在25日举行的国防部例行记者会上，有媒体就福建舰是否即将交接入列提问。

At a regular press conference of the Chinese Defense Ministry on Thursday, media raised a question about whether the aircraft carrier Fujian is about to enter service.

对此，国防部新闻发言人张晓刚表示，福建舰试验训练正按计划顺利推进，大家期盼的那一天不会太远。

Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang said in response that the Fujian is progressing smoothly with its testing and training according to plan, and the day everyone is looking forward to is not far away.

张晓刚表示，近日歼-15T、歼-35和空警-600三型舰载机在福建舰上成功实施弹射起飞和着舰训练，标志着福建舰具备了电磁弹射和回收能力，为后续各型舰载机融入航母编队体系打下良好基础，在我国航母建设发展历程中具有里程牌的意义。

Recently, three types of carrier-based aircraft, the J-15T, J-35, and KJ-600, have successfully conducted catapult-assisted takeoff and landing training on the Fujian. This marks the carrier's acquiring electromagnetic catapult launch and recovery capabilities, laying a solid foundation for the integration of various types of carrier-based aircraft into the carrier formation system. It represents a milestone in the development of China's aircraft carriers, Zhang said.
