The Chinese aircraft carrier 003, also known as the Type 003 or the Fujian, is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier currently under construction for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China. It is the third aircraft carrier in the Chinese fleet and the first to be designed and built entirely by China. The carrier is expected to be commissioned in the mid-2020s and will be a significant addition to China's growing naval power. History China's interest in aircraft carriers dates back to the early 1990s when it acquired the ex-Soviet carrier Varyag from Ukraine.

 The DF-21D, also known as the Dong-Feng 21D, is a medium-range ballistic missile developed by China.

The DF-21D was first publicly revealed in 2010, during a military parade in Beijing. Since then, it has been the subject of much specul...
