Re: Type 071 LPD

Can someone with a knowledge of PLAN radars ID these three: "A" looks like the fire control radar that is normally mounted on the Type-730 CIWS to my eyes:

Re: Type 071 LPD

My quess is the following:

A: Type 344 fire control radar
B: Type 364 air/surf search (as fitted in 052B/C and 054/A inside the dome)
C: Type 362 air/surf search like in some many major chinese surface combatants.

It's pretty much the same radar suite as in 054 with the Ak-630s...

Interesting article:

解放军某新型登陆装备日前在长江进行下水试验，据军报透露，这是一种解放军自行研制的新型装备，已经取得了突破性进展。
　　据《解放军报》报道，这种装备有重庆军代局研制，并在长江一河道内进行了泅渡试验。
报道透露，这种战车可以在比较恶劣的水文条件下作战。尽管在试验时战车出现失控状况，但驾驶人员却没有人身危险。而此前，该部门在进行水上试验时曾发生过亡人事故。
报道指出，该研制单位不仅从事新装备的研究，而且注重在传统装备上进行改进，从而适应解放军部队向信息化转型的需要.
报道透露，由于解放军部队装备的落后在向信息化转变过程中，人才优势弥补了这一缺陷，通过进行科学改造，解放军的现有装备可以进行信息化演练
此外，该研制单位还研制了某型自行火炮装备，目前已经交付部队。
据了解，由于解放军近期的建军目标仍然以解决台湾问题为主要目标，因此加大了对登陆演习的演练以及对登陆装备的提升，不但自行研制各种登陆舰船，而且计划从俄罗斯进口先进的气垫船以弥补登陆部队的不足

basically mentions a new type of vehicle used in crossing water bodies and such. Also talks about a lab producing a self powered artillery unit and that it's equipping PLA.
also, at the moment, they are increasing amphibious exercises and improving amphibious equipments, not only developing different different amphibious ships, but also planning to import advanced Russia's Zubr.
