there is a lot of speculations on this system right now. What we do know is that it should be a larger than 054 to support the VLS. The search radar used is most likely Top Plate. I'm not sure about what is the guidance radars are used.contedicavour said:YJ-83 / C-803 allright, though not sure about the SAMs.
The original Type 054 didn't have VLS SAMs, so one can only speculate on the VLS on Type 054. Could be HHQ-9 though I would have expected such a long-range to be dedicated to DDGs. Same for Grumble. How about VLS SA-N-12 Shtil improved, as on the Indian Kolkata (Delhi follow-on) ?
cheers
There are 32X VLS like MK41 .weasel1962 said:There are only limited number of VLS systems.
I think most likely HQ-17 which is the chinese copy of the TOR system (SA-N-9). Grumble and HHQ9 is too large to fit into a Type 54 hull.
look on the picture of the model. That's what everyone is expecting to appear on 054A. (which is, 32 cell MK-41 style VLS) Who knows, maybe it will get something else.weasel1962 said:"much news displayed "

what are the missile director radars on this latest chinese warship ? and how many missiles can they direct onto the targets(air to air)?myskykk said:radars: 4X goblet
Yes,yes! That is the key point!:myskykk said:The chinese policy Called "Double Legs" means We Got Russia weapon System and go on ! that's real chinese menace US and Russia fear and the biggest diffence from india.
own "same function\Roles" Weapon System not give up!
R-73 is SRAAM, whatever they are putting on 054A is not. There is no such thing as AL-32F. There is no such thing as 041. Where did you get Russians joining HQ-16 in 1998? There is no such proof.myskykk said:Actually That's impossible to just simple move on ship !Tor M1 or S-300PUMX Just old 70-80th production could not be adapted today Net war!
In 1998 Russia joined HQ-16 project be developed over 10 years.
The chinese policy Called "Double Legs" means We Got Russia weapon System and continue own "same function\Roles" Weapon System not give up! For example: WS-10A and AL-32F, 052C and 051C Kilo and 041/039A R-77 and PL-12 that's real chinese menace US and Russia fear and the biggest diffence from india.
Tor-m1 and HQ-16A S-300 and HQ9

"radars: 4X goblet"
are you talking about 4 MR-90?
You should enlarge the last picture which red line i wrote and got keyaaaditya said:what are the missile director radars on this latest chinese warship ? and how many missiles can they direct onto the targets(air to air)?
you would need to develop the SAM version first of all. And second of all, China would be more likely developing it's homegrown version, which it already has with DK-9C. And btw, that went no where.myskykk said:"CLAWS " You know what's this?
GLCL with AMRAAM AIM-120C to be perfect VLS
Why put R-73 on chinese MK-41 to be impossible?
What plans does the PLAN have to replace the local copy of Crotale for short range SAMs aboard its FFGs/older DDGs ?tphuang said:you would need to develop the SAM version first of all.

I personally think HQ-16 (or whatever they call what they put on 054A) is what is developed to be like Aster-15. Also, I did do a little research since last time on HQ-7, it seemed like HQ-7 was a lot more capable than I had previous given it credit for.contedicavour said:What plans does the PLAN have to replace the local copy of Crotale for short range SAMs aboard its FFGs/older DDGs ?
It's great that they develop HQ-9 (whatever its maximum range ), but they should also speed up a bit programmes to achieve something comparable to Aster-15 or at least ESSM, both in terms of range (20-30km) and speed (Mach 3.5-4.0)
