CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

[Hendrik_2000]

Navalized J10 range is over 1000 miles so if it venture out 400 miles shouldnt that be sufficient?

WS10 is a mature engine now.

Most ground based anti ship missile has a range of up to 350 mile some even more but for the sake of argument . 350 miles is the limit on Intermediate range treaty banning any missile for sale longer than 350 miles range.
So assuming J 10, 500 mile radius of operation. It is limited to strike 150 mile target from the coast Now is that kind flexibility that you want for attack mode?

Now as CAP and fleet protection some of the air to surface missile range can reach 400 miles. do you want your opponent to be that close to AC?. You only have 100 miles margin that can be reached in less than 10 min

Guys ... this is the Type 003 carrier thread and not for a pure hypothetical What-if carrierborne J-10.

I feel like the blurred part was the most important part of the image.

It is not simply blurred, but reshuffled / replaced from other places as well.


The blurred part could be just a simple black square ,it would have the same amount of information .

Forget the blurred images

why do we have 7 x LCAC in at JNCX after 28 months of being commissioned ?

I guess it’s better than 10 we normally see

Heh, i dont think theres much of a tease. We had a photo just a week ago. Even blurred, the construction is aproximatly the same. You cant build a carrier in a month. More patience is needed.

Somewhat unrelated. The 'old' fabrication/staging area. I wonder what they are making now.
