The RSK MiG-29UPG had its maiden flight at the Gromov LII airfield near Moscow on 4 February. The MiG-29UPG has been developed by RSK MiG at the request of the Indian air force.
"The almost 1h-long flight went absolutely smoothly," the company says.
A Russian-Indian contract, worth $964 million, was signed on 7 March 2008 to upgrade 63 of India's current MiG-29s to a common configuration.
