Turkey would have Aircraft carriers both for fixed wing as well as rotter. They could also be used if TuAF goes for F35 Naval variant.

 

[he-man]

How come?

If at all it will put more pressure on french to not screw up this deal too

Implications??

There was too much political ado about the deal, especially in the light of the latest developments in Ukraine. But it's on hold and not cancelled. Russia has warned that the refusal to implement the contact would adversely affect military-technical cooperation between the two countries.

The delay was caused by modifications asked for by Russia. On Russia’s insistence, the design of the ships has been changed to make them capable of sailing in northern altitudes and ice-covered seas, increase their dimensions to carry large Ka-28 and Ka-52K helicopters, and to install additional weapons as such air defence systems, rapid-fire artillery guns and large-calibre automatic systems to repel attacks from sea. This will allow the ships to go on missions with fewer escort vessels in tow.

For your info, the Mistral landing helicopter carriers will perform four tasks at the same time: receive helicopters, land troops, act as a command post and a floating hospital.

Each ship will carry a group of 16 helicopters. Six of them can be deployed on the flight-deck at the same time. The cargo deck can accommodate more than 40 tanks or 70 motor vehicles.

Russia is buying the helicopter carrier Mistral with French equipment, including combat navigation devices, but will arm it with its own weaponry. The Mistral ships will carry upgraded Russian Ka-32 Alligator attack helicopters.

The Mistrals will most likely be deployed to protect Russian interests in the Arctic and Antarctica - the new emerging battle front-lines.

How come?

A president is set. Who ever does not side with FRANCE would be put to sanctions and arms embargo and what not.
So India must be really careful of all these things.
