Chinese state media reported that the third Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian could be officially commissioned by the end of 2025. A military analyst who spoke on the national television channel CCTV noted that the recent sea trials were "very successful," which brings the ship closer to being commissioned into the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

Features of the aircraft carrier Fujian

- Technological breakthrough: Fujian became the first Chinese aircraft carrier with an electromagnetic catapult, which allows launching heavier and more modern aircraft.

- Large-scale tests: Since launching in 2022, the aircraft carrier has undergone several stages of sea trials, including testing of control systems, navigation and aviation equipment.

- A symbol of military power: The commissioning of Fujian will strengthen China's position in the Asia-Pacific region and allow Beijing to more effectively project power over long distances.

According to experts, the appearance of the Fujian will significantly strengthen the capabilities of the Chinese navy, especially against the background of growing competition with the United States and its allies in the region. The new aircraft carrier is capable of carrying modern fighters, unmanned aerial vehicles and providing comprehensive support for amphibious and strike operations.

It is expected that by the end of 2025, the Fujian will be fully integrated into the fleet and begin regular exercises with other ships of the Chinese Navy. This event will mark an important milestone in the development of the Chinese navy and demonstrate the country's technological independence in the construction of large warships.
