Well seems like they are simulating a catapult launch maybe not a real one yet

Hopefully ... when she comes back next Wednesday we will hopefully know more:

 

[Hendarto]

According to this guy Fujian is still at sea

 

[Deino]

Yes, she is ... he's right!

Wow, this is an excellent video explaining why Fujian is so much better than the Nimitz class carrier Excellent and highly recommended. It has an excellent explanation of the theory of carrier operation and historical background and technical analysis. You can use a Close caption. it has an English subtitle. I guess with Fujian China finally has a carrier that can go toe to toe or even better against US carriers as far as sortie rate and sophistication

The Fujian ship of the People's Liberation Army Navy is the first step in China's blue water navy ambitions. This giant aircraft carrier adopts a straight and long flight deck and electromagnetic catapult, which can maximize the practice of the aircraft carrier combat principle of "alpha strike" and can carry 4 aircraft. J-15 electronic warfare aircraft, 4 Air Police 600 carrier-based early warning aircraft, 4 Z-20 carrier-based helicopters, 24 J-15s and 24 J-35s. The " alpha strike" capability can be quantified by the average daily sortie rate of aircraft carriers. It is the most basic and important combat technical indicator to measure the combat capabilities of an aircraft carrier and its air wing. It is an important factor in aircraft carrier equipment development, combat capabilities and Core issues in safeguarding capacity building.

Back home …

 

[Hendarto]

The weather is nice today But can't see if there is any tread mark on the deck

Is this an actual J-35 or a mock up?

[Nevsky]

What are the fighters on it? J-15?

What are the fighters on it? J-15?

There are three kinds on it: KJ600, J15T, J35 which one do you mean?

We don't know if it's a model or a real fighter.

The content of this sea test has not been announced, and we need to wait for the relevant official news.
