Thai 071E should be port of the 3rd 075. The 071 features a blunter bow. This one however, has a rounded bow, while usually the 071 bow tip is cropped. But this can be a modification to the 071 design.

The following is a hypothetical airwing for a Type 075, based on a capacity of 30 aircraft:

6 x reconnaissance rotary-wing UAVs

6 x attack helicopters

12 x Z-20 helicopters

6 x Z-18 helicopters

Working on an operational serviceability rate of around 65% would allow the following for the first waves:

4 x reconnaissance rotary-wing UAVs

4 x attack helicopters

8 x Z-20 helicopters

4 x Z-18 helicopters

Mission planning:

The reconnaissance rotary-wing UAVs and attack helicopters are airborne, preparing for the air assault.

4 x Z-20 and 2 x Z-18 helicopters are on the 6 x aircraft spots ready for launch.

4 x Z-20 and 2 x Z-18 helicopters are on the flight deck prepared to move to the aircraft spots.

Execution:

The reconnaissance rotary-wing UAVs have identified the remaining key defensive positions and the attack helicopters have delivered precise fire support.

The 8 x Z-20 helicopters deliver an Infantry Company minus (COY-), while the 4 x Z-18 helicopters deliver some of the Battalions heavy weapons.

How a Type 075 and Type 071 might work together:

In conjunction with Type 071s, LCACs bring armoured vehicles and heavy equipment ashore. Both ships can utilise each other’s LCACs, dependent upon where the most urgent need is. Likewise, the Z-18 helicopters off the Type 071s can operate off the Type 075 if that is where the requirement is.

There is excellent synergy between the two classes of ships.
