China is building a fourth aircraft carrier known as Type 001A, which has distinct unprecedented features from previous ones.
According to local reports, the new carrier will be larger and more advanced than its previous three carriers.
It will be 315 meters long, 70 meters wide, and have a displacement of around 50,000 tons.
The carrier will feature advanced electromagnetic catapults and arresting gear, allowing it to operate more advanced aircraft.
The Y-20 is a Chinese-made strategic transport aircraft that can transport troops, equipment, and supplies over long distances.
It has a maximum takeoff weight of around 200 tons, a range of over 10,000 km, and can fly at a maximum speed of around 650 mph.
The Y-20 is designed to be highly versatile and can be used for various missions, including transporting troops, airlifting cargo, conducting aerial refueling, and serving as a command center.
It has been in service with the PLAAF since 2016 and has already been used in several military operations.
The new carrier is expected to play a significant role in China’s military modernization efforts and support China’s growing military presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
