Repainted & undergoing tests...

Xposting from BRF.. http://www.aeromag.in/Magazines/1485945166.pdf NP-5 is in the final stages of build and is expected to fly in March 2022.

We aren't sure of anything

We're marlins a dry dock that can sit a 70k ton class ship... To be completed by 2023. But technically we won't know until then, but the pressure for a 3rd carrier is building

Could something like this at the central pylon, be utilised to increase the skyjump takeoff speed & payload of NLCA?

We know both F-18 & Rafales have their chances in (–)ve... So not too much. Plus it's not updated with the news reports of proposals to induct a trainer squadron.

THAT BIG! For what?!.. And don't NP-1 need it?

No but, as of 2020 i heard the balls were rolling again. It made some headlines too: https://www.financialexpress.com/defence/defexpo-2020-japanese-amphibious-plane-back-on-track-for-the-indian-navy/1857302/lite/

https://idrw.org/lca-navy-mk1-navy-considering-establishing-carrier-training-squadron/ "Navy is considering HAL’s proposal to procure 18 jets that will be deputed on board both aircraft carriers to serve as an upcoming dedicated carrier training squadron and also has a point air defense...

What's this thing behind the pilot on the NP-2?.. And where is it kept in twin seater NP-1?

Well, well... Notwithstanding the reliability of the report, that's be swell it true.

Found the prefect meme...

Tell us a bit about these DCS squadrons... Are they like clans, battling pvp online?

Videos & screengrabs please. Also bit more details on each. We don't really know much about DCS community.

It's probably gonna become display memorial... Until TEDBF flies we'll have no more deck-landings.

One priyajitbera made a cute NLCA render at TurboSquid, needs that 725lt centreline drop-tank... Pssible only if launched by CATOBAR though.

My bad (well noted). Still NP-2 is much larger, if we assume NP-1 to be similar to twin-seater Tejas trainer in size. Landing gear much higher too!

HVT told me NLCA was bigger than LCA-AF. Didn't realise it was this much bigger though.
