Re: #4063 -- Is that the INS Vikramaditya (ex-Gorshkov) or the chinese one ?

The INS Vikramaditya (ex-Gorshkov). You can notice in the background a Kirov class cruiser (I guess Admiral Nakhimov).

^^ Helicopter carrier but she still has the ski jump??

Has this been posted before?



D-Mitch^^ Helicopter carrier but she still has the ski jump??

imagine the cost to replace that ski jump!!!! All British Harriers are gone so until the new F-35 will arrive there is no a chance that this carrier can handle any jet aircraft!!!

Why remove it? You'd maybe get an extra landing spot out of the effort and you'd reduce the ship's utility. Not worth the cost.

Yes you are right gentlemen I understand your point!
