Type 052D DDG News & Discussions

I think PN will acquire it after 2020, but don't worry, after 2020, it will still be a very advanced destroyer, but in addition with cheaper price and improved/more mature technologies.

IN is expending at very high speed and with very advance tech, therefore PN needs advance air defense ships which can neutralize IN advantage having air arm and advance long range supersonic missiles in numbers. These ships will also be force multipliers because when they are used with current fleet PN have, PN can still avoid blockade of Pakistan's sea lines and ports.

Can someone post comparison of these ships with other ships of this class?
 
I doubt PN has the financial means to acquire this destroyer. They are very expensive in unit per price and maintenance.

These destroyer are revolution in terms of its AESA radar and VLS system plus the main gun. The VLS system is able to fire many types of missiles. Meaning you have plenty of option when deploying these ships. When you are on air defense mission. You can pack all of them with long range air defense missile. While if you are on bombardment attack. LACM will be pack all in. Sometime which is technology out of reach of IN capabilities. Their INS kolkata VLS is fixed meaning not flexible and limited in types of missile loaded onboard.

We need:

12 type 052D and 30 type 055.
25 type 057.
30 type 056.

China would have a surface fleet as powerful as the US then.:D

I think that this looks like a good level for China to aim for as the Chinese would not require a much more powerful Navy than the US to safeguard their interests around the world.

US has an empire military.

So we don't need to have an empire military, we just need a very powerful military to keep the Yankees in check.
 
GOOD GOOD!!! They need to pump out these beast as fast as possible. The world situation is changing rapidly. PLAN has quickly acquire these powerful offensive asset to project its overseas strike firepower.

H-9K, Type052D and CV-16 will allow PLA armed forces for the first time able to project offensive fire power with LACM and precision strike ammo few thousands kilometres away from home soil.

We have a military to keep China from expanding its border to conquer other countries. Everybody knows that. Even amongst the Asian nations that are afraid of it. Cause they know China is hungry.

Exactly........China doesnt need a Navy the size of the US to be powerful.............remember the US is surrounded by 2 massive oceans............and they could never send the vast majority of their warships into a conflict, as it would leave themselves exposed.
Exposed to what?..............a possible invasion from Mexico or Canada!.........haha.

Anyway, as China is now entering the next stage of its military modenization, and that means we should be seeing some very large ticket items being built, and that means carriers, amphibious ships, and or course the Type 055 Destroyer.

You don't even make sense. History has shown the need for a powerful navy especially considering 70 percent of the planet is mostly water. You think you don't need a navy the size of ours or reaching out over the horizon beyond the Pacific? Then please explain why China is sending ships to deal with anti-piracy operations in the Indian Ocean even though it has nothing to do with them?
