Where did I said that? But you tried to justify the cost-overruns that even CAG has slamed with the faith you have in IN and their competence. I only showed you that their competence is provenly flawed (just as I showed you that they could had got far more capable aircrafts and systems), when you look at the reality but if you admit that or not is up to you of course.
I am not justifying cost over runs, am just justifying the fact that Navy paid the amount because it knows that the amount payed worth be worth it .. You did not show anything till now except your opinions which i disagreed with .
Of course, because the Russians wanted to make money and they needed us to fund the Mig 29K and several modernizations, which otherwise would had been paid only by Russian navy. That's why they offered us the carrier for free with the condition to buy Russian aircrafts.
Am not talking about Russians , am talking about the IN
From statements of IN officials, from the fact that it won't have more hardpoints, or that the ski-jump take off will limit it's payload further than it already is. Once again, we do have infos and we can judge them or simply ignore them.
Its good either way , we need to induct indigenous platforms more to support our local defense industries . It will only benefit us later . But of course you would want us to waste money on foreign equipment for temporary gains.
As I explained earlier, not the fact that the deal was linked to them, but the fact that we chose additional aircrafts that will be used and IAC 1 makes clear that they will be base of the fleet for these carriers over their operational life. You can of course upgrade certain systems, but you can't counter design flaws, that makes them inferior compared to competitors. Even with AESA radar, the Mig will never be a Rafale or an F18SH.
You won't be seeing the same fighters and Heli's operating of Vikramaditya 20 years from now . The AEW Heli's will most probably be replaced later on as IN gets access to better systems . The IN never shies away from better equipment . If they are taking inferior ones as you suggest there is a good reason behind it.
Which shows your level of denial. They have a carrier available today, have succesfully developed carrier fighter varients, have different naval helicopters for ASW or AEW roles, are developing catapults and catapult capable AEW aircrafts, are training with Brazilian navy for carrier operations, have credible access to the Ukraine forces and industry for experience and techs and what is most worrisome are developinh stealth aircrafts for their carriers.
All we have is, decades of experience with older carriers and in future 2 carriers that will carry roughly the ammount of aircrafts a single Chinese carrier will have.
If you are talking about Laoning, i already suggested that in the previous post , so I would expected you to read it before making judgments about me(looks more like you are good at making judgments on everyone, including your own navy ). Laoning is a training carrier and will be used for just that, for training . The brand new carriers Chinese are building will take more than a decade to be fully operational and it will take far more time to get used to carrier operations and develop plans and doctrines for those carriers . As for all the stuff they are developing let them first develop them and get them in working order . We are also developing a whole lot of things and they're also developing a whole lot of things .
Vikramaditya useless,N-LCA useless,Indian Navy incompetant you sound like one of those Chinese trolls
