In 1980 the Indian Air Force placed an order for 66 MiG-29s, making them the first international country to do so even though the MiG-29 was in its early development stage. Between 1986 and 1987 42 MiG-29s with serials KB701 to KB742 arrived. The paint scheme on these first arrivals didn’t have a standard Indian Air Force camouflage scheme, they wore Soviet colors and some of these aircraft colors varied. MiG-29 KB715 belongs to the 47th Squadron “Black Archers” at Adampur Air Force Station. Adampur is a base for 8th Wing (47th and 223rd Squadrons).
The MiG-29 is a fourth generation twin-engine supersonic air superiority jet fighter developed in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. The aircraft entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1983 and still is in use with them as well as equipping over twenty four other countries over the years. The NATO designation for the MiG-29 is Fulcrum and it was designed to counter the American F-16 and F-18. The MiG-29 was first seen in the West in 1986.
