Moscow, February 4: India would start receiving 16 MiG-29K fighters from Russia in 2007 for deployment on aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov.
Russia's MiG corporation has been developing 12 carrier-based MiG-29K single seater fighters with multi-role capabilities and four twin-seater MiG-29KUB combat-cum-trainer aircraft as a part of the USD 1.5 billion Gorshkov deal signed in January 2004.
'The serial production of the planes has already commenced, the work is moving ahead strictly per-schedule,' Director General of Rac MiG, Alexei Fedorov told reporters here, allaying fears about a delay in the deliveries due to financial problems of the corporation.
Fedorov, who has been the pointman in the successful implementation of Sukhoi SU-30MKI deal, was appointed MiG chief last year by the Russian government to salvage MiG-29K deal with India. "
