CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

It looks like quite a few real J-15s are on the flight deck.

I think I also see a JL-10 / L-15 or its naval version

Hmm?? I think we have seen altogether one J-35 and two J-15 mock-ups before and this does not look as if there are more even more since it is too blurry to be sure

You're right. I mistook the shape of the KJ-600 for a couple of J-15s because its antenna dish blended in with that white stripe in the background.

Self-explanatory.

Just a nice CGI of what Fujian could eventually look like once she achieves FOC, based on the photo in the post just above. Made by @高山CG on Weibo.

Its likely the ship carry small nuclear reactor to power the electronic and EM catapult.

No. Just, no.

I thought this debate has been settled a long time ago - Fujian does not have (and will never have) nuclear propulsion.

Do you have anything better to do than posting this statement? There shouldn't be a debate to begin with as all the information available are quite clear.

You are wrong. The nuclear reactor will be used for powering the hot tub.

Just the hot tub only.
