PLA Navy received the 49th and 50th Type-056 / 056A corvettes

Corvette project type-056 / 056A, previously adopted by the Navy PLA

Two newest corvettes of the Type-056 / 056A project (Jiangdao class) became part of the PLA Naval Forces, thereby bringing the number of corvettes of this type in Chinese navy up to 50 units. This was reported by TSAMTO with reference to Jane's Defense Weekl.

According to the publication, the PLA Navy was replenished with the 49th and 50th corvettes of the Type-056 / 056A project Luan and Liaocheng. Both corvettes are made in the anti-submarine version.

Luan, built at the Shanghai Hudong Zhonghua shipyard, will be part of the 14th Eastern Fleet squadron. The ceremony of enlistment took place at the Shanghai-Wusong Naval Base of the Eastern Fleet. Liaocheng, built at the Wuchang Shipyard in Wuhan, will be part of the Northern Fleet of the PLA Navy.

Jiangdao class corvettes have a total displacement of 1500 tons. The case is 89 meters long and 11 meters wide. The ship is equipped with various weapons systems, modern radar equipment and air defense systems. The armament includes: 76-mm gun mount, four launchers of anti-ship missiles YJ-83 with a firing range of up to 160 km, eight-container short-range air defense systems HQ-10, two 324-mm three-tube torpedo tubes. When designing corvettes, technologies for reducing visibility are used.

The ship of class "Type-056" independently developed in China and built with 2012 year. From the end of 2014, the PLA Navy began to receive corvettes of the modified 056A project, which differs from the basic 056 project mainly in the presence of towed GUS. In this case, the construction of both modifications continues in parallel.

Ships are intended exclusively for patrolling territorial waters, escorts, fighting surface and submarine forces of the enemy, and protecting fisheries. This is evidenced by both autonomy limited to 15 days and a cruising range of no more than 2000 miles. In carrying out these tasks, they are intended to replace several types of patrol ships and part of the obsolete frigates of project 053H (class "Jianghu I").

The construction of ships of this type is simultaneously carried out at four shipyards: Hudong-Zhonghua in Shanghai, Huangpu Shipyard in Guangzhou, Liaonan Shipyard in Dalian, Wuchang Shipyard in Wuhan. The average rate of delivery of corvettes is one ship every six weeks.

And what's the use? Something the Chinese are cowardly .. With such a fleet they could already control and observe at the main points of the conflict and tension .. But they can not be heard or seen something ..
So wait for their fleet to crash at once ..
You need to experience it in hostilities, well, at least close to those .. How many times have Russia invited them to the shores of Syria? There, they could conduct joint exercises with Iran and the United States shug ..

[K-612-O]

These are all the same ships of the near sea zone. Their task is to defend the coast.

How to say ..

This is evidenced by autonomy limited to 15 days and a cruising range of no more than 2000 miles.

In fact, China has not only corvettes .. I’m not special of course, but I remember off the coast of Syria, Russia has collected everything that is possible. To protect them from the powerful group of the USAG ..
And are China right to modest the coastline with such a powerful fleet about to defend themselves?
Oh, we would have their money in our shipyards ..

[Romka]

Yeah, and in these shipyards, either the crane is overturned, or drowned, or a fire is arranged.

[Stone]

Eh, brains to you and people like you, so that you wouldn’t carry such a muin.

Well, show me how it is necessary))) Have you put on a hat? The saber was taken and galloped! From the sofa it’s easy to talk about cowardice, especially if the coward is thousands of kilometers away and does not require an answer for words.
And if it is absolutely bad with eyesight especially for you:
Ships are intended exclusively for patrolling territorial waters, escorts, fighting surface and submarine forces of the enemy, and protecting fisheries.
They have already built an aircraft carrier for scaring. From scratch. Themselves. And in 2 years they launched 6 boards of 55 series destroyers of 12000 tons each. Let’s say from our couch that we have built a similar one?
Forget the days when China was a banana republic, now it is what the USSR could be. Laughing from China, you simply show your extremely narrow horizons.

As of August 2019, the Russian Navy has 6 corpses “Steregushchiy”, “Soobrazitelny”, “Boyky” and “Resistant” as part of the Baltic Fleet and “Perfect”, “Loud” as part of the Pacific Fleet, 1 in trials and 6 more corvettes are being built.

If such a pace of shipbuilding in China, then yes ... Impressive ...

[Alex 2020]

Stamped like pies. For our shipbuilders and the Navy, such terms and volumes of construction of warships.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

What is the use of them?

Air defense 8 containers only short-range, 4 anti-ship missiles, again up to 160 km, 76-mm gun, two torpedo tubes and ASG.

This ship is defenseless.

We do not need this, we need the corvette, etc. 20380/20385.

At the end of last year, such joint exercises were conducted / Gulf of Oman /.
China is developing in a complex manner and if in "soft power" it is successfully ruining the Americans in many places even now, then in military affairs it honestly admits its lag. He set 2050 as a conditional date when he can call himself a military superpower equal to the United States.
And now is only the 2020th year, also significant, by the way. After all, this year is headed by the Chinese Communist Party the year when the PLA reaches a degree of readiness for use in local conflicts at its borders to expand its strategic space. It must be said that China has done a lot to achieve such readiness --- it has created a strong economic base, modernized the PLA according to the most modern standards, has the largest peacekeeping contingent in the world, and has done 1000 more affairs. So already in this decade we will be able to see how China is dealing with small neighbors.

And what's the use? Something the Chinese are cowardly ..

Cowards would never have created such a vast empire, much less could not have maintained it. It’s just hard for Europeans to understand their logic, but they have it. When in the Korean War they threw their divisions armed with practically the same rifleman and light artillery at well-equipped American / supported by powerful Air Force /, they fought very creatively, did not spare themselves and performed the task of preventing the Yankees close to their land border.
Now China has a different task. A more ambitious strategic --- become No. 1. Remember about the year 2050 !!! Getting into a direct fight with the United States or Japan would be a disaster right now. The time for the use of military force against these countries has not yet come. But, for example, Beijing never refuses from a military demonstration and defending its borders.

[Sergey S.]

2050, he outlined a tentative date when he could call himself a military superpower equal to the United States.

I think the Chinese were mistaken in the forecast.
Catch up and overtake ... earlier.

The only problem is what their real goals will be.
If you get involved in squabbles with neighbors. then the Anglo-Saxons can get out - India, Myanmar, Vietnam ... Indonesia, the Philippines ... a huge human force. And after a decade - trained and ambitious.
But if the Chinese make peace with their neighbors, I won’t know the US people ...
And this scenario is very similar to an action plan.

[Orkraider]

Air defense 8 containers only short range

I agree with you, the air defense equal to the numbed Shell.
TTX SAM HHQ-10 (FL3000N):

Weakly.

Comparing with our RTOs (if you take it from the 3rd), they benefit from the presence of a GAS and a helicopter. A helicopter, with such a displacement, is an extremely dubious undertaking, and the fuel reserves for it, I think, are a maximum of a couple of sorties.

The speed of construction is impressive.

Myself, of course, wants 20380 last bookmarks, with an integrated mast, that’s them ... but they are expensive ..

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

I just don’t see the point in 50 weak corvettes that cannot compete on equal terms with anyone, neither from the air nor from the water, not from under the water, except for any smugglers.

And these 50 underdevelopers consume a huge amount of resources.

Why did they do so much ?! What is the use of them ?!

For anti-submarine defense did their bases?

A very dubious undertaking and certainly not rational.

For such a task, it is better, in my opinion, to have a GAS network of the type of our "Harmony" which blocks all approaches to our naval bases and corvettes that can go out on its signals and expel or attack a surface ship or a submarine, for this on pr. 20380/20385 is everything, including an anti-submarine helicopter and powerful defense and attack systems.

And what can a small Chinese corvette do?

- from the air he is attacked from an airplane from a distance at which he will not answer;

- from or from under water, even NATO Harpoons have a long range and powerful air defense to be the first to attack or shoot down Chinese missiles.

What is the effectiveness of Chinese corvettes? The fact that there are many, but what's the use of it? The enemy earlier detects and earlier can attack such corvettes with impunity. Even if there will be 200 of them, I do not see any benefit in them.

Better than 20 corvettes pr.20380 than 50 Type-056 / 56A corvettes.

Well done quickly built of course, only then what? Another 50-100 corvettes and so on ad infinitum or to reduce production?

[Stalllker]

We have more anti-ship missiles

[Igor Borisov_2]

The average rate of delivery of corvettes is one ship every six weeks.


Stunned! They bake them like pies or something ....

[Alex 2020]

Not that word! But I’m afraid that the word will be banned again, therefore, to be stunned.

[K-612-O]

Bring in millions of 200 workers and engineers plus shipyards the size of a city and the pace will be the same

[Lord of the Sith]

Well, sure zerg)))

[K-612-O]

Karakut will be more powerful

[K-612-O]

So the next episode in the package version will be. And in terms of air defense it will be more ponderous with a smaller displacement, and strike weapons of much greater range.

[Bashkirkhan]

There, only 71 corvettes were lowered 056. 50 corvettes are excluding export orders. In addition, as of December 19, 2019, the Chinese Navy has two aircraft carriers, 20 destroyers and 30 frigates.

[Bashkirkhan]

The shocking pace of corvette construction is certainly amazing. On the other hand, 1,5 billion people are no jokes. The scale of corruption, by the way, is also not small among the Chinese.

[New Year day]

Why is he now gold? The wallet to the lid of the coffin can not be beaten. And China will build another ship for confiscation

[New Year day]

The score goes to tens, and we are glad for each unit. The Chinese have finished one series, they will launch another. This is such a squiggle. Darkness

[master 52]

they took good speed in construction, but quality is a big question

[Graz]

in our office in the school over the workbenches with a vise hung a poster with the inscription (in the 90s)
Quantity goes into quality

[master 52]

and this is also true, although sometimes it’s not always the other way around that is simplification for the sake of speed

[God save the king]

Not such a question.
The Chinese have long been able in quality and for the army to do everything at the highest level.

[Ax Matt]

And what is this steamboat good for? Who checked? Judging by the rifleman, they don’t shine with special quality. More dutiks. Looks and cases are always painted with white paint, not otherwise, to visually seem more ... however, I doubt these balloons ...

[Retvizan 8]

Just think of the fiftieth corvette, but the Independent two promised boats promised, and even who, already AmeriKhans themselves!))

[God save the king]

These are the ships with which normal people begin the revival of the fleet.
And we have one idle talk about aircraft carriers, missile super links and other wunderwafes ...

[Moonsund]

Hmm, sketch design and what you can touch. The difference between us and them. And do not say that the corvettes are "such_nothing", they are stupid. And we draw an imitation. That's all the current efficiency

[Stalllker]

Well, what is China's naval school? If the crew bottom, then the ships will go there too

[Looking for]

One ship every six weeks !!!!!!!!! Wake me up if I sleep !.

[lvov_aleksey]

Hello everyone, but my opinion is one, China has not yet gone to sea-ocean to fight, the future will tell.
it's too early to get scared.
