>I never said anything about 5th gen
Then why are you focusing only on EMALS launch of the F-35? If you're not mentioning specifically 5th gens being launched by EMALS, then, surely, you will take the evidence of the F/A-18, and E-2 being launched from the USS Gerald R. Ford and be happy, no? Or are you lying in bad faith and being disingenuous now because you know the J-35 isn't actually a 5th gen aircraft? Can you show me video of China's Type 03 carrier launching and recovering combat loaded aircraft during storms and above sea state 1? Because all I've seen was a close up of a clean, min fueled J-35 launched during a perfect sunny weather in sea state 1 conditions where the carrier didn't even roll around. Hell, I doubt the Type 03 carrier was more than 15km away from its home port when it did those launches.
