Taiwan: China developing 22000 ton Helicopter Carrier

[opkeyen]

According to Taiwan "Central News Agency"28 days to report, the mainland in the sea right disputes with its neighbours in the upper hand, are actively developing maritime strike force, which by the China Shipbuilding Industry Corp ( referred to as the CSIC ) launched a new22000tons large helicopter landing ship dock project caused widely attention, because it not only fits in disputed waters combat, also will impact the security. Taiwan even thought, such as the Japanese amphibious warship quasi carrier on cross-strait military strength effect than the liberation army is being developed by a new generation of stealth fighters and huge f -20.

081 performance comparable to Japanese quasi carrier

" Central News Agency " quotes Canada" Comments RSS" May report, the boat is versed in to launch amphibious dock landing ship a total length of 211 meters, with a full deck of the aircraft carrier is similar, can carry up to8 helicopters, a maximum speed of 23 knots, can carry1068 people,16day endurance for7000 miles.

As a result of a full load displacement of more than 25000 tons, making the ship 's buoyancy and stability are good, but in6conditions at the same time taking off and landing4large helicopter, one carrying 4ship Ukraine production of" bison" heavy hovercraft, the overall performance and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense queue." To the" level of helicopter carrier quite. In addition, Chinese modern amphibious warship weapon system is very high, with4730/1130 short-range anti-aircraft guns, ship stern also deployed two multi-purpose rocket launcher; at the same time also assembled a large 3D radar, a set of electronic warfare jamming system and two sets of anti-submarine weapon system.

The British" Jane's defense" think, the ship may be the legendary 081amphibious ship design. Chinese Navy expert Liu Jiangping at day 29 to accept a" Global Times" interview,081only in the International Defense Exhibition announced an export models, from China's reform and opening up30 years of experience, the PLA series with the main battle equipment are not export, and export are individually designed. For example, Chinese exports of Pakistan." '" fighters, the Chinese air force and was fitted out, the Navy and the army battle equipment also is such, so there is no direct evidence of continental Navy will be fitted out through the deck amphibious warship.

Completely change the Militar?

First issued continental amphibious landing ship model photo Taiwan" cutting-edge technology" magazine pointed out, if the type 081LPD is true, then it brings strategic change and shock even more than the last continent exposure annihilates the -20stealth fighter, because the people's Liberation Army for full deck amphibious craft service completely change landing battle mode, thereby" subversive" military balance in taiwan.

The analysis thinks,081with the people's Liberation Army existing type 071LPD is the biggest difference is that with the boat carrying amount more transport helicopters and helicopter gunships, thereby allowing the landing operations, the realization of three-dimensional, avoid their heavily fortified beachhead, directly to the troops and equipment investment to the enemy deep area, enemy defense weak flanks and rear mounted surprise, this is the essence of modern amphibious warfare.

Lead the Liberation Army amphibious transformation

Taiwan "Central News Agency" claims, mainland military modernization has made amazing achievements transformation, including" strategic transformation orientation" and" military science and technology orientation", the former strategic orientation from land to ocean, from the earth to the sky, the latter from small to large, from fixed to mobile. Military experts think, especially the latter, in order to meet the people's Liberation Army military strategic change, from the "flying ( machine ), potential (ship ), fast ( boat )" official to have higher, farther, faster, more accurate, more soundless and stirless military technology and equipment emerge as the times require.

Reported that, in the mainland type 071LPD appeared before, Liberation Army amphibious landing ship tank landing ship main remains, followed the traditional World War II landing operation mode. But in 2004the mainland display type 071dock landing ship model, operational mode for adjustment. " Central News Agency" quoted military experts as saying,081dock landing ship appears, can carry more helicopters and Marines landing operations personnel, more three-dimensional and intensive combat depth, the people's Liberation Army not only in" military substantially enhance the long-distance transportation capacity", can " meet maintenance disputes increasing Sea sovereignty need", more" fighting terrorism, piracy, humanitarian relief and protection of overseas citizens security related tasks, combat capability to the U. S. Army.".

Taiwan medias are at their best again: bullshiting

Taiwan should buy Bramhos. I mean all of Asean should buy Brahmos. I dont think there is a more effective anti ship weapon in the world today.

 

[Singh]

^^ China all ready has Brahmos like weapon in the form of Yakhont iirc

 

[Armand2REP]

That article is rather funny.

The Asean does not have enough ships. To undermine the numerical advantage of the Chinese, it is only wise to get enough of Brahmos batteries.

 

[Armand2REP]

If ASEAN acted as a whole, they could make it not worth China's while.

A few points not clarified in the article.

It is, as per the article, a helicopter LSD. \

It can carry 1068 personnel.. Given that there will be personnel to run the ship, the other personnel would be less than that of a battalion. Hence, what is its combat end result on shore? The only advantage is quicker induction with the helicopters.


Or maybe I have not understood the content of the article, it being possibly a Google translation.

Right, but they are bored to devote any resource in copying this kind of missile after checking it carefully.
China, same as US, chose subsonic cruise missile as their mainstream anti-ship missiles.

Tiawanese have there own supersonic ASHM call hsiung feng iii but with lower range and lower speed than PJ-10..

Analysts say the Hsiung Feng (Brave Wind) III missile, designed to cruise at a maximum speed of Mach 2.0, or twice the speed of sound, and with a range of up to 130 kilometres (80 miles), is difficult to defend against.

Though Taiwan have no thread from a LHD unless 2 fleets of PLAN are working in any kind of land invasion over Taiwan..

Taiwan deploys anti-China missiles: report

Taiwan has for the first time deployed cruise missiles capable of striking key military bases along the southeast coast of the Chinese mainland, local media reported on Monday.

Mass production of the Taiwan-made "Hsiungfeng" (Brave Wind) 2E, which have a range of 500 kilometres (300 miles), has been completed and the missiles have come into service, the Liberty Times said, citing an unnamed military source.

The defence ministry declined to comment on the report, but the paper said the project, codenamed "Chichun" (Lance Hawk), had cost the military around Tw$30 billion ($1.02 billion).

Taiwanese experts estimate that China's military, the People's Liberation Army, has more than 1,600 missiles aimed at the island.

"To some extent, the weaponry can serve as a deterrent," Kevin Cheng, the editor-in-chief of the Taipei-based Asia-Pacific Defense Magazine, told AFP.

"In case of war in the Taiwan Strait, the missiles could be used to attack the airports and other military bases of the People's Liberation Army."

He estimated that there were more than 100 of the Hsiungfeng 2E missiles pointing at China.

Song Jaw Wen, a member of a panel of experts invited by the military to screen Taiwan's 2011 National Defence Report, said it was the first time cruise missiles had been aimed at China.

Tensions across the Taiwan Strait have eased since Ma Ying-jeou of the China-friendly Kuomintang came to power in 2008 on a platform of beefing up trade links and allowing in more Chinese tourists.

Ma was re-elected in January for his second and last four-year term.

However, China still refuses to renounce the possible use of force against the island in its long-stated goal of re-taking Taiwan.

Interesting update..

I think you missed the funniest one... trying to fit the Bison Hovercraft into this LSD.

I read that.

I thought there was some error in the Google translation.

In fact, I was at sixes and sevens trying to understand what was intended!

Google generates BS for Chinese translations.

Report say China may build 3-6 Type 081 LHD's. This combined with China's recent territorial claims. Must be making a number of Asian Countries Nervous!
