Indian Navy Aircraft Carriers and Ships

People need to differentiate between STOBAR and CATOBAR fighters. STOBAR fighters- MIG-29K,N-LCA,SU-33 etc CAN NOT be operated off CATOBAR carriers without massive modifications and CATOBAR fighters-Rafale-M,F-35C,F/A-18E/F CAN NOT operted off STOBAR carriers. As such we have to differentiate between the carriers the IN will get (INS Vikramditya and IAC-1) AND THE CATOBAR (IAC-2-) as such there will most likely be no crossover in fixed wing air groups right down to AWACS which are likely to be E-2Ds.

+EMALS is a serious likelihood for IAC-2-
Admiral has already said-
In April 2011, Admiral Nirmal Kumar Verma stated that construction of the second indigenous carrier was some years away as there were a number of higher spending priorities for the navy. The design of the second carrier features significant changes which would increase displacement to over 65,000 tons and utilise steam catapults. In 2010, Admiral Verma had stated "It will be much bigger and capable of operating fighters, AEW (airborne early-warning) aircraft, tankers etc,".

....and sailors usually need good amount of calories to do work....getting what i mean?

Any good academic study on it or just ''keerey paouna'' is the purpose ?

The technology is changing the concept of work hard to work smart, when operating these naval machines these days BTW.

True

and CATOBAR fighters-Rafale-M,F-35C,F/A-18E/F CAN NOT operted off STOBAR carriers.

Not necessarily! That depends on thrust and weight of the fighters during take offs and landings, or if the deck lenght is enough for the fighter.

^^^Well more recently we've heard differently and EMALS is a serious contender for sure.
That would be great, if it's true......
Can you provide any link??

True

Right!!!
Like E 2D was offered to be made compatible with STOBAR carriers for IN , by Northrop Grumman:agree:

E-2Ds were offered for IAC 2, not for our STOBAR carries and an aircraft of this size should need a long take off run, especially when it's not assisted with catapults.
