re: PLAN Type 071 LPD & its Landing Craft

is this a Chinese Zubr in the north sea fleet (Jinan military region)?

Certainly not nearly big enough to be called a Zubr
It's even impossible to say is it LCAC or what

A new photo of the 071 LPD which show the inside clearly, about 12-14 metre in width. Not quite sure about depth.

yeah, I've seen both pictures, I'm guessing the helo is Z-8, although it's pretty hard to tell from here.

This is clearly a PLAN medium land ship unloading troops

Wait a minute!! Wait a minute!!...Just when did the PLAN purchase the Zubr? I thought the ship was out of production? Are these Russian left overs??? what gives??

As far as I can determine the last one built was for the Hellenic(Greek) Navy in 2005.

Someone please provide some proof of purchase.
