It takes a very canny person to ' screw over ' the Indian Navy - BAe tried it, and failed miserably- I was there !
God knows what it's costing to rejuvinate the Russian carrier, but I suppose the temptation to fly off Mig 29's was too great to resist.
In an ideal world Invincible would have been stored & maintained in dry dock, but as long as her hull is sound the rest is an opportunity to fit the latest kit, as long as one has suitable aircraft...
