Satellites Reveal China’s Major Aircraft Carrier Updates
Satellite imagery of a Chinese naval base near the contested South China Sea suggests the country’s most-advanced aircraft carrier, CNS Fujian, may soon be put into service.
BlackSky, a Virginia-based space intelligence company that provides real-time images, on Friday shared an October 25 satellite image of Yulin Naval Base on the Chinese southern island province of Hainan, showing the Shandong and the Fujian pierside.
The satellite image shows aircraft and crowds of sailors on the Fujian’s flight deck and pier, BlackSky said. @type36512, a military observer on the social-media platform X, said a podium for important ceremonies appeared to be under preparation on the pier.
