    INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier

    This is a daydream.And also a foolish one.300 rafales will break our bank. Secondly,rafales will not be able to counter j20s.We need pakfa or f-35s for that.Or if by some miracle DRDO actually delivers a functional AMCA before 2040.

    INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier

    Why is this forum so politicized?Politics should be kept out of armed forces which is national security issue.

    INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier

    Of course ,we wish that happens.But that is still in the future,if we can afford it,we will use it.But submarine force should be priority over extra carrier.We need SSBNs that can hit beijing in a second strike and we need SSNs that can lead/cover our 2 existing(vikrant after entreing service)...

    INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier

    J31 is in development,if j20 is operational albeit tentatively do you really think j31and a naval derivative won't be operational within 10 years?Why do you think china is building 3-6 carriers?Just to put j16s on them?My native place is Kolkata. The defence minister himself said order was cut...

    INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier

    If there is a third carrier it will be only after 2030.Hopefully by then our economy can make it affordable.But if given a choice between a third carrier and 6 more SSNs,i will always choose SSNs.People talking about a 3rd carrier now is just daydream,its neither affordable nor needed before we...

    :facepalm: I've been around on defence forums for 14 years now,lol.Now you make me a pakistani for pointing out real flaws.Your attitude is' everything is perfect and great,and if you dare to say otherwise you are a paki'.Grow up .

    INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier

    I am not speaking negatively, i am speaking realistically.You people live in the clouds. Be logical,total budget is spent between army,airforce and navy.Now army gets maybe half or more-the bulk of budget.Rest of budget is is divided between airforce and navy.Now we find defence minister saying...

    INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier

    I don't think navy can afford 3 carrier air wings.If 3rd wing is to be rafale/5th gen navy cant afford it.

    INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier

    We need to drop plans for the 3rd nuclear carrier and focus on 2 good ones. We don't have funds for it.If the airforce can barely scrape enough to buy 36 rafales there's no way navy can afford a large number of ships,subs,a whole carrier plus a mini air force of 50 plus rafales/5th gen for...
