This carrier is impressive
They have the ability to launch and recover aircraft very quickly

I think we surely will but since we haven't seen a J-11B with both missiles I'm not too much surprised.
I guess that will come when the MLU's come along.

J-15 still use J-11B avionics, so it's unlikely that they've received the software MLUs that the J-11B must've had in order to support the PL-15 and PL-10. I don't think they'll put too much emphasis on upgrading these ones, but the J-15B will definitely have them.
......Only with a very limited number of aircraft. What about at night? what about in foul weather? Can they recover aircraft, re-fuel, re-spot,re-arm and launch in a short period of time? say 1.5 hours? that's the typical cycle of flight operations on a USN CVN.
I'm just curious. When I see videos and photos of flight deck operations of CV-16 it all looks so professional, well mannered and orderly. But what can they really do in a "real World" situation?
p.s..I'm looking forward to seeing photos of night operations aboard CV-16..along with unrep/vertrep photos, fire drills and rig the barricade drills.

I don't think they lie We have known that they took off and land at night for some time But this is the first time they explicitly said so in an interview with the journalist. Here is the pertinent google translation
The emphasis is on rapid and continuous take off and landing. You can believe whatever you want but like they said the absence of evidence does not mean the evidence of absence
According to the media, the Liaoning ship is only one step away from the full formation of combat effectiveness. This step is all-weather combat capability, especially the ability to fight at night. Although the Liaoning ship had previously carried out the night-board aircraft take-off and landing training, neither the take-off and landing density nor the training subjects can be compared with this time. From the media reports, we can see this scene: In the early hours of the morning, the Liaoning ship deck was busy and the J-15 carrier-based fighter aircraft and multi-hull helicopters were full of decks. With the take-off assistant’s “flying” gesture, multiple batches of J-15 ship-based fighter aircraft accompanied by slamming engines rushed into the sky and rushed into the sky... The carrier-based aircraft landed on a moving aircraft carrier. For the dance on the tip of the knife, the risk is extremely high and the difficulty is extremely high. The night landing of the carrier aircraft is even more a “stumbling block” subject. In an interview with the media, Xu Ying, head of a naval aviation unit of aviation forces, said: "The ability of aircraft carrier formations to have daylight is far from enough. We must have 24 hours a day and night, including complex weather and complex sea conditions. The ability to work properly, so that the entire strength of our aircraft carrier formation is complete.” It can be seen from this that the high density of landings and landings of the Liaoning Ship at night is of great significance. At the same time, during the night's actual combat training, the F-15 crew also conducted a "back-to-back" free air battle training with the navy shore-based aviation. Wang Qiang believes: “The meaning of this sentence in the news is very rich.” “The 歼-15 imaginary opponent is supposed to be a three generation machine. The overall performance of the main equipment currently installed by our navy shoreline aviation is not weaker than that of the US military’s F-15 and F. / A-18, to simulate the opponent’s advanced aircraft with our main battle equipment can ensure the steady improvement of the combat effectiveness of the carrier-based aviation force.”
