Russia said that the F-10 aircraft carriers will become China at 9:20 on March 1, 2007 Source : Sing Tao global network printer fonts comment : check collection Russian official recently commented in a research report, Chinese military are actively developing self aircraft carrier was set at between 46,000 - 10,000 tons. This report also says that the type of carrier-based aircraft carrier may choose to have the F-10 carrier-developed by China independently. This selection of China's financial year 2006 figures from Russia's Sukhoi external development activities, the report said. - might be called the "Beijing-class" aircraft carrier may carry 30-42 carrier planes. But analysis of the report, if adopted Chinese Su-33 carrier-based aircraft carrier. China's construction of a full-load displacement of at least 50,000 -6.1 10,000-ton aircraft carrier, in order to meet the carrying amount. However, the "Beijing" class aircraft carrier in accordance with the current data analysis, the largest not more than 48,000 tonnes. Analysis of the report, is most likely to serve as a carrier-based aircraft is a Chinese-developed carrier-based F-10 fighters. The report says that development of China's F-10 fighter planes to light. Edge used a canard wing of the triangular layout. And the structure of the aircraft landings at the beginning of the design used in the future to consider the use of carrier-based aircraft. So the aircraft carrier landings structural design of the very complex machine use. Meanwhile, F-10 and Su-33 wingspan of only 70%. Folding wings could carry on without access to the carrier. Moreover, the F-10 equipped with power ZUH-31 Doppler phased array radar, Fourth-generation stealth fighter goals can be identified. Russia and China earlier this proposed "improvements Su-33 airborne radar" will coincide. Continue to analyze the report, the F-10 can be a one-time loading four medium-range missiles, two combat missile. Maximum combat radius of over 1,300 km range. Chinese Navy, the Air Force, the equipment for the FB-7 "Feibao" frontline fighters / bomber escort support for the entire process. Although the Russian-made Su-33 and these functions can be realized, however, If the restrictions prerequisite for a full-load displacement of the carrier, Su-33 shipborne the number will be greatly restricted. Therefore, the aircraft carrier in the same conditions, the volume can be Su-33 carrier-based F-10 doubled. Analysis, design of the F-10 fighters because of their condition before the decision, it can be transformed into a carrier-based Navy combat aircraft. At present, the situation in Western Europe and the positive development of military equipment. China manufactured FJ17 fighters to Pakistan, the United States almost 16 applications. The overall characteristics of a variety of F-18s. And the F-10 fighters in China, as well as technology developed by the West. This is a way of seeking weapons of diversification. At present, the Chinese air force F-10 equipment in the amount of 50 to 100 planes. Two of the Chinese-made engine installation. China and Russia AN31F engines are mainly used in the introduction of this type of aircraft. With WS10 engine developed. China in the next two to three years it will take to fully repair this engine. As a result, the F-10 fighter plane was a combat radius of more remote. (Editor : Peng Fei).

Well, they can build all the carriers they want, but without any longstanding tradition of carrier/battlegroup operations, my guess is that their new CV(s) will be eventually become coral fodder.

China could build its first aircraft carrier by 2010 if current research and development proceeds smoothly, a Hong Kong newspaper quoted a Chinese general as saying on Wednesday.

Current research and development proceeding smoothly means that their private polling showing Hillary Clinton winning the 2008 election is accurate.

Unless they have something much further along and hidden somewhere else, I cannot see how it could be anything but the Varyag. I believe she will be launched in 2008 or 2009 and be plowing waves in the China Sea in 2010.

TRANSFORMING THE VARYAG INTO AN OPERATIONAL PLAN CARRIER

They will then, IMHO, over the next several years use the Varyag to train and establish doctrine while they start building 2 or 3 of their own indigenous carriers over the nextr 10-12 years thereafter.
