Re: Missiles for 2208 catamaran FAC
500 units of Sunburns (3M80E) ? Are you sure crobato?
Perhaps China has resorted to reverse engineering in producing a Sunburn (3M80E) ´look alike´?
Another interesting question would be how the usage of the 3M80E AshM could affect the tactical pattern of operation of type 022.

Moskits are out of the question as its impossiple in physical terms to fit them to the hangar of 022.

I think they are overstating it, but it shouldn't be that surprising. As seen with R-27/R-77, they are purchasing a lot of missiles for the number of platforms they have. Just making sure they still have supplies in case of a war.
If they are reverse engineering it, they wouldn't be purchasing 500.

there are some pictures of 136 and 022s.

basically saying that in the middle of November, SSF used more than 10 ships and planes to go through a realistic exercise using real troops, real missiles. The exercise were under extremely complex electronic environment and bad weather. This is to train new techniques, new doctrine, new cooperation. This will allow the combat capability to go up for the fleet.
Re: Missiles for 2208 catamaran FAC
I'm wondering, are the lids on those large missile structures stay closed normally, and would automatically opens up when they're firing the missile. Or they just take the lids off after they've installed the missiles? Keeping those lids on certainly helps its stealth ability but I don't see any automatic mechanisms would open/close those lids.

well, this is actually not the best photo, but another similar photo shows clearly what 022 is launching here.
