<span class="img-border">The MiG-29K features a totally redesigned wing and leading edge 
root extension, beefier landing gear, a modern glass cockpit and the 
proven and upgradable <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuk_%28radar%29" target="_blank">Zhuk-ME</a>
 radar. It also carries much more gas than the "legacy" MiG-29 (40% more
 internal fuel), includes a full fly-by-wire flight control system, has 
true multi-role capability and includes a high-degree of sensor fusion, 
at least for a Russian design. All of this comes in a package with the 
ruggedness that is a hallmark of MiG designs. As a comparison, the 
MiG-29K is very roughly analogous to something between an F/A-18C/D 
Hornet and a early block F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.</span><br />
<span class="img-border">  </span><br />
<span class="img-border">MiG-29K seems like a rational mix of capability, size and cost 
(unit cost around $32M). It also offers the multi-role capability, 
relatively advanced weaponry and ability to act as a buddy tanker that 
have been lacking in past Russian naval fighter designs</span><br />
