Take your nationalistic crap and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Or do the world a favor and just blow each other up, cause I'm pretty the entire planet would be glad to hear you guys stop bitching. Religion is about the stupidest thing going, and you guys both do it in spades.

Though they probably exist, I haven't seen funny-looking sloped decks like that on even the oldest US carriers....

It's an adaptation intended for use with VSTOL {Vertical & Short Take Off & Landing} aircraft. I.e. Harriers today. F35 maybe someday. The ramp makes a reasonable increase in the payload they're able to get airborne with, and a reasonable decrease in the amount of fuel required to do so.

The US Navy doesn't fly Harriers. The US Marines do, though the role intended is a little different. The Royal Navy do have some small carriers with ramps.

The ski jumps are not for vstol planes on the new indian carrier or on most carriers. They are for traditional carrier aircraft and assist with take off. The Indians and the Russians are using mig29k's or older su33's. I think the only vstol plane used in conjunction with ramps tho is the sea harrier which is mostly retired.

What about the tassles? It's like everyone is purposely not mentioning the tassles.

 

[buletaja]

can they land and take off , or just to carry ?

Land and Take Off

 

[Soundmanred]

I highly doubt this boat can take off and land.
This is not Final Fantasy people!

Doubt it. I'm not Pakistani or Muslim or anti-India and, yet, I agree with him: It looks stupid.

Though they probably exist, I haven't seen funny-looking sloped decks like that on even the oldest US carriers and it's clear that it's not a modern development or new advanced design.

Either redevelop the 70-year old catapult tech and obtain appropriate aircraft or look funny trying to do it without either.

stop comparing your nation's navy to that of a third world country then. And its not like we are going to war with America. Its mostly for pakistan, china and patrolling the indian ocean.

this isnt about religion man. its about those pakistanis violating the cease fire and murdering our soldiers and beheading them. its not the muslims i hate its those hate preachers that advocate the murder of all jews, americans and hindus.

That does not mean you can accuse anyone you don't like to be a Pakistani.

what does desi mean?

Desi means a person belonging to a certain country(American translates to America desi). It is derived from the word desh which means country in Hindi.

Now it is generally accepted that desi is a word used to identify people from the Indian subcontinent.

An interesting article on why the soviets did not opt to build a bazillion super carriers as heart of their fleet, but instead views them as support forces.
Whether fleets adopting their hardware need to adopt this doctrine, and whether that's possible is another discussion.
Generally it's pretty obvious that for the power-projection task a heavy super carrier with a strike package focus (as opposed to an aerial superiority/anti-sub focus) is more suited. Modern multirole fighters can bridge that gap slightly, but CATOBAR'd F18s/F35s are still on another level to STOBAR'd MIG29Ks and SU33s, when it comes to anything but light strike capability.

Good read, thanks.

My friend you won't believe how entitled some people in this place (India) think themselves to be. And especially the uneducated folks.

Much wisdom here.

seriously.. whats up with everyone getting confused between south asians and native americans..? Some people take that stupidity to totally new heights.. like this guy-

Dot or feather?

 

[irishScott]

we should just annex the US so they become *our* carriers.

Hmm. I'd suggest invading via New York. Only border state with an assault weapons ban, and worst case scenario you can keep them.

Hey asshole, you can't even respect the culture of others and yet at the same time you demand your culture be respected?

It is your own stupidity that you can't seem to grasp.
