FFG 054/054A Thread

alright, more photos of 054A from HP shipyard. This time, we get a better look at the VLS, although too many photos, so I will leave that for the next post

 

[tphuang]

alright, the more close up looks on the VLS

In my opinion, it looks like 8 x 4.

 

[tphuang]

anyhow, similar to type 71 LPD. I'm showing some close up shots of 054A from HD.

I got some pictures of FCR, type 730 and the main gun here

alright, I missed one with the last post, this is the one that I think is Sea Eagle and some people think is top plate

So it seems...By simply outward looks it resamples more of the Type 381 radar than Fregat, tough the first one has only one plate...but apparently chinese have evolved the design with the two-plate configuration from the russian system...

This is gonna sound a bit weird, but that VLS platform reminds me of the SA-N-9.

I think it's unlikely that it'd be the Kinzhal, but for some odd reason it just resembles one covered up to me.

could be, type 381 is also referred to as Sea Eagle on huitong's site. Could just be a further development in that series like how the type 360 radar also apparently having different versions.

Anyhow, this is going back in time, but a photo of 525 with 886 supply ship

Back to the present day, more 054A from HD

 

[tphuang]

I wonder if the photos will stop, but here are more from today.

What's with the brown spot on the side of the ship?

Dirt from smoke? Doesn't need to be fire, though.
