How India Built INS Vikrant From Scratch | Firstpost Ripple | N18G

How does a 45,000-tonne aircraft carrier launch fighter jets in the middle of the ocean? In this episode of The Ripple, we break down the incredible engineering behind INS Vikrant (IAC-1). India's first indigenously designed and built aircraft carrier, and one of the most advanced warships ever constructed by the country.

From indigenous warship-grade steel and powerful gas turbine engines to the STOBAR launch system, ski-jump deck, arrestor wires, MF-STAR radar, Barak-8 missile defence system, and its floating-city design, this video explains how INS Vikrant operates as a self-contained naval airbase capable of protecting India's maritime interests.

You'll also discover why building an aircraft carrier is considered one of the toughest engineering achievements in the world, why only eight countries possess this capability, and how INS Vikrant represents a major milestone in India's journey toward defence self-reliance.
Whether you're interested in military technology, engineering, geopolitics, naval warfare, or India's defence sector, this documentary-style breakdown is for you.
