re: PLAN Type 071 LPD & its Landing Craft
i dont know, 1st unit was commissioned almost 6 years ago, they have been in service for a while now, its also been on anti-piracy missions but to me still they look like they are in emaculate condition almost like trophies
get them down and dirty, lets see a fully loaded Type 071 carrying out a high tempo excercise, marines running into rear ramp of a Z8 while rotors are on, on the rear deck, make that 2 Z8s at the same time, while marines load into LCAC simulltanously in a synchronized manner
lets see it take 4 helos at the same time, 2 on the deck with 2 rotors on whats the spacing between the blades, surely this is possible, lets see some rubber tyre markings on the deck, some exhaust marks on the helos
when Americans do things its for real even if its training, you know the type of operations i mean, these are warships lets treat them like one, in contrast they seem like beautiful ladies who are treated with way too much softness
these ships should never stop, must be pushed to thier operating envelope, to gauge the extent of their capability
i hope Liaoning is not treated the same way!
