The Russian Navy expects to buy MiG-29K for a single aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. There is a version called two-seat MiG-29KUB. It will be very similar to the last known version of the MiG-29, the MiG-29 Fulcrum F, also known as MiG-35. The latest version of MiG-29K is a derivative of the MiG-29M Fulcrum-E with the latest radar and avionics. Russia finally opted for the more capable Su-33 Sea Flanker to operate from its sole remaining aircraft carrier, while India is practically the only customer of the aircraft, and operates it on board the future aircraft carrier Kiev class purchased from 2nd hand to Russia and retired prior to delivery to the Indian Navy. The naval version of the MiG-29 was first studied in 1984 and was originally designed to operate on aircraft carriers that the Soviet Union had planned in the late 80's.
