Would really appreciate If someone could inform about this new Chinese submarine

Looks like they are testing MS-200, an export-oriented small sub for littoral/SOF warfare, first revealed in Bangkok 2017.Anyone have any idea about this new submarine design ... ???

Yes, I know China is building 096s, and the photos of new huge sub assembly line buildings a couple of years ago clearly indicated that a ramped up production rate than 094 is likely. This is the right thing to do - have absolutely power to wipe any country off the planet a couple of times, is the only equilibrium to balance out the war mongering country of you know who, as well as all their other lapdogs, to even contemplating the idea of starting a war with China.
Well said! But no worry, PLARF already has no less than 294 megatons of thermonuclear firepower decades ago, enough to annihilate all enemy countries, by now I guess PLARF stockpile should be close to 700~800 megatons with induction of DF-5B, 31AG, 41 & CJ-100 etc.ASW attack subs like the next gen 095 and ASW planes
That will depend on your mission configuration. But given the size of Yuan, I am not surprised if it can carry 24 torpedoes.How many anti ship missiles can the Yuan class submarine carry?

Indeed. While the 039 Yuan is really big (3600 tons, second only to Sōryū class), these smaller subs could be useful in shallow waters or archipelago. Also less demanding on manpower, say the smallest MS-200, displacing 200 tons with two torpedo tubes, it only needs 6 crew to operate, and can carry 8 SOF commando.These would be a perfect choice for Bangladesh Navy for patrolling its shallow bay of bengal territorial waters.

For the MS-200, there are two torpedo tubes, and four on S-600. I believe these two subs can fire light weight torpedo, but not BM or CM. They are for missions like recon, surveillance, special op infiltration, patrol.Since they are cheaper and smaller, a whole swarm of them could be deployed at once. Would be nightmare for any enemy to try track down all those subs.
What kind of armament is availible on these midget subs? Any cruise missiles? AsBM or LACMs?
Yes it is. The new sub designs are highly automatic, even the biggest S-1100 only takes 18 crew to operate, very human resources friendly.A mixture of MS200 and S-1100 would be excellent. For BD lets say 20-50 piece MS200 + 6-10 S-1100 would be a reasonbly deterence.

Not sure about this "accident", but enemy subs may get rammed by some unmanned subject again in the future, if not torpedo. I guess this is how such ramming works:Small, unmanned, silent, South China Sea.
Maybe in the future US nuclear submarines will often hit "seamounts"
