Taiwanese media have noticed that these details in "Chasing Dreams" are chasing dreams | Shandong | details
On the occasion of the 96th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army of China, CCTV aired an 8-episode documentary called "Chasing Dreams", which received attention from multiple foreign media outlets, including Taiwanese media.
Multiple Taiwanese media have noticed that this is the first exposure of footage of the aircraft carrier Shandong crossing the Taiwan Strait, indicating that the Shandong ship has appeared on the first island chain. The video also shows that during the passage of the Shandong carrier fleet through the Taiwan Strait, it suddenly encountered an external aircraft approaching for reconnaissance, and four J-15 bombers took off to carry out missions.
Retired Taiwanese military generals claimed that the J-15 carrier based aircraft's payload from the Shandong ship was a Thunderbolt air-to-air missile, emphasizing air superiority. He also pointed out that the training risk of the aircraft on an aircraft carrier is higher than at a regular airport due to the significantly shortened runway length. However, the Shandong ship made a total of 620 takeoffs and landings in 18 days, including nighttime takeoffs and landings. The visibility was very poor, and there was no interception cable visible, only the signal lights. Its difficulty is self-evident.
According to military experts on the island, the carrier based aircraft of the Shandong ship, the J-15, has developed capabilities such as air defense, comprehensive combat, and troop development. Moreover, the Shandong ship's ability to cross the Taiwan Strait and conduct training in distant waters indicates that it has practical combat capabilities, and future changes cannot be underestimated.
Some media outlets on the island pointed out that the release of this footage represents the increasing confidence of the People's Liberation Army in itself.
Taiwanese media also noticed her figure on the Shandong carrier.
According to the report, "Chasing Dreams" introduces Li Yunhan, a female soldier born in the 1990s who works on a Shandong ship. She is the first female navigation duty officer on a Shandong ship. During a mission in the Taiwan Strait this year, she faced the "foreign army" for the first time and was quite calm, but later passed smoothly.
The navigation duty officer refers to the person in the cockpit responsible for commanding the operation of the aircraft carrier during navigation and anchoring, who needs to pay real-time attention to the combat status and sea and air conditions of all areas of the ship.
According to the report, Li Yunhan is 29 years old this year. She, who was not a soldier before, decided to join the military after finishing her studies, hoping to do more for the country. In the film, she stated that after becoming a female navigation duty officer, "the sea area seen from the combat position is actually not calm."
