Vikramditya & the IAC Vikrant Threat To Pakistan Waters

Were the P3s present in those exercises?

Nato exercizes in the Atlantic, most likely yes. The Dutch in fact operated P3's at that time.

It has yet to get initial operational clearance. Pl read and from now onward keep your knowledge update.

TAIPEI — For the first time in the country’s history, China’s sea-based nuclear deterrent nears initial operational capability (IOC), according to a forthcoming report by a US congressional commission on China.
With a range of 4,000 nautical miles, the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) will have its first credible sea-based nuclear deterrent against the US mainland,

Chine : le missile stratégique JL-2 pour...

So you have yet to have a credible nuclear deterrence.

Your JL 2 is no match to K series. K series are quasi basaltic missile with light weight and and Huge weight carrying with near to Zero CEP with lots of terminal maneuvers. None of your system is capable of intercepting it. It has much higher range than advertised like A5. Our missile is so accurate that we can use it with conventional warhead against high value target.

DO not bring your J 1 to 100 in discussion. They are decades behind K series.

Seems you try to challenge the low IQ end of this forum, unscrupulous and ignorance. K series are far from matured, you are boasting too much......

K series missiles are being already been tested from underwater .

11 tests of K15 have already been completed, the 11th one was its final test - they are being integrated on our nuke sub as we speak.

Two ACCs are more than a threat for PN. However, IN won't be using it for PN. That would be overkill.

In an offensive mode, they would be sitting ducks for any reasonable navy/missile (Pakistan included). So yes we probably would not risk using them against PN. For India a carrier is a good defensive platform or sea lane blockage tool (far from the PN bases). Would guess that the Indian carrier task group has 10% of the capabilities of the US ones + we only have one. So no chance of seeing it in action any time soon. Having one is a step though for the long term (30 yrs) when assuming our economy does not tank we could have multiple carriers (5+) and then thump our chests.

WHAT IS BASIS OF YOUR ASSERTION SON ?
DID YOU CONDUCT ANY WSC TEST?

 

[Harisudan]

What delusional minds we have here.

What is so wrong in it?In what sense it is delusional?
Indian defence forces possess Radar capabilities which can scan almost 990 percent of Pakistani space, let alone the Satellite recon pics..
Any preparation for strategic strike can be met with nuke holocaust..That has been the plan of India After kargil..Your strategic Nuke carrying Missiles are all liquid fuelled and hence needs filling of fuel just before launch which will take hours together..That is the crucial part of India's second strike,..
In plain simple words, Pakistan needs atleast 15 years to catch up India's abilities today..and India Needs atleast 10 years to catch up china's abilities..

She did not care about world opinion, because if she does have cared about it she had stopped assault on Dhaka, She even wanted to finish west Pakistan but at that time US was ready to go at war to save west Pakistan and India even today is in no position to fight US. I have posted links to clarify the minds of those Indians who think that US would have not gone to war with them to save west Pakistan, do u know they have threatened USSR for war if India entered west Pakistan after creating Bangladesh. You ppl just clamming about fleet encounters which do happened but things changed for US when Bangladesh was created and west Pakistan was in danger.

No, USA was not ready to go to war for pakistan, they did everything to stop India in Poilitical means, but it never was ready to go to war with India over paksitan..
There are so many documents which were declassified both from CIA and RAW which can help you get a fair Idea on what happened back then..Pls google em...
After that debate in UN security council, where Bhutto walked out vowing that he'll fight the war, the Political game was pretty much over..
The US CBG was just show casing and to keep Indian Navy at bay so that the Pakistani land forces and Airforces could fight the war for few more day so that, The new shipments from USA can reach them Via Turkey..
Pls go and do some more research..

Airbus A330 MRTT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Airbus Wins India’s Tanker Rebid | Defense News | defensenews.com

So, there are 6 Il-78. There is an intent to buy 12 additional tankers. Of those, 6 are sure to be A330MRTT. It remains to be seen what the other 6 will be.

Since Mig29K can do buddy-refueling using the same UPAZ-1A/M pod used on the standard IL-78, you might see the IL-78 transferred to Navy if Air Force gets sufficient additional A330MRTT. Then again, IIRC the IAF IL-78 are fitted with Isreali fuel transfer systems, and this may or may not mean non-standard pods (not sure. see: TRISHUL: IL-78MKI-90 Detailed).

I would think any MRTTs would also be used in other roles, which could impose on the number available for tanker duties at any given time.

The IAF will never transfer assets like AARs to the IN- they just won't do it. The way it will have to happen is the IN gets their own AARs and this is already under serious consideration, after the initial 6 A330 MRTTs the follow-on order is likely to be for 8 (6+2) A330 MRTT with 2 earmarked for the Indian Navy, order should be placed sometime in 2016.
