Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4
Swimmer, if the Chinese produce an LPD that looks like that, with the VLS and CIWS, I will have to give them very much credit for comming a long, long ways in a very short time. Though it will not have the capacity of a US LPD like the San Antonio, for their purposes, it looks to be a very capable amphibious assault ship design.swimmerXC said:
That is a GREAT pic...and I have to tell you, a very fine looking frigate. Very nice lines and she looks like she is going to be very capable. I want a much better look at those VLS cells.

yeah, that pictures seems to indicate the LPD will be using 2 type 730 CIWS and HQ-7 SAM with 100 mm gun, that definitely seems to be quite capable self-defense. The interesting part will be to see what kind of helicopters it will equip. I think Ka-29s are a good candidate.
Yeah, if we get a chance with the VLS cells, we will be able to tell if it is shtil type of VLS launchers or not.
Anyhow, I'm moving this to the 054A thread.

Guess this means that the 52C's are operational and the PLAN have admitted that they exist... to China?

BTW, great pics!
Now, this is the type of SAG or surface group the Chinese should be sending on their goodwill and show and tell missions to the west IMHO...such a thing would be much more impressive than the older DDG and replenishment vessel they currently send.
BTW, great pics!
