    China launches 3rd aircraft carrier

    It has EMALS catapults. The same as the Ford class carrier.

    Seriously- a helicopter can lift the USS Nimitz? I got me doubts about that. But hideously expensive American war toys are becoming increasingly irrelevant anyway. Spend the money on something that actually helps People. In particular, your own.

    Let it lift the new Chinese one. Should be easier as it won't weigh as much. It's diesel powered.

    It's a Sikorsky

    Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky (Russian: И́горь Ива́нович Сико́рский, tr. Ígor' Ivánovich Sikórskiy; May 25, 1889 – October 26, 1972)[4] was a Russian–American[1][2][3] aviation pioneer in both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.

    The[at]Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion[at]is a heavy-lift[at]helicopter[at]operated by the[at]United States military.

    Funny thing about graphs and statistics you can usually manipulate the result when you are pushing one sided propaganda.
    In other words China will need to lift its GDP by 22% while the USA stays static. Good luck trying to do that in BRICS. A number of western countries are looking at alternative sourcing and more so since the Russians have started murdering Ukrainians.
    They have seen trade does not equal peace with authoritarian dictatorships. The EU is now paying for its stupidity but I doubt it will be fooled a second time.

    Igor Sikorsky lived most of his life in the U.S. (Sikorsky became a U.S. citizen in 1928) and never returned to U.S.S.R. /Russia.
    Maybe the 3x stooges can take a guess why?

    Like all Russians (99.6% who have left or fled their country none of them have ever returned.
    Maybe the 3x stooges can take a guess why?

    If Russians have or had the opportunity to leave their country, Russia would be empty!!! 2022 -3.9 million, 2021-2.7 million, 2020-7.6 million 2019-8,4 million left their beloved country
    Maybe the 3x stooges can take a guess why?

    By the way, the Sikorsky Helicopters are American made and I'm sure that good ole Igor would agree 100%.

    He would most likely arm and fly a helicopter to Skidmarks home, and make a swiss cheese out of it. (and probably continue to the other 2x stooges)

    The Mil Mi-26 (Russian: Миль Ми-26, NATO reporting name: Halo) is a Soviet/Russian heavy transport helicopter. Its product code is Izdeliye 90. Operated by both military and civilian operators, it is the largest and most powerful helicopter to have gone into serial production.
