Old pictures.

Look like like they start training continuous operation launching, recovering, transferred and launching against. As well as coordination with AWAC and other support aircraft

There is nothing new, but some information provided today on the aircraft carrier are still interesting.

it is the stupid journalist spin In the original interview there is nothing that doubt the air wing prowess.The pilot just said you need luck, steel nerve etc which can apllied to any carrier landing. Because no matter how good you are or your equipment there is always element of luck. Carrier landing is dangerous bussiness Imagine barelling at 400km /hr and make complete stop at post stamp size air field

Here is the video

Question is , could we miss the emergence of a J15B when we have not missed anything before ?

How would you tell the difference between them when the two variants likely look exactly the same?

GREAT image. Showing ten J-15s on the after end of the flight deck alone.

There could easily be 14-16 J-15s on deck with this type pf spotting. I'd like to see the entire carrier at this point.

now noticed the tweet





Selon un rapport officiel de l'armée japonaise, le porte-avions Liaoning, escorté par 1 destroyer Type 052D, 3 destroyers Type 052D et 2 frégates Type 054A, a navigué sur le côte Est du Taiwan. Les chasseurs embarqués J-15 ont effectué leurs premières pontées en océan Pacifique.
