Describing the delay in upgradation of ‘Admiral Gorshkov’ aircraft carrier for Indian Navy as the “sole” irritant in bilateral ties, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday ordered the shipbuilders to speedily complete the work or else it will have “serious consequences”.
“In fact the ‘Gorshkov’ project has become the sole problem in Russian-Indian relations,” Medvedev said during a visit to the Sevmash shipyard in the White Sea town of Severodvinsk.
Medvedev agreed that it was Russia’s first project which was “very difficult”, but said that the Russian side had taken certain obligations in the course of negotiations on the Gorshkov deal with the Indian partners.
