A very recent CCTV special for Type 726 LCAC (aka Wild Horse) with close and inside look at its operation and technologies. It mentioned the torturous development process to get to this stable stage since the first ship emerged in 2008. The engine is indigenous. There have been changes and improvements. They have also taken Type 726 to Gulf of Aden during the time.

I suppose they can now mass produce it now. With 8 x 071 LPD + 3 x 075 LHD currently in service or on trial, with more to come, PLAN will need anywhere from 70 to 100 of them.


I just uploaded this video but I deleted because Its later than you did, haha!
Its also talking about the 726 Mustang LCAC maximum sailing speed exceeds 50 knots. It only takes a few seconds to go from 0 to 40 knots. It only takes ten seconds for the air cushion to be filled with air. It can accurately land on the beach with an error of less than 20 meters.

He is around at PDF bad mouthing China, Chinese navy, Uyghur "fake prosecution" etc

IIRC, he has admitted in the past that he regularly trolls over there for fun. He would visit here because he was temporarily banned.

Nice screen captures from an amphibious assault exercise. No smurfs storming the beaches anymore.

No wait did I just see the Type 726 LCAC carrying a IFV sitting inside the well deck of the Type 075 LHD?

not only that did I also just witness a the Type 726 LCAC carrying a IFV moving in and out of the well deck of the Type 075 LHD?

15 years I waited for this to happen on the Type 071 LPD and within 15 weeks they did it with the Type 075

I admit when I see it, Congratulations
