very reasonable.but I'm not sure if strike is considering secondary.you know ,the most important reason why China develop AC is that we need the AC to protect our territory in the south sea .the potential enemy is some country like Vietnam,when faceing the Vietnam's SU30,I don't think light class flighter like J10 can fix this job easily even if with the support of other ships in fleet like 052C.Besides I don't think the duty of flighters in Chinese CA should be limited in fleet defense,you know Chinese fleet lack the aerodynamic missile to attack the target on land,so we also need heavy class flighter to do a long-distance attacking mission.So is the F4 Phantom. The carrier aircraft does not depend on the wing shape or design. The Carrier aircrafts must carry a decent weapon load climb up fast and intercept the incoming threat be it by sea or by air. In case of India and China the Aircraft carriers are for fleet defense, Strike is secondary. So a delta wing is a far more compatibile design for quick climb and interception. smaller size and large number of decent aircraft are better.
