India intends to announce a tender for the acquisition of a new aircraft carrier

New Delhi plans to announce a tender for the purchase - designing with the help of foreign specialists and building a fourth aircraft carrier at shipyards in India, a blog reports bmpd with reference to the TTU newsletter.

According to the publication, the aircraft carrier must have a "displacement of 65000 tons, length of 300 meters and width of 70 meters." (“Almost English carrier of Prince of Wales”, - the author notes).

"New Delhi seems to be leaning in favor of the nuclear power plant, which is considered less costly for long-term operation, as India expects to keep the new aircraft carrier (called Vishal) for 50 years," writes the publication.

According to the author, “the composition of the Vishal wing will be one of the most difficult elements of the tender, since the number of aircraft required reaches 54 units.”

The country's Defense Ministry intends to achieve unification in the supply of spare parts for Navy and Air Force aircraft. Therefore, the Indians will evaluate "only Rafale and MiG-29, which meet this condition (modification of the MiG-29K already constitutes the wing of the aircraft carrier Vikrant)".

At the end of January, a French delegation visited India, the purpose of which was to offer the Indian Navy to enter into a contract for the supply of the deck version of the Rafale aircraft manufactured by Dassault Rafale.

    India hopes to keep a new aircraft carrier (named Vishal) for 50 years

    Are Hindus going to live forever? In the current geopolitical situation - a very optimistic planning horizon. Joke.smile
    I do not understand, they believe that the MiG-29 or Rafal will last half a century? In the future, thinking is not fate? For example, the decked version of the same FGFA is not considered?

      Exactly! And WE continue to argue and chew snot, as in the previous article: http://topwar.ru/91188-avianosec-rossiyskomu-flotu.html! India probably has more money than ours? Or maybe considerations and tactical thinking?

        After all the jambs (including the deadlines) that Russia allowed during the transfer of Vikramadity to the Indians, it will be hard to win such a tender.
        It will be necessary to offer special conditions, to make concessions.

        The technological level of the French, allows them to quickly collect something or a military vessel, but the French have a negative reputation after the Mistral.

          Aircraft carrier, as you know, is a UNIVERSAL weapon. Due to the possibility of basing it on the deck of all the main types of military aircraft. Aircraft carrier knows everything that its aircraft PLUS can do, installed on it equipment and weapon systems. In addition, he is mobile. If we somewhere do not have the opportunity (As in Syria) to dull our air group, then the Aircraft Carrier will help us!

            What kind of unusual weapons systems are there on aircraft carriers? For example, on the newest "Gerald Ford" only air defense for self-defense with very mediocre characteristics.

              Buddy, understand a simple thing. In Syria, assaults on us will not end. And the next time they will create a situation for us when we will carry our planes on a hump to the base, and even pay money for it, if we can agree. Look a little further than the present situation. And about what aircraft carriers are able to do, it will only depend on us. Aviation already flies 4-5 thousand km, and can carry "Caliber" and "Onyx", which, in turn, can even be equipped with nuclear warheads. I am not even talking about the cover of our nuclear submarines in the areas of alert and possible non-conflicts.

              The Asia-Pacific region is becoming a "crowded place" - wherever an aircraft carrier spits, the sky is streaked with contrails from planes and missiles, and submarines scamper along the bottom.

            And let us tell you how many aircraft carriers with MiG-29K are needed to perform the same work with the same efficiency as the aviation group consisting of SU-24, SU-34, SU-30, SU-25 and 35, helicopter group ?

              I’ll tell you, dear, that a normal Aircraft Carrier does not carry Mig-29k, but it carries a normal air group of MISCELLANEOUS aircraft, formed to carry out a combat mission.
              If YOU are interested in HOW? That read about the use of several American AUG in the war against Iraq. Very informative.
              And let's not go too far away from this "course of a young soldier of the times of the USSR" when the whole explanation about the absence of these ships was based on: well, we do not have them, well, it is not necessary, because this is a floating target barge with aircraft for the enemy! wassat

                If the information is correct that the Chinese have made significant progress in creating high-precision ballistic missiles and the ability to hit large surface targets, this creates a great danger to large surface military targets, including aircraft carrier groups. If similar precision missiles appear in our country, then I think all NATO’s naval power will be neutralized. But we think we need an 1-2 aircraft carrier with a nuclear power plant with escort protection capable of protecting the impacts of such missiles - perhaps in the future they will find the opportunity to place marine counterparts with-500 on ships

              And what do you have against the MiG-29 K? The armament is the same as on the above aircraft. The only thing is that by the number of them there is only one regiment now, well, you can still build it.

                I mean, against? This is primarily an air combat aircraft. What determines his choice for "Vikromaditya", this is a light aircraft carrier - not like the American nuclear scientists! Accordingly, the carrying capacity and weapon systems of these KUB are sharpened significantly for enemy aircraft, and this is already a minus for the entire aircraft carrier. Narrow specialization (so to speak) runs counter to the definition of an Aircraft Carrier as a UNIVERSAL weapon. On a normal flat-deck nuclear-powered aircraft carrier there are ALL types of aircraft, and there are more of them than on the converted from the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Vikromaditya". Something like this, I hope I conveyed the main idea and differences. Yes

                  Actually, now the entire fleet of "Nimitz" is reduced to "Super Honets", "Growlers" and "Hawks". "Super Hornets" by the way are in about the same category as the MiG-29K. More, but not as significant as the Su-35, for example.

              All that you have listed here can be made by two types of aircraft, the MiG-31BM and the MiG-35 (the MiG-31 will also replace the T-50, which has not yet grown to its level). I will also tell you one thing that many people here know, but do not write. Look at the payload of our supernova aircraft and weep. For example, the Su-34 has a normal take-off weight of 39 tons, and carries four OFAB-250-270, this is a ton of load and this is an unguided weapon, such bombs must hang at all nodes to cover targets with a carpet. Why am I writing this, and besides that this is the cost of a combat mission, these are several boxes of gold thrown into the wind. And you still write here about efficiency, first study the issue, and then spit such comments, about efficiency, or do you think why the question of urgent modernization of the Su-34 appeared, it has no thrust-to-weight ratio, everything that it does will easily be done by Su -30, MiG-29K (M / M2) and at the same time they remain full-fledged fighters. Syrian MiG-23s carry four OFAB-500s, sometimes six, but they are running out. This is a word about cost_efficiency. About the Su-35, the fighter has an airborne radar, with a viewing range of about 430 km. and missiles for combat at close and medium distances, and here you please write me something about the effectiveness. And I'll write you this. Several Raptors and AWACS planes will be brought there and they will cover the entire Mediterranean with their eyes. The Raptor, which does not have such a long-range AFAR, will have a great advantage over the thirty-fifth Sukhar. In a passive mode, he will begin to hammer from a distance of 200 km., While "Crack will have to reduce the distance to 70 km, you can feel the difference. The only one who can take the whole Middle East and the Mediterranean under real control is the MiG-31BM, with the threat of real Destruction of the enemy at long distances. Also for your information, accompany our "Crackers" on the "case" spat on all MiG-29, also MiG-29 and MiG-23 keep the Israeli direction. You take into account the fact that the Su-34 costs 130 lemons green, it is heaped up under the most do not spoil it has a very expensive combat mission (golden), there the Su-25 solves the same tasks with the same success and several times cheaper. Here we have almost completely destroyed Tu-22M bombers, they said that its tasks will easily execute the Su-34, well, what did you accomplish? No and never will, install a booster bar on the "Carcass" and it's practically "Strategist", so there are about 30 of them left, out of several hundred, the rest were destroyed under the promise of Poghosyan b his Su-34 (the hat was not for Senka). Without embellishment, see for yourself our own videos of how and with what our planes go on a mission. At least a MiG-29-9,12 with four OFABs will do this job no less efficiently and much cheaper, while it is also a fighter. Read less advertising brochures and more real information from different sources.

          So Indians do not see Russia as a partner in the construction of an aircraft carrier because we have neither experience nor personnel.
          Who will help build an aircraft carrier for India is no secret:
          21.02.2016/20/XNUMX The American delegation, led by the head of the US aircraft program, Rear Admiral Thomas J. Moore (Thomas J Moore) visited various defense and industrial facilities in India, reports the Military Parity with reference to defencenews.in (February XNUMX).
          The purpose of the visit of a representative delegation of 11 people is to discuss US participation in the design and construction of promising Indian aircraft carriers

          In my opinion, everything is extremely clear. But they still kick at the wing:
          Therefore, the Indians will evaluate "only Rafale and MiG-29,

          It sounds naive that only US planes will take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier built jointly with the United States.

            It's just that at one time I was amused by a wave of reposts about Lenin's statement: "The problem with the Internet is that they believe in it." Something like that.
            But the Internet appeared 45 years after the death of Lenin)) That smiled.

    If YOU are interested in HOW? That read about the use of several American AUG in the war against Iraq. Very informative.

    Maybe you admit that besides you, someone else read about it?
    In the Gulf War, the States used 5 (five) AUGs.
    Several annual budgets of the Russian Federation, if we take the cost of the aircraft carriers themselves, ships of air groups, aircraft groups and maintenance costs.
    And at the same time, only one third of all sorties made during that operation were made on deck aviation. Those. aircraft carriers played only an auxiliary role.

      Do not try to convince such people, no offense is said to anyone.
      Everyone is deeply convinced of his truth, considering himself a strategist) The dispute will lead to nothing here.

      Moreover, they did not risk anything, due to the lack of opponents with suitable weapons. An aircraft carrier will only frighten the Papuans and in essence an attribute of prestige and a scarecrow for the same Papuans. Against comparable opponents, this is just a big target. Drowning it is optional, it is enough to damage it so that it cannot lift and land aircraft. if there is someone to plant, if the enemy has modern air defense, the chances of returning to the aircraft carrier are illusory.

      The sea is the same theater of war as land.
      Why do you need aviation if:
      1. Intelligence can be carried out from space;
      2. For delivering long-range strikes, tactical ballistic and cruise missiles can be used;
      3. At the forefront, you can only work with artillery and MLRS;
      4. Air defense can be carried out only by air defense systems.
      Agree with that? I doubt it. Without aviation, starting from the Second World War, it is impossible to fight on land or at sea.

      But the article was about Russia. Hindus read expert comments and realized that while there is an opportunity, it is necessary to build in order to overtake Russia far and for a long time in this direction))
      But they did not understand that this was a diversion.

    Yes, we have a long coastline. Yes, we can build an aircraft carrier. So what ? Where will we all base them? Shove everything in Murmansk? Have you thought how many non-freezing ports we have? But even an atomic icebreaker is not enough to conduct such a colossus in the ice. There are a lot of questions on basing and theater of operations. And the emphasis of the USSR on the submarine fleet was not accidental. It is not for nothing that our country is considered to be a land power, and our marine doctrine is purely defensive. To operate aircraft carriers, you need to have bases in ice-free seas.

    This is not the only one.
    You need to know exactly why they are required by the country.
    The United States has cooked them for decades because AUGs were considered indestructible and unsinkable compounds that could have a strategic impact.
    Currently, this is no longer the case - and there are already and will be improved in the future, means of destruction that effectively work against aircraft carriers. Now the stage of development of hypersonic missiles is underway, there won't be even the slightest chance against them, I think that in 10 years 2-3 countries will finish them at once. So aircraft carriers have already lost their former halo of "unsinkable" and in the near future they will become targets altogether.
    Then, the concept of "power projection".
    But even in a war with an unimproved militarily enemy (Iraq), the role of AUG aircraft was auxiliary in comparison with the role of ground-based aircraft.
    And why then?
    To threaten different Papuans? Any local operations?
    But isn’t it unprofitable to keep them for such a purpose?
    Amusement to amuse?

    I do not mind a word against this.
    Only the question arises of using precisely aircraft carriers. Rather, three questions
    1. where
    2. how
    3. What are the benefits of an aircraft carrier after answering the previous two questions.

    1. For some reason, we’re fighting some Guinea not every decade, but it’s kind of silly to frighten Italy or Australia with an aircraft carrier.
    2. Chose and sail? Or bomb and start a ground operation? How do we start? We bring a powerful fleet of BDK? Where do we get it from?
    3. If the question is "how in the second world" then air regiments based on land will be more in demand than based on an aircraft carrier.
