Alipov said, “It is a proud moment for India that they have built an indigenous flagship aircraft carrier. India is moving towards self-reliance and has shown that it is moving fast towards becoming a major global power. The world needs a super strong India."
Following the commissioning of INS Vikrant, Alipov tweeted pictures from the event and wrote, "Participated today by Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the commissioning of INS Vikrant. India's first indigenous aircraft carrier. A proud moment for the country and its people." Russia is proud to be a part of it. Jai Vikrant! Shano Varun!"
Vikrant was designed by the Indian Navy's in-house Warship Design Bureau (WDB) and built by Cochin Shipyard Limited, a public sector shipyard under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. It is the largest ship ever built in the maritime history of India.
