My friends its not about AC weight and price tag.... AC is about what you got on it and around it.... Indian AC are totaly far superior because most on it are from russia, israel, uk and france (and USA soon).... These countries are developed nations.... Indian AC is far superior and will be superior in asia for many decades.... We got AC, Russia building AC for india while india itself building a AC (soon to be launched) and got one more on paper.... China can never match india in AC catagory.... If china decides to build more AC than india got chance to order AC from uk, france and yes USA (might tell them to built AC for india while same time we built our own too).... Indian AC got most powerful radars, jammers, anti missiles, jet fighters and in future AC u will see Rafale and F-35 taking off from indian AC.... AC is not about size.... Cargo ships are even 3 times bigger.... AC is about technology.... Also AC is about what we got on it and also around it.... Indian AC will be protected not only by Jet fighters, missiles and anti-missiles but also submarines, stealth fridgets destroyers etc etc.... India got so much experience of having AC and we even used AC in real war.... Chinese navy chief visited our AC and he kept saying he felt AC power and he wish china to have AC soon.... India will always lead in asia in AC catagory due to far advanced Technology on it....
