Hmmm … a Y-8 with a sting !!!!???? … a new version for ASW with a MAD ???
No, it isn’t.

More…
More nice shot of L-15 … 😎
A nice pic of 171 …
yep, as I thought, no 360° cover for your Rif system, only the aft arc…
There would be no hangar either??? I hope we get a nice picture of the backpart of this ship, I can hardly believe it doesn’t have a hangar.
Unfortunately, it has no hangar. And it has Rif installed … 😀
Time will approve everything …
Check this one …
It’s not 051B, but a new type with Rif area defence system installed…
Have no idea now if it’s the rumored 051C …
Why building this one? Because of the high risky 052C …
Time will prove everything ….
How can you name something 039A when it’s not a derivative of the base class, 039? This one looks nothing like a Song and if it’s real would be a derivitive of the Kilo.
Does 052B/C look like the 052A (112 and 113)? And does 051B (167) look like the 051(A)? :rolleyes:
More hot photoes …
So 170 is finished and is moving in its own power now?
170 hasn’t been finished, just a test trip.
And only 168 enters service now …
168(052B), 169(052B), 170(052C) and 525(054) in ZhouShan yesterday!
The missile is believed to be YJ-12A (or even YJ-62)…
YJ-12A installed on test ship 970 …

YJ-12A model installed on 170 (052C) in May …

And in June …
039A is the 039 with a reworked sail.
No, the one you mentioned is named 039G (G means GAI in chinese pinyin) indeed. The real 039A is believed to be the above new sub.
039G …
Several months ago, same place, but with a different sub …
052B destroyer:
2 x SA-N-12
16 x C803
1 x 100 mm stealth main gun
2 x Type 730 CIWS
