Old Indian aircraft carrier
India's old aircraft carrier was the Vikramatia (also known as the Chaori King). On April 26, 2019, the aircraft carrier caught fire and a naval officer was killed. In addition, India also had the aircraft carrier Vikrant, which would kowtow step by step during the trial. It lacked a bulbous bow, and the bow could not offset the vortex generated. As the waves fluctuated, the aircraft carrier would shake up and down. Moreover, the Indian aircraft carrier staff painted the deck as bright as a mirror, which was not conducive to the stable docking of the aircraft.

A hundred-year-old aircraft carrier, a Soviet aircraft carrier.
The development of the Soviet aircraft carrier witnessed the efforts and changes of the Soviet Union in the construction of naval forces. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union vigorously developed its navy to compete with the United States for maritime hegemony. The construction of aircraft carriers became an important part of its naval strategy. In its heyday, it had nine aircraft carriers. However, due to the excessive emphasis on military industry, the Soviet Union's economic structure was unbalanced and eventually disintegrated, which had a huge impact on the fate of its aircraft carriers. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the legacy of the aircraft carrier was divided by the successor states, and the economic situation of each successor state became a key factor in determining the fate of the aircraft carrier. Russia inherited the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. Although it was in poor condition and needed frequent maintenance, it was of great significance to the Russian Navy. Russia hoped to return it to its peak through modernisation to maintain its position in the global naval force. Ukraine took over the Varyag and Ulyanovsk. The Varyag was not completed when the Soviet Union collapsed. It was sold to China because of the lack of funds and technology in Ukraine. After modification, China named it the Liao ship and equipped it with the navy. The Ulyanovsk was the first next-powered aircraft carrier that the Soviet Union intended to build. It was eventually dismantled due to the interruption of the construction plan of the Soviet Union. Novorossiysk was purchased by South Korea and dismantled into scrap metal in 1997. After the Baku was sold to India, it was renamed the Vikramatia. India upgraded it to become the main aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy. The Minsk and the Kyiv were transformed into theme parks in China's Tianjin and Tianjin, respectively, transforming from war tools into cultural tourism carriers. In the early years of the Soviet Union, other aircraft carriers were explored. For example, in the 1960s, the Soviets began to design and develop the Moscow helicopter carrier, which was the first attempt in the field of aircraft carriers. It had a full displacement of more than 20,000 tons. In the 1970s, they developed the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, a total of four, belonging to the 40,000-ton class aircraft carrier. In the 1980s, they began to develop the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, a total of two, a 60,000-ton aircraft carrier. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

Indian aircraft carrier latest news
Currently, India had two aircraft carriers, the Vikramatia that was purchased from Russia (1 US Dollar, 3 billion US Dollar modification fee) and the Vicklant that India built itself. The Vikrant would kowtow every step of the way during the test flight, and its carrier staff would paint the deck very brightly. The Indian Defense Minister said that India would soon start building a third aircraft carrier and would not be satisfied with three. The target was five to six. However, there were many problems in the manufacture of weapons and equipment in India, such as the failure or poor performance in the manufacture of bullets, fighter jets, missiles, helicopters, parachutes, etc. Its domestic aircraft carrier was also integrated with a multi-national system and had not yet formed combat effectiveness. Therefore, the Indian Navy was more worried about India's construction of a third aircraft carrier. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.

Indian military contributed aircraft carrier joke
There were many cases in which the Indian military was regarded as a joke in terms of aircraft carriers. The design of India's first domestic medium-sized aircraft carrier, the Vikrant, began in 1999. Construction began in 2005 and was launched in 2013. However, the subsequent construction and sea trials were delayed many times until 2022. What was even more ridiculous about India's aircraft carrier was its experience of buying the Gorshkov aircraft carrier (later renamed the Vikramatia) from Russia. In 1998, Russia offered to sell Gorshkov to India for $1. The aircraft carrier was paralyzed due to an explosion and had been put on hold for many years. India decided to buy it after consideration, but there were many hidden costs behind it. India had to bear the cost of aircraft carrier maintenance, which cost up to 900 million US dollars. It also bought 400 million US dollars of MiG series fighter jets under the promotion of Russia. The agreement was signed in 2004. When the aircraft carrier was delivered in 2008, the problem of the aircraft carrier had not been completely resolved. India invested about 1.4 billion US dollars. After the aircraft carrier was acquired, there were problems with the facilities on board. India gave Russia another 300 million US dollars for maintenance. Originally, they thought that one US dollar was a big bargain, but in the end, they spent nearly three billion US dollars. This series of events reflected the problems of Indian military in decision-making and trading in aircraft carrier affairs, thus becoming the object of ridicule internationally.

Indian World War II aircraft carrier
India became independent on August 15, 1947 after World War II. India's first aircraft carrier was the fifth of the Dignity class aircraft carriers built by the United Kingdom, the Hercules. The ship was built during World War II. After being purchased by India, it was added to the Indian Navy and renamed the Vickland (ship number R11). It had a full displacement of 18,000 tons. The ship was built by a civilian shipyard according to the standard of the Giant class. Later, the design was changed during the construction, and the flight deck was strengthened. After the end of World War II, it was renamed the Dignity class. Except for one ship that was abandoned, the other five ships were sold to the allies and restarted. The Hercules purchased by India was 75% completed when it was shut down in May 1946. A year later, it was moved to Gailloch, Scottish, and sealed until January 1957. India commissioned a shipyard to carry out large-scale modern modification, installing an 8-degree inclined deck and a steam catapult. After completion, the standard displacement was 16,000 tons, the full-load displacement was 19,500 tons, the total power of two steam turbine was 40,000 horsepower, the maximum speed was 25 knots, and the range was 22,000 nautical miles at 14 knots. The flight deck was 210 meters long and 39 meters wide. With this aircraft carrier, India achieved the strategic intention of Bengal's independence in the third Indo-Indian War. The aircraft carrier was dismantled at the end of the 1980s and retired about ten years after India had a second aircraft carrier. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.

Indian aircraft carrier is ahead of China by 100 years
This statement was wrong. Judging from the construction cycle of aircraft carriers, China's aircraft carrier construction efficiency far exceeded India's. China's first domestic aircraft carrier, the Shandong ship, only took six years from the start of the project to the official service to achieve the complete domestication of all equipment and supporting carrier aircraft. The first self-designed and built catapult aircraft carrier, the Fujian ship, also took less than six years from the start to the completion of the trial flight. India's first aircraft carrier took 23 years, and the second took 14 years from negotiation to delivery with constant faults. In terms of the performance of the aircraft carrier, China's Liaoning-based ship was equipped with 24 J- 15 fighter jets, and the Shandong ship was equipped with 36 J- 15 fighter jets. The J- 15 carrier aircraft's combat radius could reach about 1100 kilometers without external refuelling. India's Vikramatia aircraft carrier had a displacement of 40,000 tons and carried 24 MiG-29K and 6 Ka- 29/31 helicopters. The Vikrant was claimed to be self-developed but a large number of equipment came from a third country. The MiG-29K carrier aircraft it carried had a combat radius of only about 650 kilometers, resulting in the Vikramatia's combat radius of about 500 kilometers. In terms of cost and cost-performance ratio, the Indian aircraft carrier cost 3.2 billion US dollars (about 20 billion yuan), and the maximum displacement was only 43,000 tons, while the cost of the China Shandong ship with a full displacement of 70,000 tons was less than 30 billion yuan. In summary, China's aircraft carriers were already ahead of India in many aspects. There was no such thing as an Indian aircraft carrier being ahead of China by a hundred years.

A hundred-year-old aircraft carrier
" Eagle in the Sky " was a film and television work related to the century-old aircraft carrier dream. It mainly told the story of China's first aircraft carrier trial and the establishment and development of the first carrier-based aircraft flight brigade. With the technology honed in training, the unit overcame many technical difficulties and realized the take-off and landing of fighter aircraft on the aircraft carrier, thus promoting the successful establishment of the China aircraft carrier. However, there were many negative reviews after the show was broadcast. Netizens thought that the plot was outrageous, such as senior officers having no money to treat their families, the theme of military love going astray, etc. Moreover, although the theme was clearly about aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, these two were not shown in the show, and there were some cliché plots and unsound logic.

A century-old French aircraft carrier
France's current aircraft carrier was the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier. It was the only next-powered aircraft carrier equipped by the French Navy and officially entered service in May 2001. The flight deck of the aircraft carrier was 261.5 meters long, 64.4 meters wide, 8.5 meters of draft, 35500 tons of standard displacement, and 40600 tons of full-load displacement. The main engine was two K - 15 integrated circulating pressurized water reactors, with a total power of 76200 horsepower and a maximum speed of 27 knots. There were 1700 personnel, including 550 aviation personnel. In terms of weapons and equipment, it could carry 40 aircraft of various types, including the Rafale M fighter jet, E - 2 airborne early warning aircraft, super military flag attack aircraft, and multi-type ship-borne helicopters. The French DGN shipbuilding bureau had submitted the PA - 2 aircraft carrier construction plan to the French Armament Bureau. It would be the sister ship of the active Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, but it would use conventional power. The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier was built in the late 1980s and entered service after 15 years of construction. In the near future, the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier had many actions, such as setting sail to the Indo-Pacific region to carry out deployment missions. In addition to the aircraft carrier, its battle group may also include two frigates, an air defense destroyer, a nuclear submarine, and several auxiliary ships. It is estimated that about 3000 troops will carry out this mission. The aircraft carrier may make a "historic visit" to the philippines and Japan during the trip, and may also hold a "10-nation national performance" with nine countries including India, Indonesia, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In addition, the French Navy's elite "Charles de Gaulle" aircraft carrier was under the command of the Nato combat command for the first time during its 15-day mission in the Mediterranean, but France could withdraw its authorization at any time.

An interlude in a century-old aircraft carrier
It could be the mass ("Lightning troops are advancing" or "Lightning troops are in action"), which was the battle song of a German artillery division during World War II. It was once used as the background music of an aircraft carrier propaganda film in India. The theme song of the 100-year-old aircraft carrier was "Conquer Heaven," which was also used as the theme song of the TV series "Soldier Assault."

A hundred-year-old aircraft carrier, a Soviet aircraft carrier that has experienced twists and turns
The development of the Soviet aircraft carrier had indeed gone through many twists and turns. During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union vigorously developed its navy. The construction of aircraft carriers was an important part of its naval strategy. At its peak, it had nine aircraft carriers. However, the Soviet Union placed too much emphasis on military industry, resulting in an imbalance in its economic structure and its eventual disintegration. The disintegration of the Soviet Union had a huge impact on the global military situation. The United States became the only superpower, the huge naval legacy of the Soviet Union was divided, and the fate of the aircraft carrier became the focus of the game among the successor countries. The economic situation was the key factor that determined the fate of the aircraft carrier. Russia inherited the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. Although it was in poor condition and needed frequent maintenance, it was still an important symbol of the Russian Navy. Russia hoped to return it to its peak through modern transformation. Ukraine took over two aircraft carriers: the Varyag and the Ulyanovsk. The Varyag was incomplete at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union (only 68% completed). Due to insufficient funds and technology, it could not continue to be built. It was sold to China and later transformed into China's Liaoning-class warship. The Ulyanovsk was the first next-powered aircraft carrier that the Soviet Union intended to build. Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the construction plan was interrupted and finally dismantled. The Novorossiysk was purchased by South Korea and dismantled into scrap metal in 1997; the Baku was sold to India and became the main aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy after modernizing and upgrading; the Minsk and the Kyiv were transformed into theme parks, located in China's Shenzhenand Tianjinrespectively. The Soviet Union also had some aircraft carrier design plans. For example, the Soviet Union once had a dream aircraft carrier design, which was the largest aircraft in history. It had a unique design and performance, but the project ended in 1974 due to the death of the designer. In short, the fate of the Soviet aircraft carriers after the collapse of the Soviet Union was different, reflecting the economic, military, and strategic needs of the successor states.
