Malfunctions during sea trials of the Indian Navy aircraft carrier
Vikramaditya, refitted by a Russian shipyard, will delay the vessel’s
handover to India yet again, Kommersant business daily reported on
Monday.
The delay is the latest in a string of hold-ups in the refit of the
ship, in a defense deal that has become a shipwreck of its own.
The Vikramaditya, formerly the Russian Navy's Admiral Gorshkov, was
to have been handed over to India on December 4 after ongoing sea trials following a much-delayed refit that has gone massively over-budget. The deadline has now been postponed again until October 2013.
