[🇨🇳] China Launches the Type 076 LHD 'Sichuan' - Its New Aircraft Carrier!

[Saif]

Ha ha - the last time I saw a claim like that one was with almost an Atlas size ICBM, meaning DF21D. And they claimed anti-ship, not even anti carrier.

That is a lot bigger than the Brahmos. And Aircraft carriers have double and triple layer hulls. So sinking one is a pretty tough call.

Aircraft carriers don't go to mission alone. They have escorts to protect themselves. Frigates, destroyers, and submarines are used as escorts to protect aircraft carriers. Indians are overrating Brahmos. Brahmos is nothing but an Indian version of Russian Yakhont anti ship missile.

Yemeni army has actually used ballistic missiles supplied by Iran to sink and damage many ships in the red sea.

Easy to say yous got the tech......hard to prove that it actually works no?

As a reference. We can see how other countries are trying to work hard on the ocean.

Iran’s Bizarre 'Aircraft Carrier' Seen In New Detail

A converted commercial ship with an angled flight deck, the Shahid Bagheri looks strange but could fill a mission set that Iran has been developing for years. A converted commercial ship with an angled flight deck, the Shahid Bagheri looks strange but could fill a mission set that Iran has been...

Aircraft carrier. You can say it's useless. But you must have it.

They run away 1300 km's from the scene when the drones and anti ship ballistic missiles come flying in. This what happened with the CVN D. Eisenhower 2 days ago.

An F-18 got shot down too in da confusion.

Irans drone carrier and its forward operating base ships are great innovations. Nobody has attempted riding the blue waves like this before in power projection:

Some aircraft carriers can launch fighter jets, drones, AWACS...

Some aircraft carriers can only launch drones.

This is not a difference in thinking. It's just a gap in ability.

You are correct. The source I was looking at had a mistake. USS Gerald R. Ford is a 100,000 ton carrier with nuclear propulsion.

One Russian military expert had said that China will loose 40% of its navy to sink one aircraft carrier of US. This is the power of US aircraft carriers. When they move in battle group like say in 7th fleet, its power is horrifying. This battle group can finish of many small nations and overpower any damn navy.

Sorry, I'm just curious. Can Russia even make aircraft carriers?

If xinping wants Chinese to believe that Russia can make aircraft carrier than yes, otherwise no.
