Reports on a new postponement of the testing of the carrier INS Vikrant caused a negative reaction in the Indian press

The Indian Navy command reports that the sea tests of the Vikrant aircraft carrier have once again been postponed.

According to the latest data, INS Vikrant will be able to enter the sea tests no earlier than six months later, "under favorable epidemic conditions."

It was originally planned to begin testing on March 12. At the Kochin shipyard, appropriate preparations were made for this. However, in connection with the pandemic, it was decided to postpone the deadlines for April. These reports provoked a disapproving reaction in a number of Indian media. When data appeared from the command of the country's Navy that the tests would begin no earlier than October, this caused real indignation in the Indian press.

It is noted that the command "did not make sure that the INS Vikrant sea tests passed without epidemic risks, although in two months this could already be done."

It should be noted here that in the Indian Navy the ship was supposed to be put into service in 2018. However, then in India they said that “a problem arose due to the delay in the delivery of deck aircraft by Russia aviation". Against this background, Indian Admiral Karambir Singh spoke out that the Wikrant would be put into service by the end of 2022 - with a delay of about 4 years.

Now, Indian experts believe that the INS Vikrant built will not be operational until 2023, which causes additional negative emotions, since China is preparing to build its second own aircraft carrier in the meantime. Recall that the first aircraft carrier built in China is the Shandong Type001A.

For reference: the aircraft carrier “Vikrant” has a length of 260 m, a width of 60 m. Its displacement is 37,5 thousand tons. Maximum speed - 28 knots. The crew is about 1550 people, including 160 officers. INS Vikrant can accommodate up to 30 aircraft and helicopters. Its main combat wing will be MiG-29K fighters. The aircraft carrier implements the Selex RAN-40L early warning radar system.

We should have their problems

Well, Aviki is a technique extremely complex. I don’t even remember at once, whatever western and new aircraft carriers did not receive such a serious "shift to the right" in terms of timing.
Well, yes, everything is still sad with “Kuznetsov”. = _ =

The French helped them, let them help more. It was infa that the French decided to build a new Avik instead of "de Gaulle".

Take your time to pour yourself mud. Not everything is transparent here. Hindus - they are still .... Hindus.
".... As the news agency writes, Russia previously provided India with all the necessary information on a possible contract for the supply of a batch of MiG-29K carrier-based fighters for the newest Indian aircraft carrier Vikrant, but has not yet received a response. In addition, India has not even issued a tender appeal for the supply of carrier-based fighters.
Russia is awaiting an appeal from the Indian Ministry of Defense for the supply of MiG-29K carrier-based fighters for Vikrant. Therefore, it is not very correct to say that the timing of the transfer of the aircraft carrier to the Indian Navy is delayed because of Russia ..... "This is information from 20/02/2020. Did the Indians issue a request for aircraft in the necessary way to conclude / execute a contract?

The author of this text is Yulia Krizhanskaya, a St. Petersburg sociologist. For this "initiative" she was expelled from the EP.
And the first persons of the state have a little less relation to this manifesto. than not at all.

Gazprom is one of the largest taxpayers in Russia.

[GMM]

In any country in the world, hydrocarbon companies are the largest tax payers.
In these theses, the question is different: whose dreams have come true, if this is the property of Russia?
Well, at leisure, read how in North America the population receives payments from the hydrocarbon wealth. Where are the money spent from the oil and gas assets of the Scandinavian countries and the Arab world ...

[Sidor Amenpodestovich]

Well. and you will also read about Gazprom's social projects, such as "Home Towns" and "We Read Every Day."

Let's get back to where we actually started, namely, how our leadership posts idiotic pictures with false signatures.

You can find anything on the Internet.
Here you are, found this supposedly EP Manifesto. And they didn’t bother to verify its authenticity at all, but believed simply because what was written there very much coincides with your attitude.
They also wrote that they fabricated it

Ahaha ... You are such a miserable troll, you have just posted some pictures, and now with the opposite meaning, but you make signatures only in one direction. If only to throw g0vn0m "their" homeland. Without even thinking that people are sitting here with a level of thinking higher than chimpanzees, and not like yours

[cosmos-PS]

They would also order from us a project of our aircraft carrier, if they really need them. We have money and workload of orders, plus one unit. And they will put theirs into operation for a long time. They won’t be able to put the tank into operation for twenty years, and then the aircraft carrier.

[GMM]

I think in the light of Almaty, about tanks, it’s not worth reproaching them especially.
They have experience in tank building for only 20 years, against our 100 years of experience.

And we have them - at least thirty years ago (and even then, even "Ulyanovsk" kakbe TAVKRom was planned). Does anyone really need this now?
"Gyrfalcons" from us (well, from "non-brothers") were bought only because they literally sold at the price of needles (well, this is more for country 404, of course, we sold Admiral Gorshkov to India much more profitably - and "Gorshkov "in fact, it was a slightly improved" Gyrfalcon ").

1143

In 1993, due to a lack of funds for operation and repair, as well as a significant development of the armament resource, mechanisms and equipment, it was withdrawn from the fleet, disarmed and sold for $ 1,6 million to unidentified persons who resold the ship for 8,2 million dollars to the PRC government.

1143.2, 1143.3

On October 6, 1994, between TsUMR and WES (Central Administration of Material Resources and Foreign Economic Relations of the Ministry of Defense) and South Korean company Young Distribution Company (Young Distribution Corp), through the mediation of Compass, contracts were signed 148/8/11014051 and 148 / 8/11014049, in accordance with which Minsk and Novorossiysk TAVKR were sold, for 4,583 million and 4,314 million US dollars, respectively.

1143.4

Negotiations on the acquisition of Admiral Gorshkov by India began in 1994. On January 20, 2004, in New Delhi, the Russian Federation and India signed a package intergovernmental agreement on the free transfer of the hull of a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser (the only ship of Project 11434) to the Indian side with the condition of its repair and modernization under Project 11430 at the Sevmash defense shipyard in Severodvinsk.

1143.6

In April 1998, Tavkr "Varyag" was sold to the Chinese company Chong Lot Travel Agency Ltd. [7] for $ 20 million, as it was announced, for the organization of a floating entertainment center with a casino, like floating entertainment centers converted from Kiev and Minsk TAVKR.

This is how the Soviet legacy went away, only "Kuznetsov" 1143.5 remained. :(

Thank you for the quotes found in confirmation, today I just have little time.
Catch a plus sign.

The project was developed jointly with Russian (Nevsky PKB), French and Italian assistance. "Team hodgepodge", however.

[V.I.P.]

They do not need our projects. They have a requirement for an aircraft carrier-nuclear power plant and an electromagnetic catapult. In the Russian Federation this is not built .... And do not talk about pictures and layouts from exhibitions. We are still transferred to the right . Remember the submarine 677 Lada, which they can’t bring to mind, about the Mace, about the Almaty, Kurgan. Su-57, about frigates. About their adoption dates, which are constantly shifting for decades. Or the Mig-35 was put up for tender without an AFAR, although it was in technical requirements among the Indians. Is there such a radar on airplanes that were transmitted to the Russian Air Force ??? No, only for sale)))))
Yes, and Vikramaditya also could not in time pass them.

See above my comment about “Ulyanovsk” (although in it I spoke about the lack of demand). In Russia - yes, they do not build, BUT! I cannot but note that it was precisely the atomic installation that was planned for Ulyanovsk.
Here to the electromagnetic catapults - it's you in vain. All sane people or springboards use, or steam. Even the Americans are not too sure at the moment that they just desperately need EM kata.

[V.I.P.]

Well, I’m talking about pictures and projects, it makes no sense to talk. Especially as now they are building watercraft in the Russian Federation). Ready and tested aircraft carriers at the Americans ... Elkatapult and the Chinese are already experiencing. New will be with her ... Atomicos only have nuclear carriers, the French De Gaulle does not count)))

What we really need is SANE minesweepers with normal trawls. And we need, essno, they were yesterday. "Alexandrite" - a half-measure and indeed initially very good. the controversial project was.
Well, one or the other flooding would not hurt. Modern. But it is, DREAMS.
By the way, I never bet minuses to anyone (well, if I really deserve it), so do not consider him for MY reaction.
