Now this is the problem i have been saying all along, Liaoning cannot bring out 100% of the J-15, why don't they wait for their own CATOBAR Carrier comes out first, then introduce the J-15? It's like you have a sniper rifle that it can shoot accurately within 5000 yards, but you purposely test them on a pistol range.......
CATOBAR and STOBAR/STOVL carrier are two different operation, hence it is seperated in the US Military. USMC command STOBAR OPs while USN command CATOBAR OPs
First we had the hull, so it's a lot easier and cheaper not to mention faster.
Second, having no experience with a carrier, we can't just go into it head first with nothing, so a test of some kind is needed, so refer to point one.
Third US is not keen to help us, maybe Russia, but they are not a great naval nation to begin with so their experience in this field is well limited.
So taking everything into consideration, you still think it's possible to do what you propose?
