India launches its 1st indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant

you are unique in nonsensical celebrations

You are celebrating budget over-runs
You are celebrating project delays
You are celebrating nothing but a gigantic empty hull which is in the shape of a giant ironing board

Even North Koreans who are eager to launch dramatic project for a huge ego booster will never celebrate their missile when it was 3/8 completed

You set the new standard of cheerleading
he he he he i guess you should go and see some good mental doctor :omghaha:

We celebrate some thing tangible and not celebrating something fictitious like Chinese.

You failed to answer my question so you loose.

Now troll happily like other Chinese members.
 
Will people stop calling this 'indigenous'. There is nothing Indian about this carrier apart from the paint job (even the paint is probably imported from China). India simply cannot make ANY components by themselves, therefore it's not an indigenous carrier. In order to be indigenous, you must make the vast majority of the components indigenously. India had to beg Russia to speed up the carrier repairs, why can't India do it themselves? Because you don't have the technical knowledge to make components let alone full carriers.

Making something inside India imported from foreign suppliers DOES NOT make it indigenous.

Stop deluding yourselves please.

yea right buddy!

atleast we dont import a hull from ukraine n fill it with cheap stuff!

open ur eyes O_O

as for the indigenous part..someone here has wrongly quoted that the steel was imported from Russia!
NO it was from SAIL (Steel Authority of India Limited)

Stop hating n start loving china man!
 
haha!
You are funny china man!
with that broken English of yours and anger like a steaming momo!
every time u read an Indian comment your eyes must be opening wide past their natural limits!! :D
thank us man! :D
 
Rupees down again @61.237 now @61.66 day low

Design from italy
Engines imported from usa
Radar imported from israel
Iron ores to make steel from where, Australia or Africa?
Reinforced steel for deck - Russia
Fighter jets - Russia
Arresters from Russia
Elevators from Russia
...
so 80~90% imports

Another toll on your CAD

The steel came from steel plants of Bhilai and Rourkela and the structural steel was produced by SAIL & DMRL.

You seem too adamant on cheerleading our failures. I guess you can do that on your floating cassino, i bet it can drown ships by firing slot machines and poker chips.:omghaha:

Vikrant is launched only 4 years after it was laid down, we are not ashamed of anything coz the commissioning doesn't seem too far off now.

Steel from india? Read this:

But a number of factors led to construction delays, including lack of adequate and
appropriate steel from Russia and technical issues in the gearbox and other systems, a defense ministry official says.

Greetings From Afghanistan
Let me Congratulate Indian nation and Indian Armed Forces for the hard work of their Engineers and Soldiers and putting Vikrant to sea. I hope One day Afghan Forces will have our own military industry.
 
:lol:, fighters will be detected miles away before even coming into the vicinity.
And do u actually think an AC will act solo?
A carrier group consisting of frigates and destroyers will escort the AC to its point of reach.
Naval planes will be on high alert as well.
So conclusively a plane carrying an air to surface missile will have to face the MiGs and Tejas to actually confront the AC.
And this happens when we are not taking into account the various CIWS guns and missile on the frigates, destroyers and the AC as well, which are ready to blow up such threats which are actually coming head on.

You had to ruin a perfectly fine post with the mention of Tejas!

However, lets consider for a moment that a PAF/PN Jet is indeed spotted around 400km's out and is engaged 200km's out......isn't 250km's the advertised range of the ACCK? Would not the missile be launched even at 250km's? And what do you have in your arsenal that can shoot down something that is moving at MACH 4 in flight and over MACH 5.5 in terminal range (where most of the CIWS are activated)????

To pop your bubble.....ahhhh....delicious

Indian-built aircraft carrier INS
Vikrant launched
12 August 2013 Last updated at
08:04
India has unveiled its first
home-built aircraft carrier from
a shipyard in southern Kerala
state.
The 37,500 tonne INS Vikrant is
expected to go for extensive
trials in 2016 before being
inducted into the navy by 2018,
reports say.
With this, India joins a select
group of countries capable of
building such a vessel.
Other countries capable of
building a similar ship are the US,
the UK, Russia and France.
Monday's launch of INS Vikrant
marks the end of the first phase
of its construction.
The ship will be then re-docked
for outfitting and further
construction.
The ship, which will have a
length of 260m (850ft) and a
breadth of 60m, has been built at
the shipyard in Cochin.
It was designed and
manufactured locally, using high
grade steel made by a state-
owned steel company.
Vice-Admiral RK Dhowan of
India's navy has described the
launch as the "crowning glory" of
the navy's programme to
produce vessels on home soil.
