When MIG project was transferred from the then USSR to India ?

  • A.After 1947-48 Kashmir Operation
  • B.After 1962 Chinese Aggression
  • C.After 1971 Indo-Pak War
  • D.Before independence

Answer: B

The key places the MiG project transfer after 1962 Chinese Aggression.

India agreed with the USSR in 1962 to acquire the MiG-21 and to manufacture it under licence. The aircraft reached the Indian Air Force from 1963, and Hindustan Aeronautics set up factories at Nasik, Koraput and Hyderabad to build the airframe, engine and avionics, so the transfer of technology took place in the years after the war with China, when India was rapidly expanding its forces.

Before independence and after 1947-48 India relied on British aircraft, and by 1971 the MiG-21 was already in Indian service, so those options are too early or too late.
