[TYPE 076] CHINA WILL START BUILDING 60,000 TONNES LHA UCAV-CARRIER with EMALS CATAPULT THIS YEAR

[Daniel808]

Over the past several month, some well known sources like @yankeesama的帧察小队 and @POP3 has indicated that PLAN plan to build a new type of Amphibious Assault Ship which operate the UAVs instead of the SVTOL like F-35B. In 29th July, POP3 said PLAN is going to build a new LHA ship - Type 076 with 60,000 Tonnes tonnage. (http://www.top81cn.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1182182&extra=page=1&page=1&m=2)

Seven documents about XX6 (076?) program already been posted on the official platform of Procurement bidding for PLA:

This is the Bidding Announcement of 60,000 Tonnes Type 076 LHA-UCAV Carrier (So This is Official)

Interesting points :

CTS EMALS Catapult

21 MW Gas Turbine

Inboard Elevators

MVDC


They are using MVDC (Direct Current) that's mean China's EMALS Technology is much superior than US MVAC (Alternative Current) EMALS.

This is the Rendering Design of China New Type 076 LHA-UCAV Carrier

One of the UCAV, will be an Enlarged Version of GJ-11 Drone

The source in China mentioned that Type-076 will be one hell of a LHA.

The ship will has a displacement of over 60,000 or more tonnes, the largest LHA in the world, even larger than most CVs saved for the super carriers.

And the LHA will equip with EMALS and all advanced UCAVs, very exciting development.

According to the sources, the arrival of Type-076 will not stop the production of Type-071 and Type-075, or future Chinese super carriers, basically we want them all

Its one hottest topic in China's military BBS forum now

The other hot topic around China now is the confirmation from some reliable sources that China has two stealth bombers projects running at rapid progress, one supersonic and one subsonic

So China's Navy Strategy in the near future is to surge and scramble many All kind of Aircraft Carriers (like Type 075 LHD, Type 076 LHA-UCAV Carrier, Type 001 & 002 Aircraft Carrier, and Type 003 & 004 Super Carrier) to the Hotspot Zone anywhere on Earth

Interesting

No ppt, no fancy comercial, just dang.

PS:It is indeed real but don't overhyped, we are not from certain nation.

 

[Armchair]

Pakistan needs a UCAV carrier, but perhaps a smaller one, in the 10,000 tons class.

Definetly, they are not Indians

With Beidou Navigation System Covering Entire Earth, Gaofen High-Definition Imaging Satellite Network, and now 60,000 Tonnes LHA-UCAV Carrier.
China can attack any country anywhere on Earth with UCAV Massive Fleet Attack easily

The military gap between the US and China shrinks everyday ... meanwhile the gap with India increases everyday lol. Its ok, having China approach as an equal competitor would mean the US MIC can finally get their crap together and start innovating much faster just like during the heyday of the Cold War. You don't get worried in a race until you see your competition is in the rear view mirror. As for India, I'm not sure what they're gonna do.

This project also means we are not just another blind follower of the US,this is something that I am more happy to see.

 

[Liaslia]

Chinese military will scare U.S military also

Not only that.
What I amaze from China is, their Military Complex Industrial Capacity is so Crazy. It's like they are preparing war with alien lol


At this moment They are building :
Type 071 LPD, Type 075 LHD, Type 076 LHA-UCAV Carrier, Type 003 Super Carrier, Type 004 Super Carrier, Type 056A Corvette, Type 054A Frigate, Type 054B Next-Gen Heavy Frigate, Type 052D Destroyer, Type 055 Cruiser, and many other kind of Combat Ships..

Crazy

In fact, China never saw India as an opponent, at first we see Japan as an opponent, and the ttime we surpassed Japan, US is the only opponent in our eyes, but only as opponent,not as enemy, because we really really have no interest in hegemonism as us do.
Although this sounds a bit cruel to our Indian friend in PDF,but this is the fact.

That is impressive, a UCAV carrier of that size will open up new options and tactics.

 

[atan651]

I suppose a UCAV carrier is easier and cheaper to build than a regular carrier. If so China can then crank out more of these babies at a faster rate.

 

[Daniel808]

That is impressive, a UCAV carrier of that size will open up new options and tactics.

With that size, this is definetly a CVL not LHA

 

[obj 705A]

I know I said "I won't comment on the type 076 for as long as possible" but apparently that "as long as possible" only lasted few hours, I think one day this ship is gonna get me banned.

Any way frankly I think those who say this giant ship won't be able to operate manned fighter aircrafts have sh*t for brains, it will be equall in size or larger than the America class and it will have superior catapults, why the F wouldn't it be able to operate fighters!
Heck if I'm not mistaken it's gonna be even larger than the Charles De Gaul aircraft carrier.

Chinese GDP was almost equivalent to India's current GDP just 12-13 years back.
And your are talking about USA? They have almost all these fancy stuff which you trying to glorify here since decades.
As India's GDP grows, our military spending will increase automatically. So you are not gonna become something that India cannot stop. Just wake up from your dream.
