Why is india going for aircraft carriers which are soon to be decommisioned?? Instead of wasting billions of dollars on them, India should go for advanced technology

Dear Nand Kumar,
I would like to clarify you that we are just pruchasing what is stop gap arrangement India has capacity to built its own AC and they are under construction.
We use to buy these Ships overseas because such a ship needs atleat 7-10 years to built nad commisioned to the navy.
Now with AG we are reducing the time for aquisition from the indegineous manufacturing. We have choosed the bnest from the avialable options. AG deal is not poor infact we are buying a new AC with the 1/3rd price from the existing market. By the time AG reiers we will be having at least two of our indegineous manufactured warships.

Well, it is not the case only with War Machines but with Leadership as well. India always opts for Dud, Dying & Defunct Leaders. They are fit to be Decommissioned but enjoy a lease of extended lives with the blessings of Greedy Honchos & Foolish Voters.
