What's new

The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th 052C's

well...no one can be sure of a project unless it actually reveal it self. Randomly leaked rumors are no justifications a claimed "truth". Plus, we don't want the Japs and US to know about PLAN's little plans right?:azn::china:

Even if there were no articles written on the Type 052D it is expectable that the next generation destroyers will be the Type 052D.

The Type 052 indicates that it uses a certain type of engine, while the letters indicate different models.

Hehe, are u certain that the new DDG is still going to be powered by 2 Ukraine GT25000? Instead of QC-280 or 4 LM2500 class/WS10? :azn:

Type 052C uses Ukrainian DN80 or German 1163TB83 CODOG (gas-diesel) engines, and I don't see any deviation from that.

The Type 052D will most likely also use CODOG engines (since the Type 052 name implies that).

eh... First of all, when u say "Ukrainian DN80 OR German 1163TB83 CODOG" it's suppose to be "Ukrainian DN80 AND German 1163TB83 CODOG" Because CODOG refers to the combination of both diesel and gas turbine.

Secondly, if the claimed "052D" does appear as the rumors (increased VLS silos, bigger tonnage), I highly doubt PLAN is going to stick with the Ukrainian turbines. Which means it will not be called 052D any more.
 
. . . . . .
China should aim to have the world's largest or second largest navy by 2025. I think it is good if the number of ships that China has is 4 or 5 times more than the total number of ships that all four India, Taiwan, Japan and South Korean navy has.

No need to make threat.

We just need be strong enough to protect our coast, get taiwan reunited with mainland and protect our oil routes.

Type 052D will be a long-range air defense destroyer. Chinese turbines will not have much edge over the proven Ukrainian and German ones.

It's not safe to put a Chinese engine on a ship that's designed for long range.

Proven technology is a safer bet.

The "D" designation does not depend on the specific engine model. Only the "Type 052" designation depends on the combination of gas/diesel turbines.

Development of indigenous engines for aircraft is progressing steadily in China, however engine for ships are still not good. When will China make reliable engines for naval ships?:frown:

Building the Aegis equivalent class is a very complex system, now China has showed its capability as the second nation on Earth of being able to independently build the Aegis defence systems after USA.



052C is advanced. But 052D will be much more advanced.

It will be a true equal to the AGEIS.

1. Much heavier around 10,500 tons 3000 tons heavier than 052C.

2. Many more SAMs around 98 of them compare to 052C's 48.

3. Much more advanced anti sub weapon systems include advance towed decoy and sonar.

4. Much more advanced radar system comparable to the AGEIS's SYP-2!!!!!

5. Even stealther designs!

052D will be vastly superior than 052C to a level that it should be renamed!!

The current 052C is using the Chinese engine.

China is working on nuclear reactor for Super CVN, now that is a real challenge.
