075 LHD thread

Hainan and Guangxi exercising together. After passing comprehensive assessments, both ships have achieved combat effectiveness.

Captain of Guangxi, Xu Ce (许策).

Self-explanatory.

Defense and countermeasures.

for decades on the Type 071 LPD we seen either LCAC operations or helicopters and low tempo

last few years we started to see both which is good

good to see on Type 075 LHD from almost day 1 both simultaneous operations of LCAC and helicopters high temp as in 6 x Z8 on deck rotors on and taking off

also 6 simultaneous landings in sequence

another step towards amphibious operations landing troops by air and sea from a warship and then recovering the assets

Do we know what the airgroup on these LHD's typically is? I'm guessing 12 x Z8C, some Z9, Z20 to come. Anything else? Z10?
