several days ago, the best opportunities for training

What impressed me is that Chinese warships are all so well maintained.

They need to start carry ordinance instead of just flying and take off.

Several days?? These are quit old and dated images since these J-15s all have the old 1xx-digit serial numbers.

 

[yusheng]

yes, maybe the pictures are old, yet the events are recently.
we are waiting for the photos of these training too.

I came from a coastal town where we have 3 small islands almost exactly 30km away from coast, and we used to take boat rides to that island. In a way we have learned to judge approximate distance while at sea, using horizon line as a guide.

From the fourth photo posted by Yusheng above, the destroyers and frigates are around 15 to 25km away from USN destroyer as they are at the end of the ocean horizon, while Liaoning is closer, at about 10 to 15 km away.

By yesterday noon, Liaoning carrier battle group had passed through the international channel between Xisha Islands and the Zhongsha Islands, and continued to go down south. There are a large number of aircraft providing cover from Yongxing Island Airport in Xisha.

Oh well ... my very special friend!
