Thank you. Flytogether. In the second photo a lot more is shown than just the 022. I can google for 628, I'm not competent to recognize the ship in the foreground and I wonder what is being done to her?

You need not google 628, it is Type 037 HAINAN class KAIYUAN (77 Subchaser Squadron Haiyangdao).

The ship alongside Type 891 DAHUA class BI SHENG is a Type 051G LUDA class, either 109 KAIFENG or 110 DALIAN.

Be very careful, Flytogether. Doing what you do, I would not publish your location or anything that might be used to identify you on a public forum of any type. Stay safe, and God bless you. Mods, you may want to contact Flytogether and ask if you can scrub such revealing posts and information from the site and the servers. Unfortunately, it is surely already archived in numerous places. Anyhow, better be safe than sorry. Just my advise.

Re: Aircraft Carriers II

The Russians still want to talk the INdians into a Russian self-defense system and so are still pushing and recommending the AK-630 and Kashtan.

But I believe the INS is still looking towards the Barak missile system. They seem to be going that way in a general since with their new Kolkata vessels and future firgates as well, so it is no surprise they would put the same type of defensive system on the carrier. My guess is that they will have the Israeli missile system iunstalled later, oce it is ready. In the mean time, they will be training up their air wing and the personnel on operations of the carrier.

The Indians have always had a mixed bag of western and Russian weapons systems on many of their vessels. Has to be a heck of a mess logistically.

From what i understand the Vikramaditya will be fitted with some kind of Barak missile system from Israel in 2017.

Could be , I forgot the details . I only remember I was astonished when I first found out Vikramaditya will be completely defenseless when commissioned .

Yes , but Kolkata class still retains AK-630 , if everything else fails . It will be prudent for Indians to keep both guns and missiles for close defense of such capital ship as Vikramaditya .

If you read the part that i highlighted in the article then you will know that the Vikramaditya was build with components from more than 200 companies from 13 different countries. Their rollerdex of suppliers for spare parts and maintenance for this ship must be longer than my arm.
