Russia’s MiG Aircraft Corporation is holding negotiations with India on the delivery of 21 MiG-29 fighter jets, MiG CEO Ilya Tarasenko said at the MAKS-2019 international aerospace show on Wednesday. This reported by TASS.

"The request [from India] is at the stage of negotiations," the chief executive said, replying to a question about a contract with India on fighter planes.

The Economic Times earlier reported that the Indian Air Force, which is facing an acute shortage of combat aircraft, was in talks with Russia on the purchase of 21 MiG-29 light fighter jets.
