Look what the IAF's shopping for!

It is shopping time again for the Indian Air Force.

While the United States has offered to sell F-16s and P-3 Orion recon planes to India, it seems the IAF is also setting its eyes on the Russian MiG-35s (left).

Air chief S P Tyagi, in Russia on an official visit, was witness to a demonstration of the Mig-35s and came back impressed.

Soon after, he said the IAF has asked Russia's MiG Aircraft Corporation to send a proposal for the acquisition of 126 fighters by India.
