E outra, a Índia tem os dois pés e as duas mãos atrás com os EUA. Procure sobre a história deles e leia sobre um passeio de uma frota numa baía deles, com direito a bombardeio de porto e tudo.
Mas quem sabe o tempo apagou as marcas, né?
Não duvido nem um pouco do interesse, mas essas notinhas aí... Tá parecendo aquelas depois do NJ na França, lembra?
Carlos,
O "Estadao" abaixo serve?
- Jornais russos tb publicam a noticia que a Marinha Indiana questionou a Boeing sobre essa possibilidade.
- A Boeing confirma e diz:
Rietz told reporters at Lemoore, which holds half of the US Navy’s striking power in the Pacific, “In our simulation, we discovered that not only could the Super Hornet take-off from a ski-jump, but could do so with a significant weapons load.” Landing the Super Hornet on the Gorshkov would pose no problem since the warship comes equipped with an arrester cable.
- A Mig negou que ha negociacoes entre a Forca Aerea Indiana e a Boeing. Obvio, ha um processo competitivo em andamento.
- Especialistas russos dizem que o SH teria dificuldades para operar no PA russo. Sera?
- Blog indiano diz:

The Indian Navy's Hornet Query
(...)
Once the query was received, Boeing procured general parameters of the Gorshkov from the Indian Navy -- including length, ski-jump angle, angled deck characteristics -- in short everything required for a simulation. Fed into a system, the simulation suggested, supposedly in no uncertain terms, that the Super Hornet -- which so far was dogmatically associated with a steam-catapult launcher -- could indeed take off from a conventional carrier deck like that of the Gorshkov, Virat or the Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (which, in all likelihood, is set to be the second INS Vikrant). Boeing added as an adjunct in its response to the Navy, that the Super Hornet could not only take-off and land reliably on such carriers, but that it could do so with a respectable weapons load, which is the whole point. The simulated aircraft took off with a six-pylon config with close-combat, intermediate air-to-air and anti-ship munitions.

Aqui ha espaco para especulacoes. Entre os concorrentes do MMRCA, o unico pronto para operar em PA eh o SH. O Rafale oferecido nao deve ser da versao naval e o Mig-35 nao eh o Mig-29K. E as propostas jah foram entregues.

India eyes U.S. F-18s for its Russian-built aircraft carrier
15:11 | 22/ 05/ 2008
MOSCOW, May 22 (RIA Novosti) - The Indian Navy has asked Boeing for the use of its F/A-18E/F Super Hornet supersonic carrier-based fighter aircraft on board a Russian-made carrier, Russian daily Izvestia said on Thursday.
A Boeing spokesman confirmed that his company had received a request from India for use of the fighters on board the Vikramaditya, formerly named the Admiral Gorshkov.
Russia was to start deliveries of MiG-29K Fulcrum-D carrier fighters to India for the Admiral Gorshkov in May.
The contract, signed in January 2004, stipulates the delivery of 12 single-seat MiG-29Ks and four two-seat MiG-29KUBs by 2009, to be later deployed on the Admiral Gorshkov, currently being retrofitted in Russia for the Indian Navy.
A MiG spokesman denied any knowledge of negotiations between the Indian Air Force and Boeing.
Russian military experts have said using F-18 Super Hornets on the Admiral Gorshkov would pose difficulties.
After long-running delays and disputes, Russia and India agreed in February to raise refit costs for the aircraft carrier, berthed at the Sevmash shipyard in north Russia for the past 12 years.
The carrier is to replace India's INS Viraat, which although still operational is 50 years old.
India contracted the $1.5 billion Admiral Gorshkov for its navy in 2004. Moscow has since demanded an additional $1.2 billion, a sum New Delhi has called exorbitant.
