Their first refurbished Ukrainian carier is still not operational (although currently at port in Syria but without any on-board airplanes)
No it isn't. The story of the Chinese carrier in port in Syria comes from Debka. It is a fabricated story. Think about it? A Chinese carrier through the Suez is not going to go unnoticed. Also think about all the commercial satellite imagery available to the media and still no images of this carrier in Syria. The story has taken on a life of its own! It is ridiculous!
