    China's 003 Aircraft Carrier (former 002)

    Are you trying to imply that we should use Brahmos on P-8I? This is highly unlikely because US aka Uncle sam will not allow the integration of a Weopon like brahmos on its P-8Is. Not happening. As of now, for Anti-Ship role, P-8Is can carry Harpoon, we should stick to that. IL-38s of IN can...

    Yes P-8I can be used in Anti ship role using Harpoon Anti ship missiles but the thing is that P-8Is if send out too far into the sea and close to Chinese vessels will become an easy target to surface to air missiles. P-8I thus should be confined to operate close to the shore where it has support...

    All ships in the Indian Navy which can carry and fire brahmos like Talwar class frigates, Shivalik class frigates, Kolkata class destroyers, Visakhapatnam class destroyers etc.

    Don't stress upon P-8Is too much, P-8Is are mostly designed for Anti Submarine Warfare. What we need ideally is better coastal Radars which can track Chinese vessels from a far distance so that the data can be fed to a Brahmos battery located near the coast and the missile can be aimed at PLAN...

    My point states that US will at most only provide weopons supplies and intelligence and will not directly intervene in any way as you had said in a post of yours which i had quoted that US would help indirectly. PS : Maybe I misinterpreted that post of yours! :D

    We need to understand one thing here : Right now US considers China as it's greatest threat and will do anything to suppress it. Now coming to US supporting India, in my Opinion, they will not support us Militarily in the sense that they will not send a large portion of their fleet. At the...

    No one here is saying that we should ignore the threat, I said that regardless of the magnitude of the threat, we should ensure that we are well prepared to deal with it. To counter new modem threats, we need to invest our money in newer and modern Weopons systems. Yes this is very well said...

    I agree with what you say but we should not underestimate the PRC either. Remember, never underestimate your Opponent or else you will regret it. If a full scale war does happen between India and China and both countries get their navy involved then I would say that it would be a fight only...

    It's very difficult to sink an aircraft carrier especially modern ones and anyways no matter how Stealth any submarine is, ASW platforms will discover it eventually. You cannot make anything fully Stealth, you can only reduce its detection range. An AC is always armed with escorts consisting of...

    Which inflation are you talking about? I think so that you are talking with regards to whether Indian Navy has the budget to afford these or not ,well ofcource we have, but AFAIK Indian Navy doesn't have the budget to afford both SSNs as well as a 3rd Aircraft carrier at the same time. We can...

    I don't follow much about this whole matter of "3rd AC" for Indian Navy but such reports always come in the media, sometimes reports say that 3rd AC is being given more Importance over 6 SSNs and sometimes there are reports which say that 6 SSNs are being given more importantance over 3rd AC, so...

    As of now, Only France and US have nuclear Powered aircraft carriers in their navies. But China is planning to Construct an aircraft carrier known as Type-004 which will be nuclear Powered. I think so that after US and France, China will be the 3rd country to build nuclear powered aircraft...

    Type-003 will not be nuclear Powered, it is expected to use integrated electric propulsion (IEP).

    Thank you for providing the Co-ordinates, and I have looked through Google Earth and did find the Type-003 under construction at Jiangnan Shipyard, when I measured the length of the deck than I got it as 310-320 meters. Ofcource this is not 100% accurate. We will know more after it is launched.

    Where is Type-003 being constructed at? Name the Shipyard, let's see if I can draw out a measurement from Google Earth. Thanks in advance.

    Could you share the link of the website? Wikipedia data and Data posted by you from a Chinese website is Different, I think so that I will have to measure the distance myself on Google Earth.
