INDIA (RUSSIA)
Update VIKRAMADITYA: Engine trouble confirmed. Reason for the boilers' failure said to be India refusing to have asbestos (!) for heat insulation, instead the shipyard had to use firebrick, which proved not sufficiently heatproof. Sevmash: “some defects have been detected” with three (not seven) of the eight boilers … three to four months should be enough to rectify it. Indian navy reportedly hopeful for delivery by April 2013.
One source: Aircraft carrier will return to the Sevmash shipyard at Severodvinsk on 25 Sep for “complete examination and troubleshooting”.
Another source: aviation trials to continue (rmks: ship engines up to the task?) and be completed by mid-October.
