Indian Navy Outgunned As China Launches Its Biggest Destroyer

[Army research]

Range of its radar ?

Finally, a Chinese major warship that Indian Navy has no equivalent. 055 trumps anything Indian Navy can throw.
I know Indian will use a drawing board cruiser to try compete with a newly launched 055 warship.

Congratulations China on this impressive ship.
The title is sensational,IN has enough firepower and geographical advantage in the IOR that one ship class won't change anything.IN will remain the premier force in IOR,occasional chinese visits notwithstanding.No naval armada, can enter from the east if IN resists in force with andaman as its lynchpin.This ship will be the forefront the china's showdown with the USN in SCS .

Self delusion. PLAN can enter IO at will and sink any IN warship whenever China likes. We have powerful warship like 055 while IN has nothing to match.

Enjoy the moment, but there is no need to bring them in.

There is such need. You already see the delusion reply of those weeping from other thread. Its good to rub salt in their wound to help them wake up. Without pain, without gain. We are helping the Indians

whats all the fuss about??
if india can make an aircraft carrier, sure we can make a bigger destroyer too, with better established armments..
Does china have anything of barak-8 class??

the area of contesting of the respective navies is different.
our main adversary is Pakistan alone as of now. Pak do not possess anything similar to p-17A

Where as for china compare yourself with south Korean destroyers first, no need to compare with american

Both countries made respective destroyers according to threat environment...


congrats to chinese for making a ship with massive fire power( almost double of p-17A )

If you have read much about Chinese armaments, you may want to remove/replace this from your post?

That is a big change of stance for Indians [Read sour grapes]. All along we hear that how small of a potato Pakistan is is and our real competition is with China and now this. I like the change!

Range of its radar ?

There are several sets of radars on this ship:

The L-band anti-stealth volume search radar has 1000+ km range depending on target type.

The dual-band (S and C) AESA flat array mounted on the forecastle has 400+ km range.

The range for the X-band array mounted on the integrated mast is classified, but it is capable of ballistic missile detection, tracking, and terminal illumination.

Waiting to read comments by Indian readers. It may provide a window to peek their mentality as a whole.

why is large automatically better ? battleships would dominate the seas instead of destroyers and frigates.
size matters in naval warfare. but if you are too big you are a sitting duck

Well, larger is not necessarily better, but in this case, the Chinese destroyer carries more than twice the amount of Vertical Launch Tubes than anything India has on the drawing board. The larger size also means far better endurance, more space for advanced sensors, etc.

This new Chinese ship is 10000 tons empty and 12000+ tons fully loaded, which is 4500 tons more than anything India has. In fact, the Chinese ship is larger than the American Tico CRUISERS. The Chinese really should call this ship a cruiser.

It might help fighting Cambodia or Philippines. It is a large target when you fight a modern navy

So you are saying China shouldn't worry about the Indian navy then?

It is the most ridiculous comment i ever heard. But it is normal when this comes from an indian.
According to your logic, US navy should retire all the aircraft carriers ,cause they are too big .

He's right in a way though. You can't sink a ship that doesn't exist. India has a lot of proposed projects and phantom ships. On paper, the Indian navy is possibly the second most power in the world.

So beautilful. Now it is time to built a new large frigate with the full displacement of 5000~6000 ton for the role of ASW and medium AAW.
No more 052C/D should be built. It is low cost-efficient to install advanced AESA on a 7000 ton hull.

052C production has stopped at six hulls.

052D might stop at 18 hulls, or maybe not. I read somewhere that 24 was envisioned.

055 will have at least 12 hulls. Four are under construction right now. I also read that 055 will have several iterations. The second batch should have electric propulsion. Further into the future, there might even be a cruiser version closer to 200 meters in length.
