According to Rick Joe, the rumors was started by a Taiwan-based news. That explained. 🤣

According to these images, the length of Type 075 is about 232m, using Liaoning's length as reference.

It could be a different pier, but the size of the building and the layout of the docks at Qingdao and Sanya are exactly the same. So it's hard to tell from only part of the satellite images, but it won't hurt for comparison.

Nice! Hope PLANS is changed to CNS. It probably won't happen until we see those ships parked in Taipei and Kaohsiung though. I cannot wait for that day! :china:

He probably meant 052DL Kaieng (hull number 124), which seemed to be commissioned earlier on 4/16.

Must be named after some province but won't be the important ones like Beijing or Shanghai. Guangdong will most likely be used on the 1st Type 003 (#18), so nearly impossible for an LHD either.

The old landing ship 072 III (#940) looks so small next to 075! :cheesy:

At least he's sure his talk won't be monitored like Merkel 🤣

IIRC the EMALS is longer than then steam catapults. So the flight deck will be more than 320m.

They are just desperate. 🤣

Believe it or not, J-20 is actually lighter than F-22. According to some Chinese military magazines the empty weight is only about 15 tons, thanks to the use of advanced materials like ceramic composites, new technologies like 3D printing, and the use of much more powerful forging machines, etc.

Not sure if this has been posted before (I am more interested in military equipment and usually only go to the Chinese Defense Forum), but here are the two reports from the Gray Zone, a more objective source, after their investigation...

The line under 'J-11D' reads 'Correction: should be new flying shark'.

According to official reports, the progress of WS-15 in late 2018 was comparable to the progress of WS-10 at 2001. Thus its design would be finalized at around 2022 and the mass production would be started in 2024-2025. This also verified the words from CAE academician, Liu Daxiang. In his...

Happy Chinese New Year to Deino and all the friends here! 🐂🐂🐂:cheers:

It may be for 004, but the bidding procedure could be just for something already in processing or even finished. That's not rare for many government purchases in China. Anyway, if 003 is not nuke powered, 004 must be!

Now Type 003 is more and more likely to be nuclear powered. :yahoo: 2.4. 交货期：合同签订后12个月之内完成系统验收,满足第一阶段使用条件；预计合同签订后约38个月进行最终负载(实船)验收。合同签订后2周内提供设备对土建的建设要求。 2.5. 交货地点：江南造船(集团)有限责任公司 上海市长兴岛长兴江南大道988号 也就是2020年7月的标书，签订合同后38个月实船最终负荷验收！

No radome is shown, So this might be the transporter/tanker variant. But what happened to the vertical stabilizer? Must be PS'ed. What to hide? Anyway, a nice CFD work. :cheers:

How about DF100? It's a long-range hypersonic cruise missile with a “near space” flight altitude, capable to hit a moving object more than a thousand kms away. And it's already in service with the PLA Rocket Force. I think it (or some variant) would be a good fit to the VLS on 055/052D...
