Indien hat ja schon seit Jahren eine hochgerüstete Flugzeugindustrie, die u.a. die MiG 21 in großen Stückzahlen in Lizenz gebaut hat und auch eigene Fighter entwickelt.
Trotzdem hab ich keinen Thread dazu gefunden, daher:

India to make MiG-29 engines with Russian help

Moscow, Sept. 4 (PTI): Russia will help India make modernised engines for the MiG-29 fighters of the Indian Air Force under a USD 250 million deal .

Russia's state-run 'Rosoboronexport' arms exporting corporation has just signed the deal with India under which Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) will make 120 RD-33 series 3 jet engines at its Koraput plant for the upgradation of MiG-29 fighters.

.....

In the first stage HAL will make 120 engines, which would cost less than those directly bought from Russia.

This deal would help HAL master the assembly of next generation jet engines, including RD-33MK (Sea Wasp) engines for deck based MiG-29K naval fighters being acquired under the Gorshkov aircraft carrier deal. It will also help develop thrust-vectoring engines for the MiG-35 fighters, which Russia is fielding for USD 9 billion Indian tender for 126 advanced combat jets, the daily writes quoting experts.

Later this month RAC MiG is planning to sign about USD 1 billion deal with India for the modernisation and upgradation of 66 MiG-29 fighters in service with the IAF.
