re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
Oops, that was unclear on my part. My spring allergies have been kicking in please pardon any benadryl-induced confusion.
What I mean is that in terms of financial, personnel, and percentage of the fleet cost in case a ship is lost, it makes more sense for a less dominant navy to have more smaller ships rather than fewer larger ones. It is only worth it if the larger ship is correspondingly more capable and survivable relative to the increased costs.
Not exactly by specific tonnage but in general around the typical frigate/destroyer class size, because ships that size with contemporary technology can be capable and well rounded enough that it is the best value for the cost. Larger ships such as cruisers may not be as good of a value especially if a single unit costs more in multiple aspects yet is not more survivable.

71 missiles, lets see the video first!

re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
This is the type of live fire exercises you really like to see...where they are actually testing in real life what they have modeled on the computer simulations. 71 missiles is a very good number...very impressive indeed. Would be GREAT to see videos of this.
Very impressive exercises. Love that last pic of the detonation. I wonder if it was an actual intercept test, or an automatic detonation...whatever, its impressive.Anyone has video of this? supposed to be the largest naval exercise PLAN has ever conducted. 71 missiles launched.

DDG 151 is still under going sea trial, how long will it last?
the second vessel of the second batch, it is not supposed to take so long. I guess sth is not going right. the rumour is that the delay is due to 151 being used for testing modular construction, but if that's the case, it should start with the 150.

71 missiles ? ... hard to believe ? any report yet ?
71 missiles is like all missiles carried by ~1.5 fully armed 052C ... really impressive if it is true
71 missiles, let say $300K each .... $21M ... hmmmmm not too bad, isn't it ?
I don't think PLAN is rich enough to do that yet

re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
Why is military hardware so damn expensive?! Does it really have to cost that much for a metal tube with electronics and a small rocketengine? I read somewherethat a PAC-3 missile cost a million bucks. AMRAAMS go for ~ $300000.

151? i see 171, not 151. Besides, how do you that it is taking long? we still dont have any vídeo to see.
