Yu Yuan Tan Tian: The "Shangxin" of Fujian Ship will reshape the strategic situation in the Western Pacific.

On September 22nd, the navy revealed that the J-15T, J-35, and KJ-600 carrier-based aircraft have completed their first catapult takeoff and landing training on the first domestically-designed and built aircraft carrier in Fujian. Unlike previous carrier-based aircraft deployments, this time the "platform" is different - the Fujian carrier is the first domestically-designed and built aircraft carrier with catapult capability. The aircraft models are also different - this is the first time the three aircraft models have conducted catapult takeoff and landing training on the Fujian carrier. Military expert Zhang Junshe told Tan Zhu that considering the range of carrier-based aircraft and missiles, the operational radius of the Fujian carrier battle group can be greatly expanded. This distance will allow the Chinese navy to have comprehensive sea-based attack and defense capabilities, with its operational radius covering the second island chain in the Western Pacific. This reshapes the strategic landscape, which is the true significance of the new Fujian carrier.
