    ..........Could the AMCA-N be ideal for the USN and the USMC? Apart from Turkey, south Korea and Japan we too are making one with GE engines to power them.

    INS Vikrant Aircraft Carrier (IAC)

    If I may, my point exactly for the Mig 29 K to be the sole fighter for the IN, by the time the IN starts inducting the new order of fighters, the carriers would have been a little older and there is a fixed lifespan for carriers, there are even upgrades which are to be done quickly, so another...

    Rafale M will do wonders only they would have issues with vikramaditya and we need both types. Mig 29 k will do till vishal (class carrier series) begins I think, due to maintenance ease. Also they are cleaner, in terms of upgrades (Mirage 2000 during kargil), easier to order and to an extent...

    This should be about INS Vikrant and maybe another.

    If you connect these points you might see a pattern. I hope the intel is true for future show of solidarity. It's my personal rejection for the selected as I feel they are an overly done burden for naval forces.

    After taking all the dificulties in modification into consideration for Dokdo I prefer it to Juan Carlos as the hot bed these days is south China sea. There was the Spanish - American war and most of the tech was built, some where; to counter the Spaniah Navy. We opperate one U.S. amphid; a show...

    Could the Dokdo be streched to 220 meters just for fligh operations? I am asking you this since we have familiarity with U.S. amphids and R.O.K. Navy too does operate some U.S. equipment.

    Yes, we have an american LPD in service and Pulkit's point on having another Vikrant class is what I was saying before. All ships can be converted with a nuclear poweplant. So as a series we need a 2nd 40000+ ton aircraft carrier before vishal class which can be made in tandem as well.

    Juan Carlos is a heavy class, as much as Viraat. We need San-Antonio since we have an American LPD in service or Dokdo which is lighter, and can accomadate Tejas for CAS.

    Viraat...........vishal can be a class of the 65000+ tons aircraft carriers. :india:

    The 2nd ship of the IAC-1 configuration should be named Viraat.

    You haven't seen liability issues for imports, netcentric is great but we are under attack from a hostile turk supporting country. If you want a conventional aircraft NLCA is better for the country. At the same time Allied nations are also involved, so there isn't a problem of a disconnect or a...

    Then all the efforts of the NLCA team are in vain if you believe the competency of competition. It would be great if one waits for MK-2 Navy to complete tests and evaluations for comparision, and this by the way is a fighter atleast closest to 'tailor made' for Indian aircraft carriers.

    The Airwing could wait for the series (MK-2) 2022-2025, sticking with the current fleet is a great choice as it is easy on the pocket as well.

    INS Vikrant Aircraft Carrier (IAC)

    I think the choice of aircraft is a bit large for the IAC-1 series, the Tejas MK-2 is much better atleast in the specifications stated, we should wait for the tests and evaluations coming up soon.

    INS Vikrant Aircraft Carrier (IAC)

    Construction to be completed by mid 2018. Full deployment in 2020. Is there a possibility for Viraat 2 before or in tandem with Vishal class construction? Let's hope for the best.
