China's first aircraft carrier seen in the port of Dalian (27 / 7). China to build aircraft carrier after buying the former aircraft carrier 'Varyag' from Ukraine in 1998.
Chinese state media shrink the meaning of the military threat from the country's newaircraft carriers, giving an indication that it would likely take 15 to 20 years for China tohave aircraft carriers that are primed and ready.
In the main article on its website Thursday, the official Xinhua news agency quoted aRussian military analyst said the carrier's Ukrainian reassembled equipment that is conducting shakedown cruise this week, will never be fit for combat.
Ruslan Pukhov, head of Strategy and Technology Analysis Center Moscow say the ship, called the Varyag, is outdated even before the ship was purchased.
The report was apparently intended to assuage concerns among neighboring countriesof China that the carrier can be a factor in maritime disputes in the East China Seaand South China Sea.
Other Chinese media emphasized in their coverage of the launch was that the aircraft carrier Varyag will be used for research and practice.
