“INS Vikramaditya will serve Navy for 30 years”

[Manindra]

I think I have answered your this question on some other thread anyway I will be deployed in Arabian sea. Our nuclear Subs will be deployed in Bay of Bengal instead.

Incorrect, check my above post.

Navy boosting Eastern flank - The New Indian Express

Read your own link carefully dude it says same as what I am saying. Here is the statement..
"Once India gets the
Russian-built 45,000-tonne INS Vikramadiya carrier, the Navy will deploy INS Viraat too on the eastern seaboard."
It meant once vikky is home, Virat will join eastern fleet.

Eastern fleet deals in Bay of Bengal & Indian Ocean & INS Kadamba comes under western naval command.

This article didn't comment about commissioning Vikramaditya in WNC but here are many conflicting reports on this.

Exactly and Vikramaditya will be based at Ins Kadamba while Viraat will go to eastern command. Read your own link carefully!! You are confused!

INS Vikrant, first Indian-made aircraft carrier, enters water next week

The first aircraft carrier to be made within India, the INS Vikrant, will be launched on August 12 at the Kochi shipyard. With its debut, India will become just the fifth country in the world to build aircraft carriers after US, Russia, Britain and France.

“About 83 % of the fabrication work and 75 per cent of the construction work is over when the ship goes into water,” said Admiral Robin Dhowan, the vice-chief of the navy.

Work on the 40,000-tonne warship began in 2009; it has been blueprinted by the Indian Navy’s design organization and is being built by Cochin Shipyard. The ship will be launched by Elizabeth Antony, wife of Defence Minister AK Antony, who will be the chief guest at the event.

The INS Vikrant is 260 metres long to accommodate two take-off runways for planes to take off, and a landing strip that can service the indigenous Light Combat Aircraft, MiG-29K combat jets and a range of helicopters.

After its launch, the carrier will be re-docked at Kochi shipyard for rest of the work, including completion of the flight deck.

Extensive sea trials will begin in 2016 and the carrier is expected to be delivered to the navy in 2018.

Apart of from joining a select group of nations that build aircraft carriers, the major achievement for India has been the ability to fabricate weapons-grade steel which means that more warships can be built indigenously.

bracing for induction without a close-in-weapon system (CIWS) or missile defence. “Yes, there are certain issues there,” the AK-630 CIWS is slated for integration aboard the Vikramaditya in a year or so.)

Rather minimal. I would expect transfer of Barak from VIraat when she retires (@nomi007 : there's your Israeli contribution)

Indo-Israeli Barak-8 Sam will be deployed 2-3 years later..

Is there a good source for that? Or is it just conjecture?

in the picture is it performing hight speed turn??

Yes, that was during the initial sea trial, when she burned up the heat shields around the boilers...

dunno..every source is seeming to have posted the same news more or less....here one for you..

Even more alarmingly, the Vikramaditya will not even have a surface-to-air missile defence system on board for long range protection. The protection suite of the warship was planned to be the Long Range Surface to Air Missile (LRSAM) system — a joint collaboration between the Navy, Israel and DRDO.

However, this project too has faced huge delays and the system can only be fitted on board the Vikramaditya by 2016 at the earliest.

In all the years of this project, I've never read or heard about the protection suite of the warship being planned to include the Long Range Surface to Air Missile (LRSAM) system — a joint collaboration between the Navy, Israel and DRDO. To the extent ANY SAMs were discussed, it was always in the context Barak versus Kashtan, nothing more substantial. There is very little space for installation of self-defence weaponry. Perhaps the Barak-8 missile and VLU could be fitted (behind the stack, which is where I expect Barak to be mounted), but it would also require a very different radar (re)fit (to include Elta MF-STAR for missile guidance) and I don't see that happening (not seen that on any schematics, models etc before).
