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.

Christopher: you raise a strong point, but every time you see a TV show or news cast regarding our technology, we give them our ideas and help them catch up to us.
While we cannot prevent or stop other countries from building weapons we have to remain powerful enough to prevent them from even thinking about using these weapons against the US.
Kusnetsov/Kremlin Class – The ex-Riga/Varyag … More Soviet second hand cold war leftovers…
They have a steep curve to climb if they want true carrier operations. Their carrier flying experience is pretty close to nil so they can expect high casualties learning the ropes.
just because you can build a carrier, doesn’t mean you can perform flight operations from said carrier
The Chinese have been training Carrier Pilots and Crews for Two Years now….
Never underestimate the Chinese. We said exactly the same thing about the japanese in the 30’s.
I think it is a “transformer”.
Is the second one going to be a sky slope shorty carrier also. Or is it going to be longer with a flat flight deck??
Dont sell the Chinese short. They are incredibly intelligent and resourceful people. They have always been mighty.
