China began construction of the third UDC project "Type-075"

Head UDC "Type-075" after launching. September 2019 of the year

China has begun construction of the Type-075 Third Universal Landing Ship (UDC) for the PLA Navy. It is reported by Jane's Defense Weekly with reference to commercial satellite images.

According to the publication, at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding shipyard (a division of China State Shipbuilding Corporation - CSSC) in Shanghai, construction of the third Type-075 UDC was launched. The hull is at the stage of assembly in a dry dock next to the second ship under construction of this class.

As TsAMTO previously reported, the PLA Navy at the first stage plans to commission three UDCs of this type. The lead ship of the series was launched at the 25 shipyard on September this year. According to reports, the assembly of the case took from 9 to 10 months. Currently, the UDC is being completed afloat. Then it was reported on the construction of the second UDC series and the possible laying of the third ship. Presumably, the third ship was laid down in October.

Based on the construction schedule of the lead ship of the series, it is assumed that the second and third UDC will be launched in March and July of next year, respectively.

The UDK of the 075 project under construction is a rather large ship comparable in size to its class in the UDC of the US Navy. According to available information, the length of the ships of the 075 project is 235 m, and the total displacement is 36 thousand tons (data from Chinese sources). American UDCs of the same class like Tarawa, Wasp and America have a length of 254-257 meters and a total displacement from 40 to 46 thousand tons. Width - 36 m, draft - 8,5 m. The estimated UDC speed is 23 knots, cruising range at speed 15 knots is about 10 thousand nautical miles. The ship can accommodate up to 1500 marines and more than 70 units. technicians. According to military experts, the Type-075 UDC can carry from 20 to 30 transport and attack helicopters of several types (Z-8, Z-9, Z-18, Ka-28, Ka-31), and possibly a ship version of the new Z-20.

Why did you say that? Any normal country is ready for this. The question is whether China is enough against India itself, plus Japan, plus the States are shining in the background? ..

That's how in my opinion - not enough yet. And not long enough

[donavi49]

India will be blocked at sea in ports, without any problems at all.

India has trouble with the fleet. The fact that they flew almost like a navy. Their shipyards require money and quadruple the deadlines, and at the end - it turns out well, so-so, to finish another 5 years.

China now has both a qualitative and multiple quantitative advantage. In all aspects.

1 aircraft carrier and obviously less. Wikrant is constantly transferred - now is the end of the 21 of the year. I will put that the Chinese Type002 with catapults will be pushed to tests earlier than Wickrant.

Three modern Calcuta - that's all there is now. 15B - delayed (21-22 years). Delhi (3pcs) as you don’t upgrade - it is still an old ship. With beam missiles and X35 as the main caliber.

The remaining Razhputy (4pcs) are actually the Brothers of the Shrewd, but the Bramosa were put there. But that does not make them modern.

Against this, China will set the modern heavy Nanchang (already in the squad) + 102 through 3-4 months will be accepted. 16 standard destroyers 052D - with 64 VPU (armed and YJ-18 - so this is 3M-54 against Bramos). 16-18 older destroyers - with C-300F / Calm drums, Exosets, etc.

According to frigates, there will be at least some 16 parity on 28. However, the Chinese have standardized (054A), the Indians have projects on the 3 ship.

For small forces - the Chinese will crush. They have only 056 - more than all the warships in the Indian Navy, including cutters with a machine gun.

Underwater - the Chinese have a significant advantage in ICAPL. And a double advantage in diesel engines.

India has trouble with the fleet.

There may be trouble with the fleet, but not the fact that it will be blocked.
In addition to the United States, virtually no one can. And China is no exception. Moreover, India is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. And the same States at the request of London will help.

[TermNachTer]

In the near foreseeable future, China is not able to confront the United States alone. The fact that they are trying to ape with the mattress fleet is a waste of money, since narrow-film ones have a lot of them. As one British admiral said - a bunch of ships - this is not a fleet yet.

But in the near future, a war between China and India is not expected.

Then, why the heck are these show-offs for visitors? Where are they going to land?

There is a realistic task: push the United States out of the South China Sea
(and generally off its coast), it will be able to in a few years.

[TermNachTer]

How will UDC participate in this?

[voyaka uh]

We are talking generally about the Chinese Navy.
UDC - to create threats to Vietnamese, Filipinos, Taiwanese ...

[TermNachTer]

Do you believe in landing in Taiwan?))) If you wanted to, they had landed a long time ago, but it isn’t enough for them. They will stupidly buy Taiwan with giblets - this is only a matter of time, and rushing them unnecessarily. With a fleet like Filipin, UDCs are not needed. Infantry can be transported by conventional vehicles.

Oh well ... especially the military.
It is American ships that roam the Yellow Sea, annoying China, and not Chinese in the Caribbean. And Beijing regularly expresses concern. Apparently from Big Brother, he got infected.
And we all remember going to the ram in such situations.
If in the Yellow Sea they can’t do anything with American impudence, then in the rest of the world all the more so.
We would not like to see an ally as a powerful military power, but in fact this is not so. Alas.

I would not call China an ally. A trading partner, yes, an ally - hardly. It’s just that at this stage of history our interests overlap, but whether this will continue in the near future, when China is significantly stronger militarily, is a rhetorical question.

Erzatz aircraft carrier.

[donavi49]

Not. In the fleet, they took the Western ideology of construction. No need to screw anything extra. No missile cruisers in an aircraft carrier hull. No extra frills on auxiliary supply ships. They must fulfill their function - as efficiently as possible. Every ton of non-core displacement should be removed.

They chose the Huosp / Mistral scheme - that is, a dedicated hangar deck for an air group. Without a springboard, because there is no VTOL. The armament is minimal, for self-defense (their version of RIM + their version of Goalkeepers 11 receiver). Moreover, it is submitted to the Sponsons and does not take away special volumes from the main purpose of the ship.

The Soviet and Russian fleets focused more on the fact that each ship should carry as many weapons and functions as possible, even if it harms the main task.

Another point - from which their shipbuilding boom comes out. No revolution and have no analogues in the world. Only evolution based on capabilities. Again, an 056 example. A simple corvette - which at the same time fulfills all the assigned tasks. I went through one modernization (we screwed Bugas + improved radar + increased aviation fuel reserves), now the second one is going on (like they will update the air defense systems and even the little things). At the same time, it is being built almost by a conveyor at 4 shipyards, and at the same time it has started to be sold for cheaply, fairly quickly and fairly.

Throw stones at me, but as not a specialist, but a simple layman, I note that the ship is beautiful.)

[mvg]

It's not 11 years for you to build Ivan, as much as 4500 tons. With two helicopters. And a battalion of infantry. Such a boat can capture a medium-sized African country or hold a bridgehead there.

[tihonmarine]

Quote: mvg

Such a boat can capture a medium-sized African country or hold a bridgehead there.

There is no need to grab, the main thing is to offer competent help, and then sideways slowly shove such a boat. And believe they have been doing it for about a dozen years. What is the main thing in Africa? "Zhrachka" - rice, fish, sugar. And now this is already controlled by the "dummies", they ousted the Indians. And then it will go like clockwork.

[mvg]

China may not move the United States in Africa soon, but the French, Dutch and other "trifles" are quite enough for themselves. And he will not give up his interests to anyone. 1500 people, 30 helicopters and 70 armored vehicles are a force. There are many good things in Africa.
P.S. : It’s sad that we don’t have such. It’s not even Mistral, but twice as cool.

[Dikson]

Oh, and the Chinese will soon make a rustle in all of Southeast Asia ... How will all islands — big and small — begin to crush ... And in Africa they have something to take their hands on ... They are tearing ahead without looking back .. And thank God, that while ice class warships and military icebreakers are not very built .. Otherwise, we would be very sad on our Arctic coast .. Although in the Pacific Ocean you can already be sad in general ..

[tihonmarine]

Quote: Dikson

And thank God that ice-class warships and military icebreakers are not yet being built very well ..

But in 20 years they will be in the Arctic. We have where and why to hurry.

[Dikson]

At this rate, they can even in five years drive their caravans along the NSR, and even with military cover, without asking us .. - To round the Severnaya Zemlya, Novaya Zemlya - and here it is, Europe ... Just at the moment they have more easily achievable goals .. Yes, and we, actually, are not against their merchant ships on the NSR .. It's like with the "Soyuz" for the Americans .. As long as it is profitable for them, they will use our services for escorting ships .. Theoretically - who can ban a military icebreaker to wander near the same Novaya Zemlya in neutral waters? Nobody.

[tihonmarine]

Quote: Dikson

Just at the moment they have more easily attainable goals .. And we, in fact, are not against their merchant ships on the NSR.

At the moment, they have "other goals" and they carry out what they have always and precisely outlined (I remember from childhood). Maybe we are against that they will go along the NSR, but here we have to endure.

envy .. and expectation of a holiday at our shipyards.

The workers of the Zvezda ship repair plant and other residents of the Big Stone on Monday, October 7, will come to a rally in Primorye, a REGNUM correspondent reports.
The main question that the rally participants want to ask the authorities concerns loading orders of the defense enterprises of Primorye - the Zvezda ship repair plant in Bolshoi Kamen and the Progress aircraft building plant in Arseniev.
Olga Skripko, the chairman of the trade union committee of the Zvezda DVZ shipyard, announced her participation in the rally of one and a half thousand people, as the company's employees are worried about their future: since August 1, the company has been transferred to part-time work, people have no work, a social explosion is ripening.

At the same time, for the construction of the shipbuilding complex SSK Zvezda, where Russian President Vladimir Putin flew six times, Chinese citizens were hired as masons with a salary of about 145 thousand rubles.
