    CV-18 Fujian - Type 003 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

    The 3rd elevator makes big sense especially when there's a 3rd catapult on that side. Moving planes across the flight deck will place a big impact to the efficiency of the operations and the performance of the airwings. Type 003 is probably not as big as Nimitz, but it's surely larger than Type...

    China's New Stealth Bomber: H-X / H-20

    The vertical stabilizers can be lowered to horizontal position to form a complete flying wing. It's a cool design but difficult to implement probably.

    According to the official report, the rover will start to work in a few days after landing. The first release will be very likely the pictures of the lander and the rover shot by each other. I think we will see the pictures next week.

    China - NON-MILITARY space activities & Space Industry

    水调歌头·重上井冈山 毛泽东 久有凌云志,重上井冈山。 千里来寻故地,旧貌变新颜。 到处莺歌燕舞,更有潺潺流水,高路入云端。 过了黄洋界,险处不须看。 风雷动,旌旗奋,是人寰。 三十八年过去,弹指一挥间。 可上九天揽月,可下五洋捉鳖,谈笑凯歌还。 世上无难事,只要肯登攀。

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    I think he just raised a general question on CAF/PLAAF's organization. It's around 30-50 fighters for an air brigade to my knowledge.

    I am sure the result of the one-way 'cooperation' won't be better than J-20, or even J-10.

    CV-18 Fujian - Type 003 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

    Regarding no elevator on the port side, I cannot tell from this photo. For a carrier at this size, it's hard to imagine there are only two elevators or no one on the port side.

    Pinkov's Corner ... the stranger part of the PLA-watching world!

    That guy had been notorious for many years in Chinese military forums. I am still surprised to see him barking and threatening like a dog though. No respect, no professionalism, just disgusting! And your comment on his stupid pen name is very sharp and true. Now he must be getting mad -- well...
