A Type 075 Amphibious Assault Ship joins China Navy’s Shandong aircraft carrier deployment in Western Pacific

[zhanlong]

For the first time since its commissioning, a Type 075 amphibious assault ship has joined the strike group of the Shandong aircraft carrier of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), which is currently active for exercises in the Western Pacific. This deployment marks a significant advancement by China in its naval power projection capabilities, as the group, complemented by a wide array of escorts, has considerable capabilities in terms of both quantity and flexibility for conducting long-range assaults.

According to an annual training plan prepared by the Chinese Navy, the strike group includes Type 055 and Type 052D destroyers, accompanied by a Type 901 replenishment ship. Notably, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force detected the Shandong-led group transiting through the South China Sea towards the Western Pacific between August 12 and 13, with the Type 075 ship spotted four days later en route to join the rest of the fleet.

Regarding the objectives of the deployment, Chinese experts consulted by local media have stated that the Navy aims to strengthen and test its systematic amphibious combat concept, with the goal of defending Chinese interests in the region. Similar actions on a smaller scale were undertaken in August, involving a Type 075 ship and a Type 052 destroyer in operations near Taiwan’s eastern coast, highlighting the utility of such platforms for conducting assaults in geographically complex areas for troop landings.

Elaborating on the aforementioned concept, the Chinese Navy has explained that it comprises several phases: the first phase involves J-15 fighters deployed from the Shandong aircraft carrier achieving air superiority over the operational area; the second phase includes attacking coastal positions using guided missiles launched by escort destroyers (which together can deploy over 416 missiles from their VLS cells); and finally, the deployment of Marine Corps personnel via boats and helicopters to secure the landing area.

Finally, regarding Type 075 ships, it should be noted that the Chinese Navy plans to build up to eight units, with three currently completed. The first of these, the Hainan 31, was commissioned in 2021, and its first operational deployment was observed in 2023. Each ship displaces a total of 40,000 tons, with a length of 250 meters and a width of 30 meters, featuring a deck capable of deploying a wide range of helicopters and a rear gate that allows for the deployment of amphibious vehicles and landing craft.

@NGAD IS THE BEST Do you think that China's current problems must be solved through war？

@NGAD IS THE BEST Do you think that China's current problems must be solved through war？

What problems? China hasn't warred with any country in the past 46 years. But, can you count the number of problems we solved in that period?

Peace by strength my friend.

In any major conflict with USA along with its vassal state like Japan and South Korea etc etc China has disadvantages because of its geographical setting (one single long coastline) which PLAN naval ships are in so in any major conflict with its enemies PLAN 's. Ships can easily be destroyed in South China Sea and China has no comparable long range anti-ship cruise missiles to stop firing USN/USAF stand off anti-ship cruise missiles like Tomahawk/JASSM-ER and LRASM etc etc

PLAN is always in numbers in SCS other than SCS PLAN Precence in other part of the world 's oceans and seas are very very limited like in Indian ocean And Pacific ocean

boy， You're off topic. I am asking whether China needs war to solve domestic problems.

I'm not asking you how the US aircraft carrier was sunk by the Houthis.

At least some of the ballistic missiles that China's People's Liberation Army fired into the South China Sea during an exercise earlier this year, which you can read about more in the War Zone's initial story on those drills, reportedly hit a moving target ship. If true, this would be the country's first known demonstration of an actual long-range anti-ship ballistic missile capability, which could significantly change the operational calculus for any potential opponent, including the United States, in the disputed maritime region and elsewhere in the Pacific.
The South China Morning Post reported last week that Wang Xiangsui, a retired People's Liberation Army (PLA) officer, had said that one DF-26B intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) and one DF-21D medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) had struck the target vessel as it sailed near the Paracel Island chain during the August exercise. Wang, who has been described as "well-connected" in the past, is best known as one of the co-authors of the 1999 book Unrestricted Warfare, which covered various asymmetric means to undermine and defeat countries that were technologically superior to China. It has become a highly influential text, and general concept, in national security circles.


"We launched the DF-21 and DF-26, and the missiles hit a vessel sailing south of the Paracel Islands," Wang said during a closed-door gathering in China's eastern Zhejiang province in October, according to the South China Morning Post. “Shortly after that, an American military attaché in Geneva, [Switzerland] complained and said it would lead to severe consequences if the missiles hit an American aircraft carrier. They see this as a show of force. But we are doing this because of their provocation."

Wang does not appear to have given any details about the target ship, its construction, how fast it might have been moving, or how the PLA may have cued the missiles their target.
It remains unclear exactly how many missiles the PLA fired during the exercise on Aug. 26. South China Morning Post's initial report had indicated that two weapons had been launched, one DF-26B and one DF-21D, from sites in China's northwestern Qinghai province and in Zhejiang, respectively.
I will not talk of DF21s or DF26s as that making you so uptight and I hate to induce constipation in you.
At least not at the very beginning.

Just run of the mill ShCMs that China got in abundance. That range far far beyond the range of America Harpoon and other associated crap

A lot more reach, and a lot more bang, and lots and lots of them too.
And all those will touch you before you even know that they are there, and way way before you can launch at China.

Chinese have about 3,000 of these kind of AShCMs.

In the form of Mach 3–4 YJ-12s carrying 400–500 semi shaped charge warheads, fired outside the AEGIS cover. The YJ-12 can also do evasive maneuvers to avoid anti-missile threats.

YJ-12 - Wikipedia

There is also the YJ-18 with reach exceeding Aegis cover. YJ-18 will start off at sub Mach 1. Until about 20 km from target , it will sprint at Mach 3–4 to deliver good news to the carrier .

China's YJ-18 Supersonic Anti-Ship Cruise Missile: America's Nightmare?

This Chinese description relates that the missile’s great strength is its “亚超结合的独特动力” [subsonic and supersonic combined unique propulsion]. Another term applied to this design is “双速制反舰导弹” [dual speed control ASCM]. As explained in the article, it is projected that YJ-18 would have an initial subsonic phase estimated at .8 Mach similar to the Klub of about 180km, but 20km from the target would unleash the supersonic sprint vehicle at speed of Mach 2.5 to 3. The “dual speed” function allows the system to realize certain advantages of subsonic cruise missiles, such as their “relatively long range, light weight and universality …” but also takes the chief advantage of supersonic ASCMs as well, namely the ability to “大幅压缩敌方的反应时间” [radically compress the enemy’s reaction time].

The Chinese article relates another advantage of the “dual speed” approach. Just as the missile comes into contact with the ship’s defenses, it “sheds the medium stage …,” thus simultaneously and dramatically altering both its speed and also its radar reflection, “which would impact the fire control calculation.” The likelihood that YJ-18 improves upon the Klub missile’s “digitization, automation, as well as providing more intelligent flight control and navigation technology” is attributed in the Chinese article to a recent Jane’s report.

EVEN I NEVER SAID CHINA WILL SINK THE CBGs

WHO THE FCCK CARE ABOUT SINKING CBGs

WHEN THE SHIPS AND CARRIERS ARE BURNING FROM END TO END,
FROM THE FUEL ON BOARD AND ORDNANCE ON BOARD , AND THE PAINT
AND THE FLESH AND FAT AND OIL OF American MEN AND WOMEN

THEY ALL CAN REMAIN AFLOAT FOREVER TO GIVE SOLACE TO America AND THEIR RUNNING DOGGIES AND BROWN NOSERS THAT NONE OF THEM SUNK AT ALL



Any time USA want to tango, China will tango with USA

A hit from Chinese AShCM will be sufficient for it to be over for any USA carrier.

CHINESE AShCM CARRY EVEN MORE BANG AND HELLFIRE THAN THAT RUSSIAN P-800.
AND EXPECT AT LEAST 100 MISSILES BE HITTING THAT CARRIER, AND AT LEAST 10 TO EACH OF THE BURKES AND TICOS

https://twitter.com/x/status/1081840647965822977

Estimated China got 3000++ of AShCMs

But it is more likely Chinese be firing 100 such missiles at single USA carrier.


No shit about bulkheads and spaces to contain the hellfire that will likely engulf the entire carrier.
WHEN ENTIRE SHIP CANNOT CONTAIN THE HELLFIRE, DONT TALK CRAP THAT BULKHEADS AND SPACES CAN CONTAIN THAT KIND OF HELLFIRE


And not just the warhead, there will be 2–3 tons of missiles coming behind the warhead at Mach 3 tearing into the bulkheads and ordnance and aviation fuel and the poor men and women in the carrier. Those 2–3 tons of missile body will be tearing in the bulkheads faster and more deadly then APFSDS. Andf carrying its own unburned fuel to add to the fun.
Even steel will burn when hit with hell fire and tons of steel and debris coming in at Mach 3. The aviation fuel, and paint on walls, the bombs and ordnance will all cook off and add to the huge huge fire inside the carrier. Regardless if carrier under Condition Zebra or Donkey or Jackass.
The brave sailors in those carriers will not care or worry and be happy that their carrier not sinking. And only burning and burning from one end to the other end


USA need not worry too much of DF26s DF21s any more.

Or even of the 3000++ AShCMs of China, including many Mach3s


As long as USA carriers and Burkes and Ticos stay out of 2nd Island Chain, they will remain safe.

Meet the latest.

This baby is call the YJ-21 , 鹰击-21 or Eagle Strike 21


https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/04/yj-21-chinas-new-anti-ship-missile-will-make-the-navy-sweat/



AND OF COURSE, EXPECT 300+++ DF21s and DF26s that be raining down from directly over head at Mach 10
