Became aware of the starting price of the decommissioned aircraft carrier in Brazil, "Sao Paulo".

AT 2017 Brazil, the Ministry of Defense has decided to withdraw the aircraft carrier, which is more than half a century, from the Navy. But did not know for a few months, the authorities of Brazil, that "Sao Paulo" to do after the withdrawal from the naval forces of the country. As a result, it was decided to set the aircraft carrier ship for auction. The starting price of the aircraft carrier "Sao Paulo" announced at 1,275 million dollars. It is about a starting price announced the Brazilian Defense Ministry.
Now the main question is how, who dare to be purchased from the Brazilian aircraft carrier, from the time of launching is executed shortly 60 years.
Military experts of the Chinese edition of EastDay ironically wrote about, that the first interest in the possible acquisition of an aircraft carrier, "Sao Paulo" in Brazil, expressed in India. Though China itself is not acquired a decommissioned aircraft carrier. In this case, said the media call India “the main buyer-foreign weapons”.

If statements, India is interested in the 60-year-old aircraft carrier, written off at first by France, then Brazil, They are true, it can be stated, that the only attractive aspect for India, probably, was price. But what it will be in the end - until the matter.
