Hey there! Have you ever wondered what big ships do out at sea? 🚢 On Wednesday, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) sent their huge aircraft carrier, the Shandong, to take part in military exercises near Taiwan Island.
But what’s an aircraft carrier? It’s like a floating airport! 🛫 Planes can take off and land on it while it’s out at sea. Isn’t that cool?
During these exercises, the Shandong worked together with other ships and planes. They practiced things like:
- Coordinating between ships and aircraft.
- Gaining control of the skies. 🌤️
- Practicing strikes on targets both on land and at sea.
These drills help the troops get better at working together in different situations. It’s like when you and your friends play team games to improve your teamwork skills! 🤝
By practicing inside and outside the island chain, they’re learning how to operate in lots of different environments. This makes them ready for anything!
