| Summary, etc. |
The paper takes a critical look at various issues connected with India's acquisition of the Russian aircraft carrier, the Admiral Gorshkov. It examines India's choice of fighter and various problems it is likely to face in making the carrier operational and fully effective for its task. It recommends the early acquisition of aerial refuelling and early warning systems by the Navy. The paper also argues for greater jointmanship among the services and an increase in specialist cross-postings in order to improve inter-service rapport and the pool of trained manpower. - Reproduced. |
