India is a military power, why is there only one active aircraft carrier?

Everyone must know about India, which was originally a British colony and later became independent. With the development of India's economy, it is also rising quietly. We call Russians fighting people, because Russians are fierce, and we will call Indians Asan, which means a little contempt. In fact, it is because India has made a lot of jokes about some things.

It is famous that the military parade in India looks like a circus performance, and a motorcycle can carry dozens of people. In addition to funny military parades, their planes often crash, and the most incredible thing is that they have shot down their own planes. India is not a strong country economically, but militarily, it is still relatively strong and can be regarded as a military power.

Why is such a country with frequent accidents still a military power? It is because their own military equipment is not good that they buy a lot of advanced equipment from other countries. Over time, India has also become a military power. But I don't know if you have discovered that India, as a military power, actually has only one aircraft carrier. Why?

In fact, India is indeed a military power, but it is not a military power. This aircraft carrier in India is not made by India itself, but a second-hand aircraft carrier. The construction of aircraft carriers is very difficult. Even if India currently has only one ship, it can greatly enhance its military strength. Moreover, the military strength of a country cannot be measured by the number of aircraft carriers alone. Many European countries have a small number of aircraft carriers, but their military strength is still in the forefront of the world.
