Le 2e porte-avions chinois est rentré au port de Dalian ce matin après sa 4e sortie à la mer qui a duré 12 jours. Comme ce qu'il a été suggéré précédemment, aucune trace d'appontage quelconque, qui dans tous les cas est trop tôt à ce stade de tests.

The 2nd Chinese aircraft carrier returned to Dalian's port this morning after its 4th sea-trip which lasted 12 days. Like what was suggested previously, no trace of any landing, which in any case is too early at this stage of testing.

Would there be enough J-15 series available, including pilots?

Yes!

8 for Liaoning, 8 for 002, and some as backup.

 

[Air Force Brat]

There is no doubt that they are most probably CAD/CAE/CAM files which are driving the build of the 001A.

Their master files for the 001A is what we would have called blue prints in an earlier day...but those master files, in whatever from they have taken, are no doubt what has been created by and used by the Chinese to build this ship.

Yep!

The 2nd Chinese aircraft carrier could conduct its 5th test at sea from January 21st to 28th, in an area 90 km southeast of Dalian port. But this remains to be confirmed.
