Chinese aircraft carrier Small Step run: the third domestic aircraft carrier or nuclear power
Expert: China’s aircraft carrier develops the third domestic aircraft carrier or nuclear power
People’s Daily Online, Beijing, April 12 (reporter Huang Zijuan) recently, the news that China’s first domestic aircraft carrier was about to launch attracted widespread attention. Military expert Major General Xu Guangyu said in an interview with Beijing TV Station “military intelligence decoding” that from the current situation, the development of Chinese aircraft carriers will still be “small steps to run”. When building the third domestic aircraft carrier, there should be a big leap, which may be the take-off mode of nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and electromagnetic catapult.

At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Defense on March 30, when a reporter asked whether the first domestic aircraft carrier might be launched on April 23, Wu Qian, deputy director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of Defense, said, “China’s first domestic aircraft carrier is carrying out outfitting work, and the progress is very smooth. As for further good news, I believe it will not keep you waiting.”
When it comes to the highlights of the first domestic aircraft carrier, some military experts believe that there are only a few countries in the world that can independently build aircraft carriers. China’s first domestic aircraft carrier is completely completed by our independent and self-reliant forces, the carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing facilities, radar communication facilities, radio facilities and other technologies on the aircraft carrier are excellent, which shows that the level of China’s national defense industry has been greatly improved. In addition, although this aircraft carrier is not the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world, it is in line with China’s national conditions and needs. This also shows that we do not threaten anyone, but we are not afraid of any enemies.

So, what is the development of China’s future aircraft carriers? Xu Guangyu, a military expert, believes that from the current situation, the development of Chinese aircraft carriers will still be “small steps to run”. China’s first domestic aircraft carrier, like the “Liaoning Ship”, is still a conventional power aircraft carrier, taking a sliding and jumping take-off mode. But in terms of hardware equipment and attack and defense capabilities, it is higher than that of “Liaoning ship. However, China’s second domestic aircraft carrier is likely to take off by steam catapult in the take-off mode of carrier-based aircraft, which can train more personnel and master more methods. When building the third domestic aircraft carrier, there should be a big leap, which may be the take-off mode of nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and electromagnetic catapult.
Xu Guangyu said, it can be seen from this that the development of Chinese aircraft carriers is gradual, and every ship has been upgraded, instead of suddenly “overtaking in corners”, because it also involves a series of technical restrictions, from platform construction to personnel training, there needs to be a process.
