MiG-29KUB vs Su-33/J-15

splitting off from the other thread that was going off topic..

arguement over whether MiG-29 or Su-33/J-15 is better suited for either
Kuznetsov/Varyag
and
Gorshkov

Some arguements:

Ken sez, Su-33 with folded wings, etc takes up less space than the MiG-29 with folded wings. you need less Su-33 to do the missions of the MiG-29 (older MiG at least)

Russian Navy went with MiG-29KUB because the Su-33 production line was already shut down and would require significant re-investment to re-open.. MiG-29KUB line was already open and financed by the Indians, so they piggy backed off it

Indians may have chose MiG-29KUB due to needs for Gorshkov.

J-15 is the updated Su-33, with AESA, new uprated Chinese engines, new MFDs.
