China lands first jet on aircraft carrier

A fighter jet lands successfully on China's first aircraft carrier. A recent training session saw several landing drills carried out with the new Chinese-produced fighter jet, called the J-15. It's the first time planes have landed on the aircraft carrier, which launched earlier this year. The Liaoning was refitted from a ship bought from Ukraine and has undergone over 100 tests and training sessions.
