MOO said:It's performance comes near India's INS Vikramaditya aircraft carrier.
r u kidding me? Gorshkov/Vikramaditya was in Kiev class(2nd generation russian carrier) desgined as a helicopter criuser(limited space for fixed wing aircrafts) in the first place! then they modified and sold to india as a AC....
Gorshkov is about 45,000-45,500 tons full load
instead varyag is in Kreml class(third generation russian carrier) is in the same class as Admiral Kuznetsov which is the only AC in service with russian navy...
varyag is about 66,600-67,500 tons full load
