French carrier leaves Persian Gulf to Goa to conduct exercises with the Indian Navy

[Gabriel92]

The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, engaged since February 23 in the operations of the international coalition against the Islamic state group completed its mission and left the Gulf yesterday.

The ship, with on its board 12 Rafale and 9 Super Etendard who took part in the airstrikes against the IE in Iraq,took the way to Goa, India, to conduct manoeuvers with the Indian naval aviation.

The maneuvers come as Delhi has announced the acquisition of 36 aircraft Rafale and wants to negotiate with the French government purchasing additional devices.

In eight weeks in the Persian Gulf, the aircrafts on the Charles de Gaulle have "realized daily from 10 to 15 combat sorties" to "support the Iraqi security forces engaged on the ground" against the jihadists,according to the French army staff.

just 21 fighter aircraft, what is the typical complement of de gaulle's air wing?

 

[truthseeker2010]

It can carry 40 aircrafts. (Rafale,Super Etendard,Hawkeyes,and Dauphin helicopters.)

sir i am asking what is normal load, like nimitz has 71 or 72 aircraft (44 F-18's, 4 E2C, 4-5 EA-18, 8 MH-60S, 11 MH-60R) what does french naval air wing looks like?

The normal load is 28-40 aircrafts, as Gabriel said. Charles de Gaulle is a 40,000 tonne aircraft carrier, unlike the Nimitz class, which are around 100,000 tonnes..

Will be quite a sight to see the INS Vikramditya with the Charles De Gaulle alongside and even better to see mixed formations of Rafale-M and MiG-29Ks

I wonder if they engage in any ACM or just stick to simulated anti-ship missions in mixed flights?

but Viki is under refit

I don't think INS Vikramaditya will be in the exercise. Currently She is going under refitment.
