    INS Vishal (IAC- II) Aircraft Carrier - Flattop or Ski Jump

    I don't think IN is so dumb to use Russian help and equipment's in IAC2 plus to use same lifts, which need rafale to tilted upwards to carry them. IN may consider US or French help and their equipments to build IAC2

    INS Vishal (IAC- II) Aircraft Carrier - Flattop or Ski Jump

    Yes, they will, except catapults. IAC2 will be more advanced than IAC1, and its lifts fully support Rafales. US will fully support sale of steam catapults and EMALS, but this increases construction times. Maybe IN consider Indian EMALS, for IAC3 onwards

    ''What if'' based on Kargil war. my "why so" consideration based on Army control over pakistan - these are my points of view, and may be I'm wrong. I don't think so. Pak brought 1000 pgms from USA, produces their own pgms[less capable] and buying from China. How much they used on counter...

    INS Vishal (IAC- II) Aircraft Carrier - Flattop or Ski Jump

    Not so good, very bad. For directing jets in combat, need a powerful radar[400~650+ km range], more work stations and a powerful big aircraft. There is difference b/w aew & awacs. IAF phalcons are awacs & netra are aew. Main function of these systems is to track low flying aircrafts. If you...

Juan Carlos I can also used like a lite AC, if IN able to...
