In Pics: Indian Navy's Theatre-level Readiness Operational Exercises (TROPEX) 2015

[Stephen Cohen]

If one closely observes, can see Viraat also in distance between two tail fins of Mig 29 fins.

You sure that is Viraat ; the INCLINED portion is not very clear

But Viraat was present in the exercise

Shri Parrikar also witnessed a full scale air power demonstration from INS Vikramaditya and INS Viraat with MiG 29 Ks, Sea Harriers, Seakings, UH3H, ALHs and Chetaks participating.

Errrr ... why not ?

Are you expecting Parrikar to pick up a gun and go to battle ?

 

[Major Shaitan Singh]

The neat INS Vikramaditya where it belongs best - exercising the fleet.

Never heard about PPE.

Never heard about PPE.

.......... you mean the Minister was going to waddle into some Toxic waste or acid so he had to protect his feet ? ..... or you mean something might fall on his feet and injure him ?

In which case I wonder why the Admiral was not wearing a helmet

I feel minimum PPE is not an unreasonable requirement... at sea on a battleship, it is advisable to do the minimum to avoid loosing an appendage.

Here is Kim Kardashian visiting troops on an AC,

The difference is, that this is a naval exercise and not a troop entertainment photo-op.
