China's first aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapult system, the Fujian, has officially entered service, marking China's entry into the era of three aircraft carriers. The significance of this event needs no further explanation, as everyone can understand it clearly.

Notably, the Russian state media "Sputnik" reported on this matter immediately. After reporting all the details of the commissioning ceremony, the Russian media made a comment on the Fujian. It said: "The Fujian was completely independently designed and built by China, and its electromagnetic catapult technology is at the world's advanced level!"

The evaluation from the Russian state media is quite objective, without any jealousy towards China, but rather an excitement that "it's a great honor to be a friend of China."

Pay attention to the sentence "its electromagnetic catapult technology is at the world's advanced level." The commentary believes that this is meant for the United States. We know that in late October, Trump publicly stated in a speech: "The US military will abandon the electromagnetic catapult system, and we will return to the steam catapult era!"

Whether Trump was just speaking off the cuff or not, it is certain that he was stimulated by the Fujian. Because in September, China officially announced that the Fujian had completed the "three consecutive launches," which means that the Fujian became the world's first aircraft carrier to actually launch fifth-generation carrier-based aircraft using electromagnetic catapult. China achieved what the US failed to do, so Trump decided to give up!

At the same time, the evaluation of the Fujian by the Russian state media also carries a bit of envy. After all, although in many global military rankings, the US military ranks first, Russia ranks second, and China ranks third. However, in the issue of aircraft carriers, the Russian Navy has long been the subject of ridicule among global military fans.

In July 2025, the Russian newspaper "Message" reported that Russia's only active aircraft carrier, the "Admiral Kuznetsov" of the Russian Navy, might be put into storage. As for the future, its fate may have two options: 1. Dismantling and scrapping; 2. Selling.

Regarding this matter, the chairman of the board of the United Shipbuilding Group, Ksykin, expressed great helplessness, saying: "We have to do this because the carrier has lost its repair value, and the daily maintenance costs are extremely high." Currently, the way to implement this matter is still being discussed by the Russian authorities, and there has been no final decision yet. Perhaps the Russians are too attached to this carrier and find it hard to let go.

In summary, when China officially enters the "era of three aircraft carriers," Russia may lose its only active aircraft carrier. This comparison may bring some sadness to Russian military fans. However, currently, Sino-Russian relations are in a "honeymoon period," and the Russians should also feel proud to be good friends with China. On various social media platforms, many Russian military fans have expressed their congratulations to China, and they are happy to see the strength of the Chinese navy. To these Russian friends, we want to say: "Thank you!" Next, let's see what reaction the Pentagon will have tonight! It is necessary for Pentagon staff to work overtime tonight, but we don't know what kind of statements they will make to regain their dignity. Based on our understanding of Trump, he will definitely express his opinion. More information, let us continue to follow together.
