in a hurry! The main radar of the Indian aircraft carrier Vikrant was in service without being installed, and the iron plate covered the installation position
On September 2, 2022, India officially announced: India's first domestically-made aircraft carrier "Vikrant" was officially commissioned. The aircraft carrier commissioning ceremony, under the lens of the media, personally opened the "curtain", representing the departure of the "Vikrant". Let's take a look at the data. The cost of the "Vikrant" is 17.5 billion yuan. The captain is 262 meters long, 62 meters wide, and has a draft of 8.4 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 14-story building. The full-load displacement is about 43,000 tons, and it can carry 30 aircraft. For various types of carrier-based aircraft, it is obvious that it is a medium-sized aircraft carrier with a displacement of 30,000 to 60,000 tons. Foreigners once thought that the Indian "Vikrant" might exceed the tonnage of the "Fujian" ship under construction in our country. Now it seems that this is impossible, because the "Fujian" ship of our country is about 320 meters long and 73 meters wide. The displacement reached 80,000 tons, which is almost twice the displacement of the "Vikrant". The "Vikrant" is the largest warship built in the history of India. Therefore, the Indian people have high hopes. Both Modi and the Indian Ministry of Defense have given a very high evaluation of the "Vikrant": India has become the world's largest warship. One of the few countries with the most advanced defense technology, 75% of components are produced domestically. Looking around the world, the only countries that can produce and install aircraft carriers are the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom and France. Now, India has also joined in, which is indeed worthy of India's pride, from purchasing aircraft carriers from the United Kingdom and Russia to independent production, which is a giant leap in defense technology. However, some professionals pointed out: India is in a hurry, and the main radar of the "Vikrant" has not been installed yet. M-2248 active phased array radar, EL/M-2248 is the main radar of the ship and undertakes the main detection task. The EL/M-2248 active phased array radar was developed by Israel's IAI Elta and weighs about 7 tons. It is a multi-functional active electronically scanned array naval radar system dedicated to warships. The source array is composed of no dead angle detection, can track air, ground and sea targets, and provide fire control recommendations. EL/M-2248 adopts multi-beam technology, pulse Doppler technology and electronic countermeasure technology, can extract target information from a large number of interference clutter, can track hundreds of targets at the same time, and can track high-altitude fighters with a distance of more than 250 kilometers. It can track missiles 25 kilometers away and detect ships 450 kilometers away. However, it can be seen from the latest photos that the EL/M-2248 active phased array radar was not installed on the "Vikrant" after service, and the installation position was covered with iron plates. According to normal procedures, the ship Before delivery, all equipment, including the radar system, must be installed. No wonder the media said that the "Vikrant" was in service with injuries. The aircraft carrier is not equipped with a main radar, which means that the aircraft carrier has lost its ability to detect sea, land and air, and has no combat effectiveness at all. In the future, when Israel's EL/M-2248 radar and technical personnel are ready, the "Vikrant" will be ready. Return to the shipyard for installation, and so on and on, more than half a year has passed. The "Vikrant" still has the "short board" problem of carrier-based aircraft. All of them are "outsourced", 30 aircraft of various types, and 12 MiG-29Ks are purchased from Russia as the main carrier-based aircraft. The choice of the French Rafale and the American Super Hornet as the carrier-based aircraft has not yet been decided. The "Vikrant" is equipped with 10 Russian Ka-31 early warning helicopters and American MR-60 anti-submarine helicopters. There are only a few Indian-developed "Tejas" light fighters on the aircraft carrier, although India has repeatedly emphasized the use of its own military. Helicopter, but when will it be developed is still a big question mark. The "Vikrant" is also driven by four LM 2500 gas turbines from General Electric of the United States, but it has been licensed and produced by General Electric of the United States in Hindustan Airlines. The total power of the four LM 2500 is 80 megawatts and the speed can reach 28 knots. The speed remains at 18 knots, and the endurance can reach 7,800 nautical miles. Although 75% of the parts of the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier are domestically produced, most of the key equipment is from other countries, such as the United States, Russia, Israel, Italy and the United Kingdom. Pulled to serve, this is really too urgent. The reason why India hurriedly brought the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier into service is because India is too short of aircraft carriers. Before, India had two aircraft carriers, the aircraft carrier Virat and the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya, Vila The special aircraft carrier was built by the United Kingdom in 1944 and launched in 1953. Due to being too old, it was decommissioned from the Indian Navy in March 2017. Before the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier was commissioned, India had only one aircraft carrier in service - the Vikramaditya. The Vikramaditya was built by the former Soviet Union. It was launched in 1982, and there are now a full 40. At the beginning of the year, the lifespan of an aircraft carrier is generally about 30 to 50 years, and the Vikramaditya is also very old. Therefore, India urgently needs a new aircraft carrier to replace it.
