The first carrier of China enters service today
The ex-Varyarg is now called Liaoning. Nobody outside knows if take off or landing has been tested on it yet. |

Iran has constitution and procedures, too. And as far as the domestic battle between him and Khamenei is concerned, he has lost it. He has failed to achieve effective control over the republic, and is now basically simply waiting for his day out. In the end, Ayatollah remains the supreme authority in Iran, and the matters concerning Israel will be his to decide.

They've had it for a nearly two decades (an ex-Soviet carrier), but more recently decided to rebuild it and commission it for service again. They have several carriers, just most of them are scale models that are landlocked and used as hotels and amusment parks.

I blame the Japanese for giving them the idea through the design of the SDF-1.

Saying China has a carrier is along the lines of saying Peru has a battleship. Nobody is impressed. Maybe after China has shown they can actually do something with it, then we'll see.

Even the French and the British have more experience in using carriers, and I'd still trust them instead of that Chinese carrier for peacekeeping missions when the Americans are not involved. |

But the fact than right now they only have the Charle-de-Gaule mean than they can't keep their presence somewhere for very long as boat can't stay at sea forever. The UK will end u with the same issue.
