    contribute to the forum mate than being the jury. Not all the world aspires to be super powers nor do they have the resources. Only certain states vie for power among themselves in regions thats are not contiguous to their territories those powers require such capability

    i cant get u clearly pls be precise. We don't test a nuclear reactor meant for sub on a destroyer, obviously this would be a learning curve, the french want to pursue nuclear propulsion to guard their strategic autonomy. The russians had equipped their heavy cruisers and destroyers with nuclear...

    Soviets, americans, french pursued nuclear propulsion for submarines first, surface ships like destroyers next and atlast on their carriers. For this very reason uss enterprise is said to be a conservative design with 8 nuclear reactors, and only one was built to avoid huge maintenance costs and...

    It will be easier to adopt our reactor developed for our submarines on a destroyer than an aircraft carrier. The nuclear industry in india is poised for a huge leap forward. The logical step would be to equip our next generation large cruisers, destroyers, frigates lead ships in small numbers...

    Our aircraft is purely a power projection platform, and improvement from stobar to catobar would surely enhance its capability and should be our next logical step. If our navy was so doctrine oriented what would the ins jalaswa serve according to the doctrine. Ours is mostly a learn, frame...

    The aircraft carrier programs of other nations have to been looked at in light of our own need to develop aircraft carriers. While v have envisaged our carrier, to have 40,000 std, ? Full load being capable of carrying upto 30 combat aircraft, and 10 helis with a top speed of 28 knots using 4 ge...

    The russian system figures a way to use the explosion from gun-powder to launch aircrafts from carriers. Its also catobar configuration. But the technology, efficiency compares to steam catapults. There explosive launch systems were tried even during ww2 to launch aircraft by the allies but...
