In the global military field, China's Fujian ship is like a dazzling new star, marking the country's entry into a new era of supercarriers. This behemoth is not only famous for its astonishing displacement of 80,000 tons, but also for its cutting-edge technology. Against this backdrop, the Indian military's rhetoric is quite ostentatious, claiming that even if China has such a supercarrier, its technology will still lag behind India by decades, which is undoubtedly a miscalculation of the Fujian ship's strength.
The Fujian's electromagnetic catapult system and its revolutionary straight deck design are symbols of its strength. This is not only part of the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier program, but also a huge leap forward in the country's aircraft carrier technology research and development. China's ambitious plans for the future of aircraft carriers are intended to further enhance the depth and breadth of its maritime power.
However, looking at India, the situation of its aircraft carriers is not optimistic. After many years of service, the Chaori King had frequent performance problems, fire and mechanical failures, and even recorded the simultaneous failure of seven major steam turbines. In addition, the Russian-designed lift limits the choice of carrier-based aircraft, significantly reducing its combat effectiveness. And the situation of the Vikrant is not much better than that of the Chao Ri King, whose construction has been repeatedly delayed since the start of construction in 2009, and technical problems have arisen one after another, from propulsion systems to avionics.
Comparing Chinese and Indian aircraft carriers, China's Fujian ships are equipped with advanced radar systems, excellent reconnaissance and target positioning capabilities, and can carry a large number of modern carrier-based fighters. Its well-developed defense systems, such as anti-aircraft missiles and close-in weapons, guarantee the ability to counter air and sea threats. The commissioning of the Fujian will undoubtedly further enhance the overall combat strength of the Chinese Navy and demonstrate China's determination as a maritime power on the international stage.
At the same time, the actual combat effectiveness of Indian aircraft carriers raises concerns. Underneath the spectacle lies a cascade of technical failures and maintenance problems. This not only highlights India's challenges in aircraft carrier construction and maintenance, but also hints at its shortcomings in maintaining aircraft carrier combat effectiveness.
In general, aircraft carriers are not only a symbol of naval strength, but also require the country to have continuous and stable technical support and a perfect logistics support system. In this regard, China has shown its strong potential and determination, while India still has a long way to go.
