I believe if you go to 'Wiki' you will see some information regarding the costs of some of China's surface combatants. Whether the info is correct, is another matter. Regarding exports, i can't see the Chinese ever selling their premium warships, to foreign customers, particularly the...

Don't forget the last few 054A's have had some considerable upgrades, since the earlier ships of the class. I think though, we are nearing the end of the 054A class anyway, and in the second half of this decade we will see the start of the construction of the next class, ie 054B or 057...

I was just about to comment on this myself................no way is the UK a distant 4th in capability to the French, and sure by 2020 onwards, even with a small fleet, will be the most capable in Europe! :p:

oops.............yes you are right! :suicide:

Thanks.:-):enjoy:

Are you sure this is an 054A.........doesn't look like one to me, looks like a ship constructed for export? Chinese vessels don't have this type of pennant number! :-)

Are these 'Zubr' class LCAC allocated to any one particular Chinese fleet, or spread out amongst all the Chinese fleets, or are they in their own group!.......and how many of these craft are expected to be made?...........thanks :sniper:

You guys are so funny!..........I do enjoy reading your posts.......:omghaha:...but seriously are any of you genuinely ex-military men or have worked for defence companies?

This thing about 'stealth' is ridiculous...........i've no doubt that it has its merits, and that it makes it a lot harder to detect an incoming threat...........but its no cloaking device is it? I'am sure that nations such as the US and China wouldnt actively pursue military stealth programs...

Has the first 052D Kunming.........yet been in exercises firing its weapons?...........i'am sure the Chinese Navy are very keen to try out their multi-weapon VLS system. ps: why is it that every time 'Kunming' is photogtaphed, its always at angles that the light shows off the weld lines of the...

Exactly...........but its surprising how many people think a nuclear war wouldn't affect them personally!

This thing about nuclear weapons is absurd.................people don't seem to understand the effect that today's nuclear weapons would have on the world...........remember today's weapons are greatly more destructive than the weapons used in WW2. i.e. If the US were to fire a large number of...

You must have good eyesight 'cirr' coz i cant make out much in this fuzzy wuzzy photo! :haha: :confused: Mind you its good to know that progress is going on well with the new '071A' at HD. Am i correct in assuming that a further 2 071A's will be built, and if so will they be built one after...

Some excellent recent posts from members here, i particularly liked the updated photos from 'JN' shipyard. :-)

In the photos above, there are 4 poles on the rear hanger deckhouse in a line, and one pole amidships................can anyone speculate to as what type of antennas these are?........or are they something else?

Strange.....that the Aussies, have bought the F-35.........as a few years ago, when they were assessing whether the F-35 would be any good for them, and having set up simulation tests of the F-35 vs Russian and Chinese jets..........they found out that in a combat scenario the F-35's would be...

Very close...........that's all i'll say! :-)

Cambridgeshire! :-) ........oops....ok bro? :cheers:

Good pictures again 'cirr' :-), but yet again you dont tell us which number in production run of 056 and 054A, these vessels are :hitwall:. I've just come back from holiday........and it dissapoints me that members here have not provided any new news on the Chinese Navy. :(......you are all...

Good picture 'cirr'...............'JN' are sure producing the 052D's at an impressive rate!..........if only we could get a more head on view of the hallway, to see how far along build of this vessel is!
