Indian Navy News & Discussions

Ah 13 years old post (real incident if true, can be even older than that) , it's from era when China wasn't even operating a single aircraft carrier.

Money can only buy you floating casino, not experience of operating it.
True, but I don't think much has changed in the interim. We shall see.

As for operational experience, that's gained by practice, and the Liaoning and Shandong's constant deployments are a matter of record. No need to trust China, you can see their deployments documented by Japan and the US.

Make all the floating casino jokes you want, the truth is China's capabilities have grown exponentially since then while India languishes in place.

Sure we shall see. You are entitled to your opinion.
But we've seen how both of those floating casinos didn't even cross first line of island when Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan.
 
@Pingle Talwar frigates excels in in anti-surface warfare, ASW & radar departments while Tughril scores points in anti airwarfare department. That would change though with the introduction of Talwar Batch 3 which will feature Shtil VLS but only with 24 missiles as seen on Admiral Grigorovich.
 
“A ship has three components – float, move, and fight. In the float component, we have achieved almost 95 per cent (self-reliance). In the ‘move’ component, we are somewhere at 65 per cent and in the ‘fight’ component, we are at 55 per cent"

“A lot of thrust has been given to the move and fight components, which means all our weapons, weapon systems, sensors, radars, missile launchers, missiles…all these need to be made in India and a lot of work is being done in that direction,” the Navy chief said.

Now since Indian navy has already shown her muscles near red sea its certain that India's responsibility as a naval power is further going to increase...... along with western navies we can expect to see Indian navy too getting more active in such kind of future scenarios...... so its high time we start working on our 3rd AC, speed up SSK/SSN inductions and most importantly fast track our Project 18 Destroyer project..... hope this time these new Destroyers are with minimum 64 to 96 VLS capabilities......
 
Episodes of takeoffs and landings of Indian MiG-29K fighters, Russian-made, from the Indian aircraft carriers INS Vikramaditya R 33 and INS Vikrant R 11. The Vikramaditya aircraft carrier was created on the basis of the deeply modernized Soviet aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Gorshkov", project 1143.4. In the USSR, the ship was launched in 1982, in 2004 it was purchased by India, underwent modernization in Russia, becoming a full-fledged aircraft carrier from an aircraft-carrying cruiser, and in 2013 the ship went to India. The aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, developed jointly by India, Russia and Italy, the development of the ship began in 1999, was launched in 2013 and handed over to the fleet in 2022. This is the first aircraft carrier built in India. The ship took a long time to build, but the country gained its first experience in creating ships of this class.
