INS Vikrant | Why CDS Bipin Rawat didn't want any more Aircraft Carriers | Akash Banerjee

It's a feat of engineering & only a handful of nations can design - build a 40,000 ton Aircraft Carrier.
With the indigenous INS #Vikrant joining service, there is a push for a 3rd aircraft carrier for India, amidst a global debate about their future role.
Will we afford one more? Or will we conserve our limited resources & focus on drones / hypersonic weapons that are making more traditional weaponry and forces obsolete?
