A Naval war for control of the Indian Ocean looks like it will happen in the future—maybe as part of WW III? India is wise to build its navy up—but she shouldn’t count on old Russian ship—she would be better off with US vessels or English ships.
I doubt India will buy another Russian aircraft carrier after the last debacle. Unlike China, India has a history of operating aircraft carriers. Also unlike China, India launched it’s first home built aircraft carrier this month.
