PLAN breaking news, pics, & videos

Has this been shared before? Not sure how credible this is, but it appears to be a screen capture of an academic paper. The text states that Type 346 radar onboard carrier Liaoning has 5,000 T/R modules per face, with a detection range greater than 450km, and can track 100 targets simultaneously. So far, four variants of Type 346 have been developed, which include the original variant, the first ship-based variant, 346A, and 346B. The 346B radar sets installed on Type 055 destroyers have a detection range greater than 400km.

Video from November 2022 that appears to describe PLAN carrier battle group doctrine, I'm not certain how credible the uploader is so take it with grain of salt

that talks about future trends in vertical launch systems. Some tidbits are interesting, such as the need to develop 1) peripheral cells similar to Mk-57 in order to adapt to future hull forms, 2) a compact modular VLS for smaller ships, 3) electro-magnetic vertical launching technology, 4) a new VLS system for China's next generation of very long-range missiles (2000km range, mach 5-6) that are expected to come online in the next 10 years.

One thing I find interesting is that the paper was first received in 2010, and revised in 2019.
It makes me wonder just how "up to date" the contents of this paper actually was.

I missed that foot note about the receiving date. Now I too wonder how thoroughly the paper has been updated, specifically with regard to the need for a new VLS to accommodate ultra-long range missiles... Although, in the future trends (未来发展趋势) section, the existence of 055 and its CCLs is acknowledged, so it maybe safe to assume the VLS for ultra-long range missiles does not yet exist. The cooperative engagement aspect the paper mentions is less dependent on the VLS than the sensors and command system. To me, the question mark falls on the compact VLS and the peripheral VLS and whether they remain relevant today.

According to this, AI was used to design a warship's electrical system, more accurately and much faster than a team of humans. It's SCMP, so I wonder how accurate it it. I very much doubt the 100% accurate claim, there's no way the final design didn't need some tweaking. Also, I wonder what warship used the AI design process?

It would've been worth at least a curious gander, but then they just had to quote the US Navy Secretary Carlos "Chinese Slave Shipbuilders" Del Toro -

He said the US had the advantage of a higher quality labour force. “They [China] use slave labour in building their ships, right – that’s not the way we should do business ever,” Del Toro said. “In many ways our shipbuilders are better shipbuilders.”

They're completely projecting because they themselves rely on slave labor. A ton of low end grunt work for military industrial complex relies on prisoners paid a penny an hour. Anytime the Western imperialists throw shade at anyone else, you can have a 99.9999% confidence that they're not only lying but actually doing it themselves.

How does the cited performance of 346B compared to American equivalent? I know there are nuances but bear with me.

I would be cautious from drawing conclusions performance from the paper.
It is doubtful that true performance parameters would be disclosed in these kind of papers (and that also goes for radars and such systems advertised globally as well).
