Building Type 054A with VLS in GuangZhou

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 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.

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.
There are 32X VLS like MK41 .
much news displayed the missile is base on the R-73 with Russian A2A missile
not just only copy Tor

Links please...
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.

Was actually referring to "base on R73".

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

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.

"radars: 4X goblet"
are you talking about 4 MR-90?

"CLAWS " You know what's this?
:D GLCL with AMRAAM AIM-120C to be perfect VLS
Why put R-73 on chinese MK-41 to be impossible?

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.

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)

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.

Anyhow, it seems like HQ-7 is going to last for a while.
