India Aircraft Carrier: Recently, a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute came out, in which it was claimed that in 2023, the world’s military expenditure saw the fastest increase in a decade. China increased its military expenditure by 6 percent to $296 billion this year. China is continuously purchasing weapons for land, air and navy. Recently, China also launched its third aircraft carrier Fujian. China is also building a fourth aircraft carrier for its navy, which is no less than a challenge for other countries. Aircraft carriers are considered mobile military bases at sea. These are important for the security of any country. In such a situation, let us know how many aircraft carriers other countries including India have.
