China’s State-owned National Broadcaster cctv has announce that the nation’s must advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujianwill be able to conduct ‘deck load strikes’ ance commissioned. This is a Type of Swarm Attack in Which a Large Number of Aircraft Can Be Launchesy.
The Tactic, Widely Employed by the US Navy During the Vietnam War, is Touted to Enablese the Chinese Navy to Gain A ‘First Move’ Advantage During Battle. It Had Been Previously Speculated That Fujian WOULD BE EQUIPED with the Capability, But this is the First Time It has Been Publicly Confirmed.
“China’s Aircraft Carrier Technology is Marking a Historic Leap as It Enters The Critical Phase of Combat Capability Development,” CCTV Explained in It Report. The Broadcaster Added that the domestically Produced Carrier has Been “Progressing steadily” Since its trial in may last Year.
According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP)The Carrier Will Soon Join the People’s Liberation Army Navy (Plan), Bringing the Fleet’s Carrier Strength Up To Three. The Fujian is expected to be Operational by the End of 2025, Joining China’s other Carriers, the Liaoning and Shandong.
Fujian Equipped with Electromagnetic Launch System
“The Plan Equipped with Three Aircraft Carriers, Will Greatly Enhance its Escort and Defense Capability,” CCTV Observed. “Compred to Traditional Aircraft Carriers with Ski-Jump Flight Decks, The Electromagnetic Launch System of the Fujian Can Greatly Improve the Efficiency of Carrier-Based Aircraft Deployment, “It Added.
It’s just this technology that forms the foundation of the claimed ‘deck load strikes’ of the carrier. It Will Enable the Rapid Deployment of Multiple Aircraft Over A Short Span of Time. “Launching A Swar Attack Could Overwhelm The Enemy, Securing the First-Mover Advantage of Early Detection and Pre-Emptive Attacks,” CCTV Explained.

ACCORDING TO MILITARY ANALYST CAO WEIDONG, DRIVECING SUCH A LAUNCH WOULD TEST ALL OF THE SHIP’S SYSTEMS AND CREW. However, He Noted That If the Crew Cour Perform Up To the Standard Seen in Training, “The Carrier’s Full Potential Could Be Realized.”
“Sortieing AS Many Aircraft as Possible in the First Wave of Attack to Destroy, Suppress and Deter Enemy Targets Enables the Carrier to Secure Superiority, Estabish Maritime Dominance or Support Landing Operations,” Cao Told CCTV.
To mimic us ‘alpha strikes’ from vietnam war
“In Warfare, this AllWs The Carrier to Achieve First Detection, First Strike in the Initial Attack, Inflicing Significant Damage and Securing A Strategic Advantage,” He continued.
If a mix of aircraft COULD BE LAUNCHED, THE CARRIER COULD ALSO BE CAPABLE OF DRIVECTING SOMETHING CALLED ‘ALPHA STRIKES’. While Total Number of Aircraft Vary, Such Attacks Typially Involve Getting Around Half of All Aircraft Onboard Aircraft in Short Order.
During Such Operations, The Carrier Will Tond to Remain Heading Into the Wind and At General Quarters–ANNOUNCEMENT MADE ABOARD A Naval Warship to signal that all hands must go to battle stations–Ready to recover aircraft return from sorties or Damaged During Battle.
ACCORDING TO THE LATE US ADFORMAL JAMES HOLLOWAY – COMMANDER OF THE US SEENENTH FLEET DURING THE VIETNAM WAR – ALPHA STRIKES WERE DEPLOYED BY THE US FOR THE VEY FIRST TIME “FOR THE SHOCK EFFECT OR BECAUSE OF THE NEEDY TO PERRATE VEY HEAVY DEPENSES.”
“ON AN ALPHA STRIKE, ALL AVAILABLE AIRCRAFT ON THE CARRIER WERE ORGANIZED INTO STRIKE GROUP,” ADFORRAL HOLLOWAY SAID WHEN Discussing Naval History at Conference in 1991.
