Under a bilateral nuclear energy roadmap, Russia is to build 12 new nuclear electricity units in India. It will also cooperate with that country in developing and manufacturing receivers for its GLONASS global navigation and positioning system. These are just some of agreements and contracts after a New Delhi visit by Vladimir Putin. India will also procure 28 MiG-29K jet fighters for flying them from a Russian-made carrier, to be sold to it in 2013. The two countries will continue joint projects to assemble Russian-designed tanks at Indian plants  and develop a fifth-generation jet fighter and a naval cruise missile, known by its codename Bramos. According to the Russian and the Indian Prime Ministers, the bilateral agenda also includes joint efforts to contain and destroy Afghan-based terrorism. The hosting Premier Manmohan Singh praised his Russian counterpart as a great partnership architect.
