Preparedness is paramount
The Defence Minister says, that military interaction with the
US should not impact the long standing ties with Russia. The Naval Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta sings a different note, when he says that Russia’s dilly-dallying over the aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov price would almost force India to “ponder where our defence relations are going to’’ with Moscow. All this confusion among the policy makers has been caused by the Russia hiking up the price to refurbish the carrier by staggering $1.2 billion. The 44,570-tonne Gorshkov, was slated to fly the Indian naval ensign by August 2008 as per the $1.5-billion package deal signed in January 2004. This sudden announcement by Russia to increase the rates & to push back the delivery to 2012-13, has in fact, put paid to the naval plans to have a robust blue-water force. And this has led many in the naval circles to look Westwards to fulfill the need. “The American nuclear powered carrier, Kitty Hawk, is likely to be available shortly, India should start looking elsewhere if the Russians are acting tough,” Commodore (retd.) G. Sharma, the MD with Northman Grumman India told B&E.
The politicians & the navy cannot hum different notes at such a crucial juncture in the nation’s history, when it is in the process of making a paradigm shift in its foreign & defence policy.
