Russia plans to deliver aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya in June 2013, said vice president of United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC)
Sergei Forafonov at the handover ceremony of frigate INS Tarkash.
"We have agreed with Indian partners that aircraft carrier Vikramaditya will be delivered after replacement of boiler insulation in 2013",

"At last, we got just what should happen", stressed Forafonov.
