I would rather believe our goverment instead of Indian media? the main 'gut' Obama stuff? Liaoning is fully operational on the high sea, you can't deny it.

You are a man of convience. You do not mind in lying bluntly.

This is not a news of Indian media What is the source of your information except your wishful thinking.

Aircraft carrier can operate a combination of Russian MiG-29K, Ka31 and the indigenous light combat aircraft. It will be powered by two LM2500 gas turbines. The design incorporates highly automated systems for machinery operation, ship navigation and survivability.

1,600 personnel including ship company, airgroup and troops.

The flight deck will feature two take-off runways and a landing strip equipped with three arrester wires. The STOBAR(short take-off but arrested recovery) system on an angled flight deck is used to launch and recover an aircraft from the deck of an aircraft carrier

The airgroup will be a mix of combat aircraft including the MiG-29K, Sea Harrier and naval light aircraft as well as the HAL Dhruv and Ka-31 helicopters. The Ka-31 provides airborne early warning coverage.

I'm not sure about the HAL Dhruv but the IN's new NMRHs will surely be embarked (S-70B) as well as N-LUHs.

Actually it might be more likely that the naval Dhruv will be used on the carrier, rather than N-LUH, because the main purpose would be utility roles and since the limitations of the folding rotor blades are less of a problem on a carrier than on smaller vessels. Besides, I doubt that any of the CBG vessels would carry such small helicopters anyway, I guess the N-LUH are mainly meant for corvettes or smaller vessels.
