INS Vikrant

Post by Sukhoiman »

I think the old thread is in the old board (couldn't find it here).

Some nice comparison pics I came across between old and new:

Sea ops of the new Vikrant have commenced with some mig 29 and helis.

A deal to acquire some 26 Rafale is apparently proceeding.

I love the pictures.

What are the planes on the older carrier's deck? I can't tell because my folded wing identification skills are sadly lacking.

Probably Hawker Sea Hawk. They don't look like they have the hump of Alize ASW and the only other plane listed on wiki were sea harriers.

Yes, they are Sea Hawks.
