Going extremely well, says Indian Navy chief on sea trials of indigenous aircraft carrier
Sidharth MP

4-5 minutes


The mega project of constructing India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier to be commissioned in 2022 as INS Vikrant has resulted in immense learning and capacity building for Indian industry and state-run entities, said admiral Karambir Singh, India’s Navy chief.

This is a new Chinese propaganda doing the rounds, I debunked it yesterday in a private convo.


Source of new propaganda:- https://inf.news/en/military/f723c2...JtltdwotOaU-1635883181-0-gqNtZGzNApCjcnBszQfR

Rebuttal:-
Typical Chinese mental masturbation:-
  • Bulbous bow's main advantage is lower wave drag at certain design speeds. This it achieves through destructive interference.
  • Lower wave drag => Better fuel economy
  • Bulbous bow can reduce pitching motion of the ship to a certain extent, but its nowhere near as pronounced an effect as this guy is insinuating. (What this moron is calling "kowtow" is called pitching in technical terms. Don't know where he invented this word from. In English "kowtow" means something else entirely)
  • Now this guy claims that INS Vikrant doesn't have a bulbous bow because:-
  • So the question now arises, why does INS Vikrant not have a bulbous bow. Answer:-
    • Its a design choice, nothing odd about it.
    • Most of the Nimitz class supercarriers of US Navy don't have bulbous bows. Did the world end for the US supercarrier? Did its sailors become sea sick? Did its helicopters crash into the carrier? Utter drivel.
    • If INS Vikrant really ends up needing a bulbous bow, then it will simply get one retrofitted to it. Just like the American Arleigh Burke class destroyers got it retrofitted later on.
  • The "excessive pitching motion" of INS Vikrant is just a figment of Chinese imagination. These monkeys have a habit of over-analyzing videos and pictures.

This hutiya is a masochist. He slanders India's defence stuff but gets humiliated every damn time. First he said shit stuff about Vikrant and how Vikrant is not "indigenous" because the foreign stuff was there. Defence Decode was like "you are using my Infographic dude.", he himself is not indigenous 😂. Then he said how is Vikrant more "shiny" then other carriers, probably due to new technology. Then rupprecht told him, it is same in other carriers in the beginning. Then he mocked India on the Mirage crash, Defence Matrix gave him one. Then next day, a J-10 crashed. Then he said shit about P-15B and Barak-8. Well, again got mocked. Now he has reverted back to Vikrant again.

The funny thing is that the title of the original picture in this tweet is:

Mind telling me how that small bulge can act as a bulbous bow?

Or you could simply shut up after reading how the Norfolk Naval Shipyard stated on record that the addition of a bulbous bow increased the length of the last two ships of the class thereby making them too large for the drydock.
