yeah yeah it's more modern more automation yadayadayada!please mate try not to act like a lunatic in a defence forum

 

[mikhail]

Mods please take care of this guy as it seems he is here in DFI only to troll and to contribute anything important!

Forget about that for a second. India doesn't even have a carrier battle group, so its carrier stays close to shore just like the chinese until they have mastered the art of carrier battle operations. Its not easy to do. Hence your carrier cannot project power. Its a sitting duck for pakistan subs and dare I say chinese made anti ship missiles..

Sitting ducks?? Have you heard of Barak 8 ?

 

[mikhail]

for your information,India has maintained a CBG from the early 1960s!see these things happen when you talk about something on which you don't have any prior knowledge:!

This is actually a simple debate to resolve, if INS Viraat has a battle group then provide a list of the ships, submarines and other assets of the battle group.

(I think I saw several pictures of INS Viraat with frigate escorts...)

BTW, I found this article: Carrier battle group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Indian carrier battle group

The centrepiece of the Indian carrier battle group is currently the INS Viraat, an updated Centaur class light carrier originally built for the Royal Navy as HMS Hermes, which was laid down in 1944 and commissioned in 1959. It was purchased by India in 1986. India will commission a second aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, in 2012 and will follow this with a third carrier, INS Vikrant 2, in 2015. Whilst INS Vikramaditya is a former Soviet Kiev class carrier, the Admiral Gorshkov, the Vikrant will be the first indigenous Indian aircraft carrier. India eventually will have 2 Carrier battle groups by 2017.[4][5]

The Indian Navy's CBG usually consists of two destroyers (usually of the Delhi Class, previously Kashins were used) and two or more frigates, (usually a combination of Brahmaputra, Talwar or Shivalik class) and one support ship.[citation needed]


Interestingly, the article did not mention about submarines and resupply ships attached to the CBG?

The Article Above is for an rough Idea..

This Photo is from early 90s..

Late 90s

From 2008-2010..

 

[asianobserve]

The ship on the upper-right-hand portion of the photo is an Arleigh Burke Class destroyer. This photo could have been taken during a joint Indo-US naval exercise.

 

[asianobserve]

I have yet to see photos of the Indian CBG with an organic submarine. I think a nuclear powered submarine would be more suitable for this job.

Trolls has no standards.

IN is going for Seahawks to replace its old fleet of Sea Kings which are nearing their end of life. This is a very normal followed in every navy where old equipment is replaced by the new one.

Kunal, Defcon! there is no fun in giving free coaching to this troll, it is waste of time & your efforts.

 

[Defcon 1]
