China launches 056 project corvettes

According to Chinese network resources, at the beginning of June 2013, two corvettes of the new 056 project (NATO designation - Jaingdao class) - the fifth and sixth ships of this type, respectively, were introduced into the PLA Navy. This refers to Qinzhou corvettes (tail number "597") and Shangrao (tail number "583"). The Qinzhou Corvette was built by the Guangzhou Huangpu Shipbuiding Company in Guangzhou (becoming the second corvette of this shipyard), and the Shangrao Corvette was built by the Shanghai Shipyard Hudong Shipyard of the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding Group (and also became the second corvette handed over to the factory - the first corvette Bengbu series).

Thus, since the introduction of Chinese fleet the first corvette of Project 056 Bengbu (tail number "582") on February 25, 2013, the PLA Navy received six (!) ships of this type in three and a half months - in addition to the three mentioned ships, Huizhou corvettes (tail number were also delivered in April-May) “596”, built at Hudong Shipyard), Datong (tail number “580”, built by Dalian Liaonan Shipyard in Dalian) and corvette with tail number “584” (possible name Suqian, built by Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Company in Wuhan). According to the available information, at the listed four shipbuilding enterprises of the PRC at least 12 more project 056 corvettes are in various stages of construction, including four under construction afloat: Gian corvette (tail number "586") - at Hudong Shipyard, corvette with tail 587 for Guangzhou Huangpu Shipbuiding Company, a 585 corvette for the Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Company and a 581 for Corvette for Dalian Liaonan Shipyard.

According to the Chinese classification, the 056 project refers specifically to frigates, although a number of Russian-speaking sources attribute them to corvettes. The ship's displacement is 1300 (according to other data, up to 1500) tons, and the armament is represented by two rocket launchers (anti-ship missiles YJ-83, they are also C-803, range to 300 kilometers, speed to two speeds of sound), AK-176 gunner ( caliber 76 millimeters), two 30-mm guns and two three-tube torpedo tubes with a caliber 533 millimeter. The air group consists of one helicopter, for which the takeoff deck is equipped.

The surface part of the ship is made with elements of technology to reduce radio sight. Two diesel engines (the power of which is not indicated) allow to reach speeds up to 28 knots, and in economy mode (18 knots) the range is about 3700 kilometers.

China seeks to challenge the naval power of the United States and Japan in the Pacific.

[MilaPhone]

I wonder what their level of quality is at this pace of construction.

[saved]

I think that just the quality is normal, because they have a large term of imprisonment for a major marriage. Moreover, the domestic market of China is not at all what they trade with us. And global brands do not complain about quality at all, otherwise they would have long been removed from there.

[Algor73]

He already left, didn’t they notice? But not only the USA and Japan.

[Trailer]

For three and a half months, the PLA Navy has already received six (!) Ships of this type

Yak pies! Well, I hope not in quantity, so in terms of the displacement of the ships put into operation in 2013, we will not yield to the Chinese.

[patsantre]

very naive ... ((

According to the Chinese classification, he refers to corvettes: 英文
Moreover, the Chinese forum member J20! He speaks. that this is the 9th ship of this class.

Quote: Akim

I compared it with our "guardian" and, in general, was glad for the PLA. At this rate, in the APR there will soon be an excellent barrier from the PLA Navy ships. And a great help for the Mediterranean squadron.

[Edward72]

Well, maybe it’s enough for China to sell weapons now let them do it. It's time to think about yourself.

.It's time to think about yourself

I hope you know that money is needed for everything. An unfamiliar seller will not give you a box of matches without money. Do you agree? Do you know how many people do not pay taxes in full? Do you know how many entrepreneurs by any means evade taxes? Indeed, those requiring freedom for Khodork are similar to him. Now, think about the meaning of your own words! Do not pay taxes, undermine the country's defense. And then there are also stealing the budget around spinning. It is a pity that it does not work out an example from the Chinese or Iranians to take.

[Consmo]

Do you pay?
And in the courses that with each ruble, more than 50 kopecks goes to the state and social workers.
And the hospitals draw pressure for each alik, they draw a heart attack and disability, and the sanatorium is 21 days free. And we transfer the asphalt every 2 years.
I do business, electronics, not trade.
While this ruble earn all .. in soap.
A friend has a metalworking company. 4 eagles plow him. He pays himself more. Last week he called, he says .. and the full one. He sold the lathe. He refuses slowly from the premises.
And do not agitate us for the Motherland. Officials are not the Motherland.

15 years paid. He sat on the impute for almost half the term. And now I get paid.

[vitek1233]

Interestingly, our Pacific Fleet can be compared with the Chinese?

[Edward72]

Considering how the Chinese build ships, soon there will be nothing to compare. After all, on the Pacific Fleet ships of the 70-80s and even then do not fall apart thanks to the seagulls.

[cartridge]

Don't die beforehand, sir! Remember Mark Twain's phrase: "Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated"?
So do not rush to bury the Pacific Fleet. You still will not succeed.

[Edward72]

So I repeat once more, enough to drive weapons beyond the cordon you need to think and do about your own aircraft, let the pilgrims invent themselves.

[leon-iv]

After all, on the Pacific Fleet, ships of the 70-80s and even then do not fall apart thanks to seagulls.

Og only 949 all these dishes cheerfully drown without any problems.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Can. But it’s better not to do this - your nerves will be more whole

[bddrus]

I can’t say by technical characteristics, but for objectivity it is worth considering both financial and human potential. And many people demand that the fleet be consistent with the strength of the United States, but they forget that they have more than 2 times the people and the military budget is 10 times more. With China, the story is about the same - you want to compare the fleet of a whole large country with a GDP greater than ours (I think the military budget is also larger) with one of our fleets.

[Kavtorang]

Better not try.
Fall into sadness and go drink vodka. Sobsna, even for combat-ready "strategists" is no longer worth it - at best, bash for bash. Anything smaller is even sadder.

[leon-iv]

If according to strategists we have START-3 this time. Further, they have exactly the same problems with the BR for them, ours do not.
Well, China is riveting boats; let it continue to make the Russian Navy not a threat, and we will not be a continental power.

For 1,5 years, 1 submarine (without missiles), 2 corvettes.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

A boat, not a corvette. Although maybe corvettes should be so simple and cheap. And not like a small boat here, Arly Burke can set the heat.

[Vladimirets]

Buyan-M with 8 calibers.

Brawler vs. Arlie Burke? Theoretically, Buyan, of course, and the aircraft carrier can "set the heat" if he lets him close. But in reality, Arly with a helicopter (or helicopters), his number of missiles and radar will not give Buyan a chance, unfortunately, the weight categories are different.

[sapsan14]

It's time to stop comparing. The United States builds a fleet for its own purposes, and Burke is the basis, and not the worst one. The Chinese are quantitatively increasing their fleet, improving quality with each batch. And this is also a clearly traceable program. We, losing every year in quality (service life is long without deep modernization), are not growing, at least quantitatively. There is no program for the development of the fleet (we are not talking about "projects" before 202 ..). And "set the heat" may have to be tomorrow. THAN?

[afire]

we'll come up with something as always

[LOCKS]

This is the pace. While amers are learning to print pads on their three-dimensional printers, the Chinese are already making ships.

[night1313]

Of course, I understand that this makes no sense, but ... somehow ugly. The pace is scary.

[Vtel]

They put it right on the stream. Every Chinese in the ship and the United States does not have enough bananas to throw them.

[bddrus]

only I did not understand when they were laid? how much time do they build?

[Odysseus]

Quote: bddrus

Between launching and transferring to the fleet a little less than a year.

[Ezhaak]

The question is to those who today are directly related to the fleet.
How effective are ships built using stealth technologies? How strong is the effect of using these technologies?

[fisherman]

a big question to the quality of these corvettes at such a pace - are they not using our "five-year-in-four years" methods? By the way - is there any open data on the accident rate at their Navy?

[VohaAhov]

The Chinese felt for the right type of corvette to protect the water area. Simple, cheap and cheerful. In terms of its performance characteristics and the functions performed, it is close to our IPC of project 1124M. But with the suppression of the function of striking enemy ships. The Chinese understand that they urgently need to change their old coastal numerous, multi-type and inefficient fleet. We stopped at project 056 and riveted them on several CVDs. What can I say - well done.

[Consmo]

Judging by the fact that there is no air defense, these are coastal ships or landing

[bddrus]

maybe it would have been more fun for us since 20380/20385, if several shipyards were built, but the second one was connected - the Amur Shipyard, and they all spent time ... about it. So it would be two shipyards - about 6 in the tab - you would look and issued a couple of three a year.

[silver_roman]

yeah ... the pace is really enviable, straight shock I would say. But only against the backdrop of frigates, these boats are at least 2 times smaller. that and not a word about the air defense of the ship.
yet the guys are still trying to take more in quantity. than quality. Although sometimes such tactics are also very effective.

[Odysseus]

Frigates are also being built. Air defense at 056 is.

[leon-iv]

FL-3000N?
Is it a misunderstanding to call air defense? And judging by the dimensions there is an analogue of our Needle but a range of 9 km is indicated which is most likely throwable.
And so the boat is nothing but for the OVR is quite good.

Well, what to put on a ship with a displacement of 1350 tons? HQ-9?
A completely normal system for a guard.

Quote: leon-iv

I don’t understand your skepticism. It’s a watchman. And in its quality it’s not bad either. The modular design, elements of reducing the radio frequency, a complete set of weapons. Of course, we don’t know the start, but given the successes of the People’s Republic of China in electronics, there is hardly anything terrible there.
We ourselves would not be in trouble with 8-10 such boats. Especially in indoor pools (Black Sea Fleet, BF)

Who have you seen a beautiful ship with low radar signature? Or calculated angles or smooth lines. Such beautiful ones as ours 1164, 956, 1155 - from the modern "steals" I definitely do not remember.

[patsantre]

Stealth also looks very much. Take a look at our 22350, or Amersky Zumwalt.

[leon-iv]

Why are you so excited then?
The ship in fact is a small OVR corvette. Here is the most interesting thing that they have inside. For the riveting case is one thing. It can be compared with Buyan only here we saw them for the Caspian, reducing seaworthiness and increasing shock functions.

[Kavtorang]

Quote: leon-iv

I agree 100%. You can also go with SIGMA or "Govind", "Eilat", K-130, but they are innumerable now.
But I got excited ... Well, for example, I personally am now a pensioner, I go there every day, and in the evening I go past the RPD of 165 BRNK and 19 SLBM of the Primorsky Flotilla of various forces of the Pacific Fleet. Every time I feel sad. Not a damn thing is changing there for the better - there are fewer and fewer ships, more deserted and deserted.

[leon-iv]

Then I wrote about my vision of the fleet.
Briefly, the fleet that was in the USSR we don’t need because its main purpose is to cover strategists. Now strategists are much quieter starting with the BRD and the BRDM. And NKs will only give out their presence. But there were no multipurpose ships in the fleet of the USSR. They went only with 20380 and 22350 now they are already going and buoys, by the way, their pace is not bad for 2 years.
The same weight at 11356M
at 22350 let's see how it goes with kasatonovym
20385 is already more or less.

[Kavtorang]

Quote: patsantre

Stealth also look very.

But what about aesthetics? One of the greats, I can’t remember exactly, said: perfect military equipment cannot be ugly (I can’t vouch for verbatim, but the meaning is that). The taste and color ...
IMHO, "Zumvolt" is a monster of a terrible kind. Look at the page of this day about the fleets of North Africa - there are a couple of photos of ships with reduced radar signature. Then find photos or drawings of the latest series of WWII Japanese heavy cruisers.

[patsantre]

And in my opinion - Zumwalt is handsome. For taste and color.

More precisely - "Osa-M" with a drum feed and 2 combat-ready. A. What not to like about the RAM complex, can you clarify? A bunch of countries use and don't complain. In the volume of publications of the Western Military District, for the last 20 years, there were definitely no negative opinions.

[leon-iv]

the need for such ships as part of the air defense echelon is not bad. The question is how this corvette will interact with the provider. I say the point of saying without knowing what kind of piece of iron there is.
