Type 52c Destroyer​

Propulsion: Ukranian and German

The first two ships' propulsion is in the form of CODOG, consisting of two Ukraine-made DA80/DN80 gas turbines each rated at ~32,600 hp(24 MW) and two Shaanxi diesel engines (Chinese licensed production of the MTU 20V956TB92 (German)) each rated at ~6,700 hp (5 MW). The DA80/DN80 gas turbine is the export version of UGT-25000 of Ukrainian Zorya-Mashprocket State State Enterprise Gas Turbine Research & Production Complex, purchased by China in the late 1990s as part of license-production in China. [1]The UGT25000 has power rating of 25-27MW depending on configuration [2], but could only provide 24MW upon delivery because development was not fully completed when they were sold to China. A total of eight units were originally purchased and Chinese sources have claimed that all had been upgraded, mainly in the area of turbine blade production techniques, and such update had greatly increased reliability and maintainability.

Radar: Ukranian origin

​

The August 2009 report from the Office of Naval Intelligence states that “the Luyang II DDG possesses a sophisticated phased-array radar system similar to the western AEGIS radar system.” 2009 ONI Report, p. 1. Another author states that “the Chinese bought their active-array destroyer radar from the Ukrainian Kvant organization, which is unlikely to have the resources to develop the project much further.” (Norman Friedman, “Russian Arms Industry Foundering,” U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings, September 2009: 90-91.

The cost ballooned becuz of Bureaucratic hurdles which were caused by the previous inept govt & even then the costs are not so much,the costs will further go down due to increase content from our side,modular construction.Kolkata has 80% Ingenious content,out of the 3 services Navy is far ahead in the process of inducting home grown things.



That was a very constructive & Meaningful post .I have a feeling you won't last long here with this attitude

lol why wont i? Believe me i have travelled alot and even lived in many countries, and i know there are people who are quite arrogant and ultranationalistic especially in Asia where they tend to be overly emotional about history. So i know how some of them react. I just tend to ignore them when they cant counter my point in a respectful/constructive manner. Ignoring trolls is the best way to mute them in the long run, indulging yourselfs into arguments with them only make things worst and encourages them. Remember that when you argue with an idiot, you are no better than him.
I was just hoping on a discussion forum like this one things might be different, since i thought it was mostly made of professionals, adults and intellectuals. So i assumed the conversation here will be more constructive and respectful withouht the constant insults/personal attacks and dick measuring contests in unrelated threads. I know no matter how we make this point, some people will never change, and will always be trolls/arrogant/ultra baised and nationalistic, but i believe some can change.

Hopefully members here will be more willing to accept some criticsm without going beserk and making constructive counter arguments without name calling/dick measuring contest.
