so the weird part for me about this is that this is still reported as news. China putting more ships further out from with nearby waters is just inevitable given the vast number of new ships that have come into service in the past decade. Once they get some experience operating further away in the first to second island chains, it will just be more prevalent going forward.

How does that rig work? I presume it needs at least 5 degrees of movement freedom to simulate arial refueling (up down, left right, and back forth - for the cockpit; and up down, left right - for the refuelling cone).

Additional movement freedom such as pitch and roll for the cockpit sim might be added for further realism, so 7 degrees of movement freedom?

I wonder how does the construction for those movements are done.

I think judging by the rails on the ground, the prop cockpit might be fixed spatially but the refueling hose is movable based on control input. It doesn't matter though cause for proper rating they'd use a actual simulator

The extention pole, the base plate, the electric motor and the sideward movement track is built as a single platform unit that move along the forward and backward track.
