I dont see why u call the equipment from the 70s bcause u cant see much.

Some equipment are refurbished:

But some are modern and sophisticated:

 

[pmaitra]

So I just realized they call their Kamov-27s Makyeti (макеты).

Is that Ñ‹ added for pluralization? Armand2REP, can you confirm?

It is for a plural noun that you drop the last letter.

It is a great look inside ex-Gorshkov. I am a little disturbed by the quality of equipment going on board considering India is paying premium prices.

The above gives you a good idea of where the Island is located, that is bang in the middle of the runway,
and where the Lifts are also located, One of the runway and the other on the starboard side.

The lifts are rated 20 tons and 30 tons. The question is which is lifted is rated to lift up the jets? If it is the one in the middle of the runway, then god help us.
