With the support of electromagnetic catapult technology, the People's Navy has successfully equipped the "carrier battle group".

Stealth Carrier-Based Fighter

The J-35 is a new type of stealth carrier-based fighter independently developed by our country, featuring an integrated design with a single-seat, twin-engine, outward-canted twin-tail layout. It forms a high-low pairing with the J-15T, achieving a synergy effect greater than the sum of its parts, effectively enhancing the carrier group's long-range combat capabilities.

Multi-Role Carrier-Based Fighter

The J-15T, based on the J-15, is equipped with a catapult launch bar, compatible with the Fujian ship's electromagnetic catapult system. The naval carrier-based fighter has made a historic leap from ski-jump to catapult launch. With its large payload and long range, it can conduct saturation attacks against enemies, possessing strong strike capabilities against both sea and land targets.

Fixed-Wing Carrier-Based Early Warning Aircraft

The KJ-600 is an all-weather carrier-based early warning aircraft independently developed by our country, supporting catapult takeoff. It can perform tasks such as early warning detection, command guidance, target indication, and operational coordination, earning the title of "Sea and Air Command Center." It provides the carrier battle group with extended early warning time, significantly improving interception efficiency.

Fixed-Wing Electronic Warfare Aircraft

The J-15DT is a catapult-launched carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft. It can effectively implement electronic jamming and suppression in complex electromagnetic environments, weakening the operational effectiveness of enemy air defense and electronic equipment, safeguarding friendly fighters, and mastering "electromagnetic dominance."

Anti-Submarine Helicopter

The new type of anti-submarine helicopter serves as a "multi-functional combatant" on the aircraft carrier, capable of detecting and attacking underwater intruders, strengthening the underwater defense line, and quickly executing maritime search and rescue. It is a key component in addressing underwater threats and ensuring the safety of the fleet.

The complete equipping of the "carrier battle group" signifies that the carrier group will deeply integrate multiple chains of offense, defense, reconnaissance, and support, achieving a simultaneous establishment of "strike" and "eyes." This indicates that the Fujian ship has initially formed comprehensive combat capabilities in air superiority, maritime control, land strikes, reconnaissance and early warning, electronic countermeasures, and anti-submarine warfare.
