Liaoning (Varyag) - Chinese Aircraft Carrier

[J20!]

Leaving for her 9th sea trial, with the four arrestor wires clearly visible:

Her deck markings have been modified, with the landing strip lines extended along the length of it.

When the Russians sell them proper arrestors. They will attempt a few landings before that, some of which will end up in the sea.

Hahaha! Bitter much? It seems you have selective reading as well:

Unless you don't know what arrestor cables are....

PS. The arresting mechanism is Chinese, we don't need the Russians for EVERYTHING.

I think it is a sharp turn, is that also a test project in this trail? After all I think it looks cool!!!!

Sharp turn at slow speed. Notice that the ship is not tilted but is flat on the water despite the turn.

These pics are from the 7th batch of trials. Notice that the landing strip markings hadn't been extended over its entirety yet.

Looks like she's been put through her paces.

A realistic date for commissioning of this vessel seems to be 2015

 

[agentperry]

chinese dont have any experience of handling a carrier esp in war time. so i hope by the time chinese learn the proper use of such magnificent machines india might be maintaining 3

Is not this the same Aircraft Carrier which China bought from Ukraine in 90s and was supposed to be used for non military purposes?
Doesn't that amount to violation of purchase agreement?

Chinese JZY-01 Aircraft Carrier-Capable AEW&C Aircraft

Chinese JZY-01 Prototype of Shipborne Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft which will form the basis of an aircraft carrier capable AEW&C. JZY is Pinyin(Chinese Phonetics）short for Shipborne Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft.

The primary role of the carrier based airborne early-warning and control aircraft will be to provide air & surface surveillance and coordination of the offensive and defensive strike/air defense packages.to effectively deal with the potentially hostile targets both in air and at sea.

The real purpose was to convert it into a Casino for Chinese communist leaders to gamble. But as with everything, China surprised everybody.

Stealers never learn.

How do you expect to get it off the deck without catapults?

have some impatience.i didnt say this one would take off from vagag.on the contrary,it is likely to be a technology demonstrator,as it is longer and wider than e2,and its structure seems to be not strong enough.but from this pic we see the achievement and determination of china to AEW&S and catapult.
