The People's Navy has released a video showing the aircraft carrier "Fujian" launching the air early warning aircraft Z-600, the stealth fighter J-35, and the heavy fighter J-15T. It is truly a cause for joy and pride, making us Chinese people proud! So, what does this reflect about the combat capabilities of the "Fujian" aircraft carrier strike group in terms of ground and ship strikes?
The operational system of the aircraft carrier "Fujian" is now completely consistent with that of the U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. We can directly refer to the U.S. Navy's operational doctrines. The U.S. Navy stipulates that after using space-based reconnaissance satellites and other means for pre-war reconnaissance, it also needs to continue using E-2C/D carrier-based early warning aircraft or P-3C/P-8 land-based patrol aircraft for aerial reconnaissance, surveillance, target designation, and pre-strike confirmation during the proximity of the battle and at the beginning of the battle. Therefore, the early warning aircraft are very important in offensive operations and are a necessary platform.
Then, when the target enters within 1000 kilometers of the aircraft carrier, the F/A-18E/F aircraft take off from the carrier to first launch the "Extended Range SLAM" and "Joint Standoff Weapon" missiles for long-range strikes. Then, the EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft conduct soft kill and "HARM" anti-radiation missiles for hard kill. Finally, the F-35C and F/A-18E/F fighter bombers use the "Harpoon" or NSM anti-ship missiles for the main strike. Sometimes, surface ships' task forces or nuclear submarines will also launch missiles for ship strikes in advance.
Of course, when converted into our Fujian carrier strike group, we can see that our system is equally complete, and the ammunition we use is more numerous, stronger, even with longer range and larger missile attack waves. How happy it is!
