Indian Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh on Thursday said that the Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) INS Vikrant will be commissioned by August 2022.

To directly threaten Pakistan, the small-deck carriers will have to maneuver closer to “anti-access / area denial” weapons which could sink them.

Referring to the first sea trial of the IAC-1, Admiral Singh said that the ship had performed at 100% power in a short duration and had undergone tests for its endurance, hull and sea-keeping. 

After witnessing the second sea trials, the minister impressed upon the Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) to ensure timely delivery of the ship in April 2022

INS Vikrant is a symbol of pride for New Delhi, and the warship has highlighted the shipbuilding capabilities of India.
