China completed the construction of the hull for its second aircraft carrier

Edition South China Morning Post reports that the Chinese shipyard completed the construction of the hull of the second aircraft carrier of the PLA Navy. Representatives of the Chinese Ministry of Defense report that the aircraft carrier was designed and built exclusively by Chinese forces - without the involvement of foreign specialists. The material with reference to the PLA command says that in the near future the necessary equipment will be installed on the aircraft carrier.

It should be noted that at the moment, the Chinese Navy is armed with one aircraft carrier. This is the Liaoning included in the composition fleet about 3 years ago. At its core, this is the completed TARK "Riga" (until 2012 - "Varangian"). Launching of this warship built on the Black Sea
shipyard in Nikolaev, was held in 1988 year. He needed additional equipment, but after the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine did not have the means to complete it.

As a result, negotiations began on the sale of an aircraft carrier to China. In 1998, the transaction took place. And Ukraine then sold it at a price of 25 million dollars, which can be considered a real gift to China. It is necessary to add that they sold “Varyag” (“Liaoning”) to China not as a warship, but as a “game floating park - an amusement park”. Now the Chinese navy is "having fun" on it, and the million dollars received by Ukraine 25 quickly went to the pockets of the officials who signed up for this deal.

Details about the new aircraft carrier for the PLA Navy while a little. It is known that it is built on the principle of the Soviet aircraft carrier acquired from Ukraine.

In Beijing, they say that the carrier fleet will allow China to defend its interests in the oceans, primarily in the South China and East China Seas, where there are many disputed territories for which Beijing claims.

It wouldn’t be too cheap for us to sell advanced weapons to the Chinese. The lack of territorial claims against Russia from China is a very controversial issue for me.

The lack of territorial claims against Russia from China is a very controversial issue for me.

At one time, a military expert back in the nineties said roughly that look at the PRC, if it begins to develop ground forces at an accelerated pace, then this is preparation for a war with the Russian Federation, if it begins to build a fleet, especially in the far zone, then a challenge to the Anglo-Saxons. In a word, the ground army is only being modernized, and the PRC has thrown all its forces into the construction of the fleet. And everything is logical, the main population of the PRC in the Yangtze Valley and the Yellow River, as well as on the coast of the East and South China Seas. The transport, processing and other infrastructures are designed for this. The so-called developed resources of Siberia, in the form of wells and other developments, are located in the north of Western Siberia, i.e. Not at all within walking distance, and their infrastructure in the form of pipes, railways and roads have a European direction. And the PRC is critically dependent, primarily on the marine supply of hydrocarbons and food. Also, now a new round of the colonial division of Africa and the PRC simply puts it on this, again we must sail and protect the trade route. Naturally, they again aspire to hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region, and there, unlike the Superpower - the Russian Federation (that is, a country capable of zeroing all of China) there are many resource-rich countries, and with a ready-made marine infrastructure. Anglo-Saxons provide them with security, but unlike the Russian Federation, a direct clash with them can be avoided by gradually squeezing them economically and politically. A typical example of the Philippines, a former unsinkable US aircraft carrier. Well, of course, China refuel in the Persian Gulf, and again the dependence is critical. Therefore, territorial disputes or friendship with the Russian Federation have nothing to do with it, objective reasons are pushing China toward the sea. Plus, crazy people like Mao and Dan's smallbodies left the ruling elite, and pragmatists came. Mao began, and Dan continued, when they sold their people to the West as slaves, made a deal with Nixon and Dan had a card with Chinese Siberia in his office. Now all this has gone and for objective reasons the PRC is our ally, but so to speak, under guarantees, and these are our ballistic missiles.

The Chinese are developing both at the same pace.
Multi-lane highways laid to the borders of Russia (no from the Russian side
their continuation). Jump airfields have been built. Not that tomorrow they will "start"
but they are prepared thoroughly and in advance.

The Americans were preoccupied and tensed to the fullest. Their fleet in the Far East is strengthening.

You can cross the border, and then what? There is only one road, one railway line, THOUSAND kilometers of uninhabited taiga, Altai mountains, etc. And what's next? What's the point? In addition to the Amur, there are no borders; there is a buffer from Kazakhstan, Mongolia and the Altai Mountains impassable for the technology. But the Russian Federation is not Israel, thousands of missiles and warheads, and in the triad, a huge number of tactical systems, etc. Both Mongolia and Kazakhstan are huge deserts, very vast distances. Primorye, in addition to being not a separate principality and protected by the entire army of the Russian Federation, is armed to the teeth, nuclear submarine and surface missile carriers, both the Kyrgyz Republic and ICBMs, a powerful aviation group, etc.

We are building new nuclear Boreas there, we have already sent Nevsky and Monomakh, by the year Alexander III, new nuclear multi-purpose Yaseni are being built for Pacific Fleet, also Varshavyanka with Caliber and RTOs, two UDCs were planning, but apparently they won't be Mistral. The Pacific Fleet itself is second only to our SF in power.

Well, to cut the Transsiberian and BAM 300,000 troops is not necessary.
A couple of dozen subversive groups are enough.

Amur itself with its tributaries, primarily Ussuri, as well as Argun, require forcing, which complicates lightning capture, gives time for a reaction. Shores for technology are lousy, then cliffs, then swamps.

They didn’t sell anything. Ukraine 100500 times tried to sell "Varyag" to Russia at the most reasonable price, but our bore, Moses ... eghkm ... did Yeltsin need it? As a result, Ukraine does not need a ship at all, its maintenance requires money, and there is no one to sell it, because who needs it in the West? And besides the West, who has money?
So they gave it to the Chinese at the price of scrap metal, only cheaper. And do not blame the Ukrainians - that they missed such a ship, the whole merit of the EBN, a low bow to him for this and a hot pan in the next world.

[hrych]

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

Okay, at least they completely missed the RF then

[lelikas]

And looking at the state of "Kuzi" - it becomes clear that two cruisers would not have pulled.

[Alex777]

The United States did not allow the Varyag to tow through the straits for several months. But China somehow agreed ...
And then it still had to be completed. Then they would not be pulled.
Well, at least Peter was completed.

[spravochnik]

Moreover, even before the Belovezhsky conspiracy, the admirals offered to tow the Varyag to St. Petersburg. But EBN put it on.

Of course, I apologize, but you leave it for the bullish bullish buzz. I don’t need that. Like how a pig grunts - your problems.

Now on the topic. Not really for

four thousand years

Well, just what could not change then? And actually, what difference does it make to be colonized: economic or military? You don’t have to be so near. Both of these paths are links in one chain - capture and assimilation.

This is the basis of modern China, and who won whom there, and how many times and what came of it all, is a separate topic! Your only argument that can be considered is Tibet! This is of course a mega conquest! But seriously, in that political situation, with another Indian player, China simply had no other choice!

Kartos - you are right Einstein! This is called the genetic code of the nation! I explain in a popular way, if they beat you all your life, they will beat your son and grandson and great-grandson, and so on, regardless of what cool devices you can’t get! Remember, it’s not the weapon that kills and defeats, but the People! I’ve been to China five times, a very peculiar country, they really consider everyone below themselves, they hate Europeans at all! Only the opa, whose only nation they envy is the Russians (the brothers of the Tatars, Bashkirs, Caucasians, etc. they also consider you Russians), this is alarming, based on our mentality - they are trying to fix theirs! See how popular they are with everything related to Russia, our films, literature, all culture, language. I'm not talking about weapons! They very much want to be Great conquerors and make the whole world cancer, only it will never happen, and they understand this, and therefore they are currently trying to economically confuse the whole World. But even this double-edged sword, to get rid of the creditor, in certain circumstances, it is easier to kill!

As for the "genetic code of the nation" - I confirm! The nation, fencing off the enemies with the GREAT WALL, instead of creating a THREATENING ARMY and crushing these enemies - that says something. There were cities in Ancient Sparta. But they HAVE NO walls! Generally (fences don't count). But attacking Sparta ...

Syria clearly shows that Russia needs aircraft carriers, including aircraft carriers. It is time for us to do something in this regard.

[donavi49]

For the first time, an aircraft carrier was photographed only 1 a year ago ...

This is Type001A - from an explicit, change of superstructure for Chinese equipment (radar / communications). They also say that the hangar was increased by 20%, due to the redevelopment of the interior.

[donavi49]

And here is the first shot of Type 001A - October 25 2015 of the year.

Naturally, the hangar will increase; he will not have 12 anti-ship missiles Granite under the deck, as envisaged by the Soviet project, due to this place, the hangar for aircraft has become larger.
Liaolin former Varangian.

It is interesting that it goes completely without smoke.

[donavi49]

Well, there are initially improved boilers - as in the Chinese 956EM. Plus they are new and again not beaten by life.

Smoking for age-old boilers is the norm. Here is Foch / Sao Paulo for example.

This is how they look on the deck, but we must remember that they are not vertical but inclined and occupy a larger volume under the deck ..

So for information on the approximate size of all this under deck economy PU ZRK-300F.

Quote: donavi49

20% increased hangar

Most likely, PU and equipment were removed, which were designed for Granites under the project. Perhaps also involved the area used for air defense and anti-aircraft defense. But then all this will have to be provided at the expense of escort vessels, i.e. create aug. The eternal dispute of the doctrine of application.

[spravochnik]

Almost all anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft weapons are located on sponsons (they are also present on the Liaoning) and its removal will not affect the size of the hangar in any way.

[Holoy]

Duc is a copy of the Varangian ... Ha

[donavi49]

They have adopted the 6 aircraft carrier program until the 30 year.

1 - Liaolin / Varangian
2 - Type001А
Both will carry J-15 / B (the latter with AFAR) as the main type + helicopters.

The 24 type will be introduced to the 002 type (the GEM is classic - taking into account catapults, most likely boilers) - it is already a western-type catapult aircraft carrier, it is assumed that it will receive a sea 5-ku + aircraft DRL / refueling.

By 30, the 2 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the new project will be introduced.

Well done Chinese, riveting corvettes, frigates, destroyers, UDC, aircraft carriers! And we all argue - do we need - a regional land power with a second army in the world, aircraft carriers or not, and why is the YaSU destroyer?

[donavi49]

They are already docking the 055 project cruiser (the basis is the new radars, under which they built a whole ground stand in the form of a cruiser and 2x64 VPU, more than Burke). The first in the world after the Ticonderoga CG-73 Port Royal. Although now it is a matter of classification - for the destroyers have now mutated and occupied a niche from a frigate to an aircraft carrier.

[Engineer]

well, they still list it as a destroyer, as well as our hypothetical project "Leader" - in fact a cruiser, since it is more than 10 tons, but for some reason it goes like a destroyer.

Quote: donavi49

They are here and the cruiser of project 055 is already docking

Yes, they already write about him:
Soon, China is preparing to launch the latest missile destroyer.
The ship is known under the designation Type 055 and, according to some reports, the displacement of the destroyer will be from 12 to 14 thousand tons. The ship will be equipped with the most modern weapons to destroy an air, surface and underwater enemy, the latest electronic warfare systems to counter enemy aircraft and missiles.

They do it very well. Why reinvent the wheel if it has already been invented and rides great. You just need to make it well and cheaply. And let the doo.raki boast of their non-existent "advanced technologies", what they still have, if they can't do anything else ...

[Orionvit]

Yes, I'm not talking about that. It is clear that it is more profitable and cheaper to use ready-made developments. China is constantly being set as an example for all of us, as an unrivaled economically and technologically advanced power. If no one will argue about the economy, then in terms of technological development, questions arise. The Chinese are simply not able to invent something fundamentally new, breakthrough. All their technologies are borrowed or stupidly copied in the west, from Japan, or the USSR (Russia). Just do not now remember stories about paper and gunpowder. This applies to both electronics and space, and weapons, and everything else. For example, their aircraft engine, from scratch, as they say, they still have not done so. True about plowing 15 hours a day, then yes, they have no equal.
