China says 2 pilots died in aircraft carrier tests

BEIJING (AP) — Two Chinese test pilots were killed during development of the country's first aircraft carrier fighter wing, state media said, in a rare admission of problems with the hugely popular naval program.

The admission came in a report by the official Xinhua News Agency saying President Xi Jinping had signed an order awarding honorary titles to all pilots in the first squadron to conduct take-off and landing tests aboard the Liaoning, China's only aircraft carrier.

"Two test pilots of the squadron sacrificed their lives during the tests," the report said. No details were given.

The original Xinhua report ran Aug. 28, but went largely overlooked at the time. It was picked up by U.S. defense blogs and linked Friday to the blog of the U.S. Naval Institute.

Carrier flight operations are inherently risky, and the loss of two pilots is far from unusual. However, China's military still operates under a shroud of secrecy and no deadly accidents relating to the carrier had been reported at the time.

Scotland is not that rich to begin with, more so after banks will possibly leave and cripple their economy

London may leave their scot regiment, and form somekind of defence pact later

Looks like they made deal to purchase a decomm oil rig from petronas, I reckon they bought the jack up type to operate on shallow reef waters. Oil rigs is expensive even decomm ones, easily fetches from usd75mil upwards

Though I dunno what they actually want to do to with the bm5, upgrade it?

Nice idea for photoshoot, terrible idea on real situation

A column of tanks barreling down a scenic plain? Christmas present for atgm teams lol

At least have ifv to guard the rear, or combat heli doing cas

Towing speed, can see tugboat also operates like that

Slow cuz have to careful about few things, rope strength, towed ship condition, weather condition, speed (pull too hard the bow might take on water and then sink)

Fuh.. salute to the crew for just keeping that tub afloat in that kind of storm, which almost a miracle itself

Better take chance tow it out of the storm rather than leave it dead in the water waiting to sink

Sometime huge ass tanker also need tugboat for help avoiding the shore, or else the wind would push us up on the ground

No lah, me just a lowly tanker crew

*Bijan slaps you with rm7bil*

7 only? I expect dozens!!

Oh well, at least we know they did get something

Seen this chopper a couple if times, not sure its chinamen or korean company cuz got same livery

That side thing is floatation device, can deploy balloon floater if emergency land on water

UAV plus 30mm rws is pretty hardcore/overkill for a coast guard ship dun you think?

Well not that suprising since ex-rmn vessels still also retains their guns too

Abam try bukak gambar tu besau skit.. tu C-130
