If India goes for joint ownership with Migs, we could have had Mig29-K further improvised with the following plan :-



1. A better engine on the lines of EJ200/ALFP or P&W F35B VTOL lines.

2. Have the rights to change design for VTOL.

3. Local R&D labs and production engineering advancement on a joint basis, initially catering mostly to IAF and IN.

4. Elta electronics and radars with Rafael missiles, with Vetrivel project further advancing. The team must be free now.

5. More integration of stores from MKI, French, Israel and desh weapons.

6. More work for DRDO and improvised setup for attacking the MCA/FGFA.



These major areas will get boost.



1. Stealth: electronics, shapes structure and materials

2. Electronics and Radars - Israeli and French technology assimilation

3. Advanced SC blades and engines from either Saturn or other [GE/EADS/P&W/Snecma].



We made a mistake by not buying or joint works with the Mig corp.



We want too many things done with too little budget... and buying the Migs was the best option. imho, its not too late now.
