@@Dork20 The INDIAN aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya, was designed and built by Russians.

No aircraft carrier

He doesn't time it. The takeoff is controlled by the wheel chocks being dropped by a flight controller. The pilot is there for the ride.

What are the chances that was just coincidence?

There is a video (have to find the link) of a former F-14 pilot who says that very thing.

You time yourself to release brakes when the carrier has pitched down, so that when you rotate the carrier is pitching up again

The precise timing of launch with relation to bow pitch is an inherent part of the ski ramp use, as designed by Doug Taylor of the Royal Navy for Harrier operations at sea.

Budget cuts.

@@andrewc0128 😂🤣😂

@@andrewc0128 Believe it or not, its not budget cuts that caused this. India's first indigenous carrier is also a STOBAR like this one and cost us $2.9 Billion. A carrier with similar size but CATOBAR configuration would be the French CDG class carrier which cost 3 Billion Euros. Marginal difference.

Those were some brave people. No ejector or anything, just hope you make it.

You can see here that the pilot waits for the ship to pitch down so that it is pitching back up by the time they reach the end of the ramp, it's not entirely necessary unless you are in bad weather, but on the old WW2 carriers it was mandatory - if you reached the end of the ship at the wrong time you would be straight in the drink.

Same thing would happen here if the MiG was fully loaded with fuel pods and bombs.

Notice how he times the launch for when the bow pitches up.

No brakes on a ship

@@FirstDagger - That is generally a myth. The MiG-29K (the aircraft in the video) can launch fully loaded from launch position number 3. Given a reasonable length and with a ramp that is steep enough, virtually any aircraft that can be catapulted at MTOW can also takeoff using a ski jump at MTOW. Anyway, I was sort of kidding with my top remark.

@@McRocket ; I highly doubt that the MiG-29K can launch with full load from a carrier with ramp. Please provide a source.

@@FirstDagger For the Su-33 (which is a much heavier plane) www.sinodefenceforum.com/stobar-aircraft-ski-jump-performance-su-33-j-15.t8043/ I have no interest in getting into a big debate over this. If this isn't good enough for you - tough, sorry. There are NUMEROUS sources out there that clearly show that the idea that planes cannot take-off on ski jumps at MTOW is a complete myth. Just Google for them. We are done here. Good day.

@@FirstDagger It still flew tho

@Dwarov 1 ; It was common consensus for the MiG-29K and Su-33 that they could not used with full armament and fuel from the ramped carrier. Something which Russian simulators like DCS seemed to support. Also as those newer data point claim they have to be considerably further back which limits deck use, unlike US carriers.

Pretty sure those were brakes. Anyways, it’s pretty easy to get landing gear to support the weight of this thing.

and also, they dont use the afterburner on takeoff

@@abercrombieblovs2019 Brakes can't hold back the afterburner, Eastern Aviation Cruisers have wheel stops that pops up and down to block the landing gears from moving. Look at the gears at the moment of launch, you can see small pads retracting below the main gear And they obviously use afterburner too idk what the fuck the other guy was smoking

@@datboi2232 they do. Most do. F/A-18s must always takeoff with afterburner even.

перед тем как строить авианосцы советскими учёными было подсчитано насколько целесообразно их строить, расчёты показали что если противник не банановая республика то авианосец это просто большой и очень дорогой гроб для небольшой армии высококлассных специалистов. поэтому строительство авианосцев было ограничено парой штук для престижа. от катапульты отказались потому что в северных морях технологически невозможно обеспечить стопроцентную работоспособность таких механизмов.

LMAO! good one!

@@AlexBlak3 lol, the funny thing is MIG-29 have ridiculously low ranges and inefficient engines. The carrier MIG-29k is even worse at half that range due to the weight restrictions they have to do because of their extremely primitive ramp system, on top of not being able to carry virtually any ordnance. Versus American carriers which can launch with full takeoff weight.

That's actually true, fighter jets have to be stupid light to take off from carrier without catapult, so the amount of fuel and payload is pretty strict - no heavy bombs and operation range about 600 km.

Pilot timed it

Mebbe cause we do it with intent, their doing it for effect, no load light fuel.

Just love this comment

Accurate

almost empty on fuel + no external stores...

ski-jump carriers don't use catapults. They're simpler and cheaper, but the weight of the aircraft taking off must be much more limited as a result.

@@fabiolean that is if aircraft flying off from 2 nearest launchpads, if its taking off from one farthest launchpad, then it takes full fuel and armament. In here it took off from somewhere in the middle. If you look at the video you can see yellow trajectory markings on ground for the farthest launchpad.

Insanity? No... THIS - IS - RUSSIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

They didn’t even use trust panels...Dam...

Flankers take off fully loaded all the time.

I don't see any load on that plane. I don't believe that they take off fully loaded. A catapult launch system is needed to take off fully loaded, and neither the Russians nor the Chinese have it. I hear that the Chinese may be working on the new EMALS (Electro Magnetic Aircraft Launch System) which the US Navy is also developing. The EMALS will be better than the steam catapults (cheaper, safer, more flexible) but right now the US system is TOO POWERFUL, over stressing the aircraft. Refinements are needed, so it is almost two years from operational status. The British will use EMALS on their second new carrier; the first carrier, the Queen Elizabeth, will use the F-35B STOVL (Marine) version of the F-35, which has short takeoff capability designed into the aircraft. The MiGs do not have short takeoff built into them -- a short takeoff version was dropped from production. The EMALS will probably be sold to India for their future carriers, when it is fully developed.

Bruce Gordon Than you're blind, it's got AA clearly seen on the left wing.

Nick Day - Yes, there is a small missile under the left wing. That's not much of a load. No external fuel tanks or bombs. According to Wikipedia, the MiG-29K is designed to defend the fleet, not to penetrate or attack ground targets. It can't take off with bombs and fuel tanks without a catapult. The more I learn about catapults, they are very big and very expensive. Britain's next carrier, the Queen Elizabeth, would have been too expensive with catapults. By using the F-35B STOVL aircraft, they don't need catapults. The Russians don't have any such STOVL in their inventory or planned. So, Nick, that's a very light weapon load intended for fleet defense only.

It's correct, it's not an opinion, these are facts. Payload suffers for the lack of catapults. I'm Russian, so I'm not being political here, these are just plain facts - no other country comes anywhere close to American aircraft carrier fleet capabilities.

Yeah the pilot is just flying the aircraft. *Rolls eyes*

No, see that ramp. It gave lift. Had it went on the straight runway, into the ocean.

It's a Mig 29. They have engine intakes ABOVE the fusulage as well. (Not sure that the K version has these though as they are to prevent dirt intake from a runway. Little chance of that on a carrier. But than again they are stationed on land most of the time as well.)

i mean those two trapdoors hold a lot of thrust tbh
