Something tells me PLAN recruitment will get a big boost going forwards.How many J-15 aircrafts have taken off from 16 Liaoning on November 23rd? In this video a spottor analyzed some details in the published photos and gives the answer...
The commentary in the video stated that the footage was shot during the second sea trail after handing over to the PLAN. That would mean that they shot and produced the whole thing and then transmitted it back to HQ to be broadcasted (or they just beamed all the raw footage back and had someone do the editing at the station).
Either the CCTV crew could get mobile signals where the sea trails were going on, or the PLAN decided to test out their datalink/satcomm as well during this trial.
It is also amusing looking at all the mainstream media labeling this as the first landing on Liaoning. It was blatantly obvious that they had done this many times already and had already established a full set of procedures and trained up the crew to the extent that everyone knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing.
This was less a test and more of a display.
