Nice CGI and all, but this should be posted in the Fanart, PS and CG Thread instead. There are several ships in this CG table that are fictional in terms of design, role or both.

There are also several "duplicates" (those labelled as "-G"s) which shouldn't be present in the first place, especially when the distinctions between the base and upgraded variants aren't significant enough to warrant a separate sub-class of its own.

Maldives seemingly unfazed by India's objections:

In conjunction with the recent revelation of a J-35 mockup spotted onboard Liaoning, here I found something very spicy coming from :

Now, the two major aerospace corporations in the north and south (referring to Chengdu and Shenyang) are working hard to develop short/vertical take-off and landing (aircraft) models, just wait and see.

This does remind of that S/VTOL fighter patent from Chengdu AC last year:




And these as well (bottom photo from Shenyang AC):

A waste of time. Just put catapults on the LHDs. The mythical Type 076.
The Soviets also spent a lot of time making equivalents to useless US equipment. This might look cool but it's kind of pointless. Minimal payload and crash prone.

This does seem like a great time to develop this though, airframe breakthroughs have been made, and the extra components here doesn’t seem to be very dangerous.

Having stealthy fast jets that can operate from helicopter pads is awesome, of course for the Type 075 but why not also on a Type 055, especially if it is for situational awareness.

You can just use drones for situational awareness.

Pop3 is once again deleting his account so we probably won't see him for a well. His final message & Machine translated:

1、人民海军大规模研制、推进无人舰艇的计划正在有序推进中，坚信今年就能看到、起码的、局部的成果；

1. PLAN is promoting unmanned ships construction/development plan at a large scale, (I) firmly believe that we will be able to see, at least, part of the results this year

2、055型驱逐舰的后续型号的研制，进展非常顺利，其概念绝对是国际领先的，055型舰的对手只有中国自己；

2. The development of the successor of the Type 055 destroyer is progressing very well, and its concept is definitely an international leader, and the rival of the Type 055 ship is only China itself;

3、核动力航母的研制工作正在有序展开，期间进行过数次调整，怪谁啊？谁让土鳖的技术发展的太快了呢？

3. The development of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is being carried out in an orderly manner, during which several adjustments have been made, so who is to blame? Who can blame that China is developing its technology too fast? (so they have adjust the original plan)

4、水下的东西，俺以前几乎从不涉及，但于无声处听惊雷吧，最快今年会有消息的；

4. I've almost never been involved in underwater stuff (SSN/SSBN) before, but let's hear it in silence, we'll hear something this year at the earliest;

5、。。。。。。有些事还是不说了吧，俺怕说秃噜嘴了，但请坚信，我人民海军的技术水平，已经是站在全世界各国之巅了。

5. ………… Some things are better left unsaid, I'm afraid I am disclosing too much, but please firmly believe that the technical level of PLAN is already on top of all countries in the world.

Apparently pop3 got fed up because someone he had disagreements with in the forum was calling him all kinds of names, jeers and mocking, and even went as far as wishing him and his family dead on the 1st day of the Chinese New Year (which is definitely a BIG NO NO), and that the forum moderators didn't act swift and/or decisive enough to mute/ban that person.

This is an absolutely unwelcoming development for all of us who are watching PLAN developments. Hopefully we will meet him somewhere else on the internet later.

I'm sure he'd be very welcome to post here on SDF!
