T-50 super-maneouvrability
MOSCOW, August 6 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Air Force will take delivery of its first fifth-generation T-50 fighter jet "in the third quarter of this year" for final state test flights starting in the fourth quarter, the service's commander Lt. Gen. Viktor Bondarev said Tuesday.
In late April, President Vladimir Putin said the T-50 would enter service with the country’s armed forces in 2016, and not 2015 as had been previously announced. United Aircraft Corporation's President Mikhail Pogosyan said T-50 flight tests would begin in 2014.
The T-50, which will make up the core of Russia's future fighter fleet, is a multirole warplane featuring "stealth" technology," super-maneuverability, super-cruise capability, and advanced avionics including an active electronically-scanned array radar, according to its designer Sukhoi.
India also plans to buy a fighter aircraft based on the T-50, known as the FGFA (fifth-generation fighter aircraft).
United Aircraft Corporation is the state holding company uniting Russia's aircraft building industry including Sukhoi, a military and civil aircraft manufacturer.

Well, the pictures of the Kuznetsov vary with what you see on deck based on the exercise she is on.I have 21 Su-33 dam !
Unit : 279 Fighter Rgt to Severomorsk-1 with also 4 Su-25 UTG for training new pilots.
For example, here you see 9 SU-33s on deck and two SU-25s:
However, in this pic (which almost looks like a CG to me), there are 24 SU-33s (a full load) on deck:

I suspect We will see more Mig29K's on that deck for a while. The Indian Carrier buys have opened up that production line and leveraging that the Russians may take the Time to renew their fleet.
Oh yes, most defintely.
The Russians have already announced that they intend to replace the entire SU-33 fleet with Mig-29Ks.
They will be able to fly more Mig-29Ks off of the Kuznetsov than the do SU-33s, and they will get just about as much bang for the buck in terms of performance, but with more modern, new build aircraft.

MOSCOW, August 20 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s Defense Ministry postponed the purchase of 37 MiG-35 fighter jets until 2016 because the defense industry cannot fulfill the contract, a senior defense official said Tuesday.
“The Finance Ministry has nothing to do with it, the industry is not ready yet,” Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said, after confirming that 16 MiG-29SMT fighter jets will be bought instead.
He also said that defense spending under the state arms procurement program for the current year will not be cut.
The ministry was due to sign a 37 billion rubles ($1.1 billion) deal with MiG in June, but last month the aircraft corporation's CEO Sergei Korotkov told RIA Novosti the contract had still not been signed.
The Mikoyan MiG-35 (Fulcrum-F) is a 4++ generation fighter jet and a modification of the MiG-29M. It is equipped with air-to-air and air-to-surface guided missiles, as well as the Zhuk-A radar system.
MOSCOW, August 20 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Defense Ministry and the MiG aircraft corporation have agreed the purchase of 16 MiG-29SMT fighter jets until 2016, the Kommersant daily reported Tuesday citing a high-ranking military source.
The agreement is part of the government’s effort to keep the struggling combat aircraft maker afloat following the announced delay of the contract on the purchase of 37 MiG-35 fighters until after 2016.
“The MiG corporation will have three years to perfect the design of its MiG-35 aircraft and prepare its smooth transition to mass production,” the source told Kommersant on condition of anonymity.
“Meanwhile, we will work together on MiG-29SMT, which is already in service [with the Russian Air Force], and at the same time support our [aircraft-making] industry,” the source said.
Sources in Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), which includes the MiG company, confirmed the upcoming deal adding that an option for the purchase of a second batch of MiG-29SMTs will be offered to the military

Russia will buy Mig-29 SMT instead of troubled Mig-35 . I think that SMT is made from older conserved planes and parts , left in storage since the 90's , while Mig-29 M , K and Mig-35 are newly built . Unlike Sukhoi , Mig corporation is in the deep trouble since the breakup of Soviet Union , and only thing that kept them afloat was size of the INS Vikramaditya
