China's first aircraft -carrier

[Hafizzz]

Gah!!!! China is taking too long with aircraft carrier readiness and construction. Why don't they use their miracle Chinese building capacity and workforce? lol *Sarcasm*

Like Mao once said : "It doesn't matter how long a person takes to build an project , as long as he can finish the project then he is a talented boy ! "

China is the no 1 shipbuilder in the world and it has recently launched the largest super tanker in the World. This speaks volume on China's capacity and all the posts from our Indian friends here are just blablabla. By contrast India is only a midget compared to China regarding Shipbuliding capacity. Just look to all these Chinese ports and Shipbuilding facilities in Shanghai and Dalian. There are nothing comparable in the World. India is builiding only Warships and this is done with the total assistance of Russia and now US, EU and Israel. The so-called India experience in Aircraft carrier is due to the handing over of old British Airicraft carriers to India like the HMS Hermes donated to India after the Falkland wars. By the way the Hermes should have been sunk by the Argentine Mirage using exocet. According to History the Argentine pilots had instead sunk the Atlantic Conveyor.

exactly, but it seems they always fail to realise that`they hv no idea what is industrial capability and fundation. take a closer look at those country of orignins of best MBT, fighter jet, rocket, radar and battleships. with no exception they were/are all manufacturing superpowers, like the U.S, Rus, Germany, U.K and Japan.

why people dont pay much attention to indian's LCA, Arjun and their other 'indigineous' inventories, the reason is very simple, without foreign direct assistance and foreign made parts, india just cannot make them which is sad truth! iindia is seriouly lack of very basic technological know-how. one crude fact is that india has to import 5.56mm and AKMS ammunitions from isreal and Romania. i dont know how indian friends are going to explain this, but an non-war engaging and supposed powerful country can not even meet their ammunition demand which demonstrated very well the whole picture of indians industrial capability`

back on topic, china spends more than 10 years on this russian half-finished aircraft, we only see recent years the process speeded quickly, it is the result of china's effort to upgrade its industry level. only ecently seeing the shift from low-end manufacturing to middle and high-ends in china, this transaction is the natrual evolution of china's manufacturing industry, this neally took us 25 years to have that happening..! in 2009 China was the biggest high tech products (factory CNC machineries, IT hardwares, ship buildings, wireless products, aviations, automobiles``etc) exporter followed by US Germany and Japan`.

only until now we can safely say that we can build a baisc aircraft carrier!

What is the propulsion used in Chinese carriers?

For the Type 089, steam turbines.

For the Type 085, nuclear reactor

These aircraft carriers are all belong to the project of the Dalian shipyard.

The project of the Jiangnan shipyard has been leaked, but i think they are related to the electromagnetic launch system.

81 will be named Tianjin ?

Looks like they'll be using the J-15/Su-33 derivative with the canard as their main carrier aircraft. But some of the model planes don't seem to have canards.

Instead of celebrating this Chinese future AC, I think it is a better idea to celebrate our ability to refit this empty shell into an operational AC.

No matter how hard we have worked on this project, the AC itself doesn't impress me much, after all it is an old and outdated ship. But technics andd skills we have acquired and displayed in the process of this refitting is impressive and invaluable.

I believe that is the main reason why PLA has been so dedicated and determined to work on Varyag instead of building a brand new one.

Its SU-30 MKI, model is based on future Indo-China military excersize

Those are very nice carrier models. Shiny ^^

I was thinking the same thing myself.

There is more significance to the carrier. This development means that in the near future, China's reach will no longer be limited. And if I know one thing about China, it is that they build everything gigantic over there.

Who knows, even carriers will enter mass production since China can afford it anyways. What the world needs is for China to continue working on nuclear subs so combined with the carrier fleet, it can truly have unlimited reach.

I think 8 AC's is enough for China...Any more would be a waste and be just sitting at docks.
