India’s INS Vikramaditya CBG steals limelight from China's Liaoning CBG | idrw.org

Last Week Images of China's aircraft carrier and its accompanying warships were released by the PLAN (People's Liberation Army Navy) to celebrate the battle group's first successful deployment. and this week India's second aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya coming from russia to India was welcomed by Western Naval fleet and images of which were released by Indian Navy .
But It was INS Vikramaditya Carrier Battle Group which impressed Western defence experts the most , David Cenciotti a defence expert in this blog said that chinese were able to put three destroyers, three frigates, three submarines and an amphibious assault ship.and eight jet fighters overflying CBG during the return leg of the cruise to Qingdao home port on China's east coast. but he also pointed out that no logistics ships were visible in Liaoning's recent photos which highlights chinese navies Limited logistical support .
where else INS Vikramaditya CBG accompanied by INS Trikand, a Talwar class frigate, INS Delhi, a Delhi class destroyer, and INS Deepak, the fleet tanker, has just entered Indian Navy's Area of Operation in northwestern Arabian Sea where it met the rest of the Western Fleet, which includes India's other aircraft carrier INS Viraat, two Delhi class destroyers, three Trishul class stealth frigates, a Godavari class frigate and a couple of offshore vessels.
Unlike the Chinese one, the Indian armada comprises some support units that made the very long journey possible: a sign that, unlike China, India is already capable to project naval power on long distances and deployment of Carrier Battle Group away from Indian shore looks more stable operational capability

Just when you thought IRDW couldn't get any worse, they just pulled the bunny out of the hat.

Had they decided to do a comparison of the different fleets and put the additional commentary from experts within it, it might have been a good article. But instead, the article had to put on a pedestal the impression of "Western defence Experts" on our fleet.

I just don't understand why we have to run after western approval? Its good that they think ours is good, but that should be the end of story.

India has had a 50 year experience with carrier operations. As such it is natural that the Navy will be well versed with fleet requirements better than the PLAN. Nothing surprising.

Photo of India's new Aircraft Carrier Battle Group. Better than China's?​

Few days ago we posted the first shot of China's first Carrier Battle Group "built" around Liaoning aircraft carrier and characterized by many weaknesses.

On Jan. 5, the Indian Navy released some shots of its new flagship, INS Vikramaditya, a 40,000-ton 284 metres long and 60 mt high aircraft carrier.

On its way from Sevmash shipyard in North Russia, to Karwar on India's western coast, the new aircraft carrier, accompanied by INS Trikand, a Talwar class frigate, INS Delhi, a Delhi class destroyer, and INS Deepak, the fleet tanker, has just entered Indian Navy's Area of Operation in northwestern Arabian Sea where it met the rest of the Western Fleet, which includes the smaller aircraft carrier INS Viraat, two Delhi class destroyers, three Trishul class stealth frigates, a Godavari class frigate and a couple of offshore vessels.

In other words, few days after Beijing released the images of their first CBG, the Indian Navy has staged an impressive show of force consisting of several warships (and few Sea Harriers that appear in some photos) escorting the new carrier to its new homeport. Unlike the Chinese one, the Indian armada comprises some support units that made the very long journey possible: a sign that, unlike China, India is already capable to project naval power on long distances?

Vikramaditya is a Kiew-class aircraft carrier dating back to 1987, when it was a part of the Soviet Navy under the name of Baku. In 1996, it was decommisioned and the Indian Navy purchased the vessel in 2004 at an aggregate price of 2,3 billion USD.

The ship is expected to accomodate 30 Mig-29Ks; Russian Fulcrums have conducted extensive testing on the refurbished aircraft carrier before the ship was trasferred to India.

The new carrier will soon be joined by India's first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, expected to be commissioned at Kochi in 2018-2019.

Noteworthy, Indian aircraft carriers will be supported and defended from enemy submarines by eight P-8I Poseidon long-range maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft.

Hope few don't know this , INS Vikramaditya belongs to Kiev Class also known as 1143, and this is the first class of fixed-wing aircraft carriers built in the Soviet Union.

First laid down in 1970 the Kiev class was partially based on a design for a full-deck carrier proposed in Project Orel. Originally the Soviet Navy wanted a supercarrier similar to the American Kitty Hawk class. However, the smaller Kiev class design was chosen because it was considered to be more cost effective.

Unlike American or British carriers, the Kiev class is a combination of a cruiser and a carrier. In the Soviet Navy this class of ships was specifically designated as a heavy aviation cruiser rather than just an aircraft carrier. Although the ships were designed with an island superstructure to starboard, with a 2/3 length angled flight deck, the foredeck was taken up with the heavy missile armament. The intended mission of the Kiev class was support for strategic missile submarines, other surface ships and naval aviation; it was capable of engaging in anti-aircraft, anti-submarine and surface warfare.



China have two ships from the same Kiev Class bought from Russia , One is using Serving as Military theme Park and the Hotel while the other is with a Chinese Company as a Museum Piece.. The fourth ship, Admiral Gorshkov, was sold to the Indian Navy in 2004, and is currently in active service.

The original name of INS VIkramaditya is not Just Gorshkov , Its Kiev Class 1143.4 ....

But as part of the refit, the foredeck was converted into a flight-deck with ramp.
