More MiG 29K aircraft to be inducted into Indian Navy
 
The Indian Navy is set to acquire 16 MiG-29K fighters, including four trainer aircraft, in two years, and 16 helicopters in four years, Navy Chief Admiral Nirmal Verma said here on Saturday.

The 16 MiG-29Ks were part of a first contract — with Russia — and 29 more fighter planes would be acquired through a second contract, he said at a press conference held onboard the INS Shakti, after he commissioned the fleet tanker at the Naval Dockyard here.

Admiral Verma hoped the refitting work being done on the aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, in Russia would be completed according to schedule — by 2012.

The work has been halted for one-and-a-half years over price issues.

On coastal security, Admiral Verma said a lot of improvement was made after the Mumbai attacks and the Navy, the Coast Guard and the State governments were in perfect coordination. The Cabinet Secretary was regularly reviewing the situation.
