This is the first time in history that such an event has occurred. This gives a glimpse into how China might deploy its ships during, say, an attack on Taiwan. The Telegraph writes about this. China has sent all of its aircraft carriers to sea for the first time in history As the publication writes, last weekend all three Chinese aircraft carriers – the former Soviet Liaoning, its locally produced sister ship Shandong, and the newest, largest, and best Chinese-made aircraft carrier Fujian – were at sea. It is noted that Fujian is conducting tests in the Yellow Sea. “Shandong” was in the South China Sea west of Taiwan with escort vessels, while “Liaoning” and escort vessels were in the Philippine Sea east of Taiwan. Interestingly, “Fujian” is not yet in service with the Chinese army. However, when it joins the fleet, China will become the world's second-largest aircraft carrier force, ahead of the double-deck Royal Navy and the Indian Navy. However, it will lag behind the United States Navy. The publication writes that China's carriers are smaller than those of the United States: “Liaoning” and “Shandong” have a displacement of about 60,000 tons, and “Fujian” – about 70,000 tons. Their air component is smaller and, most importantly, only the Fujian has catapults – there are 3 of them – and can launch J-15 and (in the future) J-35 fighters at maximum weight. As The Telegraph writes, the fact that the Chinese have sent 3 aircraft carriers to sea at once is ominous for Taiwan. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail alex previous post Nephew stole bones of dead uncle and blackmailed family: what did he demand next post Dynamo's match schedule in the 2024/25 Europa League You may also like Dynamo's match schedule in the 2024/25 Europa League 25.09.2024 About two dozen occupiers taken prisoner at the... 25.09.2024 Another explosion in Cologne: cafe burned down, there... 25.09.2024 Helped Russia advance on Pokrovsk: SBU detains Russian... 25.09.2024 Attacks on Russian arsenals show how the West... 25.09.2024 Zelensky spoke about further actions in case Biden... 25.09.2024 Zelensky met with Erdogan: what topics did the... 25.09.2024 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Explodes During Test in Russia... 25.09.2024 He won't admit his mistakes: will Putin agree... 25.09.2024 The body of one is still being searched... 25.09.2024 Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
