INS VIKRANT SPECIFICATION -INDIAN NAVY- AIRCRAFT CARRIER

Thirty (30) aircraft are going to be deployed on INS Vikrant, which is able to have 20 fighters and 10 helicopters. At present, MiG-29K (Black Panther) fighter jets are going to be deployed on Vikrant and so therell be TEDBF i.e. Two Engine Deck Based Fighter Jet being developed by DRDO and HAL. Because its going to take some years for the TEDBF to be fully ready, Americas F-18A Super Hornet or Frances Rafale (M) will be deployed in the meantime.

The trials of both these fighter jets have started and after the ultimate report, itll be decided which attack aircraft is going to be deployed. From the month of November this year, MiG-29K fighter jets will start being deployed on Vikrant.

INS Vikrant carrier is largely an air force station floating above the ocean from where the notorious intention of enemies are often destroyed through fighter jets, missiles, and drones. 32 Barak-8 missiles are fired from INS Vikrant. Weighing over 44,570 tonnes, the warship is capable of accommodating 30 fighter jets and is provided with air-to-air missiles beyond visibleness and anti-ship missiles beyond guided bombs and rockets.
