Yuan Huazhi, a political member of the People's Liberation Army Navy, was recently asked about whether the fourth aircraft carrier would use nuclear power and technical obstacles, etc., and clearly responded to "no technical obstacles" and "there will be news soon."It is generally interpreted by the outside world as "China's fourth aircraft carrier has started."When the outside world is highly concerned about the situation of China's fourth aircraft carrier under construction, the United States and Indian media have recently believed that China has the ability to have up to six aircraft carriers in 2035.Some analysts believe that this may cause new changes in the situation such as the South China Sea.

Recently, a well -known US defense media released in 1945 that China will have six aircraft carriers at the latest in 2035, including four conventional power carriers and two nuclear -powered aircraft carriers.US military experts Peter Suqiu's comments are more optimistic and believe that China will have six aircraft carriers in the next seven years.

From the perspective of the external response, China's capabilities have been highly affirmed.

The Indian Eurasian Times recently compared the current situation of aircraft carriers in China and India, and the conclusion was "frustrated in the gap". It also believed that the Chinese Navy is expected to obtain up to six aircraft carriers in 2035.

Revised information, India started to start earlier in the aircraft carrier. In 1957, the British Navy's Hercules Circuit was obtained.By 1961, it had completed the renovation and was renamed Viklan Specials.

In contrast, China has been the only big country in the world for a long time.After 1985, China began to purchase various retired aircraft carriers and conducted research and learning before making some progress.

Looking back at history, the real start of the Chinese aircraft carrier industry is to start with the Warkeg.The Warkeg was a conventional power carrier built by the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Only two -thirds were completed, and the Soviet Union disintegrated.After seven years of modification and commissioning, in September 2012, the Warkeg was officially named Liaoning Ship.

China's second aircraft carrier is the 70,000 -ton Shandong ship.The Shandong Ship began construction in November 2013 and was launched on April 26, 2017. It was the first domestic aircraft carrier.Compared with the Liaoning ship, the Shandong ship has expanded the internal hangar and optimized the flight deck design, so it can be equipped with up to eight fighters and helicopters at most.

It is worth noting that the Liaoning ship was positioned as a "scientific research training" ship by China, and the Shandong ship was the first real combatant carrier in China.

The third aircraft carrier is a Fujian ship with a displacement of more than 80,000 tons. It is a complete independent design and the first electromagnetic ejection aircraft carrier.According to reports, the Fujian ship is tested in Jiangnan Shipyard and is expected to go to sea in the near future.

The Fujian ship is equipped with the most advanced electromagnetic ejection and blocking device internationally. The number of carrier -based aircraft has also increased significantly. It can be equipped with more than 40 fighters. It is the most advanced aircraft carrier in China so far.

The fourth aircraft carrier currently concerned about the outside world is rumored to be larger than the tonnage of Fujian ship, and nuclear power devices are used.

There are now 11 U.S. military aircraft carriers. The outside world pays attention to whether the combat effectiveness of Chinese aircraft carriers can fight with US aircraft carriers.However, according to the senior management of the Chinese military, Chinese aircraft carriers are not to compare with the United States, nor to play with the United States, but to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country.

Some military experts believe that the upper limit of the construction of Chinese aircraft carriers is likely to be six, and maintaining this scale is sufficient to safeguard national security interests.At that time, China will have a modern aircraft carrier fleet, which will deploy the carrier fleet in the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the Yellow Sea, respectively to deter the enemy who dares to come.Some analysts believe that this will provide strong military power support for the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea issue.
