Tomorrow the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya will be handed over to Indian sailors

The crew and the transfer team of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya complete the final preparations for the transfer of the ship to the Indian Navy. The official ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, November 16. The Russian delegation is headed by Vice-Premier Dmitry Rogozin, and from the Indian side, Arakkaparambil Curian Anthony, Minister of Defense.

“The ceremony will take place in any kind of weather,” assured the correspondents of “RG” on Sevmash, where the ship is now tested. The commander of the Indian crew, Commodore Suraj Berri, and the responsible deliverer, Igor Leonov, allowed us to explore the entire aircraft carrier from the inside and outside.

At the exit to the White Sea, Igor Leonov said, Vikramaditya will take on board the necessary supply of diesel fuel and take a course to the Barents Sea. And then around Europe, to the place of permanent basing off the west coast of India.

The formal diarchy will be over by that time: since November 16, the ship will completely go under the command of the Indian crew led by Commodore Berry. However, at the time of the transition to the crew will be seconded a team of factory specialists and contractors in the number of 183 people. The exact route and timetable for the transition, for obvious reasons, is not detailed, but as one of the possible options, the passage through the Suez Canal is considered ...

Now, on the flight deck, work is being completed on the restoration of a special anti-slip coating, fairly worn during the training takeoffs and landings of the deck MiGs in August-September in the Barents Sea.

Of course, it is time to close this contract, it is also necessary to upgrade our ships.

[tronin.maxim]

Now, probably, China is nervously looking at this matter. Well, now Kuzya will finally be put up for modernization ?!

[jjj]

"Kuzyu" will be repaired for at least years. It is very rusty inside

[Andrey Yuryevich]

goodbye ... "Admiral Gorshkov" ... I hope a new life will be happier ...

Well, what’s seven feet under the keel! Although he will sail under the Indian flag and his soul is Russian!

Could swim under our flag. There is no political will.

Seven feet under the keel and thanks to the Indians.

[svp67]

Contradictory feelings. On the one hand, if they promised, then of course it is necessary to fulfill it, and on the other, by now such a boat itself would not be superfluous ...

[PLO]

don't be sorry
even the modernized Gorshkov / Vikra remains not the best aircraft carrier
but now Sevmash will be able to closely engage in the modernization of Kuznetsov and Nakhimov

[Mikado]

As for Kuznetsov, I’m not sure that something cardinal is waiting for him, the maximum current cosmetic repair, if you put it on a deep modernization for several years (at our pace), then all of our deck aircraft will lose their skills and even a thread will not help here. We need a second aircraft carrier, but it will not be and will not be in the near future.

[Sokol peruna]

PLO
but now Sevmash will be able to closely engage in the modernization of Kuznetsov

And what is the output of the hydraulic system of the bulk pool already expanded? If not, what kind of repair with modernization can we talk about.

and in a dry dock is it really impossible to conduct work?


or Kuzya’s life went completely without repair?

It depends on what is called repair. Ordinary painting of a ship is also considered a repair.

[Sokol peruna]

PLO

So after all, at your post above it is a question of repair at Sevmash, and not SRZ-82. Yes, and the PD-50 which you have in the photo makes the dock repair of almost all large surface ships, submarines, vessels of the auxiliary fleet of the SF. Where can they make a dock if you put Kuzyu in it for a couple of years?

or Kuzya’s life went completely without repair?

He certainly didn’t have an average. Current and dock are certainly held.

Do we have better?

[Chicot 1]

Oh, what a joy! .. Hindus are finally with an aircraft carrier, but we are not. Rejoice in this, my dear colleagues on the site? .. Well, rejoice further ...

[Vitaly Anisimov]

India is our long-standing reliable partner .. And if he is also well armed then what is bad here! And we’ll build ourselves even better!

[DEfindER]

It would be nice to build an atomic aircraft carrier, otherwise it’s all diesel, the range is very limited, you won’t send it anywhere in the ocean .. And you could solve any problems anywhere with atomic Peter plus a group of destroyers ..

[PLO]

do you think india sold it and upgraded it for free?
this contract allowed us to maintain the experience of building the AB, in addition, it helped to fly the Mig-29K aircraft
so this news is definitely joyful

[sanych]

We are glad that at least one ship did not repeat the fate of its sisters-thorns - it did not become an entertainment complex (casino) or a heap of scrap metal! You know perfectly well the fate of "Kiev", "Novorossiysk", "Minsk". After all, if it were not for the Indians, it would be so. And so, the Admiral Gorshkov will still walk on the seas-oceans! Even under a different name and flag.

Partnership has always been the size of a variable ... And from the fact that India will be well armed with our Navy (yes, and with all the armed forces) it will be neither hot nor cold ...

Quote: MIKHAN

And we’ll build ourselves even better!

When? .. Can you name the exact dates for commissioning our new aircraft carrier? ..

Quote: DEfindER

It would be nice to already build an atomic aircraft carrier, otherwise all diesel engines, the range is very limited, you can’t direct it anywhere in the ocean .. And you could solve any problems anywhere with atomic Peter plus a group of destroyers

Dream, dream ...

I don’t think so. Otherwise, this would generally be an extreme degree of dibilizma ...

Quote: olp

In addition, the MiG-29K helped to fly into the air.

The MiG-29K for your information took off in the late 1980s, along with the Su-27K. So there is no merit of the Indians ...

Quote: sanych

at least one ship did not repeat the fate of its sister spikes

I know. But for the sake of objectivity, it should be noted that the "sister-thorns" of "Gorshkov" by the time of their sale practically exhausted the resource of their SEUs. And this happened because the coastal infrastructure for these ships was not created ...

Quote: sanych

And so, will still walk on the seas-oceans "Admiral Gorshkov"

Smaller potties, please ... For the "Gorshkov" would look much better in the Pacific Fleet (for example) under the St. Andrew's flag and its real name ... Or do you want to say that having another aircraft carrier in service now (and in some unknown future!) The Russian Navy would be the loser? ..

Quote: olp

Yes, enjoy your health. And I will always be happy only for the Russian Navy ... And there, at least zaminusuyte to melt ...

[PLO]

do not tell tales
the difference between the Mig-29K of the 80s and the current one is the same as between Gorshkov and Vikramadatya

of course, there is no direct merit of the Indians, except that their order helped to start mass production

Yes, enjoy your health. And I will always be happy only for the Russian Navy ... And there, at least zaminusuyte to melt ...

Mlyn's hero rushed to the embrasure of cons

[major071]

Fulfilled the contract - well done! Now we need to work on the Russian fleet.

[morpogr]

Long life to the ship. Now it’s time to start doing it for yourself.

[Scandinavian]

It is necessary to put down on this occasion .... we do not need nine hundred, two in two hundred and five hundred ....

[cerko]

it is let the Americans build expensive aircraft carriers for themselves and we need to build cheaper killers of these aircraft carriers

[Stiletto]

And what's the news, actually? Now, if it had not been transmitted, then yes, the news. And about what will happen, and so everyone has long known, there is a corresponding contract.

[indiggo]

Well, that moment has come, of course, it’s a pity, but the contract needs to be fulfilled. Seven feet under the keel...

[avg]

Tomorrow the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya will be handed over to Indian sailors

The most important thing is that the day after tomorrow, it will not be returned to the factory workers for repairing the boilers.

[Nitarius]

Any EXPERIENCE is helpful! How to understand can not-yapping "USE Poor-yourself without such." We made a start, trained young personnel, made mistakes, etc. The MIG-29K learned to take off, the pilots were driven.
Well, how can I still not rejoice-EXPERIENCE is the main thing. And most importantly-TEACHING ON ERRORS

Very unusual and interesting video compilation, Apollon.


And Gorshkov - GOOD LUCK!
Take care of him, Indians ...

Quotes:
"... The crew of the Vikramaditya (Russian) consisted of 357 sailors, 70 officers and 150 petty officers. At the same time, about half of the seamen-petty officers came from the reserve. Among the middle and senior command personnel, the bulk also consisted of people with naval experience: at least two dozen people served on the aircraft carrier "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" - from the ship's commander and senior assistant to the commanders of combat units ... "

"... Over the past five years, I have become accustomed to celebrating three holidays of the Indian people: the day of the Indian Navy, the Day of the Republic of India and the Day of India's independence from Great Britain," the commander of the Vikramaditya Igor Ryabko jokes in his online diary. However, reading his diary, you understand that this is not a joke at all: all the mentioned holidays are really celebrated on board the aircraft carrier. Along with the Day of the Navy, Day of Russia and the Day of our independence from the "Polish lords" (November 4, if anyone does not remember).

Indians on "Vikramaditya" are currently divided into three conditional groups. The first, the group overseeing the repair and modernization of the aircraft carrier, is headed by the 1st rank captain of the Indian Navy Kudravalli Srinivas, the second (the Indian crew proper) is the XNUMXst rank captain Suraj Berry. It is Berry, along with Igor Ryabko, who is the commander of the Vikramaditya. The third group is formed by the acceptance and transfer commission headed by its chairman, Rear Admiral of the Indian Navy Hari Kumar, who since his arrival in Severomorsk is considered the eldest among his compatriots ... "

[not good]

The ship has found a new place of service, but for I. Ryabko there are no offers ... God forbid that it was found, otherwise it seems that all sorts of Serdyukovs are more important for the country than real professionals.

[Srgsoap]

Thank you, an interesting selection of videos.

[Charon]

Even sorry for the guys. How cold!

[KEKS44]

Very good. India must be friends, power, however!

[Ihrek]

Finally, they waited for the transfer. Good luck Aircraft carrier, happy sailing, God forbid more than a dozen years

[SEM]

YOUNG HINDAS AND OURS ALSO READY (Although very long), but apparently remembered for a long time, the aircraft carriers then repair every year)))

[coserg 2012]

Good luck with the cruiser. Let it fly under the Indian flag, but Russia has brought you up!

[Danil]

Once upon a time, you need to sell all the junk, and build a new one, with normal conditions for the crew.
Seven feet under the keel and not a single break on the march.

[APASUS]

I hope their Raja Vikramaditya in whose honor the ship was called will be more favorable to its fate and the ship will be waiting for many years!

[EdwardTich68]

If this junk again does not burn, praise the Creator.

[shpuntik]

Well, thank God! Well done Severodvinsk, finished off TSZT.
I especially liked the phrase:

"- The ceremony will take place in any weather, - assured the correspondents of" RG "at" Sevmash "..."
