While the US wants to replicate level of closeness that Russia has historically enjoyed with Indian Navy,
what it can’t ignore is that Indian navy already operates large number of Mig29K fighter jets which will
also serve on IAC2 on which US and India are working together .

Indications are that Navy will go forward with IAC2 which will be equipped with latest General atomics developed Electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS) which also includes incorporation of Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) which is an aircraft recovery system .

Indian Naval team have been provided live demonstration of EMAILS and AAG systems on board US Navy Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) Class Supercarriers which is first aircraft carrier to be equipped with the latest systems, Navy is wary that it has launched and recovered only US made aircrafts till date.

Naval Sources have informed that Navy has asked US officials to validate new systems for NLCA and Mig29K so that new system is compatible with current Naval aircrafts of Indian Navy.While Source believes that there is nothing to suggest that Russian supplied Mig29K or Indian developed NLCA will absolutely be not workable or be noncompatible with new American systems, but Navy wants pairing to be validated just to ensure that current Naval Air assets will work with

EMALS and AAG systems when incorporated on IAC2. It will be interesting to see what methodology Americans will use to validate system compatibility of its systems with Russian aircraft, Since access to landbased EMAL systems at Naval Air Systems Command in Lakehurst or Gerald R. Ford is highly unlikely to happen .

I don't think Stobar aircrafts can work with Catobar carrier
We dont have enough Mig29Ks to equip Vikrant and Vikramaditya , let alone Vishal.
As far as I know, NLCA when in comes around year 2022, will still be inferior to the Mig29K
and putting our least capable Fighter onboard our most capable warship is an insult to Vishal and amounts to underutilization of capability.

Once Completed, Vishal will carry 36 Rafale M or similar Number of F35C

if indeed EMALS & AAG are coming from USA then count F-35Cs & latest tilt rotar version of E2D/Eon IAC-2 aswell :coffee:
