Following the previous period exposed Varyag Aegis radar is installed, the latest news that China has begun installation of four aircraft from the carrier aircraft landing equipment. American International Associated Press published an article recently published Andrei Chang said the aircraft carrier pilots in training has a long history and rich experience in Ukraine, is currently training for the Chinese People's Liberation Army aircraft carrier fighter pilot training is over. Andrei Chang that China sent to Ukraine to learn the backbone of the military carrier aircraft flying techniques, suggest that the PLA is accelerating as a carrier battle group to prepare.

Andrei Chang claimed to receive messages from the Ukraine in the military field, the Chinese as early as October 2006 sent by the PLA Navy deputy commander to lead a large military delegation to visit Ukraine, detailed visited the southern city of Odessa in Ukraine and Sava Stowe Boer The Naval Air Training Center. In addition, the Chinese delegation also visited the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine Bennett card research and test center. Ukraine to help the two sides discussed the possibility of Chinese training aircraft pilots. Since then, the Chinese engineers, pilots, the Navy technical experts began to frequent access Nitka flight test center.

The article mentioned that China and the Ukraine and Russia military cooperation, mainly in terms of development of large aircraft and aircraft carriers. It is reported that Ukraine has provided China with a T-10K carrier-based aircraft prototype, the aircraft carrier-based aircraft in Russia in the early Soviet -33 improved models. China is expected through the decomposition of T-10K carrier-based aircraft, carrier-based aircraft manufacturer to master all the techniques. According to reports, the plane T-10K carrier-based aircraft, originally owned by Bennett card test center for all of Ukraine. Shows China is moving from testing all aspects of the possibility of carrier-based aircraft carrier.

Nitka center for the training of the former Soviet Union aircraft carrier pilots during the main base, has a full range of flight simulation training device. The main flight test center early Nitka for training Soviet MiG -33 and -29 aircraft carrier pilot. Now, 297 of the Russian Navy aircraft carrier air group is here for simulation training.

Nitka flight test center sources, and now Ukraine is not only willing to train pilots for China, but also for India and other countries are expected to have a training carrier pilots. According to earlier media reports, the Indian Navy aircraft carrier purchased from Russia, and several MiG-29k as a carrier aircraft, the first aircraft delivery is expected in India later this year. The pilots of these aircraft is expected to flight test center in Nitka training.

Andrei Chang said, China has introduced four sets of secret aircraft carrier-based aircraft landing aids, and arresting hook cable; In addition, the PLA is also building its own aircraft carrier training base, so Nitka simulated flight test center equipment, training software and management procedures, and related technologies with a strong interest. Construction of carrier-based aircraft carrier pilot training is a key step in formation, related training programs is very strict. According to Ukrainian sources, only the most basic high-speed short takeoff and landing capability, at least six months of training. Four sets of equipment, some of which will be the first installed in the Varyag for the Chinese aircraft carrier-based aircraft carrier pilots trained himself, no doubt to the people of the aircraft carrier Varyag imagination of space.

The article said that Chinese soldiers went to Ukraine to learn flying aircraft carrier technology, once again demonstrates the PLA's efforts to build a carrier battle group. This also shows that China's future aircraft carrier construction is likely to adopt the design of the Russian style, is a Russian aircraft carrier takeoff and landing slip hop approach, but the latest analysis indicates that China is more interested on the way to catapult take-off.

The article, China has taken toward the construction of aircraft carriers in real terms in the pace of the training base. The first step is training at the base of carrier-based pilots, the next purchase in China in 1998, retired aircraft carrier Varyag short takeoff and landing on the training. Industry news from Ukraine also said that China will not Varyag rebuilt into active duty aircraft carrier, is most likely to create a platform for the carrier pilot training.
