Russia is ready to offer
again its advanced Mikoyan MiG-35 fighter jet to India, Russian Vice-Premier
Dmitry Rogozin said on Friday.
A military and industrial conference will be held
in India in spring to discuss the deliveries, repairs and maintenance of
Russian weapons, and also the efforts to set up joint ventures as part of the
"Make in India" concept, the vice-premier said.
"In this connection, we’re also ready to
offer this machine [MiG-35] for the Indian Air Force. No doubt, the talk will
be about this," Rogozin said.
Russia’s United Aircraft-Building Corporation held
an international presentation of the most advanced MiG-35 fighter jet in the
Moscow Region on Friday. The plane’s flight tests began on Thursday.
The MiG-35 was among the bids at India’s MMRCA
tender for the delivery of 126 fighter planes. At that time, Russia lost to
France’s serial-produced Dassault Rafale. However, after many years of
negotiations, India decided to limit the purchase of French aircraft to 36
machines.
