you’ve seen deployments where this class actually carried 30 Mig-29s? That’s shocking. I’m sure su-33 takes a lot more space, but it’s also a lot larger. And theoretically capable of supporting up to 50 fixed, rotary combined. But of course, it carries less than 1/2 of that in the two recent deployments.

Did I claimed that i have seen it carrying 30?;)
My claim is that what Soviet navy did will not be same as Indian navy migth do, as Soviet navy had lot of unique and peculiar demands and ideas towards shipborne aviation and that philosophy is clearly relevant in aircomponent of Kuznetsov, both the planned Soviet fleet one and the current Russian deployments. And you should remember that currently the aircrew is limited by the pure fact that there isent enough planes nor trained crews to make up the full component
