Why do you need to announce it? Can't you announce it after you start work? How is the IAC-1 coming along?

They will tell you they are the biggest democracy, so they have to talk long before they do.

OMG ... projected 10 years built time?!! And how likely is this given the fact that not even IAC-1 is close to being finished??

They probably had a wake up call with IAC-1 and hence is giving a slightly more realistic 10 year build period. It took China almost 5 years to refurbish, learn and create the necessary skills with Liaoning. Those skills were used on 002 Shandong, and hence it only took us 5 years to complete that ship. Judging by Indian efficiency and the state of their shipbuilding industry, it will take them at least 15 years to complete a single carrier if commissioning is included.

No worry, they can always find some "foreign suppliers" to blame on.
