INS Viraat have only few Harriers to save the cost IN have deployed the low cost solution and it is an old carrier, and The Vikramaditya will have the latest tech, thanks for your concern.
It is not about the age of the old carrier that I've found most of you people's comments absurd.
It is about the very basic simple knowledge that you people are terribly lacking - including the indian "senior" and "think tank"!
And mind you when you are gloating at the experience and "war-time" victory in operating aircraft carriers, you are not number one in Asia. Japan is number 1.
1/2 of your british made harriers have crashed. The harriers also have a terrible problem of melting the deck during their vertical landing. Also dont boast of your aircraft carriers' expertise at war against a Pakistan which has nothing solid at sea yet. They fought you on land and in the air.
I remember when the Russians let you guys steer the leased submarine home, your navy did not have a clue!
