I'm sure China's "friendship without limits" with Russia has nothing to do with that and neither do China's badly hidden power-fantasies with regards to the West and really anyone who isn't China.
@@tomgoff7887 What "Threat"?? China isn't expanding into NATO, the EU AND US are very keen to expand NATO right up to China's borders. The US controls the EU (as we've all very clearly seen, especially with the Nord Stream incident).
I have suspicions that Fujian, with its conventional propulsion, might lack the electricity generation for extended period of time. These EM catapults require extraordinary amount of energy to operare. I think the Chinese should have gone with the Steam catapults as originally intended and transition to EM catapults when they have the nuclear-powered carrier. It would have taken less time too. The Fujian is nearly 10 years into construction and it is still not in active service.
It's reaching active service much much faster then the Ford. The Ford's catapults are still not safe enough to launch manned aircraft on a routine basis. I won't be surprised if the Fujian gets their EM catapults fully operational before the Ford, even thought construction started ~6 years behind the Ford.
@@mgronich948 The Ford is fully operational and entered service in 2017. Had some issues but those are fixed as the Ford is not only launching aircrafts regularly but also going on missions.
The countries with strong national rigor in the world are: Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, all the problems you do not have to doubt. After World War II, only two countries entered into industrialization: one is China and the other is South Korea, and the other industrial countries were born before World War II.
@@mgronich948😂The Fujian reaching active service. I think it more likely they will find a way to move their artificial islands around the ocean instead.
So what? Why are you comparing these? Very sure the technologies inside these two are very different. Anyway both of them are the sitting ducks when during war. In the Red Sea's conflicts already proven.
That means either you did not follow the news or your media is hiding this information from you but. Imo your media is hiding this shameful information because for decades the A/C are the US government 's prides and shows of power.
How do you conclude that the J-15s on Fujian's flight deck are most likely mockups? They look like the real thing to me. There doesn't seem to be any need to paint the mockups in PLAN's operational colours.
China must have a checklist of 1000 different functions to be tested. They probably use all the typical project management tools (waterfall charts, milestone charts, problem tracking and planned resolution on time schedule charts, etc)
My biggest question about China’s management style is regarding upgrades and design freezes. Western management focuses on reaching a hard design freeze where no improvements are allowed and instead are deferred to follow-on upgrade contracts. This works well for companies because they get the government to sign off as completed a contractural requirement even if it will have to be immediately upgraded/replaced to be effective. But China may not be driven hard by lawyers, accountants and managers who have perverse incentives to allow/encourage wasted effort that will have to be redone under a new sole-source contract later. China may empower their engineers to approve common sense design changes as soon as they are obviously needed instead of wasting effort. This ties into being more flexible about design changes even after the design freeze.
Based on China's almost clock-like accuracy in their space programme, and superb infrastructure capabilities, I think you can trust their project management skills.
Need more info. Where are those pictures taken from? Maybe they are flying KJ-600 awacs from land just to protect the carrier in general. Maybe they launched from the catapult but didn't land. Who knows, could be anything. But all we need to know is that it's getting closer and closer to being fully operational, and that the faster speed of development and sea trials is great news for CN-mil fans like ourselves.. 🇨🇳🔥💪😲💪🔥🇨🇳
Impressive thieves and liars yes? Carrier tech is over 100 years old you know? Hell even Australia, Argentina, Canada and Brazil have operated carriers before!
Then why cant China make a Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier if they have space tech like the Russians and Americans? China has 300 of years of Carrier Tatics to try and learn and master by 2027 for the Taiwanese invasion if they try it.....I'm curious.
@@joseevsngelista6342 Just go to the library to read the history of Korean War, how did the world's strongest US army leading a group of so called "United Nation Army" defeated by the world's poorest PLA troops in the battle field of Korean soils~
Maybe flights not landed on carrier but other systems radar and weapon systems need testing, Chinese might be (are) faster than western and Russian navy to complete building and commissioning.
They're testing j15, j15t, also already tested kj-600, eventually j35 will be test, not worry about the electromagnetic catapult, they already tested more than 1200 times with out any problems different from Ford's electromagnetic catapult which after 272 times take off, it'll be jamed and need to be take a long rest or repair
There have been 0 tests made on the Fujian. Not sure where you got that 1,200 figure. The Ford has been in service and under testing for couple of years now and the issues has largely been fixed. Evidence for that is that the 2nd Ford is ready and 3rd in under construction.
@@m.a3914Well, you can still find most problems from land based catapult tests, except salt water corosion. The catapult issues on ford class were discoverd during land test, but they decide to solve it later, and installed it on the ship anyway.
@@qiyuxuan9437 Issues were found after the creation of the ship because there is a huge difference between land test, where you have an infinite runway and power supply, and on an actual ship. The issues on the Ford are fixed and Kennedy is improved over the lessons learned from the Ford experience. The difference between the Chinese carrier and the US carrier is that you have an almost infinite supply of electricity on the Ford while that's not the case on the Fujian.
I'm wondering if the catapult system will continue to perform correctly in a wartime multiple launch scenario. They are very complex and right at the edge of chinas technical envelope
The catapult itself is easier than its energy storage and delivery system, and China is the world leader in the electricity grid techs, many new international standerds came from China.
If launched, congrats to China. I'm curious how many flight operations can be sortied a day. It's going to take a lot of power for the catapult system.
It’s hilarious that people will say “fujian is not comparable to the Nimitz and ford” buddy nuclear only affects how long the carrier can stay at sea. The fujians electronic systems and radar are still far better than the older American carriers.
Yeah, many people dont know that the USS Kitty hawk, a conventional carrier has more horse power than the nuclear carrier USS Enterprise, I think it even has slightly more hp than the Nimiz. The down side is it need to be refueled about once a week, but the up side is the maintaince is much quicker than nuclear carriers, so it can spend more times at seas.
The Kitty Hawk class carrier could carry 85+ aircraft aircraft, the fujian is only 50+. Less aircraft on carrier means less effective and inherently less capable
Sea trials with American carriers are much more rigorous than this. A large explosive device underwater to rock the carrier and check the electronics ability to function under stress. Americans have been at this for a long time and know all the ins and outs. Nice ship for a conventionally powered carrier. Good luck.
Have the catapults worked under the ships own power? All the test I've seen it has been connected to shore power. They made a mistake not going nuclear powered and conventional steam catapults. Either way the PLAN Navy has a long way to go learning how flight operations work. That will take a decade at a minimum.
Why is it even a question that they have launched aircrafts or not? Fujian is an aircraft carrier, not a cruise ship. It's purpose is to launch aircrafts!
Heres a suggestion if you're up for it. Do a video on the Y9 series of electronic warfare and ELINT aircraft. Apparently recently its been revealed that china is quite a ways ahead of the US in that field
Given real-time evolution of drone warfare on land, in air, and at sea in Ukrainian war, are there discussions among PLA ofcionados on dedicated drone/anti-drone ships maybe based on something like the 054B FFG or even repurpose and modify the six 052C DDGs?
Hi Tony, China has certainly started to build purpose-built drone ships. The Type 076 LHD is generally expected to have a fixed-wing complement of high-end drones. The drone carrier and rotary drone carrier we saw previously in a Yangtze shipyard are other examples, although these are probably used as targets during naval exercises. There are also non-military drone ships like the Zhu Hai Yun, and conceivably there might be a non-declared military role. As for how far the PLAN will go in terms of drone ships, only time will tell, particularly with respect to how many 076 LHDs they will acquire. In terms of drone defences, there are no dedicated anti-drone warships per se (although there are certainly land-based anti-drone systems). This is still a new field of naval warfare, and in my view the effective countermeasures against different types of drones are quite different. Against larger and more expensive high-end drones, traditional area air defences onboard destroyers should still be effective like they would be against fixed-wing aircraft. Against small drones, long-range SAMs are not going to be economical, so you probably need to rely on cheaper close-range munitions like dual-purpose guns, short-range SAMs and electronic jammers. These are present already on ships to an extent. Against surface drones, lower end defences like cannons and machine guns (possibly rocket launchers), combined with EW jammers, might suffice. Different existing assets in the PLAN will be effective against different drone threats. One thing to note about small surface drones is that they have proven to be less effective in the Ukraine War as time goes by. Initially, they have had lots of successes, disabling Russian warships like the Admiral Makarov in port. But the Russians have become quite good at countering these drones over time with electronic jamming, low-end weapons, and targeting drone operators and training facilities. These counters didn't seem to require that big of an investment on the part of the Russians, just more experience in fighting these drones. So, I am quite skeptical if surface drones are really a game changer as their initial success in Ukraine suggests. This is even more so if you shift the operating environment to the vast Pacific where drone operators cannot be as close to their targets as they are in the Black Sea.

China can build a highway in a week, which takes years for America, and it has the most shipyards worldwide. The minute they decided to focus all their efforts on being a leading naval power, then America & the West naval dominance would be done for. Moreover, China's failure to make aircraft may be part of the war strategy. They know the fight will be taken to them, so having tons of carriers would be a waste of resources. Much wiser to make systems that can destroy anything people throw at them and have mines & drones in the water to keep Western powers at a comfortable distance.

I hope you truly did China if you did. Bravo😅 I'm really proud of this accomplishment. You once purchased an aircraft carrier from the United States. Hoping to get this technology. If you were part of the kingdom of Zion... How did your people know about Jesus so fast after the crucifixion but then it went silent in the Bible like he was defeated
Yulan Class is better it make sense, Fujian is money wasting only doctrine for Fujian is to learn how to build and manage a supercarrier and maybe how to build a carried aircrafts ... for taiwan is futile... Mainland China is a bigger and better aircraft carrier. Please next time a Video on type 75 and 76 not on admiral toys thanks
Tbh, unless those tugboats are super huge, it doesn't look that big, especially with only 2 small elevators that look big enough for one small aircraft.
Its only slighty smaller than the ford class(about 15-20 meter shorter, width is actually slighty wider) Each elevator can hold 2 J-15 which is simlair to the size of F-14.

China does not want to be a hegemon because greater power comes with greater responsibility. China has consistently refrained from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, which also demonstrates its unwillingness to become a global hegemon.
@Karthagast that's because everyone else's navy knows better than to even try. Yall foreigners forget that the US could literally have taken over control of the world after ww2 😆 But being the most decent people we chose otherwise.
Ill chime in and say the Allies having been doing Carrier Tatics since World War I......where the heck was China at then?.....I dont think China can master 100 years of Carrier ops between 2024 and 2027 , even with their highly advanced rocket force......I'm not giving China total victory, but dont under estimate each other....that's how problems happen.
Its Beautiful for a Reef setting. Just because they copy the outside of a Carrier, Doesn't mean the inside and Fighter Jets can match the US. Over 80yrs of experience and sacrifice a New Carrier can never Match. I just hope they never Challange the USN.
If they did launch any aircraft they would be boasting like crazy. Also if they did this they would be showing video of it. All BS their launch mechanism will either work well and rip off the undercarriage of the aircraft or simply throw the aircraft into the water. Super carrier is quite a misnomer for this carrier it’s a facade.
Bro this is non nuclear powered but able to catapult by using DC current. It’s one of its kind. And the radar and electronic warfare system, them are light years ahead of the US.
The odds this carrier will ever living up to expectations are pretty much nonexistent. Corruption and buffoonery has turned what should have been a fine ship into yet another Chinese tofu dreg nightmare.
my reading is these are radar and instrument test so they can confirm the carrier can detect and guide aircraft. not neccessarily takeoff or landing...
they will sink this ship in shallow water to make another artificial island
I would bet the aircraft behind it were just this, probably planes launching from land and practicing landing glideslopes to both test ILS instrumentation and get pilots some practice

I hope you truly did China if you did. Bravo😅 I'm really proud of this accomplishment. You once purchased an aircraft carrier from the United States. Hoping to get this technology. If you were part of the kingdom of Zion... How did your people know about Jesus so fast after the crucifixion but then it went silent in the Bible like he was defeated
中国是无神论国度，当中国进入科学时代之时，中国人的精神没有神的束缚，发展速度就会非常快，而印度的发展速度就非常慢。
I Wonder why Chinese still could not build nuclear power aircraft carriers😉
Yulan Class is better it make sense, Fujian is money wasting only doctrine for Fujian is to learn how to build and manage a supercarrier and maybe how to build a carried aircrafts ... for taiwan is futile... Mainland China is a bigger and better aircraft carrier. Please next time a Video on type 75 and 76 not on admiral toys thanks
Nice looking future reef
👍👍👍
Viva Fujian
Viva China
China never shows inferior items to the world.
…I know they sell them 😂
Comme tous jours une réplique Américaine
Tbh, unless those tugboats are super huge, it doesn't look that big, especially with only 2 small elevators that look big enough for one small aircraft.
Its only slighty smaller than the ford class(about 15-20 meter shorter, width is actually slighty wider) Each elevator can hold 2 J-15 which is simlair to the size of F-14.
I am Chinese, and I know that the 'Fujian' vessel is just a fishing boat; there is no need for alarm.
😂
Fake Chinese. Get some balls and behave like a man. Don't use fake identity!
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Looking for skid marks wow
look at the captains underwear,,that is the only place ,that there are skidmarks

I'm here welcoming our Chinese overlords. Starting to learn Mandarin. Australia my homeland so very fucked.
我知道，物价太贵，房价太贵，房贷利息太高，房租太高，租房困难，工作太不好找，诈骗太猖獗
Australia has some big friends.
You're distant but never alone.
@Magyarmeister said the same thing aboot the Emu overlords.
@Magyarmeister...Hell yeah y'all are! especially if everybody else in Australia thinks like that! Sounds a lot like 'some' prefer it that way too, but whatever!...So yeah, learn Mandarin as fast as you can, cause your homeland is fucked either way!!!...but we're built different over here, that ain't how we roll...
China does not want to be a hegemon because greater power comes with greater responsibility. China has consistently refrained from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, which also demonstrates its unwillingness to become a global hegemon.
Let's be real, it will sink trying to get out of dock, it's so poorly made
Source: trust me bro
The video literally shows the ship in open ocean.
Isn't an aircraft carrier designed to launch aircraft? Wha is the surprise?
Reverse speed is important for a Chinese aircraft carrier that will never engage in combat.
No wonder, I have always heard that American aircraft carriers can only move forward, not backward. Based on your comments, it seems to be true.
European and American aircraft carriers can only move in one direction like an angry stupid cow.

Tofu-Dreg copy of western carriers....thats why its followed around by a blue water tug 24/7.
Oh boy…I see you are dripping with envy lol
@@amunra5330 nah, my country has been winning wars with carriers for over 100 years. I'm good.
豆腐渣???
你是說那個整天回港維修的伊莉莎白???
@@cnknguyen Your country has not fought a war against another naval power since 1945. You are desperate. Welcome to reality.
@Karthagast that's because everyone else's navy knows better than to even try. Yall foreigners forget that the US could literally have taken over control of the world after ww2 😆 But being the most decent people we chose otherwise.
Why is the carrier going backwards.
这只是模型玩具而已。西方朋友不必过度紧张！
没有弹，都是模型。起码还要两年才会有舰载机
你脑瓜仁有花生米大吗
他是战忽局啊😂
如果你指的舰载机是歼35的话，两年可能还不止
不会的，年底或者最晚明年上半年应该就可以看到舰载机起飞了
The ship is a plywood mockup
We have Brahmos missiles with her name on it. Should she come 300 kms from our launch bases she will be a black sinking wreck in less than 7 minutes!
Look cow poop 💩
300 kilometers is too short. It is even inferior to China's rocket launchers, thus Brahmos lags behind.
😂😂😂😂
it’s just a BOAT until jets are landing n taking off, I’d call it I floating chinese restaurant
Why is smoke coming out of the ship? Another tofu ship.
You are illegal immigrant 😂😂😂 be careful trump dont deport you
😂，燃气轮机的动力船，为什么不会冒烟？你见过这样的动力船，不产生烟雾的吗？😂
probably burning some of that heavy fuel oil like Russia uses to power her engines
Another idiot who knows nothing but BS.
Looking at your fake image, their carrier apparently goes in reverse 😂
Everyone is worried that this is actually ai synthesis. It's just a big fishing boat.Let's keep America first in our dreams.😅😅😅
Can someone explain to me why there is smoke, if it is called nuclear carrier? I don't understand
It's not nuclear powered.
常規動力或核動力只是在於動力來源不一樣罷了...
為何會不明白???
Nobody called Fujian "nuclear carrier".
Chinese seamen are barbecuing on that ship
Their third carrier with absolutely no modern naval combat experience with technology they stole to reverse engineer. Yeah a real threat!
Standard troll remarks
A aircraft carrier with no aircraft or a giant laundry mat.
@@jayscott7152n
yawn
Ill chime in and say the Allies having been doing Carrier Tatics since World War I......where the heck was China at then?.....I dont think China can master 100 years of Carrier ops between 2024 and 2027 , even with their highly advanced rocket force......I'm not giving China total victory, but dont under estimate each other....that's how problems happen.
6:28 since they are mock-ups, why do they even have wings, bruh?
👍🇨🇳🙂☮️🌏❗️
suspense...!...
You must be out of your mind to compare this poor copy to be equal the a US carrier.
SB
west news is joke and joe😂
Its Beautiful for a Reef setting. Just because they copy the outside of a Carrier, Doesn't mean the inside and Fighter Jets can match the US. Over 80yrs of experience and sacrifice a New Carrier can never Match. I just hope they never Challange the USN.
我们不敢挑战热爱和平的美军，我们只是不小心把我们的领土开到了美军附近，对不起，是我们错了
If they did launch any aircraft they would be boasting like crazy. Also if they did this they would be showing video of it.
All BS their launch mechanism will either work well and rip off the undercarriage of the aircraft or simply throw the aircraft into the water.
Super carrier is quite a misnomer for this carrier it’s a facade.
You'll be joining the bismarck soon
Tofu navy. Like 80% of what they make is a copy of someone else's work and they got it all wrong. 😊😊
😂😂😂God bless CHINA
Until actual video of full flight ops. This ship is nothing.
🤮
Man I love your Indian accent and sympathies for what you repeatedly say the planes are just mockups 😂

This channel is not recommended. Propaganda.

Jealous?
You seen nothing yet. Stay alive and watch....
And you are inferior to dogsh8t 😂
Bro this is non nuclear powered but able to catapult by using DC current. It’s one of its kind. And the radar and electronic warfare system, them are light years ahead of the US.
Comment by a Ukrainian Boot-Licking LoSeR
ROFLMFAO! I can assure you, nthing will be catapult off 003 for the next 10 years.
how? by using what ?
These are Antiquaited Methods Of War. Besides did i here that these are not Nuke Powered!???
Chinese are wise, they want the West to continue in the usual way while they are prepping the 'next thing" 😂😂😂
The odds this carrier will ever living up to expectations are pretty much nonexistent. Corruption and buffoonery has turned what should have been a fine ship into yet another Chinese tofu dreg nightmare.
People like you sure do feel the need to tell warn everyone about how not dangerous and incapable China is, this speaks for itself 😂😂😂
Speculation and cartoons. Knock off the propaganda crap and SHOW US. We are not stupid.
要尽快开建下一艘，不管是常规动力还是核动力！🎉
White people never bring up Daniel Duggan 🤷♂️
Is that before or after the jets were launched into the sea? LOL, what a joke!
