Rostec begins work on Indian aircraft carrier
Rostec's Technodinamika has begun installation supervision of marine hydraulic systems on the Indian Navy's Vikramaditya aircraft carrier.
The GS-1MF and GS-3 marine hydraulic systems are used to refuel, clean and pressurise aircraft and helicopterhydraulic systems which form part of the aircraft carrier's air-capable wing.
Under the modernisation project, Technodinamika will carry out work to install equipment, commission and supervise sea trials of the vessel.
Vikramaditya is a deep modernisation of the Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier. It was designed to replace the Viraat carrier, which has reached the end of its service life.
Igor Nasenkov, CEO of Technodinamika, said: ‘Installation supervision of marine hydraulic systems at Vikramaditya is an important step in the upgrade of what is currently the most powerful aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy.
‘The Vikramaditya project is extremely promising taking into account the long-term development programme of the Indian aircraft fleet, under which by 2027 it will acquire two more ships.’
