That's so quick. 1st 'Zubr' just arrived China last month, today they start to China version 'Zubr' ??? Amazing ... it seems Chinese had done lots of prepare jobs in silence before building it.
Well done ! Continue building more China 'Zubr', this N.o1 superbig hovercraft will strengthen the connection between islands and mainland China, also improve the power of China Navy Marine corps.
PLAN Marines GO ~ !

Lower cost than 071class and more efficient than other landing ships.
But the problem with Zubr is its extreme short legged and lack of endurance. A 1000 nautical miles amphibious assault is impossible with Zubr unless they can solve accommodation for marines and increase the range for the domestic version.

China can build some kind of military cargo ship big enough to carry several Zubrs and Marine's AAAVs, the military ship can sail close to the dispute island, then let Zubrs and AAAVs out.
I ever read a news to introduce U.S Marine corps plan to build a new expedition assault ship like military cargo ship to carry big hovercraft and AAAVs, it's a good idea using some cargo ship to deliver big hovercrafts.
it will like this, it's no any problem for China to build some over 10,000ton cargo ships.
