China's J-15T, J-35 and KJ-600 carrier-based aircraft have completed their first catapult-assisted takeoffs and arrested landings on the Fujian aircraft carrier, the PLA Navy's first equipped with an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System.

The milestone confirms the ship's capability for full-deck operations and marks a significant leap in China's aircraft carrier program, boosting its transformation toward far-sea operations.
