Project 956EM Sovremenny class. Ship-to-Ship Missiles 3M-80E Moskit (SS-N-22 Sunburn) active/passive radar homing to 160km at Mach 2.5; warhead 300kg; sea-skimmer Air-Defense Missiles. This ship appears to be solid designs and well thought out. The only thing is, those ships would be considered screens in the American Navy. Until they deploy ships capable of true power projection (aircraft carriers) the Chinese Navy will be a regional threat at best. That said the Chinese are believed to be training crews on the carrier Varyag which was purchased from the Ukrainians. Papa Chuck
My Blog is about my family, love ones, good friends I’ve met along the way and my journey through life. Please enjoy my posts since after all it’s my 73 year old journey.
In my younger days I was a dashing sailor with a girl in every port but I now look like Mr. McGoo - I wonder what happen in the past 72 years. In 2002 I came to the Philippines fell in love and I have been ever since with my wife Beng & our son Junior. I guess I'm lucky old Irishman!
