So far so good. But going forward China need to train a lot of carrier qualified pilot, like the last article by Henri K said
Training with J 15 is too expensive and wear out fast an expensive and prototype fighter Better to use J 9H Fortunately they seem to fast track J 9H with folding wing production
Does it have arresting wire hook?

Excellent...I was looking for the Youtube Hi-res version...and SD delivers!

On the left side there is a device to through ordnance over board in case of fire. Typical on US carriers, Kuznetsov has it not. It is new on Liaoning.
Also new is the vertical extension of the runway center line. An other thing that is typical on US carriers, Kuznetsov has it not.
The Chinese continue to develop Liaoning. They are optimizing the ship for intensive flight operations, which the sister vessel Kuznetsov has not yet experienced.
Which device is that, on Liaoning? And where is it present on US carriers?
I admit I've never heard of such a contraption before though it obviously makes sense.
Another new video showing even more flight deck operations (Popeye will like this)! With 116 carrying a buddy refuelling probe preparing for take off as well.
Also showing the various escorts of the CSG the Liaoning is travelling with, including at least 1x 052D, 1x 052C, 2x 054A and 1x 903A (possibly more having seen the posts above)
