They haven't even built a catapult carrier yet, let alone nuclear. Its like all indian projects. Too much hype generation, then constant delay and finally a subpar product that never meets expectations.
Catapult can and likely will be procured from abroad.
I had forgotten about this. With external procurement, primary bottleneck will be a big enough basin to actually build something. Maybe 15 years is actually doable, although I still think that's on the optimistic side.
Likely will be delayed, probably by a lot. But I don't consider indian navy procurement nowhere near the same joke their air force or army are.
In 20300 then if country like India still around then they need more than aircraft carrier. I mean something like ion engine star destroyers is minimum don't you think/s. Lol
I agree with this. Indian naval procurement is much more streamlined than the air force or army, but the 15-year timeline is still subject to the standard 'Jai Hind' disclaimers.
The nuclear reactor for the carrier will have to be much larger than the Soviet VM-4 reactor clone they have in the submarines.
That's Martian solar years 1.88 X earth solar years =15 x 1 .88=28.2 earth years give or take 5 years ...but that is being optimistic most likely Jupiter years which is 11.8 times earth's years.india building a nuclear carrier doesn't bother me but every time they launch a ship-up to 50%-indigenous these jai hinds have to mention China(China afraid now?.PLAN is terrified bs)why?
Do you guys remember the Soviet Ivan Rogov class landing ship?india should just buynthe blueprints and build /modernize it to her needs.....but we are talking about india-so she doesn't have the industrial/scientific capabilities to do so.Too bad not a bad design to build upon.Otherwise why would Russia want the French Mistral class LHD?
