Описание: INS Vikrant, India's first home-built aircraft carrier, was formally commissioned today after completing almost a year of sea trials. The 45,000-tonne warship has been built at a cost of ₹ 20,000 crore.
262 metres long and 60 metres wide, INS Vikrant is the largest warship to be built in India. It can have 30 aircraft on board, including MiG-29K fighter jets and helicopters. The warship can accommodate a crew of nearly 1,700.
With INS Vikrant, India joins a select group of nations, such as the US, UK, Russia, China and France, that can design and build their own aircraft carriers.
