Core Viewpoint - The development of a mature aircraft carrier requires a comprehensive combat capability, including air superiority, maritime control, early warning, electronic warfare, and anti-submarine warfare, collectively referred to as the "carrier five-piece set" [1][3]. Group 1: Challenges of Assembling the "Carrier Five-Piece Set" - Assembling the "carrier five-piece set" is extremely challenging, necessitating breakthroughs in advanced technologies such as catapults and stealth, along with a complete industrial system to support the mass production of both the carrier and its aircraft [5]. - The endeavor demands long-term substantial investment and a professional talent pool, representing a rigorous test of a nation's defense technology capabilities [5]. Group 2: China's Progress in the "Carrier Five-Piece Set" - China's "carrier five-piece set" is expected to be realized on the Fujian aircraft carrier, with the recent public appearance of the J-15T carrier-based fighter jet indicating progress in this area [7].

Core Viewpoint - The development of a mature aircraft carrier requires a comprehensive combat capability, including air superiority, maritime control, early warning, electronic countermeasures, and anti-submarine warfare [1]. Group 1: Aircraft Carrier Capabilities - A modern aircraft carrier's core combat power is supported by a system referred to as the "aircraft carrier five-piece set," which includes stealth carrier-based fighters, multi-role carrier-based fighters, fixed-wing early warning aircraft, fixed-wing electronic warfare aircraft, and anti-submarine helicopters [2][3]. - Achieving the complete "aircraft carrier five-piece set" is extremely challenging, necessitating breakthroughs in advanced technologies such as catapults and stealth, as well as a comprehensive industrial system to support mass production of both the carrier and its aircraft [5]. Group 2: China's Progress - China's "aircraft carrier five-piece set" is expected to be realized on the Fujian aircraft carrier, with the recent public appearance of the J-15T carrier-based fighter indicating progress towards this goal [7].
