It uses steam turbine not gas turbine.
CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
It's taken from satellite per the article.
It's real
With the flags up and everything, it is either happening in the next couple of days, or it's a dress rehearsal for later in the month.
The Copium Zone, coping with some interesting orientalism thrown in for good measure
"pointed out on Twitter that June 15, the new possible date for the Type 003's launch, happens to be the birthday of Chinese President Xi Jinping and would be a "very appropriate gift."

Chinese President Xi Jinping has a birthday tomorrow, June 15th.
Hitting a new low, for the PLA Watching profession. LOL.
Yeah, that's why. They don't have much new or meaningful to write about, so quoting these non-expert experts to fill the space.

The way The Warzone appears to live rent free in some folks heads never ceases to amaze me. A weird love hate relationship. But in any case, I appreciate they actually provide a neat new satellite shot that doesnt have death wishes to my grandmother or something plastered over it. I mean there is that.
I "enjoy" hate-reading The Warzone and getting angry at it, and sometimes it offered some interesting takes on the analysis side when they aren't being racist.
After the war in Ukraine they have become lazy, though, and could as well be called The Captain Obvious Zone

Banners and flags could be shown in the last hour.
