Russian President Dmitry Medvedev today said that modernisation of the Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier should be completed as soon as possible so that it can be delivered to India in 2012, as the project had become the sole irritant in Russian-Indian relations.
"This is the first, very difficult experience. The ship must be finished. Otherwise there will be serious consequences," Medvedev said.
India and Russia have yet to agree on the cost of overhauling the Admiral Gorshkov for the Indian Navy to be renamed Vikramaditya, RIA Novosti reports.

Those are very strong words from the Russian Premier
ReplyDeleteThere are rumours of the MCRA going to the American F 18 rather than the MiG 35.
All this because of this contract.
The ruskies caused a lot of trouble for this.
Changed the price
Late delivery.etc
The Americans offered the US kitty hawk for free if India was willing to buy F18 along with it.
Now Russia is also getting close to Pakistan amd china by approving the sale of RD 33 engine, this has irritated the Indians a lot.
I personally want the MIG 35 to win.
