Yawn 🥱 🥱🥱 Let me know when you get to 20.

But how many helicarriers do you currently have?

One has to ask why, in the age of drones and missiles, but impressive, sure.

Taiwan 🇹🇼 Independence ✊

Carriers, in not too distant a future, will be redundant part of war machines. They are too expensive, need to many pole to operate them (around 5000 sailors on Nimitz class boats) they are sitting ducks for modern hypersonic warheads orbiting in space ready to glide down on wide and long decks of these behemoth ships. It is ok to build a few to show off China’s industrial might, but the future lies in hypersonic glide vehicles, loitering munitions loitering in near space and stealth pilotless aerial platforms and drones. And stealth submarines. World will soon see China taking a leap ahead of every one in the game. @PravinSawhney @DGPR_PAF @MoeedNj @India @china @zhao_dashuai @pakistan

Carriers will be taken out in the first 5 minutes of any conflict. Ever hear about Virginia/Ohio class attack submarines? Nope... and neither will ur carriers, right before they sink into the sea. Probably have about a half-dozen of these swimming around ur shores now and the PLA has no idea where their at.

None of which are nuclear🤣

Good luck actually launching anything heavily loaded off that garbage

The Carrier is THE most complicated war machine the world had ever seen. The most powerful Navy the world have ever seen has been perfecting the art of carrier warfare for almost 90 years. Why, exactly, should we be worried about a few Chinese ships entering the game?

Ski-jump launch platforms? 🙄

5 minutes life expectancy in the supersonic missile era…

Going to make a great reef someday

Why are they building these if they think hypersonics make them obsolete?

Some nations will find themselves in war and at risk of being critically defeated but still they won't see the need for using all their war machines.

Cool. Welcome to the 20th century

Cute.

But chinese and Russian bots are constantly telling me that Aircraft carriers are floating coffins because of hypersonic missiles...guess it's only and argument when used against western carriers 🤣🤣

Targets.

Do Chinese jets require that lip to get them in the air? Must be like the coffee maker I have , that was made in China - not always guaranteed to launch a full cup of coffee...

!

You’re boastful. It’s a sign of inferiority.

nice friendly country.

So it floats and looks pretty, what else?

Weren’t you assholes saying last year that hypersonic missile tech rendered carriers useless?

@grok how many aircraft carrier does china has

把都是導彈的靶子！

How many are planned to build? Aircraft carrier are not made to protect homeland but to project power far away. Why does China need many of them?

the west has way more missile equipped low earth orbiting satellites and nuclear submarines than china. carriers are for show.

Ski jump carriers don't count, it's worse than training wheels on a tricycle. Let's see if you can keep one at sea for over a year without having it towed home.

Fun fact: all of them still use steam turbine with boilers, the same technology that is used by Titanic and ships at her era, 100 years ago

And all will be under the ocean with the fish’s..

these are some nice looking reefs

Sure but these are just easy targets for hypersonic weapons so not sure china should build many more

First two are modified Admiral Kuznetsov class 🥲

Only a 2nd class carrier would have a ramp.
