As reported by the Xinhua News Agency, on May 1, 2024, the third Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian (Fujian, tail number "18") first went to sea from Shanghai for factory sea trials. The aircraft carrier Fujian, designated as Project 003, was built at the shipbuilding enterprise of Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. (as part of the Chinese State Shipbuilding Corporation China State Shipbuilding Corporation - CSSC) on Changxing Island in Shanghai and will become the largest warship of the PLA Navy.

The Fujian ship, tail number "18", is China's third aircraft carrier. Fujian is the first ejection-type aircraft carrier designed and built entirely independently by China, without, allegedly, the use of foreign components and engineering support. It has a straight flight deck, is equipped with electromagnetic ejection and locking devices and has a total displacement of more than 80,000 tons.

Foreign Policy: the US military has made a conclusion from the conflict in Ukraine

American generals have modeled the war they are going to wage. Judging by recent exercises, the US army has learned lessons from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. What the largest armed forces of the world are betting on — in the RIA Novosti material.

Russia and China are the undisputed leaders in the development and adoption of hypersonic weapons.

The American program is regularly postponed due to deadlines, including due to significant budget growth.

TAC: the security agreement with the United States will drag Ukraine into an eternal conflict

A bilateral security agreement with the United States will drag Ukraine into an eternal conflict, writes TAC. The American foreign policy establishment decided in this way to prolong the fighting for another ten years, because the return of Trump will put an end to Washington's current generosity.

In order to divert the attention of the enemy's air defense forces and means, the Russian army uses special unmanned aerial vehicles – "decoys", which consume ammunition from enemy anti-aircraft missile systems.

Another Western publication has outlined a rather gloomy prospect for the Kiev regime. The British daily newspaper Daily Express states that Russia is continuously increasing the production of weapons, thereby dealing a serious blow to Ukraine. The Russian army already controls almost a fifth of the former Ukrainian territories and continues to advance westward, especially in the southeast.

Sweden is considering the possibility of increasing the number of surface warships and submarines in the country's Naval Forces.

One of the most significant achievements of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in terms of building defense is considered to be the legendary "Surovikin line". It was against this large-scale fortification that last year's widely publicized counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shattered.

The Naval Forces of Ukraine reported that on May 2, 2024, a ceremony was held for the commissioning of two small patrol boats transferred by Estonia as military assistance. These are the boats P 01 Roland and P 02 Risto, previously part of the Estonian fleet, built according to the Patrol 18 WP project by the Estonian shipbuilding company Baltic Workboats AS (BWB) in Nasva on the island of Saaremaa (Ezel), which have now received new Ukrainian names P 182 "Irpin" and P 183 "Reni".

The White House continues to inflame the atmosphere around the plans allegedly existing in Moscow for the use of nuclear weapons in space, invented by the American authorities themselves. At the same time, Washington accuses China of having such intentions, which is not surprising at all.

Al Khaleej: all options for the development of the conflict in Ukraine will lead to its defeat

Washington swore to Kiev that it would support him "to the last Ukrainian," writes Al Khaleej. What is really going on? Yes, the United States is providing more aid, but it is not enough. Other NATO countries "promise too much and do too little." In other words, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are doomed to a protracted defeat, the editorial board believes.
