What are you saying? Why will USA give India nuclear carriers? Also, why do you thin India can't build large number of carriers without USA help simply by indigenous manufacturing? India can manufacture aircraft carriers for much lower costs if it scales up the work. India doesn't need USA...

Also, cost of 80000 crore is bewildering and insane. INS Vikrant cost only 20000 crores. How can another aircraft carrier cost 4 times?

Wrong... Nuclear goes this way: Fission -> Coolant ->steam -> Turbine -> Transmission -> Gearset |-->Dynamo ->Electricity CODAG goes this way: Combustion ->Piston ->Transmission -> Gearset Secondary generator combustion -> Piston...

The steam by heavy oil burning boiler was older times. Now, it is replaced with diesel engines. So, the steam generation is not so straightforward

It is the other way around. The nuclear power is what generates the electricity needed for the EMALS. The steam is generated even by boiler engines. Today's modern diesel engines may not produce steam but they can also be rigged to divert the energy wasted into producing steam. The steam does...

CATOBAR is just steam based EMALS. EMALS is electric motor based CATOBAR. The performance of CATOBAR is good enough for India. Also, it is a simple technology. easy to maintain, repair and build. I would not be unhappy at CATOBAR based IAC-2

It is India today article. Defencenews is just a copy paste portal

Fake news. No country has ever spent 25billion dollars on a carrier till today including USA. This increase of cost by 10 times over IAC-1 shows serious fake news activity. The 57 planes don't take 1lakh crore nor does a carrier take 60k crore to make, that too in India. Even the Ford class...

Tell me more about 2035. I am wondering how are you so confident about the future dates without even having made any proper analysis of any parameters, historical evidences, fundamental analysis of today's world and economy, culture and self respect etc? Just focus till 2025.

IAC-2 will have 50 aircrafts as per its design and size. How do you know about 2035 and 2040? Do you have a reason behind your prediction? Also, why do you think USA is a partner? I am pissed off that when oil is running out, these people are acting funnily by inducting diesel aircraft...

I am speaking of Nimitz class carriers. It cost 5 billion each.

Why would a nuclear carrier coat so much when USA is building 1lakh ton carriers at 5 billion USD? Moreover, the diesel engine is imported isn't it? So, diesel carriers must cost more

I would say that it is very disappointing. It must have been nuclear powered to have more efficient operating ability and reliance on Indian fuel. I wonder why nuclear carrier was rejected.

Was this on the basis of solid source or that news clip which was filled with inconsistency that popped up recently? If it was that news clip, then it is most likely fake news. It stated that India needed 550MW reactor. Even USA doesn't have such big reactor in its carriers. Nimitz Class which...

There is only 1 doctrine in defence - wipe out anything and everything that is hostile and non negotiable. If the doctrine is anything else, then it is time to change it.

If there is a second carrier, non nuclear option will be extremely short sighted and foolish. Propulsion of submarine is definitely different from that of a carrier but carrier is much easier version than the submarine. Submarines have space constraint while carrier has enough space. This makes...

When he said that India was incapable of making it due to lack of technology, then I pitched in. If he had said that India didn't have funds, I would have kept quiet. I have different notion about economics due to my deeper understanding of it. I won't argue about rupee economics and rupee...

The present scenario is a bit secretive. So, it is best to not speculate on what will happen. I am only saying that there is enough expertise and technology to make a carrier within 2025 if all out efforts are made without any restrictions on rupee based funds (not forex). What the situation is...

I agree with the development part. But, the point here is we already have the technology you specified. Can be uprated means that technology already exists. All that is needed is orders to manufacture. As I said, the manufacture part is all left. If you are expecting people to manufacture...

What will the docks do once Vikrant is released? Will the workers go unemployed? It is important yo construct another carrier to keep the working force active. It is not a matter of choice. Design - design is something I have been hearing for more than 2 years now. I don't know what kind of...
