071 LPD thread

Re: Type 071 LPD

this is a new bunch of type 71 LPD photos from HuDong. I had more, but since each post only allows for 5, i will just post 5 here.

Re: Type 071 LPD

the guy that normally posts the new pictures from Hudong just made a post saying that 071 LPDs full displacement is 22000 tonne, length is 180 m and width is 22 to 28 m. I have no idea where he gets this from, so can't confirm one way or another, although I do think the displacement sounds on the high side.

Re: Type 071 LPD

Hi tphuang, could you tell me which Chinese forum you got these information? Is that superbig? I heard this forum is rising very fast.

Thanks

re: PLAN Type 071 LPD & its Landing Craft

I think the LPD will be used to carry AAVs. The main equiments of PLAN marines are AAVs.

Re: Type 071 LPD

Hello friends.

First I have to tell you that you are doing great work here. Thank you.
Can you give me contact details of a person who is working in LPD project in HuDong?
I am from Turkey and Turkish Navy is also interested in having a LPD. Please write to my private e-mail: [email protected]

Regards.

Re: Type 071 LPD

Man, I have to say this is not an efficient way to collect that kind of information.

Take a look at this picture of the back of the 071, I do think it is about 21-22m wide on the bottom. Using the worker as a guide, the inside space is about 16-17meters wide.

Re: Type 071 LPD

by the looks of it, i am guessing it can land 6 helicopters on its deck.

I think it can only handle 4 Mi-17 chopper for a combine landing...

Re: Type 071 LPD

are you guys talking about simultaneous landings? It would be great if it can handle just two of mi17 sized choppers, and even that seems a bit optimistic. Anything more is impossible. Since we don't have any accurate data, its hard to tell if its one or two.
