Type 052D DDG News & Discussions

The BIG DEAL is that China's next generation of nuclear-powered submarines will employ a multiple-purpose VLS that's is very similar in design and function to the one used on 052D。

The system will allow the new sub to assume the dual roles of tactic and strategic strike,by having on one boat conventional or nuclear ballistic missiles,conventional or nuclear cruise missiles,anti-aircraft missiles、anti-ship missiles、anti-submarine missiles,totalling some 100 plus torpedoes。

That's SSN、SSGN and SSBN in one,3 in 1. :yahoo::china::smitten:

The sub will launch 7-8 months as of today。

Please post where you got the information on the Type 096 from.
 
800 million USD is a more probable figure。
Cheaper, 1.2billion - 1.3billion USD per.
Local news ever reported 052C DDG built in China cost 1.1billion USD per, 052D carry new AESA radar and 64x new VLS will more expensive than original 052C.

2 x Type 052C + 2 x Type 052B = 1.6 billions USD at that time.

Really ?
Well China media news usually tell wrong. If truth that's much cheaper than Aegis DDG.
I checked 052C price by Baidu Wikipedia (just for reference), about 5billion RMB in China.
 

To clear things up:

1. Is this supposed to be the VLS on the Type 096?

2. Where did you get all the information on the VLS of the submarine?

3. Is that information reliable?
 
Where is 052D's VHF radar? I see the radar platform still empty.

I wish they will install new meter-wave radar to replace old VHF radar on 052C, it looks too ugly !

Aesthetics is not the issue here,cost-effectiveness and reliability are far more important。

He is right. At that time, this order (two 052B + two 052C) cost RMB 10 billion when dollar to RMB is about 1:7 to 1:8
