Since the IAF has bought the Rafale and does joint exercises with IN for maritime, the Navy will by the Rafale. I would have the F-18 though because the French don't like to fight and have a shoot and scoot way of fighting for their personel and Civilian French Resistance as whe have witnessed...

I hope the next carrier is ordered soon.

Simply if the navy wants Boeing aircraft they should only consider the older and smaller airframe legacy Hornet that fits on both the carrier lifts with an elevated nose stand assembly with cockpit and avionics upgraded to satisfactory standards and wait for the Twin engined Tejas to get a...

What do you think about the lifts on Vikrant, they are very small, some say 10 meters wide only. Which other fighter can fly from the carrier except the Tejas Navy? Migs are there but there is no chance for Rafales or Super Hornets, we can now try for the F - 18 legacy version with full cockpit...

Hint Hint - that is why those two are pushing into Axis areas.

I believe we can slowly trust the Chinese and work together overtly; also theirs' is an allied country during both the world wars and the 62 border dispute was a 'bahana'. They fought because there were Indian soldiers in large numbers that joined the Nazis and a large number Chinese soldiers...

Excuse me, what does Nibbiars mean?

Can we buy 4 older american LHDs after refit? And can we now push the carrier fleet program faster? And do we need bigger carriers? Why not convert the existing designs into nuclear powered 3 emals catobar?

What are the chances the India government announcing another IAC-1 class carrier?

So proud to recieve these two guys after all their trials and tests. Congratulations to the Navy and Airforce for these two great boys, INS Vikrant and the HTT-40.

The article seems to be a sort of wannabe civilian population contro type. I still don't believe these types. So I will digress.

This statement was appropriate in 2001 AD it's over two decades and conventional research and development is and was and is in full swing for reactor development. I believe the reactor designs are ready for A/C and subs. As we have seen with SSBN design; we can easily fit reactors and install...

Why stretch when we can convert both the carriers to catobar. I say make the same size and change the propulsion to nuclear; I am sure BARC has a reactor design ready to be installed in pairs or trikes. With a catobar layout, with 3 or 2 emal cats.

The carrier has to be economically viable so I hope they make another easy logistical Vikrant. Simply, CSL has to order another set from the same major vendors and prices will remain similar. I don't find any complaints or internal problems from the government for processing another order soon.

The drones are designed according to the Naval aviation requirements. So all the carriers, LHDs, submarines, destroyers and other fleet ships can carry specifically designed UAVs.

Two MIG-29K squadrons are good enough if we are going to deploy the carrier close to shore. INMO we need 3 fighter squadrons per carrier as one can be shore based and totally attached to the CBG when deployed for back up. A Blue water Navy (Oceanic) like the USN needs that much back up so they...

As stated sir, 26 fighters and 10 helicopters.
