El Type 002 Shandong es el primer portaaviones construido en China y el segundo portaaviones operativo de la PLAN, un buque STOBAR de propulsión convencional que amplía el diseño del Liaoning con una isla más pequeña, radar Type 346A y un grupo aéreo previsto más amplio. Puesto en servicio en Sanya el 17 de diciembre de 2019 con el número de casco CV-17, desde entonces el Shandong ha sido seguido en despliegues repetidos en el Pacífico occidental y el mar de China Meridional, más que en un uso de combate documentado.

Carrier Aviation Context

La evidencia pública respalda al Shandong como plataforma de aviación embarcada, no como un sistema con empleo de combate documentado. ChinaPower describe el buque como un portaaviones STOBAR con radar Type 346A, un grupo aéreo previsto de cazas J-15 y helicópteros, y un conjunto de autodefensa probablemente similar al del Liaoning. El seguimiento japonés en 2023 y 2025 documenta por separado operaciones repetidas de cazas y helicópteros embarcados desde el buque en el Pacífico occidental.

Método de lanzamiento

Las operaciones STOBAR con rampa ski-jump definen los límites de ala fija del buque antes de la transición de China al diseño de portaaviones con catapultas del Fujian.

Evidencia del grupo aéreo

Fuentes públicas vinculan al Shandong con operaciones de cazas J-15 y actividad de lanzamiento/recuperación de helicópteros; las cargas embarcadas exactas varían por despliegue y no son públicas de forma constante.

Configuración defensiva

La configuración de fuentes abiertas se centra en defensa cercana y sensores del buque, incluido el radar Type 346A junto con sistemas probables Type 1130, HQ-10, RBU-6000 y sistemas de señuelos.

Four-canister 8x8 launchers, HT-233-family fire-control radars, naval HHQ-9 and FD-2000 export designations make it a layered air-defense system rather than a single missile round; public conflict coverage now centers on Chinese island deployments in the South China Sea and Pakistan's HQ-9/P/HQ-9BE layer in the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict.
