BREAKING: China has carried out its first catapult-assisted launch and arrested landing drills aboard on an aircraft carrier. The Fujian is China’s 3rd aircraft carrier and first carrier with electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) catapults, which enable heavier payloads and higher sortie rates compared to the ski-jump ramps on its predecessors, Liaoning and Shandong. Footage shows J-15T and J-35 fighter jets taking off from the deck as well as KJ-600 AEW&C planes. The footage proves that China is now the second nation in the world (after the U.S.) operating an EMALS aircraft carrier. 🇨🇳🇺🇸

The Chinese Navy announced Monday that carrier-based aircraft J-15T, J-35 and KongJing-600 have successfully completed their inaugural electromagnetic catapult-assisted takeoff and arrested landing trainings on aircraft carrier, the Fujian. The success showed that China's first domestically built catapult-equipped aircraft carrier has obtained electromagnetic catapult launch and recovery capabilities, marking another breakthrough in the development of China's aircraft carriers. The Fujian is China’s first – and the world’s second after America’s USS Gerald R. Ford – aircraft carrier equipped with electromagnetic catapults.

‼️🇨🇳China’s Carrier Fleet Achieves Breakthrough with First Electromagnetic Catapult Launch. China’s next-generation carrier-based fighter, the J-15T, is making waves after showcasing its advanced catapult-launch system. This breakthrough gives the jet powerful short-distance takeoff capability while allowing it to carry heavier weapons and payloads. Alongside the stealthy J-35 and the airborne early warning aircraft KongJing-600, the J-15T has successfully completed its first electromagnetic catapult-assisted takeoff and arrested landing drills aboard China’s newest aircraft carrier, Fujian. A major milestone that signals China’s growing naval air power is now taking shape at sea.

❗️🇨🇳 China has deployed its newest aircraft carrier, Fujian, to sea amid rising tensions in the Pacific involving Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines. The advanced carrier was observed departing Yuchi Naval Base in Qingdao, before heading east into the Yellow Sea. The Fujian is equipped with electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS), comparable to those used on the U.S. Ford-class aircraft carrier, allowing it to launch heavier and more advanced aircraft at full fuel and weapons load.

This is how U.S. Navy fighter jets launch from aircraft carriers using a ship-mounted catapult system - and it's one of the most extreme accelerations humans regularly experience. In just about 3 seconds, the catapult slings the jet from 0 to nearly 300 mph, generating forces strong enough to pin pilots back into their seats. Modern carriers use steam catapults or the newer EMALS (Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System) to make it possible for heavy, fully loaded jets to take off from a runway shorter than a football field. Without this system, carrier aviation simply wouldn't exist. It's raw physics, precision timing, and engineering pushed to the absolute limit

🇺🇸 Trump Wants to Bring Steam Power Back to America’s Newest Carriers President Donald Trump has directed the U.S. Navy to redesign the fourth Ford class carrier, Doris Miller, and future carriers around traditional steam catapults instead of EMALS, according to U.S. officials cited by the Wall Street Journal. The first three carriers, USS Gerald R. Ford, John F. Kennedy and Enterprise, will retain EMALS. Trump has repeatedly criticized the electromagnetic system as too complex and unreliable, arguing that steam catapults are more dependable. If implemented, the decision would mark a major technological reversal for the U.S. Navy and could cost billions of dollars due to the extensive redesign required. The future of America’s aircraft carriers may be going back to steam.

JUST IN: 🇨🇳🇺🇸 China Is Building a Navy Designed to Challenge America's Dominance at Sea. China has just dropped stunning high resolution footage of its carrier based J-15 "Flying Shark" fighters armed with long range PL-15 beyond visual range missiles, and the message is impossible to miss. Beijing's carrier revolution: 🔰 3 aircraft carriers already in service. 🔰 A 4th carrier under construction. 🔰 EMALS electromagnetic catapult technology entering service. 🔰 J-35 fifth generation stealth fighters preparing for carrier deployment. 🔰 The world's largest navy by number of battle force ships continues to expand at an extraordinary pace. For decades, the U.S. Navy has ruled the world's oceans with unmatched carrier power, global reach, and combat experience. Now China is investing billions to build a fleet capable of contesting U.S. military power across the Indo Pacific. The balance of power at sea is no longer standing still. The biggest naval competition of the 21st century is unfolding in real time. 🌊 One ocean. Two superpowers. One historic rivalry.

BREAKING: The United States is considering deploying a second aircraft carrier, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, as the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is set to arrive near Israel. The reasoning, according to a U.S. defense official, is to "deter regional powers from joining the war." - WSJ The officials are deciding whether they want to have USS Eisenhower relieving the Ford group or keep both groups together. The USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is arriving to the area near Israel on Tuesday.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇷🇺 America isn’t just winning the 5th-generation fighter race, it’s pulling away. The F-35 program has surpassed 1,300 aircraft built and delivered, giving the US led program a production scale China and Russia have yet to match. China’s J-20 fleet is estimated at around 500, while Russia’s Su-57 fleet remains only in the dozens. The difference is staggering: 🇺🇸 F-35: 1,300+ 🇨🇳 J-20: ~500 🇷🇺 Su-57: dozens Stealth. Scale. Production. America’s biggest advantage may be the ability to build 5th-generation fighters at a scale its rivals still struggle to match.
