I'll forgive CCTV's two-day delay, cuz this video is indeed a masterpiece from many perspectives, and a treasure for OSINT. Many scenes are never seen before.

Trump after watching this: Make USS Gerald R. Ford ready, I'll also be on deck and push the catapult button in person tomorrow, if it works as cool as Chinese ones in the footage, I will revert my decision to cancel following EMALS carriers. :cool:

And 1 year, 6 months and 4 days since the first trial. So basically 18 months from first trial.

And if we already have 81 J-35’s then soon there will be as many J-35s as there are F-35C’s and the production rates of J-35 and J-35A must already be way over 100 per year.
