075 LHD thread

I guess China won't be seeing those Ka-52 Alligator's anytime soon.

Personally, I hope they can build improved and enlarged Z10 variant with Z20's engines. That will enable this variant with more armour and weapon loads. But that is just my dream. However, Turkey did put relatively huge engines on their variant of Italian A129, the T129 Atak.

I don't know why you think that is the case. Kamov is supposed to be finishing trials for the Ka-52M in October. Afterwards they are supposed to be delivering an order of over a hundred of those helicopters to the Russian Air Force. After that the designers will be working on a program to make a next generation naval transport helicopter.

I am sure the current war effort will put a lot of strain on their existing helicopter fleet but Russia has been building dedicated repair facilities for most programs. So I doubt the repairs or upgrades will be done at the manufacturing plant. And the number of Ka-52s lost thus far in combat isn't even one year's full production.

If I'm not mistaken, the PLAN's third Type 075, the PLANS-33 "Anhui" is ready for commissioning.

Either this is a rehearsal (IMO more likely) or already the event itself. Does anyone know more?

The short and sweet answer is we dont know. So far there is also no evidence for further 075 under construction, despite claims of eight hulls planned.
