In China, the first two UDCs of the 075 project, which are called "ready" for participation in the operation against Taiwan, passed the full course of tests.

According to information released by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, the first two ships of Project 075, named Hainan (Hainan) and Guangxi (Guangxi), have passed a full course of trials close to combat.

Footage posted to the Chinese Navy's Weibo social media account shows the two ships conducting sea trials at sea. At the same time, the time and place of their holding are not reported.

The 075 class is the largest amphibious assault ship (UDC) in service with the Chinese Navy, with a full-length landing deck that allows six helicopters to take off simultaneously. It is capable of carrying up to 30 rotorcraft, including the Chinese-made Z-20 and Z-18 and the Russian-made Ka-52.

With seven levels of dock space, the ship can carry 35 landing vehicles or three landing hovercraft, as well as about 1000 Marines and their equipment. This massive transport ship can also carry up to 10 major Chinese combat tanks Type 99A, 20 Type 05 armored infantry vehicles and 50 SUVs.

It is widely believed that the 075 series will play a vital role in a potential military campaign against Taiwan. For this purpose, the ships are considered to be ready. According to previously disseminated information, the Chinese Navy plans to build five more ships of the 075 type.

Along with 10 071-class ships, the PLA Navy will have a strong fleet to transport troops across the Taiwan Strait.

The unprecedented growth in the shipbuilding of the PLA Navy in recent years, according to some reports, has made them the largest in the world. fleet by the number of ships. It is believed that China has surpassed the United States in this indicator.

Unprecedented growth in PLA Navy shipbuilding in recent years

Is there a place to build

[Shelest2000]

There is someone to build and there is something to build on. They just shoot for corruption.

[spirit]

The Chinese are now probably very upset that we did not land troops in Odessa (thank God) So the PLA would be happy to learn from the mistakes of others. And for me, even 10 landing ships are not enough. We must attract everything that floats or they will throw it into the sea.

Without colossal air superiority, no amphibious assault will last long. Taiwan is densely populated, you can't transfer many people on landing ships, and logistics across the strait with the opposition of the US fleet is difficult.

China has enough base aircraft, and Taiwan is not so far from their shores as to make gaining air supremacy a problem.
In addition, China has two aircraft carriers in service, which will facilitate airspace control during the blockade, and "counteraction by the US fleet" ... it's like ... a hypothetical question. Harness against China off its coast? How ? A pair of AUGs? If China has ballistic anti-ship missiles with a range of over 2000 km? Yes, China will peck them with its corvettes / frigates, and no missile defense system for their AUG will cope, because it will be overloaded.
The United States needs the conflict and noise around Taiwan not for a full-scale war with China "here and now", but for a pretext for sanctions and trade restrictions to curb China's economic and military growth.
And the American "elves" have no intentions to fight and die in the war themselves.

Quote from Pharmacist

and logistics across the strait

China has a fairly large fleet of landing ships of our BDK, KFOR, MDK class. And their new UDCs are important for the landing of avant-garde units by helicopter landings and hovercraft, as well as for air support of landings by attack helicopters from the decks of the UDC. And the bulk of the landing will land on numerous landing ships, and if necessary, they will also attract civilian ships to organize massiveness.
But the fact of the matter is that a military operation to seize the island is the most extreme measure for China. They still want to unite peacefully.

The reason the Americans began to disperse the hysteria right now is that in a few years the landing operation to seize Taiwan will be a much less risky and difficult task for China. But if China is incited to act immediately, then it is the "Ukrainian Scenario" that is very likely - when the attacking side does not have enough forces and resources to develop the initial success, and all-round assistance to Taiwan with weapons makes the conflict protracted and exhausting.
The United States needs China to attack "here and now", and for China itself, the later, the better and more likely.

Cool ships, I hope it’s comfortable there, just like on Turkish and Spanish ones ... this is important for the expedition

[Radical]

Is there silence about the construction of our UDC in Kerch?

[Beregovic_1]

From the moment of "bookmarking" - complete. Not a single article, silence on specialized forums. Insiders from the Gulf are silent, nothing on space photos of the Gulf. Wait...

With such power as they have, they will have everything.
With our comprador and thieves (hello Roma)
We will have a minimum. They couldn’t even properly prepare for the NWO with the ba..bsk..oh division in the offices of the Moscow Region.
All the same nepotism, family ties, friendships, (well, how not to please your own little man), fraud, irresponsibility, theft, and no one is responsible for anything.
Again they leave on a simple soldier.
Sometimes I think that it was necessary to start the SVO not only for the stated reasons, but also in order to reveal all the ulcers and problems in the army and in the state as a whole.
If we immediately had to fight with all the might of NATO, and not with Ukraine, albeit with the help of NATO, then catastrophic losses would await us, if not defeat.
I hope that all conclusions will be made in time.
So far, I don't see anyone being punished.
At least for the stolen one and a half million sets of uniforms.
And then folk wisdom comes to mind, which says - the hand washes the hand and the crow does not peck out the eyes of the crow.
All this is sad... However, we have already observed all this in our history during the First World War.
Capitalism however.

Do not Cry. There are the military, working for the result - special forces, aviation, air defense, missilemen, artillerymen, scouts. They have a minimum of losses and up to 90% of the result (damage dealt). But the territory was always held by the "queen of the fields", and there is pain, losses, illnesses, etc. It is they who endure and endure the work of artillery, snipers, special forces, aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And little depends on the personal skill and skills of an infantryman. A splintered suitcase will fly on your head .... The economy of war, its mother ... Training a soldier is the cheapest. It always has been and always will be.

Straight pissed off. Can you refute what I said?
There are no complaints about the guys at the front, they are heroes.
I'm talking about power, if you don't understand.

[Beregovic_1]

What you are talking about is not only in the army, but also in science, education, medicine, industry, trade, agriculture, in general, everywhere. Our people are like that. Covid showed problems in medicine, special operations in the army. The absence of ideology leads to the fact that the best in business qualities, but at the same time the worst in moral qualities, climb into power. And you, if you had managerial talents, business acumen, efficiency and will, would you become a silverless patriot? Or would you not forget your loved one?

What do you know about me to throw any accusations at me? Do you think we are great?
Well, as they say, blessed is he who believes.
I'm not going to dissuade you.
These best in business qualities have driven the economy to a standstill, hello to your idols Chubais, Nabiullina, Kudrin, Siluanov and others.
You surprised me very much by justifying corruption
These guys actually get very good money and salaries and closed bonuses and so on.
I was a good manager and managed the whole direction and was a member of the board of directors.
Until the company was sold and your "effective managers" came and ruined the company, and my shares turned into dust.
You don't understand a damn thing.
By the way, I also have a badge of honor from the city for the development of the city.
Which does not give any privileges, even free travel in public transport.
But this is an assessment of my work for the benefit of the city.

I also don't like the characters you listed. But, realizing that I can’t change anything, I take it more calmly (although why am I ... we fired three corrupt officials - bosses through the court, and threw three out of the organization). Slowly, this scum will disappear. Well, by the way, not everything is so bad in the army. The army rests not on the graft, but on the hard workers. And so everywhere.

I agree with this completely.
