中國戰機首次完成在航母降落確

Chinese state media say the country's navy has successfully landed a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier for the first time, in the latest sign of China's growing military and economic power.

In reports published Sunday, state-run news agencies said the navy landed several Chinese-made J-15 jets on the carrier Liaoning in the past week. The reports said the warplanes also took off successfully.

A senior Chinese military researcher told the China Daily newspaper that the daytime landings and take-offs are a "landmark" in the navy's efforts to develop the combat capability of the Liaoning, China's first aircraft carrier.

But this researcher also said more tests must be done before the carrier-based J-15 jets are ready for combat. He said the J-15 pilots have not yet performed landings and take-offs at night or in complex situations.

China bought the vessel as an unfinished Soviet aircraft carrier from Ukraine in 1998 and spent years refurbishing it. The Liaoning entered military service on September 25.中國官方媒體說，中國海軍首次成功地完成了在航母上的戰機降落，這是中國軍事和經濟實力不斷增強的最新跡象。

中國官方媒體星期天說，中國自行研製的艦載機殲-15上星期在遼寧號航母上完成了幾次降落。報道說，戰機還成功地從艦上起飛。

一名資深中國軍事問題研究人員對中國日報說，艦載機日間起降是中國海軍發展中國第一艘航母遼寧號作戰能力的一個“里程碑”。

但這位專家表示，必須進行更多測試，殲-15才能用於實戰。他說，殲-15飛行員還沒有在夜間或複雜情況下做過起降。

中國1998年從烏克蘭購買了這艘前蘇聯海軍未建造完成的航母，並用了數年的時間重新裝備。這艘被命名爲遼寧號的中國航母今年9月25日開始服役。
