Why Chinese navy still trails the US in high-stakes game of underwater aircraft recovery
AI Summary
A Chinese military magazine warns that the PLA Navy lags behind the US in underwater aircraft recovery capabilities. The article, published in Shipborne Weapons, highlights the risk of losing sensitive military technology if carrier-based aircraft crash and China cannot secure the wreckage before rival forces. It emphasizes that crashed aircraft contain valuable information that could be exploited by other nations. The concern is amplified by the expected deployment of China's advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, to areas like the South China Sea and western Pacific, increasing the likelihood of crashes in distant waters. The article suggests China needs to improve its underwater salvage operations to protect its military assets and prevent technological espionage.
