PLA Navy conducted naval mine drill in the South China Sea
[/QUOTE]
It is the fleet’s first time conducting such drill in the area. The drill was far more high level and difficult in comparison to those the PLA had conducted in the past, indicating a further advancement for Chinese PLA Navy's ability.

Ongoing PLAN J-15 Pilot Qualifications on the Liaoning, CV-16, Aircraft Carrier
Recently another group of pilots went through initial qualification training off of the PLAN Aircraft Carrier, Liaoning, CV-16. They have certified several groups of pilots since commissioning the carrier. They seem to be using six to eight J-15 production aircraft each time they do this.
We known and have seen that the PLAN has received one or two "batched" of production J-15 aircraft totaling 18 aircraft. 100-117. In that time, aircraft number 117, along with its pilot was lost in a mishap, but they still have at least 17 aircraft, and indications are that another batch has been produced or is on the verge of being produced.
With the second Chinese carrier about to be launched within a few months, and strong indications that the initial manufacturing of a third carrier has begun, the Chinese are going to continue to need qualified pilots, so this endeavor will continue.
What follows is three posts of pictures from a documentary film the PLAN put out regarding this experience.
