US Navy: Psychological Warfare Against China’s “Liaoning”: US Aircraft Carrier Performance Comparison

U.S. Navy Photo:

Earlier this month, the US Navy posted a photo on its website.

Recently, China has been enthusiastic.

Put your feet on the parapet,
With his deputy captain
This is a leisurely photo of the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning.

Comments from China SNS:

Chinese social media
There are a lot of humiliating comments.

“Is it not worth seeing, or is it lacking in military history?”
“It means contempt.”
“I want to break my legs on the parapet”
“In the eyes of the U.S. military, it seemed like a toy passing by.”
“Look at 20 years from now.”

South China Morning Post (SCMP):

One of the photos posted on the website
The US Navy has bathed China in cold water as if nothing had happened.

It is an advanced psychological warfare.

Performance comparison of US aircraft carrier:
-Liaoning is virtually the same as for carrier-based aircraft and takeoff and landing practice-

It takes nearly 10 years to “secure the actual operational capacity even if we build a state-of-the-art aircraft carrier.”

Liaoning is not only inferior in experience but also in performance.
She is virtually close to takeoff and landing practice.

US aircraft carrier
Equipped with a nuclear propulsion system, it can sail all year round without refueling.

Liaoning
However, the diesel engine Liaoning runs out of fuel within a week of leaving her homeport.

Takeoff and landing system for carrier-based aircraft:
Liaoning’s carrier-based aircraft takeoff and landing system is even more problematic.

Liaoning
Liaoning uses a “ski jumping platform” with the bow facing up 14 degrees.
The runway is not long, so take off on the upward runway.
However, this does not allow the fighter to carry enough fuel and weapons.

Liaoning’s operational radius and combat ability will be significantly reduced.

US aircraft carrier
The United States is a catapult and has solved all the problems.
Launch an airplane into the air with a strong force.
That way, you can load fighters and many fuel weapons.

Stealth fighter F35
In addition, US aircraft carriers will be equipped with 80-90 military aircraft, including the F35 stealth fighter.

In contrast, China lacks stealth aircraft and has a considerable shortage of carrier-based aircraft.

The movement of Japan and the United States to track the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet has been captured by civilian optical satellites.

Two USS Arleigh Burke-class Aegis ships and
Two escort vessels of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force,
A total of 4 ships are chasing.

Mustin was one of them.
