It's basically saying 40 in total in 5 fleet. Each will have 8 type 22. Not sure if he is saying there are already that many or there will eventually be that many.

Well, I believe there are probably a good 8-12 already finished and from what I am seeing, there could easily be another 12-15 under construction right now.

According to Xinhui on CDF, there are 13 type 22 under construction right now. 6 in Shanghai, 2 in Qingdao, 2 in Guangzhou and 3 in Guangxi.

This sounds right. Sounds like very soon there will be somewhere between 25 and 28 of the vessels built with more coming, probably to the forty number you spoke of. They are fast and seem stealthy, they could pose a signifigant threat to other surface groups, particularly depending on the range and targeting of their missiles.

yeah, I'm guessing around 25-30 right now that have already joined serve or under construction. When I see UC, I mean you can already see clearly that it's a type 22.

Most likely 2x4 YJ-83s. That's why Y-8s are so important. The type 22s really need their tracking and guidance.

In war time, these things can be pumped out a lot faster than the surface fleet.

Nonexistent. Looks like a "what-if" based on the 52C but with beaucoup more VLS cells. Lengthened 52C concept with 160 missiles. Haven't heard any talk about this PLAN ship actually being built...just conceptual at this point as far as I know.

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4

apparently both 071 and 054A are in this picture, but I only see 071.
Anyhow, this is the latest photo we have from HD
