The Indian air force has taken delivery of ten Russian Mikoyan MiG-21UM Mongol two-seat trainer aircraft. Early- model MiG-21Us and two-seat Hawker Hunters used for training, are expected to be phased out, over the next 18 months. India eventually intends to purchase either the British Aerospace Hawk or the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet to fulfil its advanced-jet-trainer requirements.
