This angle is incredulous to me. I didn't know Chang Xing (长兴) island is this close to Lu Jia Zui (陆家嘴).

Hi,
by the way what is the use of mockup on ACC, to check weight ration or
some other reason behind it
thank you

Do you mean air-craft catapults? Could be used for what you state or for other training..such as firefighting, rescue and aircraft handling.

I think mock-ups are just for different types of training. The training helps the sailors aboard CV-18 be prepared when real aircraft are aboard.

I believe the Chinese use these mockup of fighters on their carrier for testing their systems such as their electronic ouija board. There's no point in using real fighters when other systems such as the arrestor gear and catapults aren't ready.
