    RFP issued for India navy amphibious vessels (LHD or LPD type)

    I was talking about the Mistral and Juan Carlos 1 class LHDs. 4 is a right number for catapults for IAC 2. The benefit of course is one more aircraft with the three on the other catapults. Quicker launches are the only benefit an aircraft carrier is made for. They wouldnt bother to make the type...

    Sir, get this in order of sales to IN. First deny info about the acquisition then add some more required tech to the deal. I wouldn't think that but obvious choice was JSF to acquire late in the tenure.
