Is the LY-80(N) the missile on the Type 054A/P?

中国版“萨德”意外曝光？中国第四代防空装备集体亮相，作战能力究竟有多强？

最近几天，中部战区官方微信公众号发布的《砥砺奋发向未来，我们是中部战区空军》引起了大家的极大兴趣。究其原因，是这篇文章里放出的一段一分多钟的官方宣传片，被人发现有些“有意思”的东西，似乎是一款全新的…

The HQ-16B is said to be 5 meters long and 0.34 meters in diameter. Is that the same dimensions of the LY-80(N)? The HQ-16FE is an export approved model per the article and the designation of E for export. Also the design doesn’t add on a booster to achieve the range, so maybe it is the same size as the LY-80(N). It is said to be equivalent to the SM-2MR Block 3 (which is just short of 5 meters long and approx. 0.34 meters in diameter at a max range of 170 km). The upgrade was supposedly the fuel mix.

Is these dimensions are the same as the HQ-16FE (160 km), I hope the Type 054A/P at least has 12 of these longer range missiles.

Issue is that currently, in PLAN, only the LY-80 is in service (HQ-16A). When the B variant will come to naval service is unknown, let alone the F/FE variant. So doubt we will see these in PN any time soon. But i agree that PN needs more on these than the standard HQ-16A.

Why type 54ap only carry 4 ssm

Why type 54ap only carry 4 ssm

Lol where do you here that it can carry only 4 ssm??

Why type 54ap only carry 4 ssm

The reason Type 54 have only 4 SSM in the slant launchers compared to 8 or 6 in other PN ships is because these are bigger, heavier and longer range missiles and perhaps only 4 can be accomodated given the weight and size.

HOWEVER, although only 4 SSM maybe visible to you in the slant launchers, the Type 54 ships have an advantage no previous PN ship ever had before. i.e. the VLS cells, 32 of them! These are also capable of firing SSM like the C-802 that previous PN ships carried in slant launchers.
Since you can now put C-802 in the VLS, therefore it makes sense to carry better and longer range missiles in the slant launchers, giving these ships the capability to strike at the enemy from a relatively safer distance.

The VLS will carry mostly air defense missiles but can also have a few SSM. Overall Type-54 SSM capability might be the best in PN, better than both F-22P and Babur class.

Thanks

if all 32 cells vls is anti air occupied the SSM limited to 4, even each one of them is more lethal. and due to weight limitation it can only carry 4 ssm in slant position

Why type 54ap only carry 4 ssm

What Type 054A/P can carry is not the same as what it is carrying.

Exactly

In wartime configuration might be different as compared to what we see now

 

[GiantPanda]

Why type 54ap only carry 4 ssm

All Type 054A in PLAN service carry eight. You are looking at the frames that are supporting the box launchers which are usually stacked two deep.

Those are different missiles than the ones on PN ships. PN ships only carry 4 slant launchers so far.

How about this one?
