Angola to buy ex Spanish aircraft carrier Príncipe de Asturias?

[GR!FF!N]

It's a piece of junk man. Why even bother about it

actually,no carrier is piece of junk.it has ski jump facility.buy some Mig-29K,few refurbishment and voila,a floating runway in the sea to scare hell out of your enemy.though,don't know if Mig-29K can be take off from it,due to smaller runway and 12 degree ski.Viky has 14.3 degree..

but I think they're better off if they buy frigates and submarines instead.but if they have the cash,then no problem to acquire it.remember,even Thailand operates Aircraft Carrier for one and decades now,coincidentally same class.these ships cost around 350 miliion dollars,so second hand means some 150-200 million.not too much costly.

Against congo etc. it will be a massive threat

The only African Nation that can afford to operate AC is South Africa. When i saw the headline, i was like, WHAT???

Not anymore...everything they have are being shelfed or looking for a taker. They were rumors that a MENA country was interested in acquiring it. Egypt or Saudi Arabia?

One man junk, is another's treasure ...Rumors cited KSA or Egypt as possible end users...

Probably they will decorate it like a casino and organize party for any dictators/Shoddy businessmen/Arms dealers/moneyed Arabs who want to pay handsomely to have a party. We see these kinds in movies, Don't we?

you mean Viraat,right???Vikrant didn't yet completed and the previous Vikrant is retired decade ago and waiting to be scrapped,previous plan was to make it a naval museum.

Viraat's time has ended.no way this ship can serve more.but this spanish carrier still has over 2 decade's service left in it.

Have no idea. If they really buy this ship, they will just waste the money.

What would they need an AC for?

The Beaurocrats want to earn some money??
