Announcement! Fujian Ship officially enters service!
As the first aircraft carrier independently designed and built by China, the Fujian Ship has finally been officially delivered to the People's Liberation Army Navy after more than two years of intensive testing, marking that China's navy has officially entered the era of three aircraft carriers.
The most remarkable breakthrough of the Fujian Ship lies in its fully upgraded carrier aircraft system. In September this year, it was officially confirmed that the J-15T, J-35, and KJ-600 carrier-based aircraft have successfully completed catapult takeoff and landing training on the Fujian Ship, announcing that the Fujian Ship has become the world's first aircraft carrier to carry catapulted stealth carrier-based aircraft.
The key to the significant enhancement of the Fujian Ship's combat capability is the application of the electromagnetic catapult system. This system not only allows various types of carrier-based aircraft to take off with full load, but also greatly improves the takeoff efficiency, which will significantly enhance the ability of our naval carrier battle groups to seize air superiority and maritime supremacy.
In terms of combat capability, the new generation of stealth carrier-based aircraft, the J-35, and the upgraded J-15T with catapult capabilities form a high-low combination, which can significantly enhance the air superiority and strike capabilities of our carrier-based aviation forces; the addition of the KJ-600 early warning aircraft has completely solved the problem of fixed-wing early warning aircraft being deployed on board, greatly expanding the battlefield awareness range of our carrier battle groups.
At the same time, with the official delivery of the Fujian Ship, the operational use of our carrier battle groups will become more flexible and diverse.
After the Fujian Ship forms a coordinated combat capability with the Liaoning Ship and Shandong Ship, it is not only a key step for the Chinese navy to move towards the deep blue, but also accumulates key technologies for the subsequent development of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, which has profound strategic significance for China to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and effectively respond to regional security challenges.
