I think rediff should get some better folks to comment on such matters. 1) Gorshkov has already been signed and India has already paid money...I think USD 800 millions.Beacuse of Gorshkov India signed the Mig 29 deal (naval version) and infact India will start getting the delivery from next year 2) Gorshkov was supposed to join this August but now may come in 2011 but the deal is done 3) India will get all the high tech gizmos with Gorshkov not with Kitty Hawk 4) india has lot more at stake with Russia like brahmos, Su 30, Akula, Amur Class, Frigates, Smerch, T 90s. So India is not a fool just for Kitty Hawk which itself will be decomisinoned to kill Gorshkov. 5) yes instead of refurbishing Viraat they may opt for Kitty Ahwk (as a stop gap) before Gorshkov and indegineous AC joins So rediff please do not publish such crap
