If the enemy knows where your submarine is, its toast. Especially if the enemy is a carrier battlegroup. Submarines by nature are stealthy. Even in peacetime, using submarines for posturing by surfacing them is not the best move. OK, you've shown where you are, but now if we were to start a war...

Nuclear Attack Submarines are only good for sea denial in wartime. Your opponent (China) practices gray warfare. Its better to have something visible against these guys. Not saying that Nuclear Attack Subs are not needed. They still have utility as Naval Intel platforms in peacetime, but they...

So not only are you saying no to third aircraft carrier, you are also saying no to all the other warships and supply ships as well? So you are basically arguing for a much weaker Indian Navy overall, not just one without three carriers, but also one with lesser warships and jets. And then you...

On a more serious note, those of you who can't tell the difference between an aircraft carrier and a friggin' island, read this by Vice Admiral Pradeep Chauhan:- https://maritimeindia.org/reflections-on-indias-vikrant-centric-carrier-battle-group/ The successful completion of the five-day sea...

Yaar isne toh meri English ki bezzattee kar di. Wumao ki English jaisi hai meri English? :rage: Mere waale ka bhi javab de de bhai. Ignore list pe toh nahi dal diya mujhe tune?:scared1:

Hindi main bolun kya be? Those are Japanese alphabet. Hiragana.. Not everybody is a Chinese agent. "But she is a man" likha hai udhar. Famous lines from Stiens Gate anime. "Daga otoko da"

"Indian Navy propaganda". Yeah right. What is a false assumption? The carrier after maintenance also requires re-training of the crew before they become combat effective. This has to happen after every maintenance cycle. Consider the 24-month deployment cycle of the US Navy carriers:- 31% time...

Exactly. Drones can't replace fighter jets. This is some sort of a compromise being considered and frankly, it would be saner to delay construction by 3-4 years instead of reducing size. And if even that is insufficient, create a sister ship of IAC-1 if they really want to compromise. Because a...

-Farmers Arhatiyas. Lets call them for what they are.

Apologies. I misread your comment. But if you understand the importance of keeping our trade routes protected, surely you understand that it can't be done without fighter cover. China is a practitioner of gray warfare. They'll have their carrier strike group regularly breach your EEZ to lower...

Neither can your ships perform half the missions you listed without air cover. Especially if your adversary has carriers. Chinese Strike Groups are bound to be the closest to USN CBGs in terms of capability by the end of this decade. It takes a decade for a carrier to be built in India. Its...

I'll just wait here and watch how much of those funds needed for a carrier are diverted to the submarine fleet. P-75I is stuck in a loop, P-75A is already moving forward regardless, as are the SSBNs. The money you set aside for the submarine is going to get used up not by Navy, but by Army or...

How do you propose the individual ships would fare against a Chinese Carrier Strike Group?

Why stop there? Abolish all ships.

Its a 10% reduction. Not 23.9%. Marwaega kya yaar!!

Does not explain how you fit them there. You need to remove 12 of those Rafale, one E-2C and one medium helo if you want to recover aircraft on that carrier. Additionally, you need to remove 4 more Rafale if you want to use those lifts. Can all these 16 Rafale, one E-2C and one helicopter fit...

You need to remove 12 of those Rafale, one E-2C and one medium helo if you want to recover aircraft on that carrier. Additionally, you need to remove 4 more Rafale if you want to use those lifts. Can all these 16 Rafale, one E-2C and one helicopter fit into the hangar below? And are just two...

Does anyone know about the number of catapults and the composition of air wing of IAC-II? I tried to figure it out based on the sole measurement of IAC-II that we have: displacement of 65,000 tons. And the result I arrived at was IAC-II would have 3 catapults. Compare IAC-II displacement to...
