Pak, Chinese threat: India deploys MiG-29 fighter jets in Srinagar

Srinagar: India deploys updated MiG-29 fighter jets in Srinagar following threats from Pakistan and China. The MiG-29 will replace the MiG-21 currently at Srinagar Air Base. After the Balakot air strike in 2019, it was the MiG-29 that shot down Pakistan’s F-16. The MiG-29 is capable of carrying long-range missiles. The MiG-29 was delivered to the Srinagar airbase in January this year.
