Type 055 is designed to defend the whole battlegroup.How well can type 055 defend itself from anti ship missiles ?
Layered AA -- Long (HQ-9), Medium (HQ-16), Short (FM-3000N, quad-packed) and Point (HQ-10.) The first three in the HT-1 UVLS (HT-1E for exports!) HQ-10 is mounted on a separate system.
The average cell in the Chinese UVLS has three times (!!) the volume of the one in MK41 which allows very big and very long ranged missiles so an ABM is expected as well.
HT-1 AA systems are basically tested against MACH 3 and MACH 4 anti-ship missiles in PLAN's possession like the YJ-12, YJ-18 and CX-1 and also the Sunburn on the Sovremenny.
