All right guys, that's enough complaining about a service's presentation style. That's not what this thread is about, so let's get back to the topic, shall we?
052C/052D Class Destroyers
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
Hot-launching a YJ-18 from forward VLS.
At last we get to see the CCL VLS hot launch clearly. Usually those hot launch pictures only show the leftover smoke plume after the missile has left the canister.
Just a general note ...
My old friend, we need to be patient ... there are recently many young and inexperienced members - and some with quite not the same abilities to analyse sources like senior members or a different standard to SDF of what is a reliable and credible source ... as such we should teach and guide them by explanation and patience. Even if this is quite hard sometimes - I see this at school everyday - we should not limit this personal freedoms to post.
Yes, Wikipedia is unreliable but we should do this in a civilised way.
Oh please, and now directly to you: You are no longer a junior member and you already got several warnings due to plain stupid "give us more", "let's chunk out more of them" ... and these constant Wiki-quotes. I already asked you several times to LEARN. To listen to senior members and where they take their information from.
And NO, Wiki is not reliable ... a few weeks ago, some Indians changed the J-20 page with the content that the PLAAF had lowered the J-20's classification from fifth to fourth generation fighter since the IAF could detect it. So much on "Those people have collected a large amount of information before they made any changes".
And now take this as a warning.

Based on my estimates, the 052D displaces around 8,000t. It drafts 0.6m deeper than the 052C, which is a 7,000t ship.
I've even seen some sources quoting figures of 8,500t.
