Breaking News! CCTV officially exposed the electromagnetic catapult test of the Fujian aircraft carrier! The J-15T fighter jet flew over the deck, and one action made the blood boil!
According to CCTV's military report on July 30, in the trailer of the recent special military program "Struggle for Victory," the footage of multiple rounds of carrier-based fighter jet takeoff and catapult tests on the "Fujian" was shown to the public for the first time. Not only did it include the loud engine roar from the second catapult takeoff position, but also showed the scene of the J-15T carrier-based fighter jet flying over the flight deck of the "Fujian." This publicly released footage indicates that the "Fujian" has completed its first electromagnetic catapult takeoff test, and also completed low-altitude pass and touch-down re-fly tasks on the "Fujian."
The video shows that before the first electromagnetic catapult experiment on the "Fujian," there were no relevant experiences with carrier-based aircraft takeoffs and landings. However, the relevant experimental units resolutely implemented the struggle, completing the related testing tasks.
Notably:
1. The J-15T carrier-based fighter jet flying over the projection of the "Fujian" aircraft carrier's flight deck is actually at a very low altitude, and the personnel near the deck are standing, indicating that the aircraft passed the deck at a low altitude.
2. From the appearance of the maintenance workers wearing service vests on the "Fujian" flight deck, those wearing green service vests have the word "catapult" written on their backs, while those wearing yellow vests have the word "takeoff" written on their backs. Before this, the Shandong and Liaoning carriers used the ski-jump takeoff method, so these two carriers did not have catapult takeoff positions. This clearly proves that this carrier is undoubtedly the "Fujian."
3. From the video, it can be seen that the takeoff personnel and catapult personnel on the "Fujian" flight deck ran to the position of the elevator-type catapult observation window, then crouched down and immediately observed the flight deck platform, and directed the entire process of the carrier-based aircraft catapulting into the air. After the ship's commander confirmed that the takeoff measures were correct, he gave orders to the catapult operators to allow the carrier-based aircraft to take off from the second catapult position. This indicates that the "catapult takeoff" has been successfully completed.
4. Unlike previous video footage of the "Fujian" experiments, in this video, the personnel responsible for the catapult takeoff position wore green service vests, whereas before the actual catapult test, this position's personnel wore yellow service vests.
