None of these ships are armed with those missiles you mentioned. DF-100 is land based and truck mounted, so is DF-17. DF-17 is definitely too big to be launched from ships. DF-100 maybe able to fit on 055 but I doubt it, but definitely not 052D, as its VL tubes are too small for that.

8x12 = 96 launch tubes, and at least 96 warheads. That's enough to put any country in paralyze if not decimated. I guess when China has 20 or...
So what's the guestimate on the total number of 094 now? Based on open sourced data there were already 6 in service, so this makes it 7 now?
I know it's entirely possible that China hides some extra ones that the public doesn't know, and my question is only for the number based on what the...
It's interesting that no one commented on the significance of this photo is the new WS-20 high-pass turbofan engines on this plane. This is a very significant achievement in the continued development of the Y20 production! What this means is that China finally got the new high-pass turbofan...
