The antenna mast on the right side of the ship looks like a bad idea. Notice the flag

The newly refurbished INS Vikramaditya aircraft carrier took to the sea for the first time on Friday.

The carrier sailed out for crucial pre-delivery trials in the early hours of June 8 from the berth of the Sevmash shipyard in Russias northern city of Severodvinsk, where the former Soviet heavy aviation cruiser Gorshkov had been converted into a regular aircraft carrier christened Vikramaditya.

During the trials, scheduled to last 120 days, all the ships systems will be tested.

The main part of the trials is testing aircraft takeoff and landing, Sevmash chief Andrei Dyachkov told The Hindu. The programme of tests is very tight as deck aviation can operate only from June to September in the harsh conditions of Arctic seas.

The test flights will be carried out using two Russian aircraft, MiG-29K and MiG-35, flown by Russian pilots. Russia last year delivered to the Indian Navy 12 MiG-29K single-seaters and 4 MiG-29KUB two-seaters, which will be based on the Vikramaditya. India has ordered another batch of 29 MiG-29K deck fighters that will also provide airpower for the Vikrant aircraft carrier being built in India.

A part of the Indian crew of the Vikramaditya, who have just completed training in Russia, have joined the Russian team for the carriers first sea voyage; more Indian sailors will fly in from India for the trials later, bringing the total naval personnel on board to 2,700, almost double the ships regular crew.

If all goes well, an Indian acceptance team will board the carrier at later stages of the sea trials. Upon completion of the tests the Vikramaditya will return to port to allow finishing touches to be made before delivery in December.

We are confident we can keep the schedule and hand over the ship to India on December 4, Mr Dyachkov said.

Pakistan Airforce: The largest distributor of Indian airforce parts in Asia



Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.

"The chief aim of all government is to preserve the freedom of the citizen. His control over his person, his property, his movements, his business, his desires should be restrained only so far as the public welfare imperatively demands. The world is in more danger of being governed too much than too little. It is the teaching of all history that liberty can only be preserved in small areas. Local self-government is, therefore, indispensable to liberty. A centralized and distant bureaucracy is the worst of all tyranny. Taxation can justly be levied for no purpose other than to provide revenue for the support of the government. To tax one person, class or section to provide revenue for the benefit of another is none the less robbery because done under the form of law and called taxation." John W. Davis, Democratic Presidential Candidate, 1924. Davis was one of the greatest trial and appellate lawyers in US history. He also served as the US Ambassador to the UK.

i like the bar.
i cannot imagine anyone surviving at sea for long without bar.
water is secondry , who needs water if u have whisky.( after heavy alchohal drinking water with salt in fact is much appriciated) damn bars are so good , one of the best inventions ever.

 

I case u are not aware,all IN ships are dry.

The bedrooms are actually cleaner than the Commonwealth apartments.

I case u are not aware,all IN ships are dry.""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

 

i am blessed then, that i am not in IN. but i am pretty much sure that indian army is not dry. even lowly jawans get weeky quota of rum.

and i am 100% sure that officers mess has all the branded rums and whiskys"( my cousin was major then and my friends dad was colonel). i have been there and so can tell.

indian armys officers mess is awesome.

but i must ask whats the point in putting bar if it has to be dry. its like rubbing salt on wounds.

its press gang, the navy is.

why are these Malays and Turds so jealous and bitter lol?

@Jat_Sikh

Sure the IA & IAF have that privilege but all IN warships are dry since '71 after the Khukri incedent.Having said that at shore they have one of the best clubs which are far more luxurious and glamourous than the IA & IAF joints,I go to Radio Club once a month at Colaba in Mumbai,the drink quota is the same as enjoyed by other fighting arms.Offcourse I've enjoyed the officer's mess up to my heart's content a memory which I cherish till now.

Retarded chingeloo, a heli is as much an aircraft as a passenger jet.

Stupid midget.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/aircraft

A machine or device, such as an airplane, helicopter, glider, or dirigible, that is capable of atmospheric flight.

Get the hell outta here right now, bitch.

so Indians consider heli even glider is an aircraft ... hahhaha, we are talking about AC ,,, not dictionary ... really damn, no wonder they only eat cows dung and drink rotten cows urine .. what would you expect ?

next time Indians will consider a kite as an aircraft too and boosting India has 1,000,000 aircraft .. 1,000 times more than the US or China ... typical

Dance for me monkey. Nothing gives me more pleasure than watching a chingeloo squirm!
