If this is how Indian Navy thinks, then its pretty pessimistic future....this is insane and you can always sell the IAC-1 carrier since its indigenous mostly with supply chain and spares being available to other countries that have much different requirements. There is no reason to believe IN...

Max loads are rarely carried by even the land based fighters, has to be extreme or very serious mission to do so. I don't know but I would imagine that max loads mission profile probably fall outside the 3rd deviation.

Its SH or Mig29k really till tedbf if and when it comes along.....IAC-1 followup if it exists can correct the lift size and future proofed....not the end of the world scenario considering its first mostly home built. Anyone that expected more perfection is not being realistic.

Sure, so I guess since we aren't capable of building it on our own nor buy then we can close our defence establishment and call it done. If we could not afford Rafale then why even go for it in the first place? Who operates defence procurement without a path forward from financial aspects like...

Square peg in round hole type of problems always come up and that's where innovative solutions are needed.

Three is a reasonable number with Vikramaditya having its own issues, we need one more in the same class with design corrections to optimize spares and so on.....this is ridiculous to not have a follow up. Should not have started the construction of IAC-1 and went through all that effort for one...

Nothing meant personally bhai, everyone that does not consciously think or pursue will consume what is indoctrinated in schooling in India like akbar is great, sikhs (like they did not have HIndu lineage) are all/only warriors and so on. So sailor or Admiral of navy, it does not matter. I am not...

Lol, people flying flags on horses and ships are the primary means of identification.....may be 200 years ago. There are many shameful things that are accepted due to India's permissive nature borderlining on gulaami mindset to this day. Atleast this is a first baby step leading to deep...

This is a weird attribution of reason and logic and frankly India should not do it half hearted with measured "secular" approach. Do it with guts and put traditional elements in it.

I see Indian, Japanese intersection in this, My choice would be Hanuman ji behind the swastika getting rid of Ashoka Chakra and replace it with Sudharshan chakra

Should be BajrangBali in white for Navy, blue for IAF and SAffron for Army......just like in Mahabharat

For all that you need a strategic plan with good funding and domestic capability to build ships at a decent pace. No one follows a guy that can't throw his weight around, they will not follow us if we don't show muscle capability to back it up. Soviet navy under admiral gorshokov gained...

Pressure is to divert our resources towards watching them or just to divert and they can afford to because of their huge numbers. There is very little action from India due to our political impotency, either case 12 destroyers against a country that is going to have 60 to 70 with that works hand...

Probably the most discussed lift topic in the world lol. What is that ugly camos those officers were sporting? Chinese blue camos, LTTE camos and then Indian camos are probably the worst looking aesthetically speaking.

Anyone that thinks 12-15 destroyers are enough considering PLN numbers has another thing coming, when Chinese get enough carriers they are going to park one in IOR along with escorts to bring pressure on us. We need more destroyers and preferably a carrier to park on the other side of the...

Ya, odds are we will end up with neither on time. Pessimists have better odds here, shorts win.

Your comments do not make us any stronger, apparently there are a lot that thrive by pointing at others but fact is western tech is not a guaranteed winner anymore and neither do they have the numbers or the leadership. Anyone that goes about tech detailing to the finest degree as an edge has...

What gap? They built the fucking islands and USN just watched and bitched....no FONOPS stunt is changing that reality. You don't seem to realize tech difference in military is not same as tech difference in civilian....engines is the only area where they lag. It requires 1000's of hours of...

Bhai, there are lot of "ifs", you can do predictions reasonably only if you have good data sample, what is the average keel laying to commision time of a destroyer and how many we lay down at one time? By the time of 2040's some of our ships are 30 years old already.....reason why getting a...

I hope your optimism comes true, but there is simply no evidence that even most obvious things will happen . My point being IAC-1 follow up (if it does not happen), I really hope NGD serial production takes place like Chinese. Decade delay means opponents getting an extra decade and with an...
