India launches its 1st indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant

[third eye]

Is this a carrier? Looks like a trash tank floating

Can you share a pic of a ' trash tank floating' - what ever it is- that looks like this ?

P.S. Dont paste a pic of yourself.

Don't want to spoil some members' party here about India being the 5th nation to build (indigenous) carriers.
Before the world war 2, Japan was (and is) a nation that is to be counted as a carrier building nation.

The list
US
Britain
Japan
Russia
France
Italy

India comes after these with our Vikrant.

Cheers anyways

15K/40K or 3/8 complete! It is near completion
So if it is 50% complete, it will be very near completion
If it is 60% complete, it will be very very near completion and so on, right?

I guess it is because of the coming election and the independence day that indian politicians want to show off their "indigenous' islandless flat top structure and to beef up the cheers!

Right now there is no "made in China" aircraft carrier.

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.

Oh dear Well come!!!

Actually we were missing Chinese dragon and hong woo but we know China has a lots of telnet. If not Hon Woo than his brother.

Keep entertaining.

By the way What is the Status of your Chinese (Russian) aircraft career. Is the paint Job over?

is the Russian engine installation work going well? Pl keep us updated. We are very anxious to know about Chinese indigenous (Russian) aircraft career.

And yes Your English is soooooooo goooood!!!!

Who so ever read it will not be able to stop himself praising Chinese Education system.

Many Chinese like you enlightens PDF with their extra ordinary knowledge with great writing skills.

Pl keep doing that. By reading the awesome writing by members like you, we get some insight of Chinese society and their Education System.

Calling a empty hull near completion is a bit of wishful thinking isn't it?

As far as information goes, it doesn't even have propulsion. So it will be relying on tugboats.

Resorting to china vs India, India will always come off 2nd best. Because, the liaoning is an operable carrier with retrofitted by the chinese, vikrant is an empty hull that is already 4 years behind schedule.
