HQ-9 Long range surface-Air Missile

So the system is really a combo of hot launch and cold launch. The first in the world.

Deino

Jane's has no answer, so didn't confirm whether it's a carrier ... and that satellite photos of DaLian shipyard is 2015-03-10 ... very old photos.

 

[Deino]

That's exactly my point - esp. since I don't know it - that they simply give no argument why they believe it not to be a carrier.

Can anyone please tell me what those white spots are on the ground. Are those painted on the photo or real markers?
I looked at old photos of the yard and didn't saw dots like that on the ground.

I thought I was seeing things... sSo I dropped this 1:1 scale photo of vessel 01 when docked at Dalian over it and well you can see yourself...

thats quite some many coincidences...

Edit: But then again if you only connect the outer ones and account for shadows hiding the bottom ones it could look like another freighter, buts that'd be a weird foundation.

 

[Deino]

Could it be that these dots are related to the previously build tanker ?? Size-wise it fits quite nicely if You look at the third image in the images in post [HASHTAG]#562[/HASHTAG] ?

Ship modules building ... those ship modules need the reference point on ground.

Meant to say tanker not freighter in my edit. Yeah seems like that.
Carrier ship hull probably wouldn't need blocks laying arround at that position.

But then again the existing structure in the center doesn't strike me as a tanker either.
