These units equipment is decidedly old school. Something to do with terrain? Soviets also used T-55s in the mountain areas of Afghanistan because T-72 suspension couldn't take the beating.

Those aircraft cannot take off with a full load from a ski jump. No way. Nice video never-the-less.
 
PLAN Hype video for CV-16. As stated these aircraft CANNOT take off with a full load. Those J-15 "Flying Sharks" are BIG aircraft. The J-15 is as large as an old RA-5C Vigilante. With no tanker and a ski jump..trust me they can't get very far.

Yep, no loadout at all on those J-15's, I reckon everything is simply training and learning until they can get a fully CATOBAR carrier off the slips

I'm surprised that Russia still sells Su-35s to China, considering the previous issues with copying intellectual property on previous Sukois.

the Russians have been developing the Su-57/T-50 since 2002 and have as of yet to my knowledge have not produced an fully operation aircraft only prototypes. nine I think:rolleyes:..China has an operational "stealth" stealth fighter the J-20. With questionable ablity and engines. Six are in service. The Chinese have had major issues with the engines. Some folks feel the engine issues are solved.
