After the Indian Air Force, the Indian Navy is looking to modernise its naval fleet by inducting the INS Vikrant as the second aircraft carrier being commissioned into the Navy. Indian Navy will replace its ageing fleet of Mig-29K with modern aircrafts. The Indian Navy has completed trials of various companies for its fighter programme. The Indian Navy had initiated the process of procuring 57 fighter jets for its two aircraft carriers. The two finalists for the Navy’s new fighter jet are the french Rafael Marine aircraft and F/a-18 super hornet for its fleet.
