Re: Aircraft Carriers II

what happened to my post? I don't think this site is 100% yet after the hacking event. Probably still has some bugs that need to be addressed.

in this news video clip, the mentioned company "JuFeng" had provided the "insulation system" for catapult for the first indigenous Chinese carrier.

That could mean a couple of things:
- The Chinese have decided to go with a CATOBAR carrier (aka flattop), but why did the military insider say that it will be built at Dalian which produced the ramp proposal?
- this is another false flag video and it's for another vessel

Times of India said:
NEW DELHI: After a long running saga of hard-nosed negotiations since the late-1990s, cost escalations, refit delays and mishaps, aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya has finally completed its extensive sea trials in Russia. The 44,570-tonne warship, or the refurbished Admiral Gorshkov, is now all set to be handed over to India in mid-November.

Defence ministry sources on Tuesday said INS Vikramaditya has "now successfully" finished its series of "sustained full-power and aviation trials" in the White and Barents seas. "The carrier will now head back to the harbour at Severodvinsk. It will then be made ready for the commissioning on November 15. It will reach Indian shores, with an Indian crew commanded by Captain Suraj Berry, in early-2014," said a source.
