No amount of copium can change the fact that the U.S. has exactly one carrier with EMALS, same as China.Read a lot of copium in Wapo comment section on Fujian launching

It's actually great that people continue to downplay China's military advancements. It's a lot better to have the U.S. public underestimate China's capabilities than overestimate/exaggerate them like they did with the USSR.No amount of copium can change the fact that the U.S. has exactly one carrier with EMALS, same as China.
LMAO. I'm pretty sure that would be great for China regardless. For some reason this reminds me of another superpower that spent its way to collapse.It's actually great that people continue to downplay China's military advancements.

Imagine if this triggered something like the bomber gap where U.S. policy makers decided to double down on military procurement in response.
in WW2 they said that Japanese military was weak because they copied Germans on everything and their eyes were too squinty to be good pilots anyways.It's actually great that people continue to downplay China's military advancements.

How time flies! I remember this photo was taken in June 2021~An older image showing the island being lowered by gantry crane onto the deck.
and the fact that the army and navy hated each other to point of purposely sabotaging each other in spite.in WW2 they said that Japanese military was weak because they copied Germans on everything and their eyes were too squinty to be good pilots anyways.
only the stupidity of imperial Japan's strategy and weak economy saved them.
But we got the nicer ass.F & F——Ford and Fujian, how sexy they are!

I've always wanted to see a Flanker variant taking off from a CATOBAR carrier, so bad that at some point I was hoping US would acquire some Su-33 just to make fetish a reality.
