The "Royal photographer" who is "loyal to his duty" has stuck to his "job" in photographing the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning ship for half a month. Please forgive the old driver for using so many quotation marks in one sentence. I really don't like the self defense force's momentum of monitoring the activities of Chinese aircraft carriers Japan's Kyodo news agency said on the 18th that Sakai Liang, the head of Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force and chief of staff at sea, said at a press conference that "Liaoning ships continue to take off and land shipborne fighters in the Pacific Ocean south of Okinawa." the maritime self defense force is very concerned about the training of Chinese aircraft carriers. At present, information is being collected and relevant departments have been analyzing it. " According to Japanese statistics, after entering the Pacific Ocean through the Miyako Strait on May 2, Liaoning ships took off and landed shipborne fighters and helicopters in the South China Sea off Okinawa for 10 consecutive days from May 3 to 12, with a total of more than 200 sorties. After suspending the takeoff and landing training on the 13th, the takeoff and landing training of Shipborne fighters and helicopters was resumed on the 14th and 15th. Hong Kong's South China Morning Post said on the 17th that "analysts said that the Liaoning ship has been at sea for nearly 20 days and is close to the limit of the aircraft carrier designed by the Soviet Union". Whether this sentence is true or false, it can at least show that the outside world believes that the Liaoning ship has been regarded as "giving full play to its combat effectiveness" in the hands of the people's Liberation Army. J-15 fighter took off from Liaoning ship Sakai also expressed similar views. He stressed at the press conference that the operational capability of Liaoning warship "is still under development, but it is not difficult to imagine that its upgrading speed will be faster than expected by Haizi and the Ministry of defense. We will make an objective assessment and take countermeasures in the future." Taiwan military experts said that although "it is not clear whether the J-15 carrier aircraft has conducted night flight exercises" (Note: according to Japanese statistics, Liaoning ship takeoff and landing fighters often last after 9 p.m.), compared with the previous open exercises, "Liaoning ship this training intensity is greater". The South China Morning Post believes that the Liaoning ship's visit is to lay the foundation for the future aircraft carrier battle group The expert said, "the ongoing large-scale training operation aims to test and formulate training guidelines and regulations for aircraft carrier flight deck operations, high-sea logistics support and other details, which will be ready for the third aircraft carrier of the people's Liberation Army." Colin, a researcher at the Rajaratnam Institute of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, said that the ongoing exercise shows the progress made by Liaoning ship in developing complex aircraft carrier strike group tactics. "Liaoning warship is further using these experiences to promote the development of aircraft carrier strike group combat concept and promote the progress of crew (especially J-15 crew) in this regard." He also added that choosing to conduct exercises in areas far away from the Chinese Mainland would promote the PLA's ability to build an independent aircraft carrier strike group in case of conflict. We should also objectively admit that there is a huge gap between China and the United States in aircraft carrier strike groups. Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force announced on the 18th that from the 8th to the 16th, the Maritime Self Defense Force and the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier "Reagan" carried out joint training in the Pacific South of Kanto. The drill content protected the aircraft carrier from various tactics such as fighter and missile attacks. The US Navy cruiser "antieton", the self defense force frigate "zhaoyue" and the P-3C patrol aircraft also participated in the training. In terms of the dispatch frequency of carrier based aircraft, the dispatch efficiency of American super aircraft carrier is quite amazing. The "Nimitz" class aircraft carrier can take off and land about 160 sorties a day, and the single day dispatch efficiency of the new generation of "Ford" class aircraft carrier is as high as more than 180 sorties. Of course, such extreme cases are very rare. In most cases, the daily take-off and landing sorties of American super aircraft carriers are only dozens. However, many foreign media have admitted that the third aircraft carrier being built by the Chinese navy is equipped with efficient electromagnetic ejection devices, which will greatly improve the dispatch efficiency of Chinese aircraft carriers, and is even expected to be close to the level of American super aircraft carriers. The focus of Liaoning's aircraft carrier training is not the number of qualified aircraft carriers, but the number of aircraft carrier training in the future. After all, the PLA's tradition is that "it is better to equip talents than to equip talents". (outlook new era)
