Video of MiG-29K touch and go landing on the Vikramaditya.

Thanks for posting Franklin, awesome video, wish they would have shown the throttle up and departure, you can just hear the turbines starting to spool up as the vid ends. Cheers AFB

Great video Franklin. Nice find.

I know the Russians have not turned over the Vikramaditya to the IN yet..but it's as though they are like a child that won't give the toy back to it's friend.

Does anyone have any idea when the ship will be turned over to the IN? Or when IN sailors will start to train on the ship?

Nice find Franklin, but I fear it was a a touch n go. This has to be the first landing of the MiG-29 KUB that happened on 28th July 2012. The first clip in that video is probably a touch and go. The second is definitely a trap. I can see three tire burns with intervals and I think the stretched wire can also be seen if we look more closely. But not clear which wire was trapped.

lol. Yes, it looks like now Russia want to have that ship too...

The ship is to be handed over to Indian Navy on or before 4th Dec 2012, which is Indian Navy Day. The ship is expected to reach India around July 2013. There are already over 500 Indian observers on the ship for the sea trials and the technical crews was already trained in batches over the past years. The ship crew will likely be trained after the sea trials are over and likely to span over 4-6 months in Russia, which probably explains why the ship is likely to reach India only by July 2013.
