But can you blame that on the shipbuilding companies?

I was actually not the one who brought that up here, as I believe you were. My comments on this entire page have all been targeting another matter, which has been the government and their mismanagement.

There are those who believe that any government involvement automatically leads to mismanagement ...

What's under the wing of #122? It is clearly not either of the two types of AAMs carried by #116 and #119.

That's clearly an YJ-83K AShM.

Clearly ;-)

I thought already it was an antiship missile. Thx for 'clear'-ing that up.

not real one, just a flight training bomb

Interesting how small these look on J-15. It's just a big plane.

JF-17 by comparison

Clear picture of Yu8 torpedo carrier missile launched.

 

[Penguin]

Interesting. So, that may imply the standard loadout of a Type 054A on a typical mission is < 32 HQ16. How many Yu8 torpedo carrier missile normally carried?

Still looking for a home for this?

The Chinese Defense Ministry announced Tuesday the official opening of a naval logistics center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa.
BEIJING (Sputnik) — The ceremony of Chinese sailors embarking to the base in Djibouti was held in the Chinese southeastern city of Zhanjiang in Guangdong province, according to the website of the defense ministry. Around 10,000 personnel will reportedly be deployed in the center.

In February, 2016, China announced it was building a logistical facility in Djibouti. The naval logistics center was expected to provide Chinese patrol boats in the Gulf of Aden and other areas, to serve as refuel and restock site for Chinese vessels as well as to provide recreation facilities to sailors, according to the Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian.

Djibouti borders on Somalia and is located on the Horn of Africa, plagued by piracy. China has been actively participating in anti-piracy measures in the region, with reported 16,000 sailors and 1,300 marines serving in the Gulf of Aden between 2008 and 2015.

Next base will be Gwadar, if India touches our oil, we will screw up Indian oil from Saudi and gas from Qatar. Another base in Myanmar or Bangladesh will keep the Andaman base in check. Sri Lanka will be the checkmate move.
