Just one brief view... Note the low-observable enclosed mast with integrated sensors and the very pronounced hull side-slope, along with the enclosed bow section...

I'm seeing a war coming up between China and India. The current transpass of Indian soldiers at China/Sikkim border was causing public fury in China. The people ask the government to respond with iron hands.

That is the joke of the day.... ...any time limits here?? that public has set up, my dear chinese troll...

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

And they have not disappointed.

Modi and Trump can bring a war to Asia and the world.

Sikkim/Bhutan etc. are of utmost importance to the Indian security for if they fall their north eastern regions may fall too!!! Yes, a very "interesting" development!!!! One thing is certain - an exponential rise in her defense spending, which might break the camel's back!!!!

No need to create a troll thread out of this.
Good looking ship... Congratulations.
Any idea on the armament?

Chinese navy outgunned Indian Navy a LONG time ago. the difference in defense spending is huge. I am surprised that the Chinese are actually comparing with India (their benchmark had been the US for a while now).

Just like Pakistan just needs to do enough to "deter" India, India just needs to do the same with China - and no need to match ship to ship or tonnage to tonnage.

the ship looks neat though.

The article I posted was written by an Indian media outlet. The Chinese rarely compare themselves to India, but India compares itself to China all the time, or at least they used to until a few years ago. It seems Indians suddenly stopped comparing India to China around 2013. I still don't know why they have stopped.

They realized the gap is just too big, so now their new tactic is saying they are only 10 years behind. But you and I know its bullshit.

India's comparison with China was more on economics than defense I assume? that too on the development path the Chinese had undertaken. thats something similar that India wants to replicate. How far it will be successful is anyones guess.

wasnt 2013 when they had a regime change as well?

the gap is not only too big, but also increasing. of course the pace of acceleration will only increase until India has the golden decades that China had. unfortunately, India always looked "poised" for those golden growth periods but never actually had them.

This time too - they look "poised". Lets see if they actually go through and have that sustained growth period.

and this is how you go to war with a country ? Funny though...your govt. perhaps lacks the gut to say that....since they are using excuse of a broken bridge...

Isn't all the bold part true for China and US equations?

Chinese Navy launches its biggest destroyer

The Chinese Navy on Wednesday launched its biggest new generation destroyer weighing 10,000 tonnes, as part of a massive expansion programme to become a global naval power, PTI reported. The destroyer is equipped with new air defence, anti-missile, anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons.

China will now carry out tests on the destroyer, including equipment operation, berthing and sailing.

China is building four such destroyers, the first of which was unveiled this morning at the Shanghai port, NDTV reported. The Type 055 destroyer is much larger and more powerful than India’s latest Project-15B “Visakhapatnam” class destroyers which have still not been commissioned. India’s newest destroyers will displace close to 8,200 tonnes when completely armed and are designed to carry nearly 50 missiles, while the Type 055 can carry 120 missiles.

Moreover, since March 2014, China has commissioned five Type 52D destroyers, which are thought to be similar in capability to India’s “Visakhapatnam” class warships. While India has planned seven such warships, China plans a fleet of at least 18.

The new destroyer is in addition to two aircraft carriers that China intends to deploy, which is being seen as them competing with the United States and India in the Indian Ocean. The Chinese Navy is currently trying to form battle groups of destroyers that accompany the aircraft carriers when they set out on faraway missions.
