those Kilo? If you stuck with the current Russian arms trouble news, you will doubt whether those Kilo, together with the Sovremenny would be able to be delivered on time
while for anti-subs, honestly, the Taiwanese and the Japs are more experienced, and more well equipped than the PLAN
Those so-called third generation planes can be compared with the F-16 Block 20? Let's ask how many of them can launch the AA-12 and/or the PL-12 first
Yes, PLAN has the largest landing fleet in Asia in number of boats.
However there is a hidden game inside it, that is the tonnage of those landing vessels. MOST PLAN landing vessels are small ones, LCM-type, while the larger LST was still a minor fleet in PLAN, and the PLAN still lack the LSD/LPD type platform, as well as large air cushion vehicle. That's why PLAN always emphasis on using civilian vessels for landing, because of the lack of the capacity, but that will bring another trouble.
Yes, again, the engines of the 039A/040 was from Germany, but please do check what MTU396 was, it was actually a CIVILIAN engine...XD, while the Z-10 used the PT-6A engine from Canada, again another civilian product.
