The key is that the one on the right is expected to have a new radar installed on its top, in addition to the engine exhaust. The radar may be something like the one on top of a Z-19. That also means the new engines have enough power to support it. Looks like they are going to Mars with the...

IMHO the chance to see the unveiling or even maiden flight of some new aircraft ( that include even J-35, H-20) is high. There are July 1st, Oct 1st, August 1st, Apr 23rd, Nov 11th every year, but the 100th Anniversary of CCP is just truly different. It's BIG! It's historic! Only the 100th...

Hudong Zhonghua Land Cruiser :-)

It beat everyone's expectation ... Simply WOW!

IMHO the public display of this mockup means either the project is terminated or it will change a lot before joining PLA and it's probably almost ready for its maiden flight.

According to 瀚海狼山, the decision to get rid of the 3rd elevator on Type 003 was to make it combat ready ASAP because the crew would be familiar with the deck operations currently conducted on Liaoning and Shandong.

China successfully launches mission sending astronauts to new space station By Jessie Yeung and Yong Xiong, CNN Updated 11:05 PM ET, Wed June 16, 2021 Hong Kong (CNN) -- China successfully launched three astronauts into space on Thursday, bringing the country one step closer to completing its...

Shenzhou-12: China launches first crew to new space station China has launched three astronauts into orbit to begin occupation of the country's new space station. The three men - Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo - are to spend three months aboard the Tianhe module some 380km (236...

China launches crewed spacecraft Shenzhou-12 in historic mission Carlos Garcia The Long March-2F Y12 rocket, carrying the Shenzhou-12 spacecraft and three astronauts, takes off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center for China's first manned mission to build its space station, near Jiuquan...

IMHO it makes little sense by releasing two pictures of the same object in the same environment at the same time if one wants to convince/mislead others by PS.

It looks a little too small and disappointing to me. PLAN should get a larger one. The FC-31 should go up a size like from F-18C/D to F-18E/F.

China releases new Mars image taken by Tianwen-1 probe Source: Xinhua| 2021-06-07 18:29:09|Editor: huaxia A new image released by the China National Space Administration (CNSA), taken by a high-resolution camera installed on the orbiter of Tianwen-1 at 6 p.m. on June 2 (Beijing Time), shows...

The smaller than expected deck size might be the major reason why there is no 3rd elevator on the port side. According to the settings of the game Carrier Deck, elevators can be used to park the planes but cannot be used to prepare the planes. If that's true, an elevator, especially a big one...

J-10A might be another example.

Now it's clear that Type 003 is the Chinese version of Kitty Hawk. The dimension and displacement will all be close to Kitty Hawk. The original design was aiming Kitty Hawk, a 80K tonner with conventional propulsion, even though the design was changed in the middle to make sue of EMALS. It's not...

I think his comments were just sarcastic. Everyone knows that Gordon Chang has been predicting China to collapse since twenty years ago. He's absolutely an icon. :rofl:

In the battle time, there are always planes (fighters, AWACS, or even tankers) in the sky and they need to be recovered from time to time... And there are planes of the previous wave to be recovered too.

The reason might be structure strength and $$$. The cost is operation efficiency and redundancy. It's always a compromising, but I still think it's not a good choice. I read a few articles analyzing the deck and hangar operations efficiency. If taking the efficiency of having 4 elevators as 100...

Before the actual launch, the planes need to be prepared. To increase the size of an attack wave, which can be critical, the area after the 3rd catapult is important. It can accommodate at least three to four planes on Type 003. One of the changes Shandong had over Liaoning is a new weapon...

Without the 3rd elevator the planes in the hangar have to cross the flight deck to use the 3rd catapult. That will cause trouble when receiving planes in a hurry.
