No more aircraft carriers; two are enough. Nuclear attack submarines is the key requirement.
Where are the two aircraft carriers? One based out of Karwar wanders out for a few days after 6 months of massage to get some Vitamin D - then the boilers goes kaput due to Vitamin D overdose - and it comes back for another massage.

Pay peanuts and you get monkeys.

much of Vikrant’s delays are also attributable to Russia even today

luckily the propulsion and much of the critical systems are Western sourced and or Indian.

but the utterly myopic (and frankly criminal decision) to not only select a paper airplane (MiG-29K) as the carrier fighter for your 2 carriers but then to design the entire aviation complex around this fighter for your domestic carrier meaning when the inevitable happens (russian junk goes junk) means that even when Vikrant is in service she will only be a moderate step up on the Vikky which takes over from Virat as amongst the most useless carriers in global service.

+ MRCBF isn’t happening before anyone says this is the silver bullet

IN has really embarrassed itself by accepting this thing into service without its main sensor suite and not even a single fighter trail
It has mohanlal the moustached actor on board , so why worry

F 18 SH will be bought. Uncle Sam will insist on this.
