Re: Latest Varyag Pics

Well of those souht american countryes, only Brazil have nowadays a carrier and they are also still learning the use of jetfighters onboard (we all know the ridicilous struggle between brazil's navy and airforce about whose gonna fly those planes..) so i doupt that china could benefit greatly from brazils input...

Argentinia and Brazil hold exercises for some years, including using the carriers of both states - now Argentias naval air arm use the new brazil carrier, in the past brazil also operated a helo carrier and brazil pilots used the former argentinian carrier.
And now Brazil, Argenitinia and Venezuela build the axis of popular socialistic gov. in Southamerica.

Re: Latest Varyag Pics

yes, but as i mentioned, Brazilian navy has operated jets for only few years now and as more and more time passes after the deactiviation of 25 De Mayo, i severly doupt that Argentinian government aint going to waste more money to carrier airarm whit no carrier...

Russia is offcourse totally diferent thing...I mena, Kuznetsovs senior officers have to retire someday, dont they;) ?

well, they might, seeing how the russians can potentially offer dozens of engine, weapons, aircraft, adviser, etc deals for such carrier. that would be worth billions of dollars. the russian might even get the chinese to let the ship be built in a russian ship yard(like gorshkov).
but im not sure if china ready or interested in opereating such a carrier. that would be like jumping from no carrier to a nimitz. plus, construction would take at least 7-8 years. better off with the 70% complete vessel.

I agree..but what i'm saying is that do u think PLAN would approach Russia for the cancelled Ulyanovsk-class carrier after they finish Varyag and gets a hang of how to properly operate a carrier?

i think its best if the plan lays off russian designs and go builds its own carrier. its not good for national pride if the plan has too many russian ships.

Well PLAN has no experience with constructing and operating a carrier. Therefore they will have to follow Russian designs for a long while because Europeans are not likely to be helping China out. Plus if i were to go acquire a carrier for PLAN, i would go for the Ulyanovsk-class carrier because of its size and armor. What do u guys think?:china:
