we dont have the dry dock capacity to meet the current expansion needs?

Or is your question more along the lines of why russia and not france?

Armand2REP, I agree with you in principle, but just like TrackWhack said, we don't have enough dry docks.

The Govt is thinking about it. But the problem is lack of expertise among private ship builders in building warships.

Public ship yards can sell the know how or the expertise to private ship yards.
Just to keep the business in our country.

Here Russians are getting business.
