Huh. As if the US needs tech from China.

It was not the tech, I was referring to..It was US finding out the real capabilities of their so called Killer missile.
How thick the paint is etc etc. It could also expose another espionage PRC has indulged in.

They system works on static targets till date and guided with help of UAVs, Iran has the technology and used on static targets only..

This so call carrier killer is Media invention and over rated only by media..

What if China uses its Dong Feng-21D carrier killer missile? The Pakistanis may get the technical knowhow for these missiles and may use Chinese satellites.

INS Vikramaditya to undergo sea trials from June


The sea-trials of INS Vikramaditya would be held from June in the North Sea before its final hand-over in December, Russian Ambassador to India Alexander M Kadakin said on Friday.

INS Vikramaditya, which was undergoing repairs at Russia's Servmash shipyard, would be having sea trials in the North Sea soon, he told reporters.Originally named Admiral Gorshkov, the aircraft carrier was purchased by India from Russia in 2004.

It would be delivered in December as per the schedule, Kadakin said.

On the delay in the delivery of the warship, Kadakin said, "If you want a healthy baby, don't try to organise birth. The baby is ready now and would be exercising in North Sea from next month onwards."

He said Russia would ensure that the ship undergoes sophisticated exercises.

He also remarked that it was strange that much had been written about delay in handing over Vikramaditya but no one was questioning the delay in delivery of Scorpene submarines (Indo-French technology transfer initiative) which has been delayed by five years.

Well, I pray to the Good Lord that the boiler issue was the last delay. Heaven help Russia if it isn't....

It's not like India can really return the carrier or order the Russians to scrap it. Most of the money has already been paid...
