The navalized verion for the Indian aircraft carrier- What is Russia's record in these kind of planes- remember its not VTOL like the Yaks the Groshkov was designed for, its gonna have arrestor wires and a ramp takeoff (no catapult). And night landing, brrr I wouldn't want this job.

They've launched a few Su-33s off a carrier before.

I heard those aircraft launch with a very minimal payload. Like maybe 4 AA missiles and fuel tanks.

Su 33 would have been better choice than Mig 29K
