It has to be practical, bhramos post show it clearly, it will help in loading aircrafts, ammo and supplies to our AC.

Well, I appreciate the picture of the model. Yet, its still rather poor quality. The hull looks good but the island is clearly not what the final product will look like.

Can India develop nuclear powered aircraft carriers for the Indian Navy? IAC-3 should have two nuclear powered reactors just like american aircraft carriers. It is possible since we have already developed reactors for submarines.

THANK YOU



P.S. I wish we had the same access to picture as we do with the Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers. (CVF)

Sure all it takes is time and money...

BTW France used Submarine Rectors in the Charles de Gaulle and it had a number of issues with the marriage.

China has Dong Feng-21D carrier killer missile against US Navy Carrier battle groups. The Pakistanis may get the technical knowhow for these missiles and may use Chinese satellites. Does Indian Navy have any strategy to counter these missile if they are used against IAC-1 in case of future Conflict?

Indigenous aircraft carrier to be launched in August: Antony

PANAJI: Indian Navy's indigenously-built aircraft carrier would be launched on August 12 this year, while INS Vikramaditya (purchased from Russia) will arrive before the end of 2013, Union defence minister A K Antony said here on Saturday.

"INS Vikramaditya is going to be a reality, as promised the ship would be delivered before the end of this year," Antony told reporters after the commissioning of fighter aircraft MiG29K into Navy at INS Hansa here.

"While on one side Vikramaditya is coming this year, on August 12 we are going to launch indigenous aircraft carrier at Cochin," he said, without elaborating further.

Asserting that the country was giving a thrust to modernisation of defence forces, Antony said, "Navy modernisation is one area where we are going fast-paced now.

"Almost all the navies of important countries want close cooperation with the Indian Navy," he said, adding that "Indian Navy is well-prepared, most modern and (one of) the most capable navies of the world.

"(Over) Last many years, there has been well-planned induction wherein we are replacing old platforms and adding new ones," he said.

That is some great news

August 12 will be the launch date for IAC-1. I hope they complete & commission it on time so that IAC-2 can be launched and we can have 3 Carrier battle groups or CBGs more than Royal Navy and French Navy.

When will it sail with the MiGs is the question.

[arnabmit]

Would this be the 1st launch (without propulsion, only hull) or 2nd launch (with propulsion) on 12th August?
