Upgraded MiGs to fly again

NEW DELHI MAY 12. Amid tension on the border, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has decided to restore the upgraded version of the MiG Bis aircraft to its operational status next week.

IAF sources said today that at least one squadron involving about 15 to 20 aircraft will be on flying duty from next week. However, checks were still being carried out on the fighter planes fitted with old engines.

A detailed probe, however, continued into the Type 75 variant of the MiG aircraft. These were withdrawn on May 3.
