Two days did not pass until the Chinese TV channel CCTVC7 presented a press report on the departure of naval aircraft .
It is noteworthy that “Shandong” is the first aircraft carrier manufactured in China, which indicates, according to Chinese military analyst, Li Dizai, the high capacity of the state and the high level in the field of warship production technologies in line with the large shipbuilding strategy applied in the country.
