Beijing, September 25 (Xinhua) — The Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian, which is successfully conducting trials and training as planned, will be commissioned in the near future, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang announced on Thursday.
He made the statement while answering a journalist's question at a regular press conference.
Zhang Xiaogang noted that the J-15T, J-35 and KongJing-600 carrier-based aircraft successfully completed catapult takeoff and landing training on an aircraft carrier.
According to the official representative, the success of the training demonstrates the full functionality of the electromagnetic catapult takeoff and landing system on the aircraft carrier, which lays the foundation for the integration of various types of carrier-based aircraft within the aircraft carrier group and marks an important milestone in the development of Chinese aircraft carriers.
China's third aircraft carrier, Fujian, hull number 18, was launched in June 2022 and named after Fujian Province. Unlike the ski-jump decks of China's first two carriers, Liaoning and Shandong, Fujian has a flat flight deck. Its full displacement exceeds 80,000 tons.
