Did you forgot that we have video with 13 J15 onboard Liaoning from the latest exercise

This picture is clearly photoshopped, and posted weeks ago.

Where's David Axe? I haven't heard from him in a while.

Surely already writing his next report.

A lot of PS'ing going on there.

You can tell by the imaging around the wheels in the white stripe, how they are all exactly the same, except they do not have the shade of white matching where they cut and pasted.

Still the most seen earlier I believe is this one with eight or nine J-15 on deck, though it seems there is one with more. I will find it:

Yep! I believe the latest photos show 13 J-15's on the CV-16.

There was a screen of a parking board showing 126 so it could mean another 13 units are somewhere

The second batch of J15 is underway but the highest serial so far is 120?

I catch an interesting data Kuznetsov Class Liaoning also ofc surely Indian Vikram. this name ! can launch to max 1 aircraft by mn.
Nimitz 1 all the 20 sec, Ford all the 11 sec i think with 2 cats Charles De Gaulle all the 40 sec.

Important for a big airstrike the first launched already consumes fuel for coordination also.

I'm not sure if you're suggesting that the Liaoning can only launch 1 aircraft/min, but I find this impossible to believe even on a superficial level.

I'm guessing he meant from position 3(aft position) only?
