Design wise , if it is 60k tonnes then that will make it just a little bit smaller than the British QE , so I wouldn't be surprised if it would have the same design as the proposed CATOBAR variant of the QE, but may be somehow with just one island instead of two if that is possible. However...

I know I said "I won't comment on the type 076 for as long as possible" but apparently that "as long as possible" only lasted few hours, I think one day this ship is gonna get me banned. Any way frankly I think those who say this giant ship won't be able to operate manned fighter aircrafts have...

I will just through the previous comments here: Seriously I can't it anymore , I've read way too many stupid comments talking about how this ship will be used exclusively for drones and not carry any fighters, it's literally giving me a headache, now excuse me I will take a paracetamol...

It can have both of them at the same time , so it doesn't have to chose , equipping the CVL with arresting wires and catapults will increase it's price by several hundreds of millions of dollars , then the price will increase due to the enlargement and modifications of the flight deck, does any...

I don't think you quite understood my point, yeah I get it that it will use EMALS (if the ship exists) , what I was talking about is how some idiots on CJDBY keep on calling it "drone mothership" , it's not a "drone mothership" if even some puny ski jump can launch heavy aircrafts like the...

Dude wtf are you talking about, not enough space? It is no less than 45k tons, if the America class has enough space why shouldn't an equally sized (or perhaps even larger) CVL not have enough space! It has enough space guaranteed 100% period.

They say it will have EMALS so it won't need STOVL. Again if it has catapults it will launch all kinds of aircraft manned and unmanned, why the F do so many people keep on saying that it is just for drones!

I don't want to keep talking forever about how I don't think this vessel will exist so I just want to say it once more, regarding the chances of having this Type 076 CVL, I'm ten times more pessimistic than even Gordon Chang who still to this day continues saying "China collapse" even as China's...

Can someone provide translation for this please? I mean the first thing I thought when reading "type 076 with EMALS" was.. yeah that won't happen. So I don't know man, may be I will be proven wrong and China will give us a surprise with this ultra super power LHD with EMALS but... I highly doubt...

China's nominal GDP in just the second quarter will be higher than that of the US , however for the GDP of the full year to surpass that of the US... frankly that is unlikely to happen, unless if Trump continues to screw the response to the pandemic that they would shrink in the 4th quarter as...

I know that Iran produces some air defence missiles , but some of the most advanced? To put it mildly that is probably not true, heck for air defence probably even HQ-9 won't be enough without AWAC, so add AWACs to the list of required weapons.

Chinese ballistic missiles for Iran? Highly unlikely and the one and only reason why it's unlikely is because if China gives BMs to Iran.. then don't be surprised if the US retaliates by giving hundreds of very long range BMs to Taiwan that would cover all of mainland China. Iran already has...

regarding this Pupu, what is his track record? did he ever get anything wrong or was he always right? I'm saying that because personaly I highly doubt there would be a single engined 5th gen fighter, a 5th gen J-10 will be much heavier than the latest J-10, and will weigh as much as the F-35...

I have no idea whether this video was shared here before or not but any way I saw it on the Russia defence forum shared by a member (Cyberspec)

The Russians/Soviets produced a total of 960 Il-76 over the course of several years, I don't know how many of these were used by Russia (both civilian and military) but if I'm not mistaken most of the Il-76 were owned by the Russians and a smaller number for export. Y-20 will be far much more...

So I did some quick googling to find out what is the size of China's air cargo fleet, "This statistic shows the size of air cargo freighters fleet in China in 2017 [China has 180 freighters according to this website in 2017] with a forecast for 2037. By 2037, China plans to have around 740...

Not exaggerated at all, that was not Minnie Chan that said "more than 1000 will be needed", that was the head of AVIC who said that, also he didn't include exports in this number: "The manager expects that China will need at least 1,000 of the huge aircraft". Frankly I will trust the words of...

this is one of the reasons I guess next thing they will do is that they will revise up their estimate of China's cases to 50 times instead of 40 times, but the thing is.. 50 times 83,644 is 4,182,200 and it's only a matter of time before the US surpasses even that.

LOL remember back when anti-China media claimed that the number of Corona infections was 40 times the official number? 40 times 83,644 equals 3,345,760. US cases now reached 3,770,138. So the US has now surpassed even the number they created for China, epic fail from Trumptards. And yet most...

Personally I highly doubt that any Y-20 will be exported to anyone including Pakistan anytime soon. Remember China wants to have a total of more than a 1000 of all the Y-20 variants. "I can't tell you the exact time planned for delivery, but ... it will be carried out very soon," Zhu Qian, head...
