GRAPHICAL MAPPING OF THE PLA NAVY SURFACE COMBATANTS

DDG / FFG / Aircraft Carrier / LHD / LPD / Corvette

This is excellent work from the Institute for Security Policy in Kiel (@ISPK_org), Germany. If you have an eye for detail, you will see, for example, that the aircraft carrier designations are correct (Type 002), still not the rule for Western think tanks and universities. Definitely a reference graphic for PLA Navy.

Note! The OP is complaining that PLA Navy no longer publicizes the admission or commissioning of its warship to the China Watchers! :)

Side note (there's always one): Ship names should always be used with caution before visual confirmation. Lately, PLAN doesn't even announce when a new ship is put into service. The transparency is practically zero.

IF you want to control the sky,you have to control the outer space & ECM first。
See the posts of you guys, I feel compelled to jump in...

still about sky... how about the aircraft themselves? Do they really have true values? Are they imperative or not?

Between quantity and quality, which one is more decisive? And why?

An industrial country that has a batter outerspace-capacity usually means it has a batter combat system and a batter technology&arms...it means that: 1.This country is hard to be defeated by another industrial country 2. A agricultural country will has no chance to defeat such an industrial country no matter how many advanced arms it had bought beforce.

Four of the eight YJ-12 supersonic anti-ship missiles installed on destroyer 136 Hangzhou after the upgrade program carried out in China.

This is one of the four Type 956E/EM destroyers purchased from Russia in the 1990s.

Note: The four Sovremenny class destroyers were delivered in late 1999 (Hangzhou #136), early 2000, late 2005, and in 2006, all the ships were built in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation.
