Type 052D DDG News & Discussions

Except we don't know. This was a ship that we knew was heading to the Baltics, and suddenly stopped midway (according to reports).

China has a habit of hiding anything that can make them lose face, unless it is something that can't be hidden.

And thus we should wait for more information. There are conflicting reports about it's final location and what exactly transpired.

Can we not try to start another flame war here? All you are doing is starting a chain of arguments that is not productive to the actual discussion.

So you mean India does not hide things that can make them lose face?
That might be true, as I read news of Indian aircraft crashing every a few days, not to mention amusing news like warship tipped over in dockyard, which seems to be hard to hide though.

Latest news on 173 Changsha, remember East Pendulum claimed there were rumors it was floating in IOR due to engine falilure. He now claims new info that the ship was recalled back for disciplinary action, seems like the commander had some discipline issues. Btw, I found out his so called source, TW media.

According to the Up Media newspaper quoting a source from the Taiwanese army (?) , Destroyer 173 Changsha was on June 18 from China for the Baltic Sea. But for some unknown reason the ship would never have left the South China Sea and would have turned back towards the Fiery Cross reef to return to the Zhejiang naval base, Vessel is affected, by sailing at a speed of "22 knots".

This speed of the ship thus seems to rule out any serious damage to the propulsion system as claimed by another Chinese source, quoted in our article of 8 July.

The same Taiwanese source assumes that this early return would be linked to the disciplinary investigations that are currently underway in the Chinese army, and that one or more Chinese destroyer or flotilla officials would be involved, forcing the Chinese navy To repatriate the whole ship and have it replaced by another of the same class.

Use google translate. Most Indians were jumping in joy and a few international outlets quoted the same East Pendulum 'news'.

When the engine issue brought up by Indians in this forum, RT already reported DDG-173 was conducting live fire exercise in the Mediterranean early. Just tells you can't believe everything comes out some of those so called "free media"

There is also a conspiracy theory among the Chinese netizens suggest that the DDG-173 was heading to the northern water of Australia to salvage the remain of the Shijian-18.

@SinoSoldier

Some people have been saying that a Type 052D type warship stopped working in the middle of Indian Ocean. Is it true?

Bussard where are you. You know what source East Pendulum uses, yes, TW media.

 

[Han Patriot]

You must quote properly his user name @Bussard Ramjet . Make sure he has no excuse to trying to escape from out enquiry. Just like @jhungary who bragged about USS Fitzgerald is no fault with collusion with merchant ship. Superpowa discipline. World class training of USN. My foot! All this link proves what USN are incapable. Bunch of ill discipline and cowboy attitude sailors.
PLaying cards, chit chatting and properly watching **** when the ship collided.
