    I am asking a question to all respected members. It is an idea. What would you think if I say that to further strengthen India-US defence relations, USA should sell India a decommissioned, non-nuclear aircraft carrier for $1-2 billion? Would it be a viable offer to India during PM's visit?

    I think there is an error in P17A frigate weapon specification. This ship was supposed to have the same arnaments as that of P15B Destroyers, i.e., 32 Barak-8 missiles and 16 Brahmos missiles. But wiki page shows only 8 Brahmos missiles for P17A.

    Slight offtopic but want all to know. The condition of our so called rulers Britain is lowering phenomenally day by day. Now news is: All the warships of Royal Navy will be left without anti-ship missiles for min. 2 years. Harpoons are retiring in 2018. Good old naval guns are their only...

    I was right and I knew it. I posted some months ago that after Arihant (S2), there are 3 subs aka Aridhaman (S3), S4 and S4*. I also posted that S3, S4 and S4* will be of same size, but bigger and more advanced than S2. But some members did not agree and denied it altogether. Now it is...

    Yeah I meant 50-55 aircrafts in total. 40 N-fighters, around 10 combination of Utility and ASW choppers, 2 Refuellers and 4 E-2D Advanced Hawkeyes AWACS, I guess.

    @Gessler, after so much drama on 36 AirForce version of Rafales, if you still think MOD will allow Navy version of Rafale, then I have no words. Rafale-M will be definitely costlier than basic Rafale. And IAC-II will carry 50-55 fighters. Will a mixture of N-AMCA & Rafale-M reach to that...

    @Indx TechStyle, I do not know what will come after Vishal, but I do know that P23000E Shtorm news was a farce. Read those article carefully and you will know that. It was mentioned that the new carrier will be 300m long and 65k tn displacement. That is the same displacement as of Vishal! So...

    @Gessler, agreed with your whole post except one thing. All fixed wing fighters on Vishal will be Indian origin. Rotary wing choppers may be foreign. If you want source, go to IAC-II Vishal thread of this forum. I posted an article there on Saturday. Read it please.

    @garg_bharat, atleast I can tell what will be the airgroup. No Rafale-M and SH. US Ford AC cost $14 billion. What do you think the est. price of Vishal will be?

    Why are you so obsessed with cost always? Vikrant is the first AC built in India. Anything, you build for first time, is bound to see price increase. It is same for all nations. Not to forget the delay in Vikrant, that added more. Est. cost of Vishal will be $5-$6billion if the project finishes...

    SSNs have to keep up with the nuc AC. That's why it needs a more powerful reactor which will help it to move fast. Can India make its maiden SSN with 8,000tn displacement, still a powerful reactor to sail fast forward?
