Do you think the ski jump deck on Juan Carlos class is for winter sports! if required a arrestor can be employed..

Juan Carlos class comes with a ski jump deck which will facilitate NLCA to be operated on LPD/LHD. Why do we need to buy costly F35 when we have a home-grown solution. And at the price of a squadron of F35 we can have a LHD with a NLCA squadron on it.

Makes sense this project will take approximately ten years to complete by then naval LCA will be ready for deployment on these ships. Juan Carlos class will be a very good choice..

Nice thought but the ground realities are different, the chinks are supporting the porkies to keep India within the regional prism and know we will be the only one nation to oppose a Chinese hegemony in Asia. We better be prepared for all eventuality rather be caught by surprise like 62. We must...

Juan Carlos class type would be best for India with its ability to act as an mini aircraft carrier which can be used to neutralize the string of pearls and the actual full fledge aircraft carriers can do their job of knocking down the Chinese near their mainland. I would prefer a improvised...

Juan Carlos class can carry 30 aircrafts, a modified Vikrant class LHD or LPD or make in India Juan Carlos class can act as the pocket aircraft carrier or hybrid vessel. Some missions may involve SEAD wherein helicopters are too risky to send in, we can use these vessels to launch naval LCA to...

I like the term pocket carrier but the author is overstating the weight of naval LCA.

I like the Juan Carlos class as its a hybrid vessel which can launch few fighter aircraft for sanitizing the area before troops embarking on coast but I think its displacement is very less instead we should go in for a 40k + class of vessel. We have experience in building the Vikrant class which...

I think Indian navy should not go for Juan Carlos class but have a JV for technology assistance to build a Vikrant class LHD/LPD. We have resource constraints and cannot do with bulk vessels doing a particular mission instead doing multiple missions.

We will need small CBG's for finishing the so called string of pearls and probably 5 full fledged CBG's to take on the Chinese in south china sea and indian ocean. Small CBG could be a hybrid LHA/LPD with a small air arm flexible in nature as per mission demand. Locally made naval LCA are small...

We can have 3 to 5 40k tonnage vessels which are hybrid like comes with a short take off ski jump like Vikrant class with a squadron of naval LCA's and as per demand get converted into an helicopter landing dock with LCH's. A bigger vessel should accommodate all these machines with space for a...

Any update on the LHD LPD now that the Egyptians have the Russian mitral, where does Indian RFP stand..
