AN OLD AIRCRAFT CAREER WHICH HAS 1960 ELEECTRONICS AND RUSSIAN DIALS WHICH NO ONE CAN READ. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SOLD AS SCRAP METAL. The air defense it quite bad with 1970 guns attached. This can be sunk using a regular Pakistani missle and will sink in 2 hours.. 1 MORE BILLION Dolalrs and you would have got an AMerican arcraft career which would have worked for 50 years...

Albert... Do you know that Russians are gifting the Aircraft carrier to India as a goodwill guesture. Apart, India is spending money for refitting of carrier so that she will server another 30-35 years.
Russians are making money by supplying the onboard aircrafts and spares.
I read in one of the articles that the size of Gorshkov is so big that India do not have a proper docking yard.

first learn to write English. you are not SMSing your friends here. We have been developing the LCA for last 20 years and unlike Russia and the US who had to invent everything from scratch, we had a definite advantage for the technology that was already available, we still couldnt figure out how to develop things.

Do not expect that you will get everything from others for free. God did not send these to USA in a speed post. They had to work day and night to get this. Russians sold about 10 billion worth arms to India from 1950s.
Do you think Russians had a kind heart and liked India very much.. Absolutely no. They wanted money and India and China was thier only market. Europe and Japan will not buy anything from them...
