It has been claimed that Chinese pilots have managed to successfully land and take off the J-15 jet from `The Liaoning' aircraft carrier. It was yesterday that China has proved that it is now capable enough to deploy fighter jets on its first aircraft carrier.

The best part is that pilots have proved that they can manage this feat even in critical conditions such as poor visibility and unstable airflow, as per Vice-Admiral Zhang Yongyi, a deputy commander of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy.

"We have done all these test flights from the very beginning, and finally we mastered the key skills for the landing of carrier-borne aircraft", he said, who is commander-in-chief in charge of the tests and training programme of the flight landing.

There are not many countries which have achieved this milestone and China being the latest to join the esteem list has proved how serious it is towards pushing the economy faster. This feat has added another laurel to China's attempts to grow leaps and bounds in economic growth.

With so much of emphasize being given to defense budget in China since 2006, the carrier tests have once again reinforced China's progress in military modernization.
