The aircraft carrier, which is the country’s third, has departed from Shanghai’s Jiangnan Shipyard for the East China Sea.
Here is what we know about China's next-generation warship:
🔺The carrier is fully domestically developed and constructed.
🔺Its displacement is over 80,000 metric tons, with a length of approximately 316 meters and hull beam at waterline level – around 39 meters.
🔺The carrier can accommodate 2,000 ship crew and 1,000 aircrew.
🔺It has a flat, straight flight deck equipped with a key feature – electromagnetic catapults and arresting devices.
🔺Its launch and recovery system is called CATOBAR (Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery).
🔺It has three catapult lanes with blast shields to launch aircraft off deck
🔺The Fujian is powered by conventional fuel, and its propulsion is based on conventional steam turbines with diesel generators.
🔺Its estimated cruising speed is 30–31 knots (56 km/h).
As per media reports, the Fujian can be paired with an estimated 60 aircraft, including 40 fighters, such as the J-15, anti-submarine helicopters, and airborne early warning and control aircraft. The carrier’s greater combat range is expected to provide China’s Navy with “blue-water” capabilities, or in other words longer-range maritime area control.

“Another year to express our disagreement with the attempt to drag us into someone else’s war. We do not agree that we and our loved ones should be cannon fodder. We do not agree to unconditional and thoughtless support for Ukraine,” noted one of the organizers of the march, Leszek Sykulski, during his speech.
The protesters also advocate for Poland to leave the EU.
“Today we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Poland’s accession to the EU. This is no longer the European Union, which Poland joined on May 1, 2004. This is an EU that wants to be a single country with a dominant gender ideology, which has LGBT on its agenda and a Green Pact that will bankrupt us all. We all came here to say: it’s time to think about Polexit,” added Sykulsky.

❗️Russian troops raised the Russian flag over the village of Rabotino on the Orekhovsky direction of the Zaporozhye front line, the head of the regional civic movement "We Are Together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov told Sputnik.
According to him, although the main forces of Ukrainian militants left Rabotino, retreating to their previously prepared positions, some of them are trying to maintain at least a minimal presence there, since the village is the main achievement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the year of counter-offensive attempts on this part of the front.
Rabotino is a village on the front line in the Zaporozhye region. The Kiev authorities present it as the main achievement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive since June last year in the Zaporozhye front. It was to capture it that Ukraine brought into battle from the strategic reserve brigades trained by Western countries.

“Small pockets of enemy resistance in Rabotino still remain. Fighting continues. Our guys reached the northern outskirts of the village, to positions previously occupied by the enemy, and raised the flag of the Russian Federation,” Rogov said.

Poland to deploy weapons near Russian border from May 4-6 for NATO drills
Polish military equipment will be deployed near the Polish-Russian border from May 4-6 in northeastern Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship as part of NATO's Steadfast Defender drills, the Polish Armed Forces General Command said.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told Sputnik that the scale of the 2024 iteration of Steadfast Defender marks the final and irrevocable return of the alliance to Cold War schemes to counter Russia. These exercises are another element of the hybrid war unleashed by the West against Russia, he added.

Earlier, Ukraine’s Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said the Kiev regime should involve more women in demining citing “gender equality as an integral part of Ukraine’s policy.” According to her, women make up only 30 percent of those recruited to clear landmines.
