A Chinese answer to the BrahMos-II?

A Chinese answer to the BrahMos-II?

As reported, this Mach 7 hypersonic system completed tests in 2009. Where was BrahMos-II then or even now?

Hello, a question. Are there any plans to combine the Type 1130 and FL-3000 CIWS systems in the same platform (a la Kashtan)? I am aware of LD-2000 project, but have no idea whether it uses the same missile (Ty-90) or not.

Moreover, regarding the placement conventions. It seems like PLAN is configuring major combatants to field 2 CIWS systems, one cannon and one missile based. Assuming that FL-3000 has 300° coverage and 1130 around 270°, a combo system would probably offer the best of both worlds from all defensive aspects. Something that I was wondering about though is whether an upgrade like this would work for the forward CIWS position, given the small distance to the superstructure behind the launcher (gas expansion?).

Any thoughts?

A translation for this? I recognize both 3(?) 075 LHDs and a reference to the 054b frigate program.
