its not imposible to put a catapult on the side deck of varyag.

I agree that it is not impossible...but I personally believe it is unlikely.

I believe the first cats on PLAN carriers will come when they build their own.

Just my opinion.

You mean the Su 30s. PLAFF has none of the SU-33s, but in the future PLAAF and the military central commitee is trying to make a third or fourth deal with a new bunch of the latest Su-27 SM and advanced Radar and fire control-system to keep up with the world current. One of the PLAFF senior general shows strong interest with the Su-37 All-weather multirole fighter.

Good one though. PLAN also showed strong interests in getting that Russian AWACS during the Peace mission 2005.

The 3M-80E Moskit supersonic anti-ship missile which is highly difficult for antiaircraft cannons and air defence missiles to intercept, the only aircraft carrier killer in the PLAN inventory ???
