When they first hiked the price and India played hardball, the Russians said that if India no longer wants the carrier, they'll take it!!Don't give them any ideas now

it take years to build capabilities, with the amount of money spend and work done on Viki, they want to have it, but it belong to us.I bet the Russians were wishing if both the carriers were theirs:cool2:
we need to build BMD ship with LRTR in the middle and PDV in the front and AAD at the back.We should negotiate with them to purchase that Slava class cruiser in Ukraine.
What are all the acronyms?? Except for AADwe need to build BMD ship with LRTR in the middle and PDV in the front and AAD at the back.

BMD= Ballistic missile defencewe need to build BMD ship with LRTR in the middle and PDV in the front and AAD at the back.
Thanks:thumb: So you are talking of ships in the displacement range of a cruiser. CoolBMD= Ballistic missile defence
LRTR= Long range tracking radar
PDV=Prithvi interceptor missile codenamed PDV, going to replace PAD (Prithvi Air defence)
PDV hopefully will not have big fins like the one which is in PAD. It will be something like Brahmos missile lube launch system.I think AAD will suffice on Ships. P-15A/B should hopefully be able to carry 32 AAD along with 32 Barak-II and 32 Barak-I. The PDV may be too big a missile for ships smaller than 10,000 tonne cruiser.
Sir, will merge in new thread once open..Mods Please move these posts in new thread.
As a matter of fact, they suggested it once.Don't give them any ideas now
isn't Kuznetsov heavier than vikraaditya. We should have gone for the Kuznetsov ?Kuznetsov and Vikramaditya
Well, we got the ship for free... we are paying for the refit & refurbisn't Kuznetsov heavier than vikraaditya. We should have gone for the Kuznetsov ?
I think the Russians call the INS Vikramaditya the gift that just keeps on giving.Well, we got the ship for free... we are paying for the refit & refurb
Whereas China paid good money and bought just the hull of the Admiral Kuznetsov class multirole aircraft carrier Riga/Varyag in an auction from Ukraine
The other Admiral Kuznetsov class multirole aircraft carrier Leonid Brezhnev is not for sale and is expected to serve RN till 2030
Trivia: Since no one wanted to sell China an AC, China bought it via a private bidder under the pretext that they want to use the hull as a pontoon to house a casino. It was inducted into the PLAN on September 25, 2012 as China's very first AC.
Now that is a remarkably witty comment.I think the Russians call the INS Vikramaditya the gift that just keeps on giving.
Kuznetsov (left) and Vikramaditya (right):Kunal, thats the Kuz not Vikad. The second tower is missing.
