Yuan Class AIP & Kilo Submarine Thread

This video has HI Sutton speaking about the Type 039 and other Chinese subs.

After all these years, we finally get a photo of the forward VLS hatches on the lone Type 032 missile test submarine.



P.S. I know this isn't a Yuan, but this is the only appropriate thread I can think of.

Has there ever been images of the Yuans firing anti ship missiles? Do we know which missiles they can fire?

Also, how would a submarine provide targeting for ashms typically? Is it through sonar?

One possibility for example would be or I imagine it could be: a very low frequency signal is sent, a simple letter meaning "there is a message", the submerged submarine deploys a small buoy to the surface and connects with the satellite network and receives the coordinates and the order to attack, and launches a missile for example currently a YJ-18.

I think sonar in general is probably the best way for a submarine to locate target for anti-ship missile. Although, I'm not a fan of submarines launching anti-ship missiles. They don't do enough damage to surface ships compared to torpedoes. They are also more likely to give away submarine location

You see the large utility tug in the distance.

But they could, OTOH, launch from a location well within the usual AAW alert radius. Though I still doubt the size of salvo would be enough.

Self-explanatory.

Self-explanatory.

uhh, could you explain?
