A TV segment on the weapon testing ship
Bisheng (around 4:15 mark).
Film clip has many gems including:
In formation in sea along with Test Ship 892, plus some other ships.
Some of the VLS firing scenes were from ship 892 instead of 891, likely to be PLA stock footage. You can see the Type 382 Top Plate radar rotating. 892 is fitted with the AJK-16 VLS for testing while 891 is fitted with U-VLS.
The Type 346A radar that used to be attached to the side of ship 892 for testing is gone.
There is a scene with a low altitude intercept of a SAM at a sea skimming target drone, although its not clear if the missile is an HQ-16 or HQ-9 and is PLA stock footage.
Some scenes of YJ-18 launching. The YJ-18 does not pop its motor after its launched from the VLS like the HQ-9 but simply burns from the start. The take off of the YJ-18 is slower than the HQ-9, almost leisurely compared to the immediate sprint of the HQ-9.
Antiship missile in terminal stage. With the fuzziness its hard to see what it is. My impression is that it is a rocket being without belly intake. Could be old YJ-81 stock footage but the rocket lacks midsection wings.
Scene shows an antiship missile literally slicing through its target like a bullet through butter. Could be stock footage.
Nothing really new or exciting happening on 891, other than testing EW equipment. Even these might have concluded some time ago.
