052C/052D Class Destroyers
- Thread starter Jeff Head

Looks like only one of the two still in the drydock can be launched by the end of this year...An update from Dalian shipyard.

and looks like plenty of modules panels in the adjacent yard for more DDGs?
Chinese Navy destroyer Haikou (171) and frigate Huangshan (570) arrived HongKong
Quoted from the CV-16, CV-17 STOBAR Carrier thread.
Out of curiosity, I took a look at the drydock to the east, which is famous for the "5x 052D DDGs under construction at one time" sight at Dalian - And it seems like those two remaining 052Ds in the drydock won't be in the water anytime soon.
Apparently there are two newly-laid ship hull-shaped modules(?) in the outer half of the drydock:
Satellite photograph taken by Sentinel-2 L2A just today (September 28).
Tracing back, those new modules(?) were first spotted on the 20th this month.
Any idea what those two new modules(?) are for? Someone on the ground should go take a closer look.

I think the video specifically mentioned this was a 2019 visit?
Some stats for Nanning on display at an open house event in Nigeria:
Anti-ship missile has a range of 600KM. Surface to air has a range of 200KM. AESA radar has a detection of over 400KM.

It's easy to claim a given number, but are they backed up by tests?

China always tend to understate the figures because they don't have to advertise their weapons to promote sales. The West and US weapon manufacturers and their lobbists are just opposite because they are profit oriented and have to please their shareholders and stakeholders.
I don't see any reason to doubt PLAN's figures. 600KM for Anti-ship missiles and 200KM for SAM are not really that extra-ordinary. Ditto for radar range.
those numbers are really good. i imagine they are legit since they are put out by the ship?
