Is this an experimental rail gun on Chinese ship

[TaiShang]

Imagine if US was kind with China in the pass and sell us some descent weapons, we would have being depend on US for weapon imports as Japan, Korea and China will have to listen to US, we will no chance to make such toys as J-20, J31, 055, rail gun, ASAT...Aircraft carrier, 095 sub which Americans wouldn't like to see its happen.

China would have a good chance of becoming yet another SP12, too.

Without meaningful manufacturing and logistics capability
With a military that depends on imports for critical platforms and systems
With those platforms and systems paid for with borrowed money as the current accounts give a deficit
With an inflated ego boasting about future tense (2012) and ignoring present reality
With foreign policy that is attached and subjugated to the US
With a government that even bows down in front of a dotard as Trump

Thank Buddha for not making the US a benign superpower to China. Thank Clinton for the 3rd Taiwan Straits Crisis. Thank Obama for the Pivot. Thank Dotard for trade wars.

I just want Kissinger's generation to die off. Kicks the can. Becomes total history.

Once they are totally gone, the US will be entirely a government by the dotards, of the dotards, for the dotards.

I come back to this thread, and still no one can explain why the US should invest huge amounts of money into EMR when we can get a similar capability with HVP, distribute it to over 1,000 powder guns, at a much faster pace and cheaper rate? Instead, their talking about Indians.

What is SP12's response to this?

We should thanks to American's arrogance in 80s and 90s that China gave up on any potential military cooperation and kill the dream of those pro-American general and scientist, without their arrogance, China would still begging US for military aid and assistance which allowed them to impose conditions to China, probably we will have to cede some territory like Japan and Korea to allow American to have military bases or worse they will impose restriction of our development such as NUKE, ICBM, nuclear Sub, anything that is a threat to US security or economy.

Drawing from the American's arrogance lesson, it's in China's interest to cooperate with Russia and never look down on Russia because they have some set back from Soviet collapse. With the progress we have made on science and technology will give us more credibility as worthy partner to Russians. In term of cooperation we're not asking Russia to share their core technology nor we will give them what is valuable to us but as a fair partner to undertake a join venture on something that both are comfortable and willing to share.

America is like an evil, attractive but very dangerous. At first you can get something from them, but in the end you will find you lose much more. The US control your officials, brainwash your people and kill your ambitious to challenge the order and unequal rules made by US. If we were too closed, we would lose our national future.
Luckily, thanks for its arrogance, we and Russia suffered much from this empire and got rid of its trap, and we are very happy not be friends or ally of US. That gives us REAL freedom and independence.

This railgun will be very suited if there is a need to bombard separatist forces in taiwan.

taiwan's geography is perfect for railgun.

not sure if the usa would have the requirement for shore bombardment haha.

USA still feels too overpowered for warfare.

billions of tax payers dollars wasted every year and the middle class suffers

The design of Type 055B DDG, which will have among others railgun as its main gun, is scheduled for completion in 2020.

Construction follows immediately.
