[Opinionated] The sole Indian Carrier sailed only two weeks in two years?

[Thorough Pro]

That was a tactical maneuver to fool the enemy that the ship is sinking, as soon as the enemy ship turns away it backflip, don't be fooled by Indians 5000 year old vedic tricks

The incompetent Indian navy knows they might do something stupid when sailing out in the water.

LOL
And a random thought or bollywood fantasy makes the whole IDF go bonkers

Theres no IDF

 

[Globenim]

As long as it gets you on the list of active aircraft carriers on wikipedia, it counts.

This is so true its almost sad.

Lol. So Indians can brag on the internet? They always talk about their experience in carrier operations but it is almost certain that they have done far less conventional launches and traps with their one STOBAR carrier than the two Chinese ones. Their previous experience before the Vikramaditya was mainly with the Harrier. Even Thailand had experience with the Harrier. It is not the same as a STOBAR or CATOBAR used on fleet carriers.

You cannot find satellite pictures of the Indian carrier at sea unlike the Chinese carriers which are recorded constantly at sea.

To be fair. India doesnt have a billion dollar army of American shills paid to "watch" China and paint it as a threat on every anglophone social media platform.

There are two Chinese carriers operating simultaneously in two separate seas (again.)

Chinese aircraft carriers in separate South China Sea, Pacific drills

Shandong is conducting ‘combat-oriented exercises’ in the contested waterway, while the Liaoning is in the western Pacific.

But we still have not seen the Indian carrier Vikramaditya at sea in months if not the whole year.

China probably launched and trapped more aircraft in one or two weeks operating two carriers than India has in all the years since it gotten the Vikramaditya.

Indians call Chinese carriers casino carriers.

But casinos don't lose. Never bet against the house.

 

[GiantPanda]

Having a carrier in port for 355 days out of every year is "experience" for Indians?

While China is practicing with a whole battle group constantly at sea!

Well that happens when you build your AC around Mig 29Ks and then try to fit in Rafales into it by force. To incorporate rafales India will need to make significant changes costing a fortune. Indian Navy as usual acting like a spoiled brat trying to force a a triangle through a circle shapped hole.

The planes are one thing. But they cannot even get their boat out of harbor for the planes to do anything!

Their "operational" carrier Vikramaditya had been portside at Karwar naval base month after month after month after month after month after month ...

But they do have some experience in dealing with safety situations on the carrier.

In 2016, two Indians died from toxic gas emitted by the sewage system on the Vikramaditya -- while in port at Karwar.

In 2019 the Vikramaditya had a fire -- while in port at Karwar.

They are so wonderfully incompetent. lol

This explains why we almost never see satellite photos of the Vikramaditya at sea unlike the two Chinese aircraft carriers which are constantly at sea.

we spent $1b on refurbishing Vikky, another $1b on Mig29K air wing, 1 honeytrap scandal, what did our tax payer money get? a 'training carrier' that is barely able to sail 2 weeks in last 2 yrs, a 29K unable to take sustained shocks of carrier landings and zero accountability.

This post shows desperation of Chinese fanboys on PDF as they had to use the tweet made by some kid named Dharmic aeroplate who is an absolute nobody (and doesn't even have 3000 followers) as their source.

That is your desperate attempt to turn attention away from the fact that your "operational" carrier is almost never at sea and had been portside at Karwar for month after month after month after month after month ...

BTW, since I began this thread in November both the Liaoning and Shandong had been deployed twice. While the Vikramaditya remained in Karwar -- again.

Russian jets with low availability rate probably forcing them to reduce peace time ops. It wouldnt look good if they start loosing jets.
I have never seen a naval boat with so many accidents whilst its parked most of time.

You are just hot air Indian. Your undoing started in Afghanistan. From this point forward you are going to suffer humiliation.

Typical false news.
INS Vikramaditya carried out a bilateral exercise with France in April 2021 and another naval exercise in August.
You are frustrated after I exposed you for using a random nobody on twitter as a source.

You just lied. Your carrier was NOT at either of the exercises you mentioned.

The Vikramaditya was missing during both the "Varuna" exercise with France in April and the "Malabar" exercise in August because it was stuck in port.

Your carrier had been port-bound in Karwar month after month after month after month ...

You cannot get away with lying when things are so easily looked up, Indian

The 19th edition of the “Varuna” naval exercises between India and France got off to a start with large-scale drills on April 25 in the western Arabian Sea.... Officials said INS Vikramaditya, the Indian Navy’s sole aircraft carrier, will not join the exercise since it is currently under maintenance.
