Should India Be Building Another Carrier?

[Sergi]

India should buy 1 ACC from UK/Russia/USA now So it and IAC-1 can join IN in 2017/18

IAC-2 design should be converted to Nuclear power ACC with the aim of induction in 2022.

There isn't a decent battle rifle for this century, our heavy tank program is not in full production, we dont have adequate IFV's, we lack ATGM's, long range rocket arty, atry guns are all time low, our biggest independent aircraft program is delayed.


We should focus now more than ever to get a well stocked mechanised infantry, well balanced airforce and a fully capable armored corp. another a/c carrier is the last thing to worry about!

Buddy you are mixing up things here, most of the points you raise are caused by procurement failures of IA, why should IN limit itself because another force makes mistakes? IN has to look at their own priorities and a bigger carrier for the future is necessary for sure!

due to this this news and other news of purchase of high tech weapons from our armed forces, i have arrived at a conclusion

that is GOI is, somehow, sure that Indian economy will grow at good pace in coming 2 decades

otherwise they wont decide to deploy 3 A/Cs

ON TOPIC> so INS Vishal is confirmed, good

we definitely need a 60,000 plus tons carrier

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

aircraft carriers won't be of any use after 20 years
stealth frigates and long range stealth bombers are the future
for now 3 acc's are enough

U can have stealth bombers, missiles, destroyers, but only a Carrier, A super carrier, can make an enemy psychologically afraid !!
They are a must !!

Yes, India should go for 5-6 CBGs for dominating our sphere of influence as we wants in near future.
