it's a discarded soviet vessel

its has the 2nd largest tonnage(67,000 tons) after american carriers.
it was supposed to be the latest soviet carrier.
it can carry over 50 fighters.
it will have the j-15 which has performance equal to the super hornet.
it has the latest chinese technolgy installed.
its an aircraft carrier.

its the first one of many for china.

Except the hull, everything is Chinese.

China can build its own Varyag, but our next carrier isn't going to be Varyag, but something more advanced.

very little verifiable details are available on the internal systems so I will gladly give you the benefit of the doubt.

As for more carriers, given the economic and security interests of china, it's expected. (just as India is working on more ACs, albeit slower, given resource constraints.)

Thanks for stating the obvious.

looks like chinese launched it,,,,,,,,,but we r operating these since decades...........nothing new in it

The carriers currently operated by the IN lacks the modern defense systems, sensors, and the aircraft which will be carried on the ex Varyag.

Still no aircraft's on board ??


I think Russia already start to test MIG29k on Vikramaditaya

The J-15s have been tested on a land based ski jump already. The arrestors are being installed on the ex Varyag, so tests should not be far off.
