note: according to some sources the ship's internal condition arent as bad as u think it is........ pla will likely to turn this ship into a traning platform and it would be a good experience for maintain and operate the carrier.....
r u kidding me? Gorshkov/Vikramaditya was in Kiev class(2nd generation russian carrier) desgined as a helicopter criuser(limited space for fixed wing aircrafts) in the first place! then they modified and sold to india as a AC....
Gorshkov is about 45,000-45,500 tons full load
instead...
if pakistani is gona build an AC then i should hear some news about pakistan purchase 052B DDG, 052C DDG, 054A FFG, 093 SSN and a few navalized j-10s....... lol (basicly those kinda modern Destoryers, Frigates, and nuclear subs are the cheapest ones u can get in the whole world)
both air-forces helps to decrease the human population..... (the only thing i can think of is this environmental issue..... btw i am not being racist here i just hate wars.....)
so does the Han dynasty where chinese defeated the barbarians invision while roman collapse.....
and during Ming dynasty where china sucessfully defeated the japs in korea!
