🔥 The PLA Navy's brand-new carrier Fujian has just wrapped up its first-ever live-force training at sea! After entering service, Fujian and its escorts – destroyers Yan'an and Tongliao – carried out scheduled drills and returned to a naval port in Sanya on Hainan island.
✈️ Carrier-based aircraft like the J-35, J-15T, J-15DT and the KJ-600 early warning plane performed dozens of catapult launches and arrested landings. These exercises pushed Fujian’s electromagnetic catapult and recovery systems to the limit, proving the deck is ready for action!
🤝 Beyond technology tests, this mission confirms seamless teamwork between the carrier and its air wing – a key milestone as the PLA Navy boosts its maritime power. Stay tuned for more on Fujian’s journey across the high seas!
