Cochin Shipyard is building mini bulkers for JSW. Earlier JSW shipping had placed order for two such with Bangladesh.
Now if our shipyards maintain cost and time, they can corner atleast the Indian orders.
Also note that major ports now can only use India made tugs. Also small maintenance...
Add a couple of years to it. Came across a recent recruitment advt. for mechanical and electrical commissioning engineers and assistants from the shipyard side.
Thus, you can gage where things stand. They (shipyard) were waiting for phase 3 release of funds to come out with the release of the...
Were you living under a rock, all this while? Haven't you heard, that our ocean has dried up? Where shall it sail? What's the point of 'delivery'?
We have indented water from Saudi Arabia, once it comes, we shall be good to go.
Well the other poster gave example of weapon integration. Therefore I said as the work required is structural thus, structural strengthening example is more apt.
I never said the work or requirements are similar.
More apt example would have been structural strength work carried out for carrying Brahmos on Su 30mki. Similarly on Mig 29K most of the work needed is the structural.
Even for integrating Brahmos, Russians wanted a lot of money. ADA and related agencies did it within a fraction of that cost...

In reality even you don't require all these. One hard look at the uploaded pic by pmaitra was enough.
Tell your friends in that forum not to strain their eyes on...
It is very old image, probably of the time when Vikrant's keel even wasn't laid.
Check the angle Jetty just north of dry dock, compare it with wikimapia, g-earth and Bhuban. You would know.
@pmaitra.
Naval aviators were attached to MiG-29 IAF squadrons for training in anticipation of MiG-29k ( Between the time of order to delivery). But currently IN's MiG 29K are in beginning stage operation in IN and carrier landing is going on with help from Russian experts. So will take time before they...
They do train together. Some naval aviators are attached to air force squadrons and vice versa. I think Jaguar IM and Harriers have/ had exercise together, but have to conform.
