Troll this is not your P17A thread but Chinese carrier threadTriveni Engineering inks pact with GEAE Tech to manufacture gas turbine base
The LM2500 is the chosen propulsion gas turbine by the Indian Navy for many of its surface combatant vessels. It has power ranging from 25 MW to 35 MW and has been in service with over 40 navies globally, the company said in a statement.www.google.com
the massive gear box is supplied by Elecon in Gujarat
Numb numb, you can't change a STOBAR to a CATOBAR. Lololol. Gosh, stop embrassing yourself and your family. Please at least start banning...All shortcomings will be cleared when they'll be equipped with FA-18 Super Hornet Block III, MH-60R Romeo/ HAL built ALH MK3
Besides that, we have started integrating our Mig 29ks with Astra A2A missiles
HAL’s R&D wing launches upgrade programme for MiG-29K
🔴 The upgrade programme involves integration of indigenous mission computers, laser pods, indigenous air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons.indianexpress.com
A maximum of eight two-seater F-18 fighters are capable of launching from the deck of both Vikrant or Vikramaditya unlike Rafale-M two-seaters. This means while F-18 twin-seater fighters can be launched from carrier deck during war. The F/A-18 Hornet can carry up to four anti-submarine missiles which can prove to be deadly for the noisy Chinese submarines
Did I said that for a once? I have been talking about Indian Navy because p17a frigates are actually pretty good, it will be a force multiplier for least numerous destroyer fleet. It features flush deck, 8 brahmos VLUs, 32 Barak 8 ER(and 24- 32 VL astra)
It has lots of space for upgrade, especially in deck it has more space to add more VLUs, will feature MF-STAR S-band and LTR 25 L band radar (produced by Tata Power SED)
https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.econ...defence-ministry/amp_articleshow/68521044.cms and most importantly it will be build using a method called modular integrated construction (MIC) where Ships are built in the shortest time when a series of specific pre-planned modules are assembled like a Lego set which is unlike the russian way which is least expensive, needs less skilled labour but take longer to build, while MIC is more expensive,need skilled labour and construction will be faster, and this is how western countries and China builds its warships and that's how china pumped out so much warships in this short time
I think it was the American media who claimed its shit and unreliable as per what the Admiral said, it was also American media who claimed it was working fine as per you.The EMALS and AAG are currently fitted on the first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78). In 2021, the systems achieved the U.S. Navy’s target of 8,000 successful aircraft launches and recoveries during the ship’s 18-month Post Delivery Test & Trial (PDT&T) period. EMALS and AAG also performed flawlessly through the full ship shock trials. GA-EMS is also delivering EMALS and AAG for the future USS John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) and USS Enterprise (CVN 80). EMALS and AAG will provide greater flexibility over legacy systems to accommodate the current air wing, as well as future manned and unmanned aircraft.

A Navy admiral says that despite reports to the contrary, the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System and Advanced Arresting Gear systems aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) are working just fine.
Rear Adm. Shane G. Gahagan, program executive officer for tactical aircraft programs (PEO-T) at Naval Air Systems Command, said Monday, April 4 at Sea-Air-Space that the system had achieved 8,500 “cats and traps” on the Ford over the past two years.
The EMALS system has struggled with reliability issues over the years, but Gahagan insisted that it is performing well today.
“It works,” Gahagan said. “I read in the press … that it doesn’t work. It works day in and day out with cats and traps, and now it’s like every other program: How are we going to sustain it for the fight we need?”
He said the EMALS and AAG systems have a “lot of great capability” and that Sailors “love it.”

It seems the deluded PDF Chinese are spreading lies and misinformation on PDF again. It’s time to come back to reality. The reality that China is nowhere near the US in naval aviation capability.
How many launches and recoveries have this new Type 3 completed with EMALS? Meanwhile the Ford has completely upwards of 8,500.

8500 launches are useless if they required frequent maintenance more often than a steam catapult.
Navy’s $13 Billion Carrier Sows Doubt That It Can Defend Itself
The combat system for the Navy’s newest and costliest warship, the $13 billion Gerald R. Ford, “has yet to demonstrate that it can effectively” defend the aircraft carrier from anti-ship missiles and other threats, according to a new assessment by the Pentagon’s testing office.www.bloomberg.com
Lingering Questions
The testing office said the Ford is unlikely to achieve its goal for the number of sorties it can launch over a 24-hour period, saying it’s “based on unrealistic assumptions.”
It also said that during 8,157 takeoffs and recoveries through last year, the carrier’s new electromagnetic catapult system made by General Atomics demonstrated a reliability of 272 launches “between operational mission failure,” or “well below” its required 4,166. Similarly, its system to snag landing aircraft demonstrated a 41-landing reliability rate “well below the requirement of 16,500,” the testing office said.
The Naval Sea Systems Command said that during the Ford’s recent at-sea phase, the carrier “completed all required testing, accomplished work ahead of plan, improved system reliability for new technologies and served as an East Coast platform for conducting pilot carrier qualifications for over 400 newly qualified and re-qualifying pilots.”
More than 8,100 launch and landing operations “highlighted the Ford’s increasing capability and provide growing confidence that a fully trained Ford crew and embarked air wing will achieve the required sorties generation rate,” the command said.
Once out to sea, F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, E-2D Hawkeyes, and MH-60S Nighthawks assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 conducted operations to prove the ship’s and crew’s capabilities. To achieve certification, Ford conducted more than 400 day and night catapult launches and trap recoveries. Prior to getting underway, Ford’s air department was evaluated on its ability to respond to flight deck emergencies and firefighting.
“Ford and Carrier Air Wing 8 were meticulous during the whole certification evolution,” said Senior Chief Aviation Boatswain Mate (Equipment) Carl Higdon, the air department’s leading chief petty officer. “Every Sailor aboard contributed to our success of the mission. I’m really proud to be a part of this team.”
Following flight deck certification, flight operations continued to keep pilots’ carrier qualifications and proficiency current, demonstrating Ford’s contribution to air wing and fleet readiness through capabilities provided by the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG).
“Flight deck certification is a significant milestone in preparation for our first deployment,” said Capt. Paul Lanzilotta, Ford’s Commanding Officer. “We have more tests and evaluations to complete during our next underway periods, and I have no doubt that our Sailors will rise to the challenge and accomplish the mission.”
Ford will head underway again this month for additional milestone events that will prepare the ship for a scheduled deployment later this year.
“We put our first-in-class warship to the test and our crew delivered,” said Lanzilotta. “From the air controllers and flight deck crews, to the catapult and arresting gear teams, our crew showed a level of professionalism that enabled a successful air wing integration with Carrier Air Wing 8. The best part, I think, is seeing our teammates from Carrier Air Wing 8 come aboard and fit right in with our enthusiastic and motivated approach to getting the job done. I look forward to seeing what we can do together in the coming months.”
USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) is the first of the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers and represents the first major design investment in aircraft carriers since the 1960s. Ford’s flight deck certification and carrier qualifications are part of the basic training phase prior to the ship’s first deployment.

The Ford has already conducted flight deck certification for deployment later this year.
Go ahead and tell me how many launches and recoveries the Type 3 has completed?
China develops its own electromagnetic catapult for fighter jets - People's Daily Online
A J-15 fighter jet lands on CNS Liaoning in July.[Photo/Xinhua] Electromagnetic system to booen.people.cn
The device, known as an electromagnetic launch system, or electromagnetic catapult, was designed by Chinese engineers to assist planes taking off from aircraft carriers. The system has been tested with J-15 carrier-borne fighter jets, according to Rear Admiral Yin Zhuo, director of the People's Liberation Army Navy's expert consultation committee.
He said on China Central Television recently that J-15s have made "thousands of takeoffs" using the electromagnetic launch system.
Before you claim its conducted on land. This land system which has successfully tested on ground is virtually the same system install onboard Fujian AC.

Why so worry? You need not wait too long to see Type003 launched a J-15 soon.In other words the Type 3 has not conducted any launch and recoveries while the Ford has conducted 8,500 and recently 400 for flight deck certification for deployment later this year. It’s also worth noting the Kennedy is expected to begin EMALS testing later this year.
