China to have 3 aircraft carriers by 2015
Several Chinese sources confirmed 2 more aircraft carriers are being built at JN shipyard in Shanghai.
Shi Lang Aircraft Carrier earlier known as Varyag will become fully operational in 2012.
Task of training carrier-borne aircraft pilots is underway, China is relying on its own efforts to train naval pilots.
J-15 Shark Eagle aircraft also fully operational.
Also Chinese Navy personals trained by Brazilian Navy in Brazilian aircraft carrier São Paul to get them some professional experience regarding operating aircraft carriers.
Got the details with a friendly dialogue with some people in Beijing, thought to share with you guys.
Interesting times ahead……….
