Bruh. You did not add full video of simultaneous take off.

Russia should just sell their 25 mig29k at 60m a pop to us . It's not like they have any use of those.

Kind of.. It took off with assumed 21T mtow from landbased ramp in Goa. Maybe if A.C. is sailing at 25 knots it can add 1T more. But yeah not having catapult surely affects MTOW which is 24.5T for Rafale-M.

Barak-8 will be intercepting from the front not chasing it from behind. Think logically before you type. Looks like chinese are also suffering from shallow knowledge like their Paki brethren.

That's why we should buy Rafale. Rafale is 15m long vs 18m of F-18 So as per rough guestimate , We might be able to put 18 Rafales in the space of 15 F-18SH. Vikrant could carry 30 planes. 5-6 V22 some refueler ,some awacs. Dump kamov. 20+ Rafale seems a good power punch.

Nah, Valor is too small. Half the Mtow of V22 v22 payload is good , can even be used for mid air refueling.

Damn I forgot they also fold 90degree like that.

Nice.. but its just helicopter.. Cant even see arresting cables installed. Dont know when we will see mig29K landing.

True.. i am not the one worried about US sanctions. We can buy long term spares similarly for osprey if our next carrier is Stobar, or Hawkeye e-2 if next is Catobar. If we dont FK up the lift size

No. Why so much worried about sanctions ?? Did we think about it while buying Poseidon, Globmaster , superhercules , Chinook, Apache, Vikrant's GE turbines, GE engines for LCA , MK2 , AMCA ??

V22 could've been best bet for Stobar Vikrant , but lift width.. :facepalm:

You can't build everything with just 3.4T economy having 1.5M strong army and multi million retirees hogging the budget.

It's better to fly 1 mig29k and refuel 2 NLCA instead of flying 3 mig29k. Mig29k internal can carry 5.4t + 2-3t external . That's like normal payload of internal+ weapons. It can re-fuel plenty , if probe is installed into NLCA. Mig29k might take up 2.5T for 1 hr flight around 600kmph, rest...

It should be able to refuel mid air by mig29k buddy refueling , question is What is the bring back payload capacity of NLCA.

We can use 1 mig29k as buddy refueller for multiple NLCA till f18s come I would've suggested MQ-25 ,but they will not come in service till 2025.

Watch from 31:58 After decline in Real estate and HSR , they are trying hands in defence manufacturing. Sole reason to just build build build.

That will require us to make 5-6 carriers. Better dedicate a supersize Submarine class and paint Tiger on the subamrine's tower like German Wolfpack U-boats 😍😍

Seething and coping.. These maggots should stick with discourse on cars and bikes only.

Tedbf thread is kinda dead , so asking here. Can folded wings carry same payload had they been non foldable wings ?? Also why 7.6m ? Feels too low for our any lift acting as bottleneck.
