Dude it was a mistake to think that you could modify a 80's era cruiser in to a modern carrier for a price under a billion hence the cost increase besides we asked the Russians to put i a lot of new stuff on it so there is bound be increase in costs considering India's economy quality is more...
The newer MKI's will have new tech and upgrades to weapon systems and avionics then again the non Russian stuff on the plane don't come cheap.
If im not wrong these MKI's would be Brahmos capable:what: if so the air frame would be greatly strengthened to carry an extra 1.5++ tons of Cruise...
