INS Vikrant, the First Indian-Built Aircraft Carrier, Begins Sea Trials - Video
09:03 GMT 04.08.2021 (Updated: 10:38 GMT 19.07.2022) India's first aircraft carrier, the INS Vikrant, took the name of a ship which was decommissioned in 1997. India at present has only one aircraft carrier, the Russian-made INS Vikramaditya.
The first
aircraft carrier to have been built in India, the INS Vikrant, finally began its sea trials on Wednesday; it is slated to be commissioned next year.
Built at the Cochin Shipyard at a cost of over $3.5 billion, the 262 meter-long ship has a displacement of 40,000 tonnes. This will allow the warship to carry a total of 30 aircraft, including fighters and helicopters.
The
warship will boost India's offensive and surveillance capabilities to compete with China's growing presence in the Indian Ocean Region. China already has two aircraft carriers and is aiming to
expand its fleet to 10.
The INS Vikrant will operate MiG-29K fighter aircraft, Kamov-31 Air Early Warning Helicopters, MH-60R multi-role helicopters, and other light helicopters, India's Defence Ministry earlier announced.
