India Outlines New Carrier Ambitions

Will it be kept as reserve and operational ready or will be operated normally? I don't think India actually need more two AC operating at a time. Won't it be costly enough to maintain?
In short term, India wants atleast 3 aircraft carriers( so that 2 ACs are operational at any given time). But you can expect more in long run.

For China, we have our natural aircraft carrier - the Andamans.
just thinking about it dosnt work, India needs much work to do, India should place IRBMS and missile defense system along with deep strike aircraft s and fortify the island, with one brigade combined army, naval & air force stationed all trained in amphibious warfare, and a chain of radars all along the coast and mountains, whare no plane or missile goes un-detected, only then we have some weight, and we know it is happening slowly, we need to catch the hare

you may say this but the govt has other worries, which it cannot agree publicly, its better to wait and watch, aand in near feature no strategic stuff is going to come from america and India is not in a mood to antagonize Russia, India will maintain balance buying stuff from Russia, France and and try to increase the share of american stuff, this is not going to happen in over time, you may not believe that even now the american strategic think tank thinks that Pakistan is an useful ally and they will use it to create mischief, both india and america needs time to come off age and it will happen gradually not in a go, you can see this for your self
that's why tankers are placed far away from the main fleet which has an escort and guard boats

India and US wanted to do some business and they are doing it, simple. There is no such thing as wait and watch when it comes to defence, all these days India has done that and learnt the bitter lessons.

Now it is get the best tech, indigenize it, build better products as per schedule and export.

I mean the on board fuel tanks. One is for the planes and one is to run the carrier..and of course all the bombs.
I think a small reactor would be the least of your worries.

Unlike aircraft carriers, the Andamans are immobile. Therefore it is only airbase, not a carrier - albeit a base that is placed very, very strategically for purposes of sea denial.

In the Indian ocean, I don't think there is any real fear of China, too many odds against them. The navy is reasonable confident of handling any threat here. You are right of course that there needs to be more work there. I'm not sure there needs to be a substantial presence of the air force & the army permanently stationed there. Can be moved at short notice.

Chutita Indian look with your open eyes he is a Chinese not a pakistani,
How dare he insult a Chinese, by calling him a Pakistani!:D

I think the radiation fallout will make the nuke carrier more dangerous.
Radioactive material in the ocean would affect every country in the region. Pakistanis can say goodbye to seafood, and will have to build several cancer hospitals in Karachi.

That is a given but as you said, look where it is w.r.t any trouble with the Chinese navy. I used the word "carrier" only to indicate that we already have something that serves the same purpose.

can any one tell me here is this report about indias ambitions on carriers is a tabloit news or some goverment source has has issued it ?

Andaman is being slowly fortified to its teeth... One big problem is that Andaman doesn't have a big mountain or very high ground... but IN is little satisfied with it....

Already radars,SAMs and Brahmos is been stationed in Andaman... as of now MKIs can reach A&N any time from Chennai so IAF not interested in placing them in A&N. also we don't need any deep strike fighters there since we don't have any hostile neighbors over there. but yes IN can come up with a new Marine corps..

and Placing IRBMs in A&N will not be published or confirmed so talking about it not needed

If my senses are right,, then IN go for Rafale M.


In worst case... IN is most pragmatic organization. IN will go with Desi bird. IN is pushing hard for N-LCA.. IN will push hard for Desi 5th gen Naval fighetr for IAC-II


In worst case IN will go for shopping...
