China will build the world largest Landing Assault Ships

[Kunal Biswas]

It was Electronic counter counter measure suit, And its a JV product..

Dont think about 500km now, first find out how to counter 290km one..

Electronic Counter Counter Measures won't do you any good as using a lot acronyms, hahah, and believe me Russian and US won't sell you their ESPS (do you know what this Acronym stands for?) but with this being said, airborne Brahmos is still the best way out for this missile.

I can find this in wikipedia, What is the Strategic implication of such a force is it practical sence or theory based..

No not really. Look at the entire system, not the only the platform. The correct question would be where does such a ship fit in within the PLAN's needs?

1. Amphibious capability: Right now, China's massive amphibious force currently consists of mostly LST's, which while being excellent force multipliers for the frontline Type 071 LPD's, don't have the legs to support operations more than 1000nm away from Chinese waters. Thus their role in reality ends with providing amphibious cover for China's many Islands and maritime territories (including Taiwan).

Considered in conjunction with the 28000ton full load Type 071 LPD's, such a force would provide a significant amphibious spearhead, providing a springboard from which thousands of PLAMC(People's Liberation Army Marine Corps) marines could be inserted into any theater within the Pacific and Indian Ocean. A task force of 1 circa 40000ton LHD and 2 28000 ton 071's could conceivably land and support more or less 2000 troops.

2. Humanitarian needs: A ship capable of operating and supporting 38 helicopters as well as landing craft/hovercraft anywhere along China's coast would be a massive humanitarian aid boost considering flood happy Pacific weather as well as the need to provide humanitarian aid to foreign countries within the Pacific and beyond.

3. ASW capability: Large LHD's are also massive ASW assets inherent of their ability to base large numbers of ASW helicopters which in turn, can clear a large area of unwanted submarines to open the way for other operations.

With this platform, the PLAN would have all the necessary components for far ocean amphibious operations as demonstrated by the ongoing Anglo-French Corsican Lion amphibious drills. An aircraft carrier, LHD's, multiple ocean going LPD's, ASW escorts, SSN escort, capable at sea replenishment support, area air defense destroyers for long range aircover and capable high speed ship-to-shore connectors(large carriage, long-range hovercraft).

But lets wait and see what the PLAN eventually commissions, or at least for a shipyard launch...

Following your logic, then WASP and Mistral class ships are all obsolete. And India should stop building ACs.
What is common for all those ships? Yes , they have escorts.

It wont hurt try to think first before you post something.....

your escorts will land too ??

Please apply your mind before posting.

 

[ice berg]

Explain first why escort ships have to land.

First time I hear that fleet escorts have to land alongside LHAs.

 

[p2prada]

LHAs and LPDs are expeditionary vessels. Australia must be very scared now.

 

[ice berg]

Those assets are not meant for Australia......

And with 12 new subs, Australia can defend her-self just fine. (2020-2030)

Hmm, the Australians are paranoid about everybody attacking them, right from Indonesia, to New Zealand to Tasmania. So, a Chinese expeditionary force will give them pneumonia, jaundice, HIV, you name it.

we don't have jaundice in China.

It is a tropical disease.

Jaundice is a symptom of several diseases.
