Unfortunately only the second link worked for me.

I still make them a decade or more behind the US in carrier operational terms but it was amusing watching them combing the flight deck...a new skill they have quickly learnt

Aye remove any possibility of FOD before landing or takeoff!

Jimbuna · 11-26-12, 06:43 AM

Rgr that.

One carrier, a navy does not make. They certainly are a long ways off the power projection that the US carrier fleet can muster, but they are a a potent regional threat and will have the likes of India, Taiwan and South Korea nervous for a while to come with the fleet they are building over the next few years and the carrier and the J-15 will definitely be a big part of their regional strategy. Whether the J-15 works or not as a weapons platform will be interesting to observe.

Just hope they decide to stay north of the equator and don't decide they don't want to buy our minerals and farms any more, preferring to just take them.

You could always turn to your secret weapon as a last resort...the drop bear

What i have always loved was that the intel community has always said that

1) China will never aquire an aircraft carrier
2) China will never refit the aircraft carrier
3)it will not put to sea until 2013/14
4)ok, it put to sea, but it is only a training platform and will not have a weapon system or advanced sensors
5) ok, so it has weapons and advanced sensors, but it wont have aircraft land on it untill 2014/15
6) ok, an aircraft landed, but it will never have a full airwing

I love the intel guys, and i cant believe that this time next year i will be part of them.
