seems like China is now full throttle ahead with its flat deck carrier program for CATOBAR
not only are we looking at a brand new carrier we are also looking at brand new era of air operations
the KJ600, never J15 and J35 aircraft
this puts China into a league of its own and it will be a good few years before we see the combination flying
and I clearly remember when the black smoke first came out of the funnels of the CV16 little over a decade ago, engined fired up for the first time
then came the black tyre marks on the deck after its sea trials showing that touch and go had occurred
how times have changed for PLAN
