Panaji - The Navy has been replacing old platforms and
adding new ones for the past few years.

Indian Navy's indigenously-built aircraft carrier would
be launched on August 12 this year, while INS
Vikramaditya (purchased from Russia) will arrive before
the end of 2013, Union Defence Minister AK Antony said on
Panaji on Saturday.

"INS Vikramaditya is going to be a reality, as promised
the ship would be delivered before the end of this year,"
Antony told reporters after the commissioning of fighter
aircraft MiG29K into Navy at INS Hansa in Panaji.

"While on one side Vikramaditya is coming this year, on
August 12 we are going to launch indigenous aircraft
carrier at Cochin," he said, without elaborating further.
