Put both the carrier against China if need arises. PN can be handled without AC. Spend all the paltry fund on submarines, AIP, Ammos. No point stretching ourselves too thin and then ending up in a situation where subs are operational without torpedos !!

While India is bound to order more Rafales, the number of planes would depend on what else France is going to offer.

We should look at getting 747-8Fs, which can do serious heavy lifting, although only with proper airports.
