Catobar and nuclear propulsion are big steps. I think another Vikrant makes a lot of sense. Also the the same hull can be used for LHD's 20-30 K displacement.

And lack of repeated tests could also be an indicator of confidence. Really?? That's as credible as the PSed images of J-20 and J-21.:rofl:. I am pretty sure the lack of test is because it has already failed and there is no point continuing the DF-21 ding dong anymore other than MRBM. Brahmos...

Yes..most know DF-21 ding dong is just hype. Neihter India, Russia or US is going to invest in Anti ship ballistic missile. It makes sense to invest in longer range cruise (hypersonic) or quasi ballistic missile like shaurya that do not leave earths atmosphere.

The DF-21 is more hype than reality. Striking stationary target is not the same as detecting a ship in the blue ocean and then being able to track it while re-entering earths atmosphere. That said CSL is interested in making one more Vikrant class and that would be ideal.

Where are the pics? Did any media outlet cover it?

CAP and short range strike. For strikes at 1000 km or more Mig-29K's.

Those are for Ak-630 not 76 mm. I don't think Vikrant will carry any 76 mm SRGM.

From what? The Pakistani navy has nothing bit a bunch of 40 year old floating garbage and chinese junk.

Let them learn to operate one first. It will be another decade before they figure it out.

IAC-II steel cutting should begin soon.

LoL china has to learn how to take a ship or sub 100 miles away from shore first.

There are no allies only aligned interests. I wouldn't trust any of the so called western allies.
