Chinese Aircraft Carriers - Liaoning, Shandong, Fujian and the future

[nang2]

F-35's recently tested landing / TO from Fujian using the EMALS. Do you have pics for it you can post?

Wow, for a second I thought world peace is upon us. F-35?!?! J-35!

Sorry, bad habit of writing F-35 a lot. I meant J-35. Not sure if I can update the post still

Viewing from the deck, gives you a different perspective on how large Shandong is

Usually the size of a football stadium's ground or some more. I've been on a couple. Beauties!

Maybe. A lot of people don't realize that, in fact, the J-15 is bigger than the KJ-600.

Really?

An old picture from before the sea trial last year.

As it seems, we finally have the first images showing aircraft on the „Fujian‘s“ deck:

Here are the shots that more or less confirm that indeed a catapult launch has occurred. Notice the ski jump is missing in the 2nd photo, so it must be Fujian

And another small photo in the style of salami tactics, which once again shows a little more ... this time for the first time a J-15T prototype with afterburner preparing for launch on the Fujian‘s deck.

Again an update from Dalian shipyard on that „huge“ vessel under construction… whatever it will be in the end!

Why not show full launch? Why bit by bit tacit videos as if it's the next Tom Cruise movie!

My understanding is that even J-35's have been tested through EMALS? Can you confirm it please?

Another aircraft carrier under construction it seems. They want to get to first batch of 6 AC's in the next 5-6 years it seems.

Since you are so curious, I will share a picture from the public Internet.
