Russia will deliver the modernized Vikramaditya aircraft carrier to India on December 4th 2012

Russian Aviaton » Wednesday January 18, 2012 14:51 MSK

Russia will deliver the modernized Vikramaditya (ex-“Admiral Gorshkov”) aircraft carrier to India on December 4th 2012. The ship’s sea trials will be started in May, Kommersant reports.

The ship has been moved from the filled pool to the quayside of Sevmash in 2008 for loading of new equipment using vigorous cranes. «The ship will be delivered to the customer on December 4th 2012, when the anniversary of Indian navy is celebrated»,— said Deputy Director General on military-technical cooperation of the enterprise, Sergey Novoselov, on January 17th. «The ship’s first sortie is scheduled at the end of May after the spring ice drift»,— he added. According to Novoselov, it is necessary to accommodate the crew at the ship in late February, thus the personnel will have time to get used to the ship.

The agreement on modernization of the aircraft carrier is one of the major ones in the history of military-technical cooperation between India and Russia.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
