China's Fujian aircraft carrier completes training for the catapult takeoff and landing of three types of carrier-based aircraft for the first time.

Good news came early in the morning!

The Singapore-based Straits Times reported today: "On Monday (September 22), the Chinese Navy announced that the J-15T, J-35, and KJ-600 carrier-based aircraft have successfully completed their first catapult takeoff and landing training on the Fujian aircraft carrier. This is the first time that China has achieved electromagnetic catapult takeoff and arrested landing of multiple advanced carrier-based aircraft on a catapult-type aircraft carrier. Experts believe that this training will provide key support for carrying out long-range combat missions and accelerating the strategic transformation of the Chinese Navy from 'coastal defense' to 'far-sea defense'."

At the beginning of the month, the "September 3rd military parade" showcased new equipment and strategic weapons, shocking the world. Soon after, China's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, conducted its ninth sea trial. For the first time, it passed through the Taiwan Strait to conduct scientific research and training missions in the South China Sea area. This action is highly similar to what was done one month before the Shandong aircraft carrier officially joined the fleet. The outside world thus predicts that its commissioning is imminent, and experts further predict that it is highly likely to be commissioned within this year. Now, another good news has come, as the three types of carrier-based aircraft on the Fujian have completed their first takeoff and landing training, further confirming that the Fujian is about to be officially commissioned.

As experts said, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy's accelerated transition to far-sea operations demonstrates China's firm strength in safeguarding sovereignty and development interests. This serves as a strong warning to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces on the island, and a powerful deterrence to external forces that eye China with ill intentions.
