only the empty hull is cheap. the stuff they put on it probably in billion of dollars range..
i think the chinese navy will use it as a helicopter carrier untill their pilots and j-15's fleet is fully ready to take on.
I think India can do better than letting the Russians refit the Gorshkov. I don't quite understand why India does not ask Russia to build a new Kuznetsov Class from scratch. Alternatively, India could buy Gorshkov and try to refit by their own engineers. Yes India may encounter lots of difficulties in the process, but these are valuable experiences that can be used for India' indigenous AC.
It's not possible. If you know Indian shipyard. You will know they have not choice but to bite the bullet and ask Russia to do the refit. Unless India start to invest billions in shipyard facilities. But that will mean waiting for another 10 years.
Even the indigenuous carrier is just bull. The work has stopped as they encounter difficulties.
Sir, you will be dispointed soon. Be aware that China is not India and do not think in your Indian way.
[/QUOTE]All world know it is impossible for India to refit.

It's not possible. So what the empty hull is floated? Does it mean it can be ready soon or next year? You all can say what u want. It will not be ready next year or sooner. That is the problem of India. Always too ambition and simplify the difficulties.

If you have some knowledge and know some history of Soviet Union. Russia shipyard quality is even worst than China.
The shipyard that can build large ship is at Ukraine. After Soviet collaspe, Ukraine inherit the facilities.
Ever heard of Russia needed to buy Mistral LHD from France?
Define quality.
So where have all of the ships that have been build after 1991 come from? All the ships that are under construction, where are they being built?
Ever heard of the reason as to why the Mistral was purchased? It has nothing to do with ability to built the ship but the time required to built the ship. The Russian Navy needs and wants a Mistral type ship as soon as possible, it does not want to wait 10 years for a similar type ship to be designed, have a shipyard built or modified to accommodate, wait years for the ship to be completed, begin sea trials, and finally get commissioned.
And in case you did not know, one Mistral in under construction in Vladivostok while another is to be laid down in Sevastopol. So much for your claim that Russia has no facilities to construct large ships.
