Yeah you are right but IN is only considering medium size fighters for its future ACs. Russians have briefed once to IN. IN is getting bigger and bigger. Lets hope we purchase at least 2 squadrons of NPakFAIAC 2 expected at 65 000t which is even bigger than the Russian Admiral Kuznetsov and it carries a dozen Flanker size fighters and they plan with new carriers and naval Pak Fa as well. The only question is, when they will develop them, because I think IN will get the carrier earlier than the Russians, by the lack of funds.
MOD sanctioned money for 4 amphibious warships but i am not sure whether its a LHD or LPDs.But you need several of such vessels and several helicopters to cover the same area, that a single LHD with numbers of helicopters would. That's why the Japanese use LHD/helicopter carriers for the ASW role as well:
I would really like if india goes for warships like Mistral or Juan Carlos I or south korean dokdo class.
2011 might see many projects like p17a, p75i,4 amphibious warships, p28a and even IAC II might get approved.
Hyūga class helicopter destroyer
Its a destoyer ?// or amphibious warship ??/
