Chinese PLA Navy vs Indian Navy

Some Chinese ships:

Some Indian ships:

The Straits Times (STI) published an article written by Anthony Paul today, about online rumours of Chinese aircraft carriers. It said: "Several websites refer to 'eyewitness reports' of three graving docks at Shanghai, each with carrier construction under way. First mention appears to have come in a lengthy report on the 'Strong Nation Forum' (Qiangguo Luntan), an Internet bulletin board run by the People's Daily Online. It quoted from an article in 'a Russian newspaper, The Independent', headlined 'China's future route to maritime dominance'.""

both china and japan do not have aircraft carriers in service now but they are both technologically and economically superior to india.

india's aircraft carrier was built in the 60's soon after it gained its independence from britain. in a real naval combat with a major power, it cannot create any sort of threat.
