China’s Aircraft Carrier Ambitions: As the country builds its first indigenous carrier

[xunzi]

Not bad but I'm not impressed. Can you share with us another one of your home made videos (I saw it somewhere on Internet) where a single chinese warship sinks the entire US pacific fleet?

I don't think we are scare of your navy. Not even one bit to say the least. LOL

Defensive in their eyes, but for others, it depends - America, Vietnam and the Philippines see those weapons as threats.

I think PN and VN should copy Chinese peace policy by increasing the stockpiles of defensive and peaceful weaponry: ballistic missiles, and possibly nuclear weapons. last time, when they supported the red Khmer killing our people, and the PLA themselves raping our nation, destroying our cities, they claimed themselves having peaceful intention.

I am not sure if that is the right way; I mean acquiring ballistic missiles unless it is anti-ship missiles, though having a military force with sufficient defense capability and a healthy, if not strong economy should do the job.

You will never win on racing weapon accumulation with China.

You should approach US, and let US use your land for military base.

It will be up to your ability. Don't just complain CHN. The others UN pernament members did same things. What't more, USA navy patroled SCS. but Vietnam goverment didn't complain the move of USA navy.

we have many variants of cruise missiles against ships and ground targets, fired by planes, submarines, surface warships and land vehicles. we have only one type of ballistic missile, short and medium range. what we lack of is long range ballistic missile with nuclear warheads and submarines capable to fire them when submerged.

Think about it: PN economy is larger than VN. theoretically you can afford the arms race. or a bit of it.

Think about N Korea. they have nuclear as well as ballistic program, because the US is her perceived enemy.

in short: if your perceived enemy has a knife and wants to kill you, then you should acquire a knife too.

if your enemy has a gun, a missile or nuke, then you should acquire a gun, a ...

The only thing that hinders the expansion of the Philippines' national defense is politics and corruption.

Russian AC Kuznetsov has Granit anti-ship missiles, since Kuz and Liao based on same platform of Soviet ac project 1143 did Liaoning also has possibility to equipped with anti-ship missile?

China builds new aircraft carrier in show of strength to Washington

China intends to beef up its maritime presence by building a second aircraft carrier. Beijing wants to exert its presence in the South China Sea, after complaining of “provocations” from the US, as well as defending its interests in the region.
Little is known about China’s aircraft carrier program, however a spokesman for the Defense Ministry, Yang Yujun, said the ship had been designed in China and was being built in the port of Dalian.

"China has a long coastline and a vast maritime area under our jurisdiction. To safeguard our maritime sovereignty, interests and rights is the sacred mission of the Chinese armed forces," Yang said, as cited by Reuters.

The Defense Ministry spokesman added that the aircraft carrier will be able to operate J-15 fighter jets and will also have a ski-jump take-off. China’s only other aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, was purchased from Ukraine in 1998 before being refitted in China.

China has been looking to increase its maritime defense capabilities, as it exerts its claims in the South China Sea.

"The US has many aircraft carriers that are traveling all over the place in the South China Sea, which have caused problems for us. Having a second aircraft carrier reduces the pressure on us. It will keep us from being bullied,” a Shanghai-based naval expert, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter, told Reuters.

Earlier this month the Chinese Navy commissioned its third Type 052D Kunming-class destroyer, ‘Hefei’, armed with surface-to-surface missiles as its primary assault weapon. Beijing says it plans to build at least 10 warships, while they will be based at the naval complex in Sanya on the island of Hainan.

“My men have familiarized themselves with the advanced equipment and weapons [onboard the ship]. In the near future, we will focus on training, aiming to make the ship become fully operational within a short period,” Hefei’s captain, Commander Zhao Yanquan, told China Daily on December 14.

Two weeks ago, China filed a complaint with the Pentagon after a US nuclear-capable B-52 bomber flew over a man-made island in the South China Sea that China claims gives it sovereignty over the surrounding waters. Beijing said the move was a “provocation.”

It urged the United States "to immediately adopt measures to put an end to such kind of dangerous actions, in order not to impact the two countries' military relations,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

LOL you should do all these, and meantime get some F-22s, F-35s, Ford Class Carriers, Ohio Class SSBN, B-2s, you should be good.

Completely disagree.
You do know North Korea is in a pitiful condition because of the arms race with the US. You should be thankful China isn't the USA or you would have been invaded by now.
Your best option is sit at the negotiating table with China. You don't wanna be the bad guy with an aspiring super power.
China will rise to the top, it's better you start to learn walking the ropes now before it's too late.

Cannot wait to see, CNS Liaoning (16) and Her Sister Type 001A (17) sailing together.
That would be a very nice view
Soon !

Russian AC Kuznetsov has Granit anti-ship missiles, since Kuz and Liao based on same platform of Soviet ac project 1143 did Liaoning also has possibility to equipped with anti-ship missile?

No, Her Anti-Ship Missiles VLS has been Removed, freeing up internal space for hangar or storage use. Russia has similar plans to modernize its sister ship.
China Navy Aircraft Carrier Doctrine is more like US Navy Aircraft Carrier Doctrine other than Russian Navy.

Man I wait for the days when we can field destroyers and aircraft carriers like the Chinese. discovering gold mines, oil fields and other nice things we can sell can help a bit

Anyway while we are waiting the article is right. Deploying aircraft carriers into the SC sea is dumb considering the capability of Vietnam armed forces. More sense if Chinese deploy them to Africa or elsewhere to scare pirates and other nations without navy.

Do you think, it's easy to sink an Aircraft Carrier with just couples of Sukhois and your Kilo Diesel Submarine?

When an Aircraft Carrier sailing in the Hot-Spot Area just like South China Sea or East China Sea, they will fully Protected by their Escorts. That's what we call "Carrier Battle Group"

China Carrier Battle Group (CVBG)

Whats the latest update on this new AC? When is it getting launched?

check yourself before you wreck yourself.

the changes for having PLA Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and a PLA Space Navy is higher than Vietnam becoming a serious military threat.

Nice, hopefully China can park one of this near florida to teach the warmongering americans a lesson. Chinese coast guard ships are enough for tiny countries like japan and vietnam.
