US finds India-made aircraft carrier non-operational: Report
American naval engineers have reportedly found India's first locally made INS Vikrant-class aircraft carrier to be non-operational. The engineers who inspected the carrier in Kochi in February, expecting it to be battle-ready, said it wouldn't be operational for up to a decade. The carrier's gearboxes, construction, design and jet launching system fell short of the team's expectation, it added.
