INS Vikrant Aircraft Carrier (IAC)

[FalconSlayers]

Kitty Hawk Class was conventional yet had Cats.
Even Vikrant(R11) was conventional and had cats. There is absolutely no need for a nuke reactor for a carrier.

We should invest in those tilt rotor planes. They have better range than regular Helicopters.

Nuke carrier makes sure you can keep your feet wet for long periods of time, and Kitty hawk was a big carrier indeed, but you surely need a Nuke carrier for EMALS, and CATOBAR reduces your AC’s range as it needs a lot of space and energy.

Ok kids, that enough laughing at bateater's "heavy fighter witn 4 AAMs oVeRL0ad".. Back to topic.

This is my dream Vikrant.2 sistership. With next to no increase in tonnage required, they can extend the runways significantly. View attachment 104404

Increasing the overall length of the runway will be helpful for a ski jump naval aviation wing, but won’t be able to operate AEW&CS, if IN is ok with it then should go for a sistership.

Right you asked about AWACS.. personally I believe Navy should operate seaplanes/flyingboats. Both as AWACS & submarine hunters.

That what replenishment ships are for. To increase range.

A platform for the same on RTA-70 or RTA-90 can be a possibility, steam catapult is simply a waste of money considering it puts a lot of pressure on airframes reducing it’s serivice lifespan and EMALS is not matured yet. So currently a Ski jump is a better bet even if it restricts some capabilities, miniaturisation is something Indian Navy should fund for it’s weapons then.

Replenishment ships are for that reason, I agree, but in case of a hostile zone, an Aircraft Carrier Battle Group is a fully armed armada, hence a replenishment ship is a sitting duck and a strategic asset, Aircraft Carriers are a big target but are not sitting ducks as porkis call it because they themselves can’t buy operate one. Nuke carriers ensure that it remains combat ready without much assistance, else USA would not have made those, even Charles De Gaulle is a Nuke one.

However, the efficiency of take-off and landing fighters with this layout will decrease, and the range of MIG29 is not high. This is a fatal flaw for the most important air defense interception of aircraft carriers.

2000kms Mig-29K clean on full internal fuel (that this one can actually take off skyjumps with).

 

[lixun]

1400kms Mig-29K on full internal fuel.

And whether the two LM2500 can provide fast enough speed to help MIG29 take off and land is also a question.

Porkis are chuttiya breed.

France made a mistake by making CDG nuke. With nuke they should've made atleast 2-3 more of that class.
One nuke aircraft carrier is not cost effective.

30knots 45kton ship is faster than many destroyers.

Dude, you go eat bats. This is not for you.

The engine of this aircraft carrier is actually the same as the engine of the American destroyer

MiG-29 has nothing to do with LM2500, don’t try to act fool using fancy names of equipments and systems to stay relevant here. You won’t become Cool using randomly picked equipment names.

It is for a nation like USA, not India, nuclear propulsion is good for SSBN and SSGN platforms which can’t be replenished for obvious reasons. Hence a conventional supercarrier with CATOBAR is only thing left for IN, EMALS will require nothing less than a nuclear propulsion system.

They have different power output idiot.
Get off the Bat weed, you are too damn high.

Dude, no. This time he meant the ship's propulsion!

In their attempt to cope the Chingchongs have gone completely Ding-Dong & are making random grabs at every straw.

LM2500 is a gas turbine, as I wrote earlier, the speed of the aircraft carrier has a great influence on the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft.

Ok ok..

Our ship is faster... has more range... can carry 36-40 jets... who can take off with more payload & full internal fuel... giving them (ferry)range of 2000km without droptanks...

Cope chink cope
