because of an another part of the post Dec 29, 2016
until now I didn't react to:
so let me repeat here the description of how Soviet aircraft carriers could've evolved differently:

(that book is from mid-1990s, the period when the authors didn't care much about the old ideology, and the new one wasn't yet established
Yes, that was a GREAT event...but it happened back in the fall of 2014 I believe. Almost 2 1/2 years ago.
And he bird has passed its carrier qualification, including launch and recovery twice more since.
Some folks are just invested in it failing and look for anything to try and prove that investment.
but they are wrong...and the aircraft itself is in the process of proving it.

No matter what the no-nothing experts say the F-35 will fly for a long while!
I found these terffic photos on navsource.....baby..it's cold outside!!!

From the same era,
Fairey Fireflies and Hawker Sea Furies aboard HMS Glory R62 off Korea having 'fun' in the snow;
More fun off Korea aboard HMS Theseus R64. Operations didn't stop for the snow unless it was a 'whiteout' and the deck became invisible even when you were standing on it!

OK I'll just pull this:
12 minutes ago
ISIS/ISIL conflict in Syria/Iraq (No OpEd, No Politics)
and will leave praising/lambasting/whatever of this Admiral Kuznetsov deployment to the rest of members, to numerous analysts/"analysts", spin doctors ...

You do !
It needed almost snowshoes to walk
but in Korea in the Winter sometimes very cold possible up to - 30°Never see French carriers with snow also deployed only in Med., M-E sometimes up to India.
Russian General Staff announced has announced "Admiral Kuznetsov" will leave Syria
So the ADM"K" is heading back to Russia along with Peter the Great.
So..where's the footage?

An Interesting read on the QECs and F-35B:
Particularly liked this bit:
"...I think we (the UK) have a huge advantage as both of these capabilities — F-35 and Queen Elizabeth Class — were designed with each other in mind from the very beginning. Having visited NAS Fallon with the RN last week, it is clear from the US Navy that live virtual constructive training will be crucial to understand both transformations and exploit the next generation capabilities that they bring.
"The USN were very interested in our purchase of DMRT, the deployed mission-ready trainers, essentially a portable full mission simulator [FMS], one of which is already in place at Edwards AFB to support our Operational Test and Evaluation effort.
Quote:
"...Deployable Mission Rehearsal Trainers (DMRT) The less-complex DMRT design has two cockpits with smaller visual displays and is mounted in a container that can be easily transported from site to site...."
Two containers are will be ‘hung’ in the hangar deck of the Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers, which allows us to practice any number of scenarios from carrier flying to high-end training to our heart’s content on board the ship. The ability to be able to mission rehearse or even problem solve with this capability is a step into the next generation of warfare.
The next step will be connecting that across to the Typhoon simulators off the ship in order to be able to remotely participate in 4th/5th gen training. There’s work in progress at the moment in terms of connecting a range of different simulators in the UK and not just in the air domain...."
The spaces in the QEC design which had been reserved for the Arrestor gear engines below the flight deck aft have long since been re allocated to the mission planning for the Lightnings. What then happened was that the spaces that were 'reserved' for cat and trap gear was given over for other uses - it's simply not practical to sail a warship around with great empty spaces in it. In the case of arresting gear, the spaces involved were very large, and have been used to house the extremely large mission planning areas demanded by the F-35 team.
Given the above, it's hardly surprising the USMC is keen (to put it mildly) to deploy aboard the QECs alongside The FAA/RAF and show what their new toys can do!
