Oh well the topic sayz all. This thread is about naval operations to sink an aircraft carrier ranging fom the Soviets vs Americans to the Pakistanis vs Indians. Discuss the possible elements needed to strike at an aircraft carrier like submarines, martme strike aircraft etc. No Flames, im keeping a eye on this forum myslef.
Frankly speaking on an indo-pak scenario i think that the PN has a chance of damaging the Gorshkov but not sinking it. As the viraat is probably going to be operating along with the Gorshkov its the same kind of protection for it. Airstrikes are difficult and so are Submarines so it possible tht it can be hit only by a small FAC, when the Indian taskforce is operating close enough to pakistani shores to allow a combined arms operation.
