  1. By INS Vikranth, do u mean the ADS?? I dont think so….How come there is such a good graphic image done and why is the deck filled with F-15Es..

  2. Why does the artist think that the Vikrant would host (navalised???) F-15 Eagles? I thought we had settled on a complement of Mig-29Ks and N-Tejas.

  3. looks more like superimposition of a model pic on an ocean pic in photoshop..
    Can count 14 A/C.. whats the projected capacity?
    where is the self defence/ other equipment..

    so it mig 29 for Vikrant.. Since its anyway an artist’s impression, I wish he had gone ahead with NLCA..

  4. the ship looks like a Baku class…the aircraft are similar to F-15 in appearance (?) and the island looks like the one commonly found on Fincantieri designed carriers….so, is this the final design…overall, nice way to startup.

  5. I love the pic except for 1 thing. somebody needs to take the artist aside and tell him that those aircraft he’s shown on the flight deck are F-15s which are not drawn to scale (and are not carrier capable in any case).

  6. i think INS VIKRANT has crazy number of F-15s on board……….it will be the first carrier……infact IN will be the first navy to use F-15’S……

  7. I think the artist has ski-jump incorrectly drawn, along with the bow. As it stands now it is as if the ADS superstructure has been grafted onto a Kiev hull.

    Check against the model from AI09

    you are correct….the ski-lift of IAC will look similar to the arrangement that we have on the INS Viraat now,with the addition of cross-runway for landing and extraction.

    no, they don’t look like MiG 29….check the position of the jet intakes, u fool….and tell me, which of the F-15s have foldable wings…LMFAO!
    and last but not the least, try commenting using ur blogger ID….most of us know who u are.

  10. Why is the commentbox so fucked up in firefox browser. I cannot see anything properly and it’s so hard to comment. And is this how India plans to make it’s AC by ripping off American designs and planes.

  11. My friends b logical,its mig29k & dosn't even look like f-15s more over if u have some douts then have a look at some f-15.i also heard some 1 calling it a iternational carrier.wat f***,help was just sorted for propulsion and air stips layout.d desing is indi,propulsion is indi & 98 % const is indian.i also wana say that consultancy of private & foreign firms is almost unavoidable & is a common practise around d world.WE r making progress& it has to b step by step.
