Russia demand more money for Admiral Gorshkov

INdia shall just go begged China. Chinese is reliable. Once a deal signed. No matter what we will delivered according to the stated date even at a loss of money..

We have Liaoning Cv-16 to prove our capabilites in mending your Admiral Gorshkov :D

But seriously, I dont think its Russia fault. They give advise but you decide to go against their wish regarding the boiler shield. For example, I am an experience mechanics. I know how to fix your car but you as an owner are to proud to listen to my advise and insist on going non traditional ways to fix it. Then I will not bear responsible for any consequence. If anything happen, of cos I will demand more money to fix it.

wake me up when a fighter lands on it :cheesy:

oh boy, either the russia make bank off of india or they get a free carrier, damn they cant lose lol
 
.
I think that's an obvious choice if you dont have other alternative....but piss Russian is the last thing you want to do, one of the reason that Russia don't want to sell top military export hardware to China is because India...they have alway sell you the best compare China such Su-27 and SU-30MKI and make sure you have advantage over China. but if you don't buy anthing from them...they can unlock advance military equiments to sell to China to piss you back...and the end we Chinese WIN :D

Oh...my dear friend Russia don't want to sell TOP hardware to you is because you Copy-Paste it. It has nothing to do with India. China was biggest arm imported in last decade. Guess who was exporting :D
And I think India has rejected a lot of Russian hardware in recent deals

Earlier, the indigenous aircraft carrier project suffered a two years delay when truck carrying important equipment met an accident. Both the aircraft carrier are crucial for the Indian Navy’s policy to gain maritime advantage in the Indian Ocean Region – spread from Gulf of Aden in the east to Malacca Strait in the west – as the force envisages to have one aircraft carrier each for its two coasts.

I am sorry but I just laughed my backside off this one. Really??? lmao:rofl:

Russia is not helping you as a friend in past and even now. You paid them good money and they do you a service. Its called business. It's funny you treat business as friendship?

If you don't understand anything then you should ask rather than making any conclusion.

Totally agree with this. Russia and India have good relations, but its a transactional, business and political relationship. Why would countries be buddies? Thats retarded to think so. Back in the days of the cold war, it was cold war politics that helped us. America sided with Pakistan, and therefore the Soviet Union sided with India. That relationship has continued to this day, yes, and I think there is lots of experience in dealing with Russian defence industries, but that doesnt make them friends in the truest sense.

But this is the same kind of relationship between Pakistan and China as well.

BTW is Russia trying to make money off of India just because they have lost a lot of contracts? :lol: I seriously think we should either:

1. Scrap the project. But that will be stupid considering so much of work has already gone into it.
2. Bring the damn ship to India, and fix it HERE. Use that experience in building the INS Vikrant as well!

I dont understand why ships are being built in Russia. FFS.

The ship was being built in Russia because that was the condition of the gifting contract. India has already paid the money for it, so scraping it right now would mean forfeiting all that payment. Also, if you bring the ship to India, it would constitute a breaking of the contract, and Russia can simply refuse.

I have to say the Russians are shrewd businessmen, haha.

There is nothing too shrewd about this. Any shrewd businessman knows that the best business is repeat business. They are already starting to lose out on contracts, and this will set them behind even more. Not very shrewd.

forget about your money...you gonna get a floatting casino as consolation :rofl: we payed 20 millions, you payed 2.3 billions :rofl:

IIRC , 2.3 billions were for overhauling Gorshkov and upgrading it to Vikramadithya + MiG29K

While the 20 millions you payed was for the floating casino varyag .........:lol:

Come and jump when you actually know how much they spend overhauling it to the Shaolin or whatever it is and also the amount it took them to copy Su33 .........:wave:
 
.
We have got in to the deal and spent our money, the only option is to complete the project and get out ASAP.
Personally I dont trust the news as of now coz I dont think the Russians are that stupid to throw rest of the contracts out of the window just to gain a few million dollars.

The difference is we have PLAN Liaoning under our control and an important learning exercise gained!

You delusional cheerleaders are still happy with your sloppy deal plus cost and time over-running getting out of hand. How much can all the fuss help you build your own vessel?

Willing to copy and the ability of reverse engineering is totally different concept bro...

Except for the bold part, i totally agree with you.

In this case, India has no option but to bend down and take it one more time. India had spent too much on it already. Hope that India would buy American in the future and save itself from all these headache
 
.
Gorshkov make India a big joke on the world, others think that India was played by Russia, but India had spent too much on it already and can't stop it,

at last make the mending cost higher than a new one

Buddy its the problem of my country, instead of acquiring important tech. even through reverse engineering which even defense officers have said to acquire it anyhow, we take it on ego and pride while countries like Russia demands more and more.

Should we be ethical to some extent, yes but if the other party is not showing it, its better to take things on our hand and do what's necessary.

If people of India can understand the benefits of reverse engineering, they will find that time involved in developing critical weaponry will drastically reduce so will the COST.

The money saved can be invested in other projects then.

In defense, no need to take higher ground of being ethical. Are US, France, GB, Russia ethical when they sell their product, some refuses to give important tech. and may impose sanctions at war time, some asks too much money and we have to pay a lot for it no matter how much we try to bargain.
