Does anyone know if a new plane was designed to replace the frogfoot?

SU-39... Su-25 with carrier hook option, more engine power and better laser targeting

So they've decided to give the Kermit another try at carriers?

In Flanker2 they fly these things from the Kuznetsov if needed. has a nice arrester hook onder the tail.
More info about the Admiral Kuznetsov...
Conventional powered carrier, with the same amount of AA weapons as a Nimitz and an AEGIS together. No catapult system but a ski-ramp
Aircraft:
Su-27K, MiG-29K.
Su-39 and Su-35 as option
Dumped projects: An-71, and the Yak AWACS that looks like a Greyhound copy
India got the 'Varyag', on the condition that they provided the aircraft.
