Before, people always laughed at the Indian aircraft carrier for all kinds of "short, poor and frustrated". Unexpectedly, its domestic "Vicrant" just had just been "three days away from the military" and was about to "see each other with admiration". According to media reports, the Vikrant is actually equipped with tall fire robots.

Of course, the so-called "robot" is just a general reference. In fact, it is an unmanned remote-controlled fire truck. What is commendable is that this fire robot is actually made in India. The specific production unit is Swadeshi, an Indian company specializing in the production of fire-fighting equipment. The products include fire-fighting remote-controlled submersibles. This time, the aircraft carrier "Vicrant" was equipped with it based on it, and it also gave an appropriate name, called SPRINT "Sprint".

Although SPRINT is just a remote-controlled fire robot, compared to the tractors on Indian aircraft carriers or Russian aircraft carriers that directly carry fire trucks on land, it is indeed necessary to "replace the cannon with a bird gun". Although it only carries the fire water gun , the water and fire foam are still connected to the aircraft carrier's fire protection system, and there is still a lot of gap with the special fire trucks that can operate independently on the Chinese and American aircraft carriers. Fortunately, there are fire hydrants everywhere on the aircraft carrier, so there is no big problem.
is so happy, the tires won’t melt, right?
, and as tall as fire robots, there is also the carrier-based aircraft of the domestically produced aircraft carrier in India. According to a report by the website of " Hindustan Times " on December 8, after half a year of testing, the French "Ragave" M is considered to be "more in line with the needs of the navy", which means that the US F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" carrier-based aircraft has been rejected. Previously, the two flew to the Indian Navy's training base in January and June this year to conduct on-land ski jump takeoff tests.

In fact, the outside world has always believed that "Rawn" M has a greater advantage. On the one hand, it is because Indian Air Force has been equipped with "Rawn" fighter . From the perspective of logistics universality, carrier-based aircraft is definitely more suitable to choose "Rawn" M. On the other hand, in February this year, when the bidding just started, India took the " Gust " and made various changes, and made the LCA and "gust" and "squeezing monster" models, and announced with high profile that it would be placed on the aircraft carrier. This shows India's love for "gust" M. This time, "Super Hornet" is considered to "study with the prince".
From this stitching monster, you can see India's love for gust M
However, even though the Indian Navy has selected "gust" M now, it still faces two difficulties. First of all, the Vikrant has been in service for several months, and now it has only selected carrier-based aircraft. Several years have passed when it is delivered to service in batches. To form combat effectiveness, it still takes more time. Will the Vikrant run directly "naked" during this long period of time?
may use MiG 29K first for a while
Secondly, as long as you look at the two elevators of the "Vicrant", you will find that it is a bit scary and the hangar door is even narrower. It is said that Russia tailored the MiG 29K when designing it, to prevent India from "transcending with others". If you choose "Super Hornet" for this size, it may be barely enough, but India chose "Gust" M. You should know that the wings of the "Gulp" M cannot be folded, and its wingspan is far greater than the folded MiG 29K. I really don't know how India plans to stuff the "Gulp" M into the hangar of the "Vicrant", or in other words, India has never thought about it at all?
gusts cannot let go of
even the "stitch monster" must be folded wings
