Badguy2000 and Redragon: I admire your courage and efforts but these Indian friends live in their own world they created for themselves. They love to blindfold their eyes and stuff their ears for anything they dont want to see or hear. So your efforts are not appreciated..
By the way moderator: you are a moderator, not a dictator. Don't just ban to delete anything you don't like. If India claims to be a democratic country, you should behave like one.
Au contraire, you seem to live in a fantasy world with delusions of grandeur. Jumping quickly to conclusions even before they are reached, forming certainties on the basis of 'pics'- particularly, when the Chinese have a history of PS'ing them in the past, basing your countervailing opinions on 'sites' about Indians because they tell you
what you want to hear, and generally forming postulations and opinions about weaponry on the basis of inadequate proof. If you want to speculate, you'll have to listen to the other side of speculation as well. No one's disputing your ability to speculate, but when you do, you have to keep an open mind to contradicting speculation, particularly when your 'proof' is so little, and your reading of the 'proof' itself flawed.
You This forum is a lot more lenient on foreigners, and a lot less tolerant of the shit Indians do, compared to some of the chinese forums on the web.
facts:
4. From the Pic of Vayag I paste, you can see at leat one of the 4 square antenas has been installed, and you can also see it's undergoing degaussing right now, there are some wires hanging in equal range.
What I believe are Vayag is very likely to enter service earlier than its indian cousin, and a su-33 like fighter will be used for training pilots, in the coming 2-3 years you will see all these. I agree I can't provide links or articles to prove that, but at the same time no other members can prove those are lies, so I will see you in this tread later, that time we can tell if I were wrong
I don't think you have a clue as to what degaussing of a ship looks like. Unless, as I have postulated, you've invented a new method of degaussing, or are using degaussing methods that've been relinquished into antiquity, those pics don't show a 'degaussing' system in process. Alternatively, someone seems to have taken a really old pic of a different, but related, field called
'Deperming' and PS'ed it, without an adequate knowledge of the process, on the pic:
This is from the era of black-and-white photo from an ex
Kiev-class air-carrier:
Here are the only methods of degaussing of ships' hulls in current existence:
The
Main coil (M) compensates the induced, permanent vertical components of the ship's magnetic field in the Z zone. It is installed in the horizontal plane at the waterline. As the ship changes hemispheres the coil current polarity must be and is manually adjusted.
The
Forecastle permanent - Quarterdeck permanent coils (FP-QP) compensate for the longitudinal permanent component of the ship's magnetic field. The FP coil encircles approximately the forward 1/3 of the ship in the horizontal plane at the main deck. QP coil encircles approximately the after 1/3 of the ship in the horizontal plane at the quarterdeck. Any coil current changes require manual adjustment. The
Forecastle induced - Quarterdeck induced coils (FI-QI) are located in the same area as the FP-QP coils, they compensate for the longitudinal induced component of the ship's magnetic field. The FI-QI current is proportional to the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field along the ship's longitudinal axis. The FI-QI coil current is manually changed, by shifting the "H zone" switch on the switchboard, when the ship's location changes H zones. The degaussing system automatically compensates for heading changes by converting a gyro input signal to a magnetic heading.
The
Athwartship coil (A) is installed in the vertical plane and extends from the keel to the main deck. It compensates the athwartship induced and athwartship's permanent components of the ship's magnetic field. The A coil current consists of permanent and induced components.
P.S.:
nrj, don't lose your cool. He's entitled to speculate. Just as you are.
