According to the original footage, it is a test firing range of PLAGF, not from PLAN.

There is no fixed calibre. It can be 370mm to 122mm.

This is nice. I hope Pakistan inducts few more MRLS from China and also this system

SY 400 this beast and can be of great use against moving Indian Armor.

This is not a torpedo so How on earth it can destroy a Submarine ?

Look it this way

It is a winged rocket assisted/turbofan powered missile while flying midair and becomes a torpedo when hitting water near where the submarine is.

Precisely, just like a reverse process of Torpedo to Missile of YJ-18

Normal anti sub torpedo is limited in range and speed against Submarine. With Rocket assisted or missile torpedo, you have fast reaction and far longer range against lurking submarine.

Look at this missile launch. It is flat head against tradition sharp point SAM launch from warship.. It is a ASROC fired from PLAN Type054A frigate

By the way the VLS system used in Type 054 !!! Can they only fire Air Defence Missiles but can also fire long range cruise missiles ?

@Beast @cirr @Deino

So far , only ASROC and SAM. The canister is smaller consider than on Type052D. I dont think its possible to fire cruise missile but the SY-400 is a possible candidate with a modify slim version but that will also mean shorter range than 400km.

Wrong typo , it is YJ-81 and you don't rot. I am talking about missile fitted into torpedo canister to be underwater fire anti-ship missile. Even zarvan understands that.
