    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    The first step is show of strength. Firing cannot be the first step. Coast guard is increasing its strength in this area. So things should get better.

    There is a huge expansion of coast guard for the specific purpose of resolving such issues. Lot of patrol boats are being bought. I think situation will get better with more resources on Indian side.

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    The maritime border security is the job of coast guard. Sure coast guard can deploy more boats in this zone. I understand that there are thousands of small fishing boats that go out to sea everyday. It is a large area and big number of boats makes the job hard for coast guard. Tamilnadu...

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    India has adequate resources to invade Sri Lanka today. A 20B Carrier is not needed. However warfighting and occupying a country is enormously expensive. India can always shoot back and sink some Sri Lankan boats if need be. But that does not help as we need to keep Sri Lanka in our sphere of...

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    No you do not get the point at all. Russians are invited because the concept is too expensive and seriously over budget. The problem on this message board is I am dealing with minors who understand a bit of technology but nothing else. Just the fact that Russians are invited means that IN has...

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    "without anyone's help" I would refrain from making such statements. Gas engines are imported. Radars are imported. SAMs are imported. CIWS is imported. Airplanes and helicopters are imported. IN has sent a request to a Russian company to bid for consultancy project for INS Vishal. You should...

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    The easiest are sanctions. Equipment will die from lack of spares. This happened to American WLR bought after Kargil. Another type of method is bugs installed: both hardware/software, which activate by radio signals, and can make equipment malfunction, like a plane crash.

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    Because Pakistan is USA's major non-NATO ally. Pakistan gets weapons at a fraction of price of what India gets. The empire is in cahoots with Sunni Muslims. This is a known fact which our Generals want to ignore. We can buy Western weapons but with clear knowledge that these weapons may not...

    I don't agree with your assessment. Pakistan can last months and even years of conventional war. As I said the intensity can go up and down. India itself has limited ability to occupy Pakistani land.

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    Pakistan is fighting a proxy war with India since 1990. This war consumes about 10% of India's annual military budget to fight. The cost for Pakistan is less than one-tenth of India's. This is the reason it has been sustainable for Pakistan. War has many characterizations, but it is war...

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    You are wrong. Just look at many wars in recent history. Even Yemen war has been going on for more than one year despite naval blockade and one side clearly having much greater firepower. Conventional wars also follow a pattern of peaks and troughs and can go on for several years.

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    You cannot go to Russia to build the ship and then expect to install American EMALS. This is what I am saying, Navy is running helter-skelter as it does not know how to take this forward.

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    So you think war is driven by India's economy? Or you think India will capitulate after first 15 days. You have a romantic notion of war. It is unfortunate. India can easily sustain a war for years. The economy will be hurt, yes, but India has considerable resources.

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    A conventionally powered carrier can take supplies for about 45 days at sea. The ship can be resupplied at sea or at a friendly port overseas. There is no hard limit on a conventional powered ship. The nuclear propulsion is better but far more technically complex. The reliability of power plant...

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    Why it is not feasible?? Wars can go on for years. There is no guarantee that India can enforce a foolproof blockade of other country, or other country can do the same to India.

    An imaginary carrier can have ten ski jumps and ten EMALs. Why bother??

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    Yes I see the tone of posters here. I am only saying we shall see. Some people are over-optimistic and are wasting government time and money. There is no need to say a lot and fill up pages. We shall just wait and see.

    India will shortly announce the construction of its 4th Aircraft Carrier

    The building of Indian superpower requires building all areas, first and foremost, economy. The Indian economy needs to take its rightful place, that is, a share of world economy that is proportionate to its population. A nuclear powered carrier is useless if neither political will nor...

    And India will build a colony on moon next year. And you will be the first moon-nat.
