Yes even IAC-2 (conventional propulsion) will be CATOBAR.

3rd carrier is required, but they haven't frozen the requirements for that ship yet. *and then stop* - its not possible to stop because Vikramaditya will retire by 2040, only a few years after IAC-2 is commissioned, and IN still requires a 3-carrier fleet. Something like IAC-3 will have to be...

The one on right is most probably the P75A/SSN but the one on left appears to be just Arihant, not S-5.

Commissioning announced for September 2! Somebody on Twitter visualized what an SH could look like on the Vik, in place of the -29K:

You tell me. They have as many submarines as you if not more.

In the same way how North Korea has the world's largest submarine fleet.

I don't see much merit in carrying out transactions in a currency as heavily manipulated as the Renmimbi, at any given point its several orders of magnitude more unreliable than the USD on its worst day. It's okay for countries that have no other choice (like Russia) but not for most anyone...
