The 052D-class guided missile destroyer is positioned as a "multi-purpose destroyers, drainage will be more than 10,000 tons full load. However, to avoid being involved in the guided missile cruiser "concept within the context of its full-load displacement, it may be limited to less than 9800 tons. The newest destroyer, will be launching within the next year or two. Its main operational tasks will be similar to the U.S. Aegis destroyers, and improve the role of the aircraft carrier battle groups 2-3 defensive circle. Some of the U.S. Navy experts say, the idea of "‹"‹this China's own design of new warships and performance design is indeed unexpected.

The large surface warships responsible for aircraft carrier battle groups as a major air and missile defense mission, 052D missile destroyer against enemy missiles is the most important one performance. According to the European "defense experts" magazine, RUB6000 smoke particles jamming system is installed on the new 052D-class guided missile destroyer, the latest data indicate that this is a self-developed products in China, the Chinese navy designed to deal with similar U.S. laser-guided "precision strike" a powerful weapon. "

052D missile destroyer, the Chinese navy in the future may still be a lack of early warning aircraft carrier, you may need a better performance of the long-range surveillance radar, so the 052D may be with the European air defense destroyer, the use of remote phased array surveillance radar to replace the existing meter wave range surveillance radar, in order to better support the use of phased array multifunction radar. the In addition, 052C as an air defense ship, its inadequacies Beitan too little, it uses two of the 6 vertical launch systems, each with six firing units, a total of Beitan 48, less than half of them ("Aegis" destroyers of the U.S. Aegis destroyers Beitan to 100). In air defense operations, in order to improve the intercept probability of success, often fired two missiles to intercept a target, which means that the 052C ship can only intercept 24 air targets, while the modern fighter a mounted four air-to-ship missile is not so difficult Therefore, this indicator is difficult to play the performance of the phased array air defense system.

the foreign scholars predict that the ship will use the 64-cell vertical launch system. Missile vertical launching unit 24, equipped with a Type 052C destroyers on the HQ-9 air defense missile; plus 40 units of the vertical universal launcher, equipped with the 054A frigate on the "Red Flag 16"³ anti-aircraft missiles and anti-submarine missile. "red flag -9"³ as China's most advanced third-generation air defense missile system, equipped with active homing warhead, with a maximum range of 200 km, the largest radio 30 km. "Red flag -9"³ greatly improve the overall air and missile defense strength of the Chinese army, which not only the ability to remotely against the invasion of high-altitude aircraft, and ground missiles capable of intercepting low altitude cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles."Red Flag 16"³ belong to the medium-range air defense missile system, the PLA Navy equipment, domestic short-range area air defense missile. Mainly to carry out remote "red flag -9"³, the SA-N-6 and short-range point air defense of the "Red Flag -7 regional air defense missions, at the same time as the destruction performance of the low-altitude targets less" red flag -9 powerful supplement.such a 052D missile destroyer will have air defense missile system composed of multi-model system, a far, close, high school at low altitude, the complementary advantages network of fire can be quickly formed within ten seconds, greatly enhance the carrier-based air defense the combat effectiveness of the system.

In addition, from a performance point of view alone, the HQ-9 air defense missile derived from the Russian S-300PMU1 / 2 anti-aircraft missiles, although performance has improved, but compared with the U.S. Aegis combat system should be there are still some gaps, but to neighboring countries currently faced by the Chinese mainland in terms of the 052D-class guided missile destroyers, anti-aircraft fire has more than enough.However, the 052D-class guided missile destroyer installed China's homegrown the RUB smoke particles interfere with the system, within 5 seconds, the rapid formation of a 30 km wide particle fog blind, blocking communications, including GPS command guidance system can effectively deal similar to the U.S. laser-guided "precision strike missiles, which make up the performance disadvantages of anti-aircraft missiles.

052D will be "anti-submarine" in an important position up to consider the 052C destroyer hull space is relatively limited, may only be equipped with a hull sonar. especially in dealing with the modern submarine nuclear submarine when the capacity is relatively insufficient, 052D missile destroyer will be the introduction of towed line array sonar in order to improve the ability to detect submarines, and through the data link airborne and shipboard sonar, signal / data processing systems to link up automatic underwater target detection, identification, tracking, positioning and attack. Zhefan comparison, China is to catch up with the United States to lead the destroyer design trends, its design is the most representative of the famous "Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers, with China in all aspects of technology are constantly mature

The media said China will build the 052D type destroyer similar to the U.S. Aegis destroyers | Inside China

052D class is only 1000 tons more than 052c class, and the 10,000 tons one mentioned here is rumored as 055 class. The project no. 055 was once used to name the destroyer developed in 1970s~1980s but was proved to be totally a failed try caused by lacking of both technology and finance. Now the project no. is simply reused.

This must be amateur artist impression... it has no smoke stacks or EW radar.
Maybe the Chinese have designed a smokeless propulsion system and the whole ship is an EW radar? ;)

They are great innovators!
