It looks like navy's way of convincing the MOD to order more sqds of Mig29K before the Russians shut the assembly line
As per reports, only 6 Mig29Ks are left for delivery to Indian Navy and another 16 are due for Russian Navy
This order will be fulfilled by 2017, and then the plant could be closed for want of orders

How do you think a naval aviator qualifies for live carrier ops? It is not like a driving test- once you have your licence you are done. Aviators have to qualify then requalify every few years and the SBRF will be part of that process. Additionally the IN will be using the SBTF to constantly train ground crew, certify aircraft and test new load outs, equipment, procedures and such. This is before we even mention the N-LCA and the work the ADA/national flight test centre will be doing at this facility.


The SBTF will be used year round (on an almost daily basis ) for a number of tasks.


Not 100% of the MiG-29K/KUB will be embarked on ACCs at any one time- not even close.
