India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS (Indian Naval Ship) Vikrant, set out on maiden sea trials off the coast of Kochi on Wednesday. The carrier, which will be commissioned in August next year, will join the INS Vikramaditya as India’s second aircraft carrier. The 44,500-ton Vikramaditya, a modified Kiev-class carrier of Russian origin, was commissioned by the Indian Navy in 2013. India’s earlier aircraft carriers, one also named INS Vikrant (now decommissioned) and the INS Viraat, were originally the British-built HMS Hercules and HMS Hermes. The carriers were commissioned into the navy in 1961 and 87, respectively. The 40,000-ton Vikrant will be fully operational around mid-2023 after aircraft complete flight trials on the vessel. These aircraft will include Russian MiG 29K fighters, American MH-60R multi-role helicopters, and indigenous Advanced Light Helicopters. Additionally, the aircraft carrier will also carry Kamov-31 Early Warning Helicopters.
