Does India really need an aircraft carrier or it is just to show the muscular bulge of our defense force? As the enemy countries are our neighbors, investing in such an expensive that too a deal strung with so many strings that we would be only dancing to the tunes of the selling country even though we might have the carrier with us. Even if we wanted to use the carrier to ward off danger, strings will be pulled by the selling nation and we would just whimper back, sit and watch things go against us. We have pretty good navy force without a carrier and air raids could be carried out from any place nearer to borders of our enemy nation. Forget the carrier, both from Russia and US, try to build your own and use the funds to become self-reliant in various areas of defense equipment and maintenance. Let countries like US, France, Britain, etc. keep begging us to purchase their wares but do not get hooked to their vested lies and smart talks. If they want India to stand out in Asia, let them kick the backs of our enemy nation. Let them give us a moral support. This, they will not do as it will not generate money for them. They need to divide and create arms race in Asia so that they can benefit by poking their noses and keep profiting from the situation. Let us just stop relying on them or at least let us also start playing games and try to get benefit out their desire to sell us their wares.
