September 23, 2009: The Indian Navy is buying six of the new LCA
(Light Combat Aircraft, or "Tejas") fighters to fly from the new
carriers they will enter service in the next five years. This is an
experiment to see how the LCA will do as a carrier aircraft. The navy
has already bought navalized MiG-29s for these carriers. The navy LCAs
will also be navalized (mainly stronger landing gear, a tail hook and
different cockpit electronics.) The MiG-29K weighs 21 tons (16 percent
weapons), while the navalized LCA weighs 13 tons, 34 percent of that
weapons.
