    I hope that this bloody talks fails and india gets rid of it...it better buy the USS kitty hawk and some f 18's along with it...and when it is at it scrap the mig 35 from the MCRA and go for a typhoon.
    I am sick and tired of the russian black mailing....

    India is making its own aircraft carrier.

    Let the russians sell it to chinese or who wants to buy it at this time of recession.

    Virat is operational.By the time it ends its life period we will have a indian made aircraft carrier up and running,Kitty hawk is on its way.

    Scrap the russian junk
