INS Vikrant unlikely to be battle-ready before 2020

[Lightningbolt]

I doubt this carrier will be even ready by 2020. According to the Americans this thing is only 30% complete.

It won't be ready before 2025.
Mark my words.

now about this thread

its hillarious to see pakistanies making fun of indian achivements and jumping and chest thumping with pride over chinese achievemnts as they them selfs are not able to make a ship more than 2000 tonnes and cant design a decent a motor cycle or a deisel engine themselfs

pakistanies making fun of indian AC are a perfect case of child who after watching his rich naigbours kid playing with a new expensive toy and burning in jealousi says my unckle has a bigger and better and more expenive toy

It's well documented that this is only 30% complete. It won't be used by the Indian navy until after 2025 at the earliest. Probably 2030 is more like it.

Got any thing to substantiate your claims?

Arjun, LCA and India's history of arms development.

Arjun, LCA and India's history of arms development.

Most of those programs had to face sanctions and funding problems.With this one the construction of the ship is somewhat 75% complete,the engines,gear boxes and underwater equipment have been fitted on the ship.And even the Island itself is fabricated and is waiting to be attached to the hull

And remember one thing,The hull was floated out in December 2011,I went to city of Cochin in may 2012,It was at the harbor,I found that they were doing a lot of welding and thing on the interior and there was no flight deck r Ski jump,They have assembled the ski jump and and flight deck within 1 year,isn't it?

So it wont take them 5 years to complete the project,They are confident that they can handover the ship to Navy within 3 years.
