I dont think we need any aircraft carrier. Basically aircraft carriers are for power projection only and in case of large coastline areas. We should better invest in submarines, naval surface fleets and land based fighter aircrafts.

China(possibly because of its own interest), other option is Pakistan.
Advantages:
1. Low cost military equipments.
2. Can gain much technological knowledge.
3. More reliable partner.
No point in fighting guys. Please someone provide current status of Chinese front line aircrafts. I think this is hard to answer as China always keep things locked up, not even common chinese know about exact number of fighter aircrafts. We can only predict.
No way, we will never opt for F-35. Not only they are too expensive(more than 200 million $$), but also unreliable due to future sanctions. We are happy with F-16 and our future J series jets.
I don't think Jf-17 is going to be equipped with AESA radars, because Jf-17 has small nose and no other nation had successfuly developed as advanced AESA as USA has. So even for our friend china AESA is not easy job and it will take some time. But hopefully J-10 will be equipped with AESA radars.
No sir, I think this will help us a lot in real war, we can learn new future combat tactics. This is going to help our fighter pilots in enhancing their skills. :D
