  1.  @newhailman  Wow, just like the Chinese Harbor Freight trailer hitch I bought.

  2.  @reesestefer  I can just see that catapult flinging a set of wheels into the ocean with the plane sitting on its belly on the deck. Then the pilot ejects. And everything catches fire. The Marx Brothers Navy.

  3.  @basscannonjake1235  A giant slingshot with a seat in it. Give them a leather football helmet for the landing.

  4. I translate "chose a different route" to mean "we haven't been able to steal that technology yet".

  5.  @feiwang5306  Translation: "At first, 003 was prepared to use steam. However, when preparing to use steam later, the electromagnetic ejection broke through. The top military officials conducted internal discussions for about a year, which delayed the commissioning of all aircraft carriers. Finally, electromagnetic ejection was used" So by "broke through" you mean "was stolen"?

  6.  @robertmawby3021  Shows how accurate the critics are. I consider it one of the most beautiful man-made objects on Earth.

  7.  @mythbusterthe6749  The last good thing the French built that I know of is the Eiffel Tower. Only the French can make a phallic symbol look feminine.

  8.  @KinoTechUSA69  I didn't lose the trailer, I just noticed cracks in a routine inspection. But yeah, lesson learned. Now I don't buy anything from China if I have a choice.

  9. Well, various militaries have wire-guided rockets. Maybe China is pioneering wire-guided carriers. Those sneaky Chinese bastards! THEY'RE AHEAD OF US!!!

  10. I doubt it. They'll keep messing with it, falsify some reports. Give a grand announcement and then it'll never leave the dock other than to putt around the harbor for photo ops.

  11.  @zenon7094  Translation: "And I think that as a German who had to spend his youth under a dictatorship, I can assess this quite well. You can always obtain comprehensive information from a wide variety of media...whether domestic or foreign media. The CCP's censorship suppresses almost all critical reporting and censors e.g. the Internet almost completely. Or do you think that the last year farmers protests in Germany could also be possible in China? This was extensively discussed in our press...with the most diverse opinions. Just because you may not agree with the policies of the current government does not mean that Germany is making a laughing stock of itself internationally. On the contrary... I have the impression that the fourth largest economy in the world is a sought-after and recognized partner in international politics. Putting the German state on the same level as the Chinese dictatorial system is nonsense."

  12.  @feiwang5306  Translation via Google: "Because China is not open to the public, you can’t find any information on the Internet. Occasionally, there are some pictures taken by Chinese military fans." Yes, these people seem to think that China allows film crews all over their latest carrier. Perhaps in the next video they should show scenery drone footage of the Chinese countryside instead: mountains, rice paddies, beautiful coastlines.

  13. Don't worry, they plan to put wings on it soon and call it the J-99 fighter.

  14. If you consider "near" being in about 500 years. China is a joke. It's as if Monty Python decided to be a country.

  15. That's OK. They will only be launching tofu fighters.

  16.  @feiwang5306  Translation: "Yes, China's weapons tests are not public. There is no information on the Internet. You can only get the information by hacking into the Chinese government."

  17. 😄Maybe they can make him honorary admiral of it.

  18.  @stephenwalsh1332triumph  Translation per Google: "The United States is number one in the world, and we don't feel ashamed to learn from the United States. We hope that the United States will launch a sixth-generation fighter jet as soon as possible so that China can copy it. Now many countries are building fifth-generation fighter jets, and fifth-generation fighter jets are no longer enough." There's a difference between learning and stealing. I know that but then I am not Chinese. One thing about stealing other people's weapons. The people who design a weapon system know its flaws and weaknesses. So someone who steals and copies it, when war comes the US will find it easy to destroy them exploiting those flaws and weaknesses.

  19. Probably because the CCP doesn't allow camera crews on their ships.

  20.  @feiwang5306  Translation: "Because everything in China is not public. It will only be made public after actual service. It is different from other countries. It was made public during the testing phase".

  21. I doubt China allows YouTube film crews onto their military grounds.

  22. Updated version of human wave attacks so beloved by Communist nations.

  23. Actually, their first two carriers were Russian. This third one is their first attempt using stolen US tech.

  24. When they give up getting it to work they can turn the carrier into an amusement park. That orange sled would be a trip to ride.

  25. Even the pigeons are 5G in China.

  26. China can't even make a decent screwdriver. They don't seem to understand tempering metal.

  27. Do you really think the Chinese Navy would allow a YouTube film crew to video their installation?

  28.  @feiwang5306  Translation: "China has not been made public, and there is no information at all on the Internet. He has no choice but to use the United States and CG to narrate the video."

  29.  @ChrisChocol  I was unaware of these. I'm not a car guy. Nice looking, both. Apparently they are not sold in the US yet but an article said Alpine will start selling 2 crossovers in 2027. So DS is the former Citroen now owned by Stellantis. I don't believe they are available here now. Dodges of course are here. Soon perhaps. Thanks!

  31. Why did the US Navy go with the new type? What's the advantage over steam?

  32. Copying someone else's test answers does not mean that you know the material.

  33. They should build seats on it so Chinese pilots can ride along on that orange sled and see what they are in for.

  35. Now, if they can figure out to get those 1 million infantrymen across the Pacific ocean the US will be in trouble. Well, sort of. We have about 400 million firearms in private hands so they will get a warm welcome. Actually come to think of it, how will China get those boys across the 100 miles of the Taiwan Strait to attack Taiwan?

  36. I read an article on a twin-engine airplane and about it's single engine performance it said "one engine has just enough power to carry the airplane to the crash site". So I guess Chinese ships have just enough power to carry them to the sinking site.

  37. The first two were Russian, actually Soviet. Don't know about the third one.

  38. That's why China will always be behind. Western nations need to invent and perfect the technology before China can steal it. By the time China gets this carrier operational the US will already be building the next generation.

  39. Well, they did invent gunpowder in about 900AD. Of course they didn't know what to do with it other than make fireworks. It took Westerners to figure out its applications. I suspect they discovered it by accident, probably some traditional herbalist was grinding a bunch of tofu herbs he found growing in an out house and <kablooey!!!> gunpowder was discovered.

  40.  @vincentramirez8188  I know the US Air Force was experimenting with drones in WW2. Joseph Kennedy, President Kennedy's older brother was killed in that program. They were using B-17s as drones.

  41. "the aircraft carrier catapult isn't supposed to throw the planes into the water..." I laughed for about 15 minutes when I read this. I wonder if the Chinese know this?

  42.  @markgarin6355  Pessimism will not be tolerated! Jeez, I'm laughing again!

  43. I can only imagine the forces on a fighter aircraft going from 0 to 150 mph in 2 seconds. I can see it ripping aircraft into pieces, especially tofu built stolen soviet designs.

  44. I wonder if we have to fear Chinese nukes? They're probably a bigger danger to China than to the US.

  45. Oh, so like the CCP has been doing for 30 years?
