Are Indian Fighter Pilots better than US Fighter Pilots?
The first bilateral dissimilar air combat (DACT) exercise between the U.S. Air Force and the Indian air force in more than 40 years, Cope India 2004, took place at Gawalior, India in Feb this year. Did the IAF pilots out perform the USAF pilots during the exercise.

Tejas LCA
Because of delays in its planned induction, the Tejas does not adequately address the current and future threats faced by the IAF. There is a strong case for encouraging the IAF and ADA to think beyond the Tejas

October 23, 2009, (Splash News) - Here is some pretty cool footage of two Russian MiG-29K fighters operating from the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov that gets your adrenalin pumping.

According to meretmarine.com, the footage is from late September, so it is probably after the four Indian Navy MiG-29K and MiG-29KUBs conducted their trials on September 28-29.

The Russian Navy has placed an order for 24 MiG-29K fighters to replace the 20 Su-33s on board the Kuznetsov, which is probably good news for the Indian Navy since it is now assured of better technical and logistical support.

and don't think su33 will be retired any time soon
su33 has N001 radar which can easily be upgraded to N001VE radar which is on SU30MKK

or with ZHUK MSE/MSFE radars

and this is still competitive against mig29k equipped with PESA/AESA and allows all stand off munitions

My opinion is that the Navy should pursue the idea of having this carrier seriously. This is what they wanted in their future aircraft carriers. So, HMS Queen Elizabeth with EMALS would be a good choice by the Navy ( IMO ).
