who told you that Barak 8 will be added in Vikramaditya later on

 

[SilentKiller]

That's the plan..
in current refit Barak 1 was fitted in. we are moving away from barak 1 and in future when Vikramaditya will be ready for refit, we can either add barak 8/LRSAM or a replacement for Barak 1 for which tendor will be floated soon.

Bullshit, to install Barak 8 You need billions of $ plus lot of re work to install new radar and modifications in the ship which makes the ship off from duty for more than some 2 years

There is no such plans so far

She's received some weapons from the decommissioned P16 frigate Godavari. In 2014, a naval review board decided Godavari would be decommissioned the following year. After 32 years of service, she was decommissioned on 23 December 2015.A senior naval official said she would first be stripped of her weaponry and any salvageable fittings, and then most likely be sunk as a target ship. Two of her four AK630s ended up on Vikramaditya, as did her three 8-cell Barak 1 VLUs and the Elta's EL/M-2221 a fire control radar. IMHO, she could use two more AK630 e.g. over the forward bridge, below the big Podberezovik ET2 radar, to plug the gap in air defences in the forward arc.

FYI - INS Vikramaditya was refit and Barak 1 was added to it in 2 months time frame. Also Barak 8 too can be added quite easily and a lot cheaper that billion $ u are suggesting..During next refit, u will know that even Barak 8 has been integrated.

yeah its very easy to remove all other radar and install MF STAR plus wiring and make large VLS cells in the deck or Super structure


It takes some few penny and we will complete it in som seven days

The Navy operates 45 such aircraft and they fly off aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya.

Normal flight operations were suspended and the Goa airport was closed.

A Court of Inquiry (CoI) will determine the cause of the accident.
