China’s First Homegrown Aircraft Carrier Uses Electromagnetic Catapult!!!



China’s new aircraft carrier being built at a shipard

Recently, Jane’s Defence Weekly has exposed a true photo of China’s homegrown aircraft carrier that it claims to have obtained from Google.

US experts have checked the photo and found that the carrier is installed with an electromagnetic catapult, a technology that the US has just gained mastery and only uses it on one of its carriers, the Ford.

There have been reports that the PLA plans to spend $20 billion to get two aircraft carrier combat groups. If so, the PLA will be the most powerful in East Asia and perhaps, the entire Asia.

In addition, China is building lots of other warships. According to Kanwa Defence Review, China is building a few 35,000-ton amphibious attack warships, each of which can carry 4 Zubr LCACs and 20 helicopters. China has obtained one Zubr LCAC from Ukraine. It is expected the such amphibious warships will be commissioned in 2015.

Now who said that the Chinese is technologically challenged

China will build the 110k tons nuclear supercarrier until 2020.

It will feature two nuclear reactors without the refuel in the middle of lifespan, the EMALS, the advanced arresting gears, the dual band AESA radar, the integrated full electric propulsion, the laser weapon, the railgun.

But before that, China will build two conventional supercarriers.

However, China's first indigenous supercarrier is not going to be nuclear, since we are just a beginner in this domain.

But I believe that China is going to progress quickly, and by 2020, we can build the most advanced nuclear supercarrier.

Within a few decades we will have a stealth airforce operational combining with an arsenal of hypersonic vehicles and a blue water navy at our disposal. Very interesting times to come and more surprising news awaiting for us to celebrate.
