated upgrade set designed to take older MiG-29s to MiG-29SMT/UBT status.
Ah but you see xinhui nothing is true till it is true.

Its only when the pen and paper meet that a deal is signed, India had other options, strong options, especially after the engine-spare part had been taken care of.
