#1 Not too shabby. Spotting will be the next challenge I guess. I'll wager they do well with that too, a crowded carrier deck does have some resemblance to a CFD.

#2 By this achievement, China + PLAN have done more than the Cold-War Soviets did wid their Yakolevs.

However, not to be outdone by the CPLAN it appears the post-Soviet Russians are intent on building one or more US-style nuke-powered Supercarrier wid forward jumpdeck on the bow.

#3 Amazing how most of their deck gear, flight deck personnel's safety gear looks just like ours.

I want to see videos of bolters. Lets see how they handle high tempo evolutions one after another on a crowded deck. They have a long way to go.

#4 SAM, and then they have to work out the whole carrier battle group concept, with defense in depth, coordinated air defense, ASW, and a few other tricky things.

#5 Is this Eastasia's Inner Party's 'Floating Fortress' gambit to simply impress the Outer Party and the rubes of Oceania?

Maybe it's actually designed to tighten the sphincter of Eurasia (who they still consider a threat). (Of course they've always been at war with Eastasia)

The average Proles probably don't care.

#7 then they have to work out the whole carrier battle group concept

More likely it'll be lily-pad ops.

Net Counter-response is that India's Russian-made, Ukraine-supplied CV had broken down during sea trials, ala ENGINE/BOILER-GATE [Asbestos]; + both India + Brazil's carrier, naval pilots were initially foreign-prepped + foreign-trained, respectively, UNLIKE CHINA WHICH IS DOING NEARLY EVERYTHING ON ITS OWN EXCEPT COLD-WAR ERA ORIGINAL SHIP CONSTRUCTION???

#9 Oh, no, the Chinese have just begun to catch up to the military ability of Thailand.

And Thailand is way ahead of the Chinese in selecting an "Ultimate Leader" who is smokin' hot.
