Amidst the ongoing tension in the Pacific Ocean, China has completed the third aircraft carrier ‘Fujian’. On Saturday, China’s PLA-Navy released a video of the operational demo of Fujian. This week, the commissioning ceremony of Fujian was organized in the presence of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The special thing is that this new aircraft carrier of China is based on electromagnetic catapult technology. Till now America’s Gerald Ford class aircraft carrier warships were equipped with this technology. Electronic catapult technology allows fighter aircraft to take off and land from the small runway deck of an aircraft carrier.
China’s conflict with Philippines
China has built the third aircraft carrier at a time when there is tension with the Philippines in the South China Sea. In the last two years, there have been many violent clashes between the navies of China and the Philippines. China alleges that the Philippines is in a confrontation mode with China at the instigation of America.
Along with the South China Sea, China’s attitude towards Taiwan is also very heated. Recently, US President Donald Trump had claimed that the Chinese President has assured not to attack Taiwan.
India’s worries may increase
China’s third aircraft carrier can also become a cause of concern for India. Because China’s activities in the Indian Ocean region are continuously increasing. Chinese warships, survey vessels and submarines can be seen in the Indian Ocean every day.
Vice Chief of Indian Navy had said this
Recently, Indian Navy’s Vice Chief (Vice Admiral) Sanjay Vatsyayan had said that Chinese warships are completely monitored in the Indian Ocean from the time they enter till their exit.
India has two aircraft carrier warships
India has 02 aircraft carrier warships (INS Vikrant and Vikramaditya). The Indian Navy is also demanding a third aircraft but has not yet received the green signal from the government.
A few years ago, the then (now late) Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat had dashed the Navy’s hopes of a third aircraft carrier by saying that the Andaman Nicobar Islands could play the role of the Navy’s static aircraft carrier. Because Andaman Nicobar has a very strategic location in the Indian Ocean, from where China’s maritime activities can be closely monitored.
