Why do they still make this old relic?

Railgun is on testing

 

[cirr]

China's rail gun entering the final phase of trials and tests。

It is a well-known fact that Chinese in general，and PLAN in particular，are conservative folks。So you won't see the gun deployed on Type 055 DDG。

But Type 055A。。。

 

[cirr]

Lots lots of “goodies” in the pipeline，covering every field that matters for a modern navy。

Even the power plants are about to receive substantial uplifts in power out and thermal efficiency。

24% and 7%，respectively。

You must have good eyesight 'cirr' coz i cant make out much in this fuzzy wuzzy photo!

Mind you its good to know that progress is going on well with the new '071A' at HD.

Am i correct in assuming that a further 2 071A's will be built, and if so will they be built one after another, presumably down to space reasons amongst others at the Hudong shipyard.

What known improvements will the new 071A's have over the original 3 071's?

What number in class is the type 054A Frigate?

So, what do you think the unknown PLAN ship could be?..........mind you where is it in your photo?

Please reply with your answers a.s.a.p.

All operational J-15 serve onboard CV-16 will equipped with WS-10H.

any pictures of that?

any pictures of that?

Chief designer of J-15 say J-15 will be powered by domestic engine.

China's J-15 fighter superior to Russian Su-33 (2) - People's Daily Online

Finally, the J-15 is powered by home-made Taihang (WS-10) turbofan engine, which is more powerful than the Su-33's engine. Overall, the J-15 is superior to the Su-33, and is comparable to world-class carrier-based aircraft such as the United States' F-18 and France's Rafale.

I think there is no improvement. Just that PLAN realised they do not have enough 071 of the 3 to utilise if one needs to go yard.
3 on operation and 1 on maintenance. PLAN just need to build another 2 LHD will be enough for overseas ops.
