New satellite imagery has shown that China may have started construction on a new aircraft carrier. This would be their second one, in addition to refurbished Soviet-era flattop they finished sea trials with last year. When the construction is finished, it’ll be China’s first carrier made in their country. But images leaked from The National Interest shows that it doesn’t look very much like a carrier at all, which is to be expected, considering that China doesn’t have the experience or skill to make anything like modern U.S. carriers. Perhaps this is why they’re so interested in hacking American intelligence.
Go to the next page to read more about the carrier.
Maybe it doesn’t look like a good aircraft carrier because it isn’t really an aircraft carrier. Maybe it’s just a platform for long range missiles.
Looks like a US Navy fast attack sub torpedo target to me!
Suprise
The carrier in the picture is not even the one they are discussing in the article. They just used it to grab attention.
This was already reported on a few years ago when China purchased the hull… It’s an old Russian aircraft carrier hull. Big deal.
The statement of ” they do not have the technology to build a carrier scares me. They also thought that the Japanese could not fly airplanes because of limited eyesight. Then Pearl Harbor happened. We need to be proud, but never ignorant to another country’s drive and ability.
It is a keiv class boat from Russia…. They are not very big..they have 1 so called carrir to our 11 or 12 depending.
A piece of junk! First typhoon it encounters, at min. it will be on it’s side!
Ski jump
Yes, it is the same carrier they’re talking about in the “article”. If you could call it an article…
