volley of Brahmos, ATCR, LRASHM

Launching volley of Brahmos, ATCR, LRASHM is one thing, but does India want a tussle with China?

If this was the case then its like starting WWIII.

What sort of mission. China sends its SYP ship in IOR to monitor Indian missile test from International water. That is ok. However, if the come to IOR with any hostile motive, they will have to face volley of Brahmos, ATCR, LRASHM etc. China has no defence against it.

Can Brahmos sink an aircraft carrier?

In international waters, they can. But being an amphibious LHD, it needs to get almost one mile close to shore - so they can launch a beach invasion. Amphibious means marine-capable tanks and APCs need to be launched from the back holds of the ship which swim to shore. Air assets like large/small helis and drones can also be launched within weight limits. The second picture above in post #12 for Type 076 shows various drones and from what I can gather, J35s which can be launched.

We should not confuse helicopter carrier with aircraft carrier. I was interested to know about the capability of a non nuclear aircraft carrier. Thanx.

Can Brahmos sink an aircraft carrier?

I don't think so - not by a single one...
