I didn’t know the PLAGF operated their own landing ships. Doesn’t the PLAN also operate a bunch of landing craft?

PLAGF has a small fleet of ships that include landing crafts, troop transport ship (for Bohai region) as in post #2943 above, riverine patrol boats (along Chinese-Russian border), hovercraft and WIG craft (also deployed along Chinese-Russian border).

PLAGF boats' standard paint scheme is blue color. PLA Navy landing craft are painted in light grey color. PLAGF ships and boats have alpha-numeric identification (Eg DN 123) while Navy boats are purely numeric (except some auxillary ships).

Don't know how it compare to a big caliber anti material rifle like the ntw-20, Baher 23mm or rt-20 ? QN-202 don't have a big warhead and time between launch is probably higher. Weight of QN-202 with two missiles is probably less, maybe it could be used like a secondary weapon.
