I DUG into the new CHINESE 003 CARRIER Fujian and this is what I found.

With the new Fujian carrier, ex 003, being launched, we think that you may like a summary of all the videos we have dedicated to it and to the Chinese naval aviation.
Enjoy!

@@miguellines5907 Paper specifics are not everything. The Burke class is a multi-role surface combatant, with an emphasis on missile defense. Their main role is to protect the carrier with area missile defense (aided by the powerful Aegis system). Most US offensive anti-ship power is actually in their attack sub fleet (Los Angeles, Seawolf, and Virginia class SSNs). The Chinese have invested heavily into surface combatants, but their sub fleet is pretty lackluster. Their SSNs are largely considered to be the loudest subs, in contrast to the US having the quietest subs.

You want to take on Russia? China? Hahahaha really? The USA? Who can't beat farmer Taliban? I mean seriously, what do we know? We know Russia is supremely confident they do have the ability to bring down all USA ICBM's, while we all know the USA has no defence against even the older Soviet ICBM's, let alone the modern lethal ones like Sarmat, carrying up to 24 MERVS, over speeds of Mach 20.7; 4.3 miles per second; 15,480 miles per hour. And because we saw the USA pull out of the nuclear arms treaty, (that prohibited the creation of any short-mid range nuclear weapons)?, today, now sees even the old defensive threat of "MAD", as an obsolete defensive threat today. As Russia has already created those missiles, and done so creating, hypersonic mid-range missiles, able to carry Nuclear tipped warheads, or full nuclear warheads, travelling at speeds not seen before, being able to strike and hit all US defensive stations and platforms, along with all US nuclear silos, and destroy them all within minutes, long before the US could even begin to think about any sort of retaliatory launch. Today Russia has the S-500 anti-ballistic missile defence systems, able to operate alongside Russia's new A-235 anti-ballistic missile system, with the ability to shoot down hypersonic attack weapons, hypersonic orbital platforms, ballistic missiles, and their combat units, as well as satellites in near space. ICBM's of the USA can be tracked and shot down quite easily by Russia today. Any Nuclear effort from the USA today?, would see them lose, and lose big time. Any conventional War against Russia? They quite simply lose, that's not even up for debate, they could try to land 250,000 troops, and they'd all simply be chewed up and spat out, so where the American see Russia losing? Only God knows, as everything says otherwise. The USA has never met a fully militarily capable country! Russia is the biggest test of them all. You know, Russia is about 960 times bigger than Kuwait?. When the USA invaded Kuwait against Iraq, the USA deployed 750,000 troops. How many troops do you think they'd need to attack and invade Russia? LOLOLOLOL

[@hotstepper887]

We read so many Americans making wild outlandish claims about China today, yet they deny everything we do see from their own government, for example, do we see China invading countries all over the world, murdering many of them, while illegally building military bases in those countries, they only use to steal, and to syphon off their oil resources Or, do we see China supporting the criminals in Ukraine, or supplying them with weapons they use to target and murder civilians? Do we see China trawling the world, invading all over the place, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and Syria, to name just a few, and all while using lies, propaganda, and bought and paid for, terrorism? Do we see China making threats against anyone else, or any other country? You see, to me, and to most people of this world, everything we see the Americans all claim about China?, is actually, exactly what their own country really does, and really is. China built an enormous wall all around their country, to keep the invaders out! Not to keep the people in! LOL. If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, eventually the people will come to believe it ~ Joseph Goebbels, 1941.

This is an amazing video. So many thoughts on your assessment. Your videos are informative

[@obsidianstatue]

1) Integrated Electric Propulsion system or IEPS, does not always mean the steam or gas turbine are not connected to the propeller shaft. The Ford Class has its steam turbines connected to the propellers for example. The 003 Fujian, LIKELY has the steam turbine connected to the propellers as well, due to some analysts being skeptical of electric motors being powerful enough to propel a 80,000+ ton carrier to 30 knots. The key to generate enough electricity for the EMALS is not necessarily determined by what is connected to the propellers it's having an Integrated and Intelligent system that can distribute the generated electricity to subsystems. 003 Fujian is speculated to use supercapacitors to store electricity generated by the steam turbine, to be released almost instantly to the catapults, Ford Class uses the flywheel. 2) J-35 being the stealthy carrier based fighter is a certainty, because it has been seen flying in the PLA test units with J-16 from the air force. J-35 represents a important milestone, it's the first advanced fighter for China to have the adequate Chinese engine equipped right from the start. since the J-35 it uses WS-13E or WS-19 mid thrust engines, it's also somewhat easier to developed compared to the WS-15 high trust engine for the J-20 3) The J-15B catapult version, will be expected to have massive upgrades, from AESA radars, new avionics, new Chinese engines, likely a variant of the WS-10, as well as large amount of composite material to reduce the weight. Coupled with the catapult launch system, the J-15 as large fighter will be a formidable challenger for any 4th gen fighter of any country. In a way, the J-15B is continuing the legacy of the F-14.

[@robertsneddon731]

The 65,000 tonne QE-class carriers are pure electric propulsion and the Russian Leader-class nuclear icebreakers of a similar size are also purely electric propulsion. Icebreakers require large amounts of shaft "horsepower" to break thick ice even if they don't propel the ships at carrier speeds and the Leaders are expected to provide 120MW (160,000 hp) from its four motors. That sort of propulsive power would easily drive a modern 100,000 tonne carrier hull design at 30 knots plus. Saying that, the first of the smaller new Russian 35,000 tonne Arktika-class nuclear icebreakers burned out one of its three motors on trials. It still managed a winter icebreaking campaign that year while a new motor was being manufactured for it.

[@lolasdm6959]

J-15 will be a missile truck.

[@jwickerszh]

I remember this promotional video that also suggested they used electric motors. Worth a watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX7CmYSCirRqqKs

I think that the various naval fighter projects are primarily being developed concurrently for risk mitigation. It increases the number of options to choose from. If one project struggles, others can make up for it. The CCP would want to avoid losing face by lacking aircraft for their carrier projects.

[@douginorlando6260]

By then, J-15B will no doubt carry upgraded PL-15 missiles and super long range missiles dependent on networked sensors. Also I expect a tightly integrated sensor network by the task force, including satellites, land sensors, buoy sensors, “fishing boat”sensors to allow detecting, tracking, targeting everything within 1000+ km.

Chinese aircraft carrier - Fujian's EMALS (electromagnetic aircraft launch system) is 1 generation ahead of the EMALS system onboard USS Gerald Ford: The Chinese design team learned that the U.S. USS Gerald Ford was struggling with their Emal system 5 years ago and realized that their MVAC was what gave them problems. They then quickly switched to developing their own HV/MVDC integrated electronics system. It turned out later that they made the right choice. This is a HUGE benefit and made all the difference: MVDC is a lot more stable, reliable, and versatile. Also, there's something else you don't know: The initial plan for Fujian was not Emals but a steam aircraft launch system. However, as MVDC integrated electronics system and later EMALS was developed, the Chinese engineers adjusted their plans. Long story short, they eventually completed both systems and had them running side by side to compare their efficacy, and EMALS came out on top. As a result, the original blueprint had to be readjusted to have structural changes to accommodate the new EMALS system while the steam catapult system was put into storage. The chief engineer received The August 1 Medal also known as the Order of Bayi directly from Xi Jinping on June 6, 2019, for his achievements. Only ten recipients so far in China's entire history.

You want to take on Russia? Hahahaha really? You mean with the big bad USA?, that country that only talks like they have a military record like Great Britain, only that's so wrong, it's just hilarious seeing it, oh deary me. LOL. The truth is, the United States has one of the very worst, and most cowardly military records of any country on earth. Yet read what you all think, man?, It's most bizarre! The United States was founded in 1776, (even that's a lie, LOL). She's been at war for 226 out of her 246 calendar years of existence. In other words, there were only 20 calendar years, in which the U.S. did not wage any wars. The Wars waged were never against any militarily capable countries, but only countries considered the Third World. Any resistance from those countries, always saw the USA lose! Pick any year since 1776, and there's about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year, and 73% chance they lost it. No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.” The U.S. has never gone a decade without war. The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1937-42) was during the isolationist period (cowardly period) of the Great Depression. Since the 2nd World War, the USA has started 201 armed conflicts, with around 40-50 million (mostly civilian casualties). And usually based on false premises/lies. (And failed in most). This is more than 2 conflicts started based on nothing more than lies and propaganda per year. LOL, AWESOME! Oh, no! Wait!! What am I saying? Silly me! We all know the USA is the most powerful military country in the whole wide world today! Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Reminder... Beaten and loses in Vietnam. After using chemical weapons, Napalm, and Agent Orange, burning down entire towns and villages, killing hundreds of thousands of women and children, while losing the war against a bunch of tunnel kids, they tried to burn alive! Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. When a million Chinese ran over the hill in Korea?, they fled and got chased back behind the 38th parallel, then gets out of the War, with a ''face-saving'' armistice. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Thought they'd force China to purchase their opium in the 2nd opium war, yet is the only one defeated by China, as both the British and French had won convincing victories, while the USA, humiliated, and well defeated, had to limp home, all alone. LOL, Such a powerful force they all claim. Hilarious. Fought for a mere 28 months in WW2, and hilariously, for years, claimed it was because of the USA we won the War LOL. When we all know the facts say the exact opposite. It's not even up for debate. If Britain had not fought WW2?, the USA would no longer exist. Yet unbelievably they still try to say the same today?, with their propaganda history, they've all been spoon-fed from birth, as if a real part of their history. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Claimed they forced the USSR to remove its Cuban missiles, or they had threatened War? While the truth is, that it was the USA that was forced to remove their missiles and close down their military base in Turkey, before the USSR would agree to remove their Cuban missiles. The complete opposite of what they all got taught. LOL. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Claimed Japan surrendered after the second nuclear bomb?, when we now know today, that was, guess what? You got it, just another American lie. Japan had ignored the first Nuclear attack, they also ignored the second Nuclear attack and Japan only surrendered after Stalin had kept his promise to Invade East Asia, and the Soviets crushed the Japanese. That alone removed any hope the Japs had of getting Stalin to act as a mediator for a conditional surrender, and it was only then the Japanese surrendered (as we now can read from the people of the time). The timing of the surrender proves It, It was indeed just another American lie, and is still to this day, by far, the most cowardly act ever committed by anyone on earth. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Thought they bossed Syria, with their bought and paid for terrorism, only to then have to sit back and watch Russia kick their terrorist's to pieces over and over again, while the USA were helpless to even resist it, and so instead they resorted to, once again, more lies, more criminal attacks on a legitimate leadership of a sovereign country. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Thought they'd show Russia, (as they supplied Georgia with their military assistance). LMAO, more like hindrance! Then had to watch Russia annihilate and destroy all the military equipment they'd just given away, every piece, exactly like we see them doing in Ukraine today! PMSL. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. They've destroyed and ruined the lives of an entire country (again), Ukraine this time, with once again, more of their? Yep, you've guessed it, more lies, more supplying weapons to criminals, terrorists and Nazis, and are only working against all the interests of the Ukrainian people, and still are, while pathetically trying to blame it on Russia, such a powerful force they all claim. Hilarious. They claimed they'd kick the Taliban's ass (inside 3 months). The USA = A trillion dollars worth of military hardware. The Taliban = A dollars worth of military hardware. 20 years (after), the USA were going to kick their asses inside three months, the Taliban hold more ground today than they ever have, and the Yankee boys, as always, got sent home! LMAO!! Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. The USA struggles against the Taliban and many other non-militarily capable countries!, they've never met a fully militarily capable country. And you want to take on Russia? LOL... Go on then!!.... Personally, I give the USA precisely zero chance against Russia, or China, or Iran, or even N. Korea, let alone both Russia and China as allies? LOL, who are these yanks fooling apart from themselves? Your military is only as good as your MEN! LOL @ the Yanks!

7:00 - small comment with regards to the type of catapults being used - even though the steam catapult system is considered "older" & "less capable" compared to EMALS, since the PLAN has no experience with either system, & that a steam catapult requires very complex moving parts (not to mention a steam generator), installing a steam catapult on 003 probably would have been no less risky & operationally complicated for the PLAN than installing EMALS. Given that both options are comparably risky & complicated for the PLAN, it makes sense to go with the more advanced (& in some ways simpler) of the two options.

No it isn't, the Chinese have never managed to build a decent turbofan engine, it requires exacting quality control to create components that can handle the environment of a high performance engine. Even Chinese media calls the J-15 "the flopping fish"

[@SerbanOprescu]

Indeed, the Chinese stated more than once that their electronics are superior to the Russian ones. This was in relation to their fighter jet electronics, but also to their anti-missile defense system (a sort of Chinese S-400 system). This was claimed more loudly when Turkey issued a requirement for an advanced missile system to equip their Army. The claims, however, were never proven right by any measurable deployment, so it remains to be seen. The Turkey bid was eventually won by the Russians, and one single report, hidden in a sea of publications, stated afterwards that the Chinese system was in fact inefficient, despite its advanced electronics, which may possibly be attributed to the somewhat lesser experience with missiles in combat (compared for instance with the Russians, who had the entire set of Middle East wars to refine their results). As for the aircraft electronics, the silent implication was that they had derived a lot of experience from their intel "liberated" from the USA, which is quite a credible hypothesis, to which they added their own research. However, just as you said, "experts believe it" - it has yet to be proven in any measurable way. However, none of the claims were related to the engines, for instance, or the aerodynamic solutions, or anything other than the above.

The great differentiator of the Type 003 Fujian is in advantages are: - It is not nuclear, therefore it can carry out maintenance in any common shipyard and the absence of atomic reactors, that is, it does not pollute the environment; - The Type 003 Fujian can be sold to any friendly country, ppos does not have nuclear technologies... "Brazil interested"! hahahaha - The Fujian has three electromagnetic catapults for launching aircraft. The Type 003 catapults are of the EMALS type (Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System), similar to the four found on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and their catapult system instead of fixed cleats is used a system that helps the fighters to take off by means of magnetic energy much stronger and faster, that is, launch them more efficiently; - About 317 meters long, with more than 80 thousand tons of displacement and being "only 16 m smaller" than a North American aircraft carrier, the Type 003 Fujian can house different types of planes and helicopters, with an estimated capacity of 70 units. . The Brazilian Navy has already shown interest in this type of Chinese vessel with non-nuclear electromagnetic catapults, so they can be acquired. Embraer is in a project for a new fighter in partnership with the FAB to replace the "modernized" A4 SkyWalk fighters of the Brazilian Navy, with technologies acquired from Saab's Gripens E/F and with a 100% national engine. Since the US doesn't even sell its decommissioned aircraft carriers... hahahaha And the coolest thing of all is that the Chinese came to "learn how to use a catobar aircraft carrier here in Brazil", along with the Brazilian Navy when we had the São Paulo aircraft carrier that was decommissioned today!

[@kast6446]

Although it's been a year since this video was uploaded. I still want to give some supplements on the history of J15 development. J15 indeed is a copy of Su-33, but there exists a story. Initially, the PLA Navy tried to buy Su-33 directly from Russia. Due to the crisis of Taiwan in 1996 and the incoming first carrier, the leadership of the Navy hoped the Russians could quickly provide a certain number of Su-33 and support of training. However, unfortunately, Su-33 is a jet that was designed in the era of Soviet Union in 90s. Sadly, soon, the Soviet Union was gone, and the development of Su-33 was stopped in the experiment verification face, and Russia only has around 30 (maybe less) Su-33. The Navy realized that Russia lost the ability to produce Su-33 quickly. Instead, the experts from the Navy went to Ukraine and got the prototype of the Su-33, which is named T-10K. So the Engineers take the T10K as a reference and build out the J15. Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, Su-33 was not able to finish the experiment verification because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, so the engineers and pilots needed to spend time and even life (there was a pilot died in the experiment) to finish this step. The year when Liaoning was announced to serve in the PLA Navy, I was a 15-year-old boy. During that time, there were lots of analyses published in both newspapers and magazines in China discuss when the Navy have its first carrier jet. Many expected that it would happen after 2 or maybe 3 years. But after half of the year, the CCTV have a live stream on the J15 take off from the Liaoning and landing back to the carrier. Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that was true. Sadly, just a day after the J15 successfully finished its touch-and-go in front of every Chinese people who sit in front of the TV, the Chief designer of Liaoning Carrier, Luo, Yang, passed away.

28:50 Q: Are these J15 weight limits based on the aircraft only usng the foreedeck of the carrier? Would it significantly improve the takeoff speed and weight if the aircraft are launched from further back on the deck, so why don't they do this?

[@zitang5536]

The major reason is that the aircraft flight deck is already designed to divide into different areas and each area has different functions in the same time in combat. If a plane is taking off inside a wrong area during war, it will cause a chain disaster for the rest whole deck and planes. Secondly is Chinese navy is still learning and using old soviet navy aircraft carrier operation procedure which isn't flexible enough for your ideas.

[@zitang5536]

For example, in a perfect world, a plane is taking off inside a landing zone. While a plane will shortly land in this area after the first plane took off. But what if the taking off delayed or aborted for some reason? The landing plane must reclimb and wait at the last landing sequence because there are squads of planes on the landing route to land for refueling, rearming. What if the landing plane doesn't have enough fuel for the second attempt to go around? Everything is in trouble and lots of risk is caused because of a small delay.

[@R.-.]

If they converted to a layout with longer runways the planes would take off with more fuel giving them more time in the air before they need to land. Then you can plan longer periods between switching takeooff and landing operations. If you operate carriers in pairs, then the switchover can be synchronised so one is landing while the other is taking off. In an emergency, a plane can land on the other carrier.

Regarding any J-35 being a stolen copy of the F-35, I'll believe that only when I see how the J-35 flies and what's in it.

Photos of F-35 from every conceivable angle and in every mode of flight exist everywhere. A beginning graphics arts student could use those to create a wireframe of an F-35 using any number of publicly available PC apps in no time. But, the F-35 is supposed to be today's foremost stealth and C&C platform. If the J-35 was coated with any late version RAM, its flight characteristics were anything close to the F-35, jet engine technology was anything close to the American engine, EW capabilities and virtual cockpit anything close... Those are the kinds of things what would undeniably indicate espionage. Unless the J-35 could be shown to fly anything close to how an F-35 flies, it's just a cheap, inferior copy without anything that distinguishes what the F-35 can do.

Great video. I personally do not believe Beijing has an objective (even long term) of reaching the point of 2x carrier groups and "militarily defeating the US Pacific carrier fleet in blue water". Doing so gains Beijing nothing. Rather, the more sensible objective is to ensure open trade route throughout that entire SE Asia area, including Malacca straight. To do so, Beijing does not need an "overwhelming" force that could defeat the US carrier groups placed in the same area. Rather, Beijing simply needs an equitable amount of force, to serve as deterrent, to thwart any US efforts of shutting down the Malacca straight against Chinese commercial/merchant traffic. China is still early in its learning journey dealing with carriers. The US had started its journey since before WW2. China is now playing catch-up. How most western mass media portrays China's carrier 003 as some evil attempt at projecting military forces throughout the world, is extremely irresponsible reporting. (If judging by that same standard, then US had already done so before WW2 broke out - just look at how many US bases had already projected into the South-western Pacific, through presence in areas such as Guam, Philippines, Australia, etc.) In the recent decades, US on the international stage had behaved much like a bully.

Just 1 part i strongly disagree with this KZbin host: There's no way 10 U.S. carriers will ever battle directly against 10 PLANavy carriers(and vice versa) in any open ocean area as depicted hypothetically on his N.Pacific map near Japan shown at the beginning of this video. Typically during peacetime, at least 50% of the U.S. supercarrier fleet(excluding LHAs such as America) is docked at base for replenishment/crew rotation, regular maintenance or multi-year overhaul(i.e. RCOH) at any given day of a year. Logically, the same will also apply to the PLANavy carrier fleet. In fact, the average total sailing days at sea per year per ship across the 2 in-service PLANavy carriers is no more than 30~45days(much much lower than their U.S. counterparts). Realistically and even in an absolute emergency wartime situation, there'll be no more than 5-6 carriers per side available to do such concentrated sea battle in a 'blue water' environment.

ASEAN is pretty much friendly to China and suspicious of US after the Afghan failure. while Singapore continue to cooperate with US, this is mainly because China currently maintain a non-interventionist policy mean China would not protect Singapore. however Singapore as with other ASEAN member would likely switch side rapidly if China ever changes it policy and extend protection to the region. the threat China faces is further out, the US can very much put a carrier in the Indian ocean and cut China off. so China need carrier to counter such aggression.

Ahh. Russians trying to split nato. Lol

[@wolfgangjr74]

Except that Singapore isn't threatened by the USA. LOL. And its the Chinese stealing their fish stocks to say the least. China the real bully as always.

[@abdhaiamrialias9794]

Indian ocean also seems to be ok for China as they make very good relationship with Pakistan and recently try to cooperate with Afghanistan

[@assertivekarma1909]

The animosity that many South East Asian countries have with China, and associated cooperation with the US, also has to do with obnoxious Chinese behavior & Chinese ambitions that are inherently in opposition to other regional nations. The US has been a good ally to those that have reasonable intentions.

@@assertivekarma1909 lol South Korea and Japan largely made themselves, you aren't get no marshall plan if you look in the mirror. Be honest.

It is floating, but still far from fully operational. Comparable to a Ford carrier in many ways, but more than 1/5th smaller. They can make all the clams they want, but they are still a whitewater Navy with severely limited range.
