China Accelerates Build of ‘004’ Nuclear Carrier, Pressing a Strategic Window in the Western Pacific

Chinese media and imagery indicate accelerated construction of a large fourth carrier, 004, at Dalian with a reported waterline wider than the US Ford class and likely nuclear propulsion. Fitted with four EMALS and expected to enter service in the late 2020s, the ship is portrayed domestically as a capability to extend China’s reach beyond the first island chain and contest US maritime dominance in the Western Pacific.

Why the U.S. Is Dressing Its ‘Aggressors’ as Chinese Fifth‑Gen Fighters

U.S. and U.K. forces used F‑35Bs to simulate Chinese fifth‑generation fighters during a Red Flag exercise at Nellis, part of a broader effort by the reactivated 65th “Invaders” squadron to model J‑20/J‑35 tactics. The practice underscores Washington’s shift to China‑focused high‑end training while highlighting the limits of surrogate aircraft in fully reproducing adversary capabilities.

China’s Type 076 Shows Off Wrapped Stealth Drone — A Glimpse of ‘Non‑Contact’ Amphibious Warfare

A photograph of a wrapped stealth unmanned aircraft aboard the Type 076 amphibious ship Sichuan has prompted observers to identify the platform as the carrier‑adapted Attack‑21. If integrated operationally, such unmanned systems and electromagnetic catapult technology could enable China to perform long‑range strike and persistent ISR from large‑deck assault ships, complicating regional defence and amphibious deterrence calculations.
