Russia May Equip Indian Aircraft Carrier With Air Defense Systems


Russia may install its air defense systems on the Indian Vikramaditya aircraft carrier, Nevskoye Planning and Design Bureau General Director Sergei Vlasov said Wednesday.

In November 2013, the refurbished Vikramaditya, formerly known as the Admiral Gorshkov, was commissioned by India for a record-breaking $2.35 billion after almost a decade of negotiations with Russia since the initial $947 million deal for the purchase of the ship was signed in 2004.

Russia May Become Partner in India's Aircraft Carrier Project


"At that time, the Indians refused to install Russian air defense systems on the Vikramaditya, but we have reserved space there for our air defense systems… This is allowed under our contract," Vlasov told RIA Novosti.


Along with the aircraft carrier, India also bought 12 single-seat MiG-29Ks and four two-seat MiG-29KUBs for $526 million.

In 2015, representatives of the Russian Sevmash shipbuilding company and the Indian Navy signed a contract for technical assistance in the maintenance of the aircraft carrier during the period not covered by warranty.
 
I hope its the naval variant of the s400 as mounted on the russian cruiser MOSKVA. No aircraft or drone can launch anti carrier missile against VIKRAMADITYA CBG.

We will anyway install barak8 as well.

Good going India
They are talking about SRSAM & CIWS not S 400
