The development of China's naval equipment has attracted worldwide attention, and the rise of its aircraft carrier force has attracted even more attention. The launch of the third aircraft carrier, the Fujian ship, has caused a sensation. Not only the Chinese people have discussed it, but there have also been many comments overseas, including India and Pakistan. The remarks deserve attention and comparison.
The new aircraft carrier has been launched
The Fujian ship has just been launched, and both India and Pakistan are not calm. This matter is definitely a big event. I can't help but comment a few words. You can feel the obvious difference in the attitudes of India and Pakistan. India's comments are a bit sour. The Indian army said that China is decades behind.
This is the topic of a comment made by former Indian Navy Deputy Chief of Staff Commodore Prakash. Although he admitted that the launch of the Fujian ship has a great impact and poses a strategic threat to India, he is very confident that China is far from mastering aircraft carrier operations. experience. It is pointed out that the aircraft carrier has a very complex system engineering, with different departments and supporting ships. It's one thing to have all the departments working together, it's another thing to sail with other surface ships in different sea conditions. It requires a lot of skills and experience, especially practical experience. It is believed that the American, British and Indian navies have spent decades accumulating experience and are not only large-scale but also complex.
Commodore Prakash
China's aircraft carrier strength started at the beginning of this century and does not have much experience in aircraft carrier applications. No wonder Commodore Prakash said: China's technology for using aircraft carriers is still decades behind India. But this statement is too exaggerated. It is true that there is a gap in experience, but it is hard to say how big the impact is. It is something that cannot be quantified. In fact, considering that India is increasingly emphasizing experience, this is not a small change. It finally admits that it is in the field of equipment technology. Falling behind China, we can only use the so-called machine use experience to cover up our shortcomings.
There is no sour taste in Pakistan, but more of envy. What is a little unexpected is that among Pakistanis, how to deal with the retirement of the Liaoning ship is a hot topic. To be precise, after looking at the advanced performance of the Fujian ship, Pakistan Missing the Liaoning ship. It turns out that Pakistan also has a dream of a big navy. It is promoting a large-scale naval equipment plan and plans to introduce a variety of new ships, such as: 8 S20 submarines and 4 054A/P frigates. The future scale is considerable. If the current plan is realized, then the issue of aircraft carriers may indeed be considered for the future.
Pakistan Railway’s new warship enters service
Pakistan Railway cannot build an aircraft carrier on its own and does not have enough funds to purchase aircraft carriers. Pakistan does not dare to worry about the Fujian ship and is even more looking forward to the Liaoning ship. After more and more new aircraft carriers enter service, the first-generation Liaoning seems to have become the target of Pakistan Railways. After decommissioning in the future, Pakistan can introduce it by relying on its good relationship with China.
The Liaoning ship has not been in service for a long time, and the current discussion of decommissioning is a bit too far away. However, Pakistan Railway seems to have a very eager attitude in discussing how to handle the decommissioning of the Liaoning ship. It also forces people to consider an issue, the fate of the Liaoning ship in the future.
India's current aircraft carrier
Since the design of the Liaoning ship is an old design, especially the ski-jump take-off deck, it has been criticized. How many years it can serve in our navy is a question. Some people also discuss its origin after retirement. It is generally believed that It is very likely to be sold to the Russian Navy , which can be regarded as returning to her parents' home. At present, the Russian Navy is in great need of aircraft carriers, so the Liaoning ship will be very valuable to the Russian Navy. However, with the discussion of Pakistan Railway, people found that there seems to be a choice. Sell to Pakistan or Russia? No need to think much about the answer, Pakistan has no chance of competing.
Modern aircraft carriers are expensive to build and not cheap to maintain. Pakistan is not a big country, and its financial resources are very limited. Aircraft carriers can definitely be regarded as luxury goods for Pakistan, and they are faced with a situation where they may not even be able to use them if they are given away for free. Maintaining an aircraft carrier fleet is very expensive, let alone a large aircraft carrier like the Liaoning, which is out of reach.
Liaoning ship training
India and Pakistan have different evaluations of China's aircraft carrier development, showing different starting points. India is simply covering up its own embarrassment. It has been surpassed by China in the field of aircraft carriers and has been pushed further and further away. It is still unwilling to accept it. . Pakistan was delighted to see China's development, and then had beautiful illusions about its own future. Although it is a bit unrealistic, it is not a joke. Who doesn't have some dreams?
