It will. Not immediately , but as per current/past trends we will see a New Carrier along with its entire CBG every decade. Expect Vishal, project 18 , SSNs, project 17B, etc between 2030 to 2040. And our 5 Trillion$ economy in 2030 will support that ,and more.

So all them cannot happen simultaneously? Between 2010-2019 the Indian Navy didn induct 1 Carrier, 3 Destroyers, 10 Frigates and 5 Submarines? Between 2020-2029 the Indian Navy is not inducting1 Carrier, 4 Destroyers, 11 Frigates and atleast 6 Submarines? And all these were funded/paid for...

Can anyone tell me who is Wolfpack? He posts a lot of updates..

QE Class is an inferior STOVL design. Vishal is expected to be a superior CATOBAR, probably with EMALS. Even Vikrant costs the same(or probably more) than a single QE ship, even with the difference in price inflation in both the countries.

"for this decade" If the Carrier is approved now, detailed design will begin, then order will be placed a couple of years after, then construction will begin in the mid/later 2020s and it will be commissioned by mid 2030s.

2010-2020 We got a whole Carrier Battle Group with : INS Vikramaditya Shivalik Class Frigates Talwar Class Frigates Kolkata Class Destroyers Kamorta Class Corvettes INS Chakra/2 Kalvari class And an SSBN INS Arihant too 2021-2030 we would expect another INS Vikrant Project 17A Talwar Follow ons...

This is one of those bogus baseless article which comes up once in a while. Vishal's plan seems to be going on full fledged and India has a long term plan for atleast 3 Carriers which is already delayed, especially when China has plans to build multiple Carriers. India already has its...

Whether it be Frigates or Carriers, they always have to leak money to foreign countries, dont they? ""five countries have been identified for the purpose — the U.S., Russia, France, the U.K. and Italy — all of which currently operate carriers, the official added."" Italy ? Really? a country that...

65,000 is just the approx proposed tonnage. Dont be surprised if the Carrier goes over 70,000 tons when the construction ends.

Re: INS VISHAL : first CATOBAR aircraft carrier Well said. Though we arent certain that the 4 LHDs will be capable of carrying Fixed wing Aircrafts. If they do, and they should, then it all works out fine!

Re: INS VISHAL : first CATOBAR aircraft carrier Not before 2017-18 till INS Vikrant is commissioned. And then expect more delays/challenges during construction as this is something new.

Re: INS VISHAL : first CATOBAR aircraft carrier If we go for a Nuclear Powered Carrier, that "10-12 years away" thing, will become a "15-20 years" reality. Best to stick to conventional for Vishal. EMALS itself, will delay it a bit, as it is a new technology. If you ask me, they should have...

Uhh, I think some reports had suggested that they were gonna freeze the design earlier this year, in February.:confused:

@Abhijeet Dey @Decklander We will have completed INS Vikrant, a 40,000 tons conventional carrier, in 9 years at the earliest. Correct me if i am wrong, INS Vishal's kneel wont be laid before INS Vikrant is commissioned (if it would commence construction earlier,that would be great!!) . So...

If we opt for a Nuclear Powered Carrier now, we wont See Vishal ready before 2030..
