indigenous aircraft carrier Vikrant delivered to Navy

I don't know what that image you posted is it doesn't look like an F-15. This is the F-15(see below) besides we don't use gas operated canon on our fighters, ours are electric including the massive canon on the A-10.

If this is not an F15, what kind of plane is it? Is the other picture not like F16?

Imagine Su30 taking off on the deck and few indian airmen taking a crap on the edge

It’s must be a lovely sight. Full spectrum of activities right on the deck. Extra manpower always at hand.

You are a smart bloke. You got it perfectly correct. Strategic thinker you are. Keep up the good work.

It’s lovely to see some people getting on the toilet bandwagon as India inducts an Air Craft carrier.
Must be hurting bad.

Must be hurting bad.

The most advanced technology that they can call their own is open air toilet. The other technologies are either begged from the US or borrowed from the Chinese.

Indigenous production of such marvel of seas is not easy in any means

The Indians make an improved version of the AL-31 FP engine in India

Please give some realistic examples not some pipe dreams.

New Delhi: The Indian Navy Thursday received the delivery of India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier— Vikrant — joining a list of select few countries to have this capability. The carrier is built with a 76 per cent indigenisation component.

The aircraft carrier was built and delivered to the Indian Navy by Cochin Shipyards Limited (CSL) — a public sector shipyard, under the Ministry of Shipping — and designed by the Indian Navy’s Directorate of Naval Design (DND). It has been named Vikrant after its predecessor — built in the UK — which had played a pivotal role in the 1971 war.

The Vikrant will soon be commissioned into the Indian Navy as Indian Naval Ship (INS) Vikrant and will significantly enhance the Indian Navy’s presence in the Indian Ocean Region, specifically as it aims to develop into a blue-water Navy, said the Navy Thursday.

A blue-water navy is one which can operate globally, across vast deep waters of different oceans.

The Navy added that the carrier is 262 meters long and has a full displacement of 45,000 tonnes. The aircraft carrier has a top speed of 28 knots, and is powered by gas turbines with a total capacity of 88 Mega Watts.

The Vikrant has been built through three phases of cooperation between the Ministry of Defence and the CSL. The first phase was completed by 2007, the second in December 2014, and the last in October 2019. It has been constructed at a cost of approximately Rs. 20,000 crores.

‘Equipment, machinery from major industrial houses’​

With the delivery of Vikrant, India is now part of a list of select few nations — such as the United States and China — which have the capacity to build indigenous aircraft carriers.

The Vikrant will be capable of operating an air wing consisting of 30 aircraft. These can include MIG-29K fighter jets, the Kamov-31, MH-60R multi-role helicopters, in addition to indigenously manufactured Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH) and Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) (Navy), said the Indian Navy.

According to the Navy, the 76 per cent indigenisation component is composed of equipment and machinery from major industrial houses like Bharat Electronics Limited, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Keltron, Kirloskar, Larsen & Toubro, and Wartsila India, amongst others. A hundred MSMEs have also contributed parts, according to the Navy. The indigenisation efforts have also led to the development of ancillary industries, besides the creation of employment opportunities, according to the Navy.

Multiple design iterations, including the use of 3D virtual reality models and advanced engineering software, were used by the Directorate of Naval Design in developing the carrier. CSL also upgraded their shipbuilding infrastructure to build the Vikrant.

Vikrant has been built with 76% indigenisation, at a cost of about Rs 20,000 cr, & will significantly enhance the Navy’s presence in the Indian Ocean Region. It will be commissioned next month.

Even Indian editor Shekhar Gupta admits that the Aircraft Carrier is not 100% indigenous. The Engine is American !!!

The Indian Aircraft Carrier is not 100% indigenous since the Engine is American claims ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta

How the carrier is fully locally made or indigenous? Starts from the engine, the carrier is powered by 4X General Electric (GE) engines from the U.S, the radar and com pods are from Israel, the sensor is from France, CMS and CIWS are from Russia, IPMS system is Italian, lifts from Britain, the structure is based on a Russian aircraft carrier and soon upcoming fighter on this -- Russian Mig29 and US F18 (most probably). So, if this is "indigenous" in India then god knows what is imported. The simple definition of indigenous when it comes to hardware is, that you build and manufacture every single component on your own without any direct technical assistance from a third party. Here, all the core components and applications are actually designed, developed, and manufactured by foreign countries. The Indian side has done just plug-n-play work (little tweaks with some of the hardware by involving foreign entities and manufacturers directly). India took 18 years to build (2004 - 2022) and floated almost 11 years ago for the first time. Certainly, It's too vague to call it A-Z Made-in-India or even 50% domestically built the way Indian media, Government, and military present this.

So far only Americans, Russians, and recently Chinese have made fully indigenous carriers for instance 003 by China.

Not only it is not indigenous and it took India 20 years to complete the aircraft carrier. LOL ! Also India is planning on building aircraft carrier #3 and if it takes another 20 years to complete then it will become OBSOLETE before it even hit the water !!! LOL India in the mean time is bragging that by building this air craft carrier the country has joined the elite club. LOL. All India did was an assembly job.
