Correct. It can be used on patrol boats, aside from the needs of the VPAF.Remote controlled Igla or a similar shoulder anti aircraft missile, I guess.

Well, at least it adds another layer of air defense against anti-ship missile or UAV.Air defence systems based on MANPADS are basically redundant for ships. Intercepting fighters or modern anti-ship missiles is outside the question. Heli armed with AshM has ranges well outside of those Igla-based missiles, even UAV like the S-100 variant used by China has a detection range well beyond the range of those Iglas. The truth is this system is redundant for a naval ship.

Insignificantly maybe, but better have a little thing than none. Please remember that during wartime, the TT-400TP won't operate alone and it belongs to the third line of offensive.
Western manufactures also offer those MANPADS based system to customers (although they hardly use it themselves), like the Mistral for the Indonesian Sigma corvettes.....but I have not heard of any realistic threats that they can deal with...
France still utilize mistral:sadral, on her Duplex frigate. It has a very limited role on air defense, yes, but we can improve it's effectiveness by adding CIWS.
As I said, better have it than not having it and lose a layer of defense. When under attack, every weapon counts.Western manufactures also offer those MANPADS based system to customers (although they hardly use it themselves), like the Mistral for the Indonesian Sigma corvettes.....but I have not heard of any realistic threats that they can deal with...
Modern AshM and UAVs is beyond its capacity (e.g. even a small rotary based S-100 can detect naval targets beyond 20km).
Banzai!
I am thinking to make a series of posts dedicated to our major partner country Japan.
dedicated especially for Chinese trollers here and elsewhere as well as state media, who repeatedly demand Japan to disappear from the South China Sea.
and for our lost brother Nihonjin
