April 20.– The Fujian has been just launched and it is one CATOBAR carrier; meaning that it is a Catapult Assisted Take-off But Arrested Recovery (B stands for Barrier also). In these systems, the deck of the carrier is totally flat.
The Fujian is also equipped with China’s version of the electromagnetic launch system (EMALS), which uses powerful electromagnets to launch aircraft, enabling the launch of additional and heavier types of aircraft faster.
These aircraft could include improved J-15Bs, naval versions of the J-20 and FC-31, and J-600 airborne early warning and control (AWACS) planes and drones.

Everything that is known about images said to be classified.
Pentagon documents circulating on social media. What does the leak involve?
London, Apr.11.– The leak involves what appear to be classified US intelligence documents – some top secret – a number of which relate to the war in Ukraine. Others give indications of how widely the US has compromised Russian decision-making, while others contain material derived from spying on allies.
Unlike other recent leaks – including material released by NSA contractor Edward Snowden and former US Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning – the files appear to be hard copies of what appear to be briefing materials and slides.
