CCTV News: On September 25, 2012, the Liaoning ship was officially delivered to the navy, and the Chinese aircraft carrier era officially set sail. As an important symbol of naval transformation and a representative of new combat forces, in the past ten years of reform and strengthening the army, the naval aircraft carrier force with the Liaoning ship as the "first ship" has accelerated its transformation and construction and accelerated its combat capabilities, and explored a growth trajectory of aircraft carrier force construction with Chinese characteristics .
In the past two days, China's third aircraft carrier Fujian ship is carrying out a series of equipment installation and debugging work, and related test tasks are also being promoted in a synchronous and orderly manner. As the first domestically produced catapult aircraft carrier, the birth of the Fujian ship has profound significance for the development of the aircraft carrier force.
On September 25, 2012, the Liaoning ship was officially delivered to the navy, and the era of China's aircraft carrier officially set sail. Since then, the Liaoning ship has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the People's Navy's transformation, cutting through the waves, accelerating the exploration of the construction of the aircraft carrier troops and accelerating the extension to the distant oceans. In the past ten years of reform and strengthening the army, the Liaoning ship has achieved brilliant achievements in taking off and landing day and night, breaking through the island chain, and practical deployment and system operations.
If the aircraft carrier is compared to the "pioneer" of the Chinese Navy's advance into the deep blue, then the aircraft carrier-based aircraft is the "iron fist" of the Chinese Navy to show its sword and far sea. In 2017, the aircraft carrier-based aircraft unit successfully achieved night takeoff and landing on the Liaoning ship for the first time.
Night air partners refueling, maritime ultra-low altitude penetration, ship-based air-sea confrontation training... In order to shorten the gap with advanced countries in the world, batches of carrier-based aircraft have tried their best and jointly supported the "flying altitude" of formation combat effectiveness with aircraft carriers, winning the future battlefield between sea and sky.
