Re: Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC 2): News & Discussion
65k tonne carrier was a pipe dream sold to IN by USN-trained folks.
India has the design for a 45K tonne carrier and will build one more.
The lifts need to be enlarged.
Meanwhile, the 65k tonne carrier design will be completed.

One lesson from Russian conversion.of dumb bombs.
India should look at similar solution for the large number of 1000 lb bombs with IAF.
Sudarshan was not very good solution.
DRDO has the GPS chips and MING that can be used.
Besides 1000 lb are inexpensive to make.

BAE was adamant that IA testing caused the barrel to burst when it was barrel erosion.
IA needs to ensure enough barrels before deploying.

Learn from Ukraine. Importing is not the solution.

I wish DRDO and the truck manufactures make an armored cabin which is plug in replaceable. All that glass is bullet friendly.
Makes two types of cabin : one for Ashok Leyland and another for Tata trucks.
All should have armor to resist small arms fire and a roof mounting for an MG.
