Subotai- for your information, Want China Times isn't regarded highly here on SDF. I'm not saying you must stop using it or anything...


Honestly, if I could decide myself, then anyone quoting anything from WantChinaTimes - other than for fun - and even more arguing with it as a "source" should be banned for lifetime immediately.

I found nothing about PLAN ship LIAONING CV-16.:(

And if they did go to sea with 15 J-15s where are the pictures? I wanna see them!

Popeye...that site only has so many days of "news" on that page...and when it scrolls off, I could not find an archive for the older news.

As I say, it sounded more official...but there was no link or source given for the information so I sort of took it with a grain of salt.

Yes, that's on the forum. I was talking about the "News," page.

The two quotes (which I believe both referred back to the scrolling daily news page on Marineforum when they were on there) are:

Sicherheitspolitik "Sure Politics" said:
14 March
CHINA
A senior naval officer has told media, China „is building” its second aircraft carrier … most explicit confirmation yet of a widely expected move.

Sicherheitspolitik "Sure Politics" said:
27 April

CHINA
Aircraft carrier LIAONING has begun embarking operational (vs. test/training aircraft) J-15 carrier-based fighter jets ... sources indicate will eventually be able to carry up to 24 such fighter jets ... only recently (10-18 Apr) reported in flight training in Bohai Bay.

Once again, nice quotes, but the link is back to the Daily News page, and at the time, there was no other source.

so what I remember reading is that there will be more involved exercises later this year. Although it would be hard to believe that they can carry 24 J-15s. The image with the 4 J-15s might be from this most recent exercise.
