Only for IAC1 and upcoming IAC2 not for Viki . It will be mostly turned into Quasi LHD if IN plans to retain it or will operate only Mig-29ks .

Because they are seriously looking to phase out ruskies birds and also find out viable option for future 3rd carrier . So if they start now only it will work out down the line in decade .

Ayega toh F-eighteeen only . Just wait and watch

Is this coming from horse's mouth in SB ?? just asking for a friend :cool1:

They are also making Hull for ATV . Basically they have all in them to become our Desi General Dynamics if nurtured slowly and steadily . From building Artillery to Ships and Subs and Missiles .

Looks like we can hope for sea trails to start by this year end .

You can bet on GTRE developing a better engine than russkies for sure. All the russkie did was use us as cash cow and milk us to every last drop of blood forget milk

It can only fit Mig-29k with Folded wings and NLCA . Nothing else will fit in those LIFT

The problem is not about STOBAR capabilities , Its about the LIFT in the IAC Vikrant which can only accommodate Mig-29K . Rafale won't fit in those LIFT because it don't have folding wings . So technically nothing will work in IAC Vikrant apart from Mig-29k , Reason's why TEDBF is very crucial...
