INS Vishal: Best of Russia and United States

Nothing just amusing for me, everything is in future sentence. LCA MK 2, UCAV and many others.

This was also in future tense a year back.

If IN plan to have another one similar to that of IAC1, then no doubt the automatic choice would be CSL, and with their learning, the delivery would be much faster than current one.......

looks logical but IAC 1 class might not actually meet projected strategic policy of IN.
Plans to operate heavier fighters along with sea borne AWACS require flat deck and higher energy consumption makes it logical to go with N propulsion.
Now this will require significant re-design of IAC1 (assuming weight is kept more or less close to 40,000 T limit), which again will take time and vendor qualification and re-tooling.
& if we are thinking of having future indigenous AC in 65-70,000 T class, it is better to devote energy and time on Vishal class carrier and upgrade Cochin facilities.
IMHO that would be a much better investment in future.
 
Another pie in the sky。

Come back in 10 years then time spent discussing this ship might be worth something。

The China bought the Carrier in 1998, so why only by 2012 it able to go for sea trials?

Amazing China also need 15 years to revamp (not build) a carrier? :rofl:

Which truth, that till this time the Pakistan not able to develop PHWR reactor, leave alone PWR?

India’s second indigenous aircraft carrier (IAC-2) aka INS Vishal might still be in the preliminary design stage, but it is pretty evident now that Two Cold war Bitter Rivals will join hands with India in the development of Next Aircraft carrier for Indian Navy which will help it dominate seas beyond its area of influence.

Russia’s Neva Design Bureau is closely working with Indian Navy’s Naval Design Bureau (NDB) which has been tasked to design and develop Biggest Warship India has ever developed in Country.

INS Vishal with a displacement of around 65,000 tons will be powered by Nuclear propulsions which will be able to operate nearly 50 fixed and Rotor aircraft from its Decks and will be equipped with Modern Next Generation Air Defense Systems and Advance Surveillance and monitoring radars.

INS Vishal will be a Unique ship since it will see for the first time active participation of Russian and US Defence companies coming together to work on developing Single weapons platform for India.

Russian Design team most likely will be roped in Ships Design aspects and will also provide consultation in the development of many key technologies for Ships Nuclear propulsions and safety mechanism, While the United States will be roped in integration of Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) along with aircraft launch and landing mechanism for which the US along with India will need Russian help to certify Russian-supplied Mig-29K fighters for operations from its decks .

The United States will also provide consultation and also supply key sensors and help in integration of many weapons systems in the Super Structure of the warships.

while the US and Russian team will not have any direct interaction with each other it will still require a great deal of detail planning in design stage its selfs to avoid complication in the various system coming in from different countries which will require some level of informal exchanges before actual works begin.

Both countries have different Naval design philosophies in the development of warships and some keynotes have to be exchanged for a proper understanding of tools and machinery for which Indian Naval planners have to work together.

How is this indigenous if it's design and developed by the Russians?

No we shll take assistance from russia in some key area of design like we took consultency from russia in nuclear power plant design for INS Arihant.

Nothing wrong in replying with in the rules of the forum....... The concept of a forum works on difference of opinion, and discussion..... But it is important that one follow the forum rules

Btw I did not find anything wrong in the post you quoted here, The guy made a simple observation which says, INS Vikrant was something which was in paper tilll its launch...... Nothing wrong, I cant say the same about the other post you tagged....
