The day before, you and I began to admire the successes of our Chinese neighbors in military shipbuilding. More precisely, the fact that they have managed to build in recent years. The first part of their new products is presented at the link above. Well, we continue to get acquainted with the second part.

Project 022 Khubei-class missile boats. Displacement - 225 tons. It's a long time to look for them, because from 2004 to the present, 83 of them have been made. Therefore, just a few photos and information about these ships
33. Project 022 missile boats of the Houbei class replaced the Project 021 boats of the Huangfeng class, which entered service between 1960 and 1980. The first in its class small missile boat was laid down in April 2004 at the Hudong-Zhonghu shipyard in Shanghai.
34. The tasks of the ship are to patrol the coastal waters of China, which consists in operational control of the East China, South China and Yellow Seas, in ensuring economic interests inside and outside the exclusive economic zone of China, in carrying out naval operations to resolve conflicts in disputed sea territories and the destruction of surface ships of the enemy aircraft carrier strike groups.
35. In ten years, the PRC has produced 83 Houbei-class missile boats, which are part of three flotillas. It should be noted that these warships are made taking into account the reduction in the level of radar, visual, acoustic and infrared signatures. Thus, the hull and superstructure have a slight slope, the hatch holes of the missile boat have uneven edges, similar to the American F-117 bombers.
36. On board the missile boat are 8 fourth-generation ASCM missiles, each capable of hitting a target at a distance of up to 50 nautical miles. Missile launchers are located aft. In addition to them, there are other weapons systems on board - a 30-mm six-barreled artillery complex AK-630 and two launchers with 12 surface-to-air missiles located in the bow of the ship. Finally, the speed of the ship allows you to literally get away from enemy torpedoes, since the latter have not yet reached such a high speed.
China's nuclear submarines is a topic about which there is little more information than nothing at all. Therefore, even here it will be necessary to manage only with the general characteristics of the new nuclear submarines available to China.
Strategic nuclear submarines, type 094 Jin. Displacement - 9000 tons.
37. The design of the 094 type nuclear submarine began in the late 80s - early 90s. According to unverified data, assistance to the Chinese designers was provided by specialists from the Russian Design Bureau (Experimental Design Bureau) "Rubin".
38. Construction of the first submarine began in 1999 and was launched in July 2004. The second was launched in 2007. Both boats were reportedly tested without actually launching ballistic missiles.
39. Submarine type "094 Jin" is capable of carrying 12 ballistic missiles. A three-stage solid-propellant ballistic missile JuLang-2 is intended for arming submarines of this type. It is a modification of the DongFeng-31 land-based intercontinental ballistic missile. Its maximum range is 7000-8000 km.
40. The first submarine entered service in 2004 and received hull number 409. At least two Jin class submarines are expected to be in service. According to Chinese media reports, the 6th submarine of this type was launched in March 2010.
Strategic nuclear submarines of the 096 "Tan" type. The hypothetical displacement is 20,000 tons
41. There is not even a single normal photo from this SSBN. However, according to available information, type 096 SSBN has a length of 150 m and a width of 20 m. The boat has a double-hull structure, two pressurized water reactors and two steam generating units. Speed - up to 32 knots. In addition, the use of high-strength materials will provide her with a diving depth of up to 600 m. The submarine is equipped with modern sound insulation systems, which makes the boat quiet (the noise level is estimated at 95-100 dB; for boat 094 - 115 dB). Analysts suggest that the Chinese have already completed the construction of one submarine of this type.
Project 093 "Shan" multipurpose nuclear submarines. Displacement - 7000 tons.
42. Boats of the "Shan" type have a relatively short hull with streamlined contours of the "Albakor type". They have a two-hull architectural design and are equipped with one low-noise propeller. The tail unit is cruciform, and the front horizontal unit, like on other Chinese nuclear submarines, is located on the fence of the retractable devices.
The power plant consists of two water-cooled nuclear reactors, characterized by low noise, and one turbo-gear unit.
43. The boat is equipped with the latest Chinese hydroacoustic and torpedo armament. Six 533 mm torpedo tubes are located in the bow of the ship. Of these, you can fire torpedoes (including the latest remote-controlled ones, as well as those with a wake-homing system), YJ-8-II anti-ship cruise missiles (differing from the YJ-8 by the possibility of an underwater launch and a maximum firing range increased to 80 km) and, probably, underwater-launched cruise missiles designed to destroy ground targets.
44. The first submarine entered service in 2007. At least two Shan-class submarines are expected to be in service. It is assumed that by the second half of the next decade, China will have built eight to ten boats of the 093rd project.
Project 095 multipurpose nuclear submarines. Displacement unknown.
45. Is there a piece of open information about this nuclear submarine? According to the Taiwanese magazine Global Defense, China, in complete secrecy, will initiate the construction of at least three Type 095 nuclear multipurpose submarines of the fourth generation. The lead boat of this class was built in 2008. These boats are characterized as low-noise attack submarines, they are under construction in Bohai, the factory is located "completely underground" to prevent surveillance by spy satellites. The plant has an "underground pier" capable of withstanding a nuclear strike. Submarines are equipped with long-range cruise missiles for striking ground targets, anti-ship and anti-submarine missiles. The commissioning of new nuclear submarines will allow China to reduce the gap with the United States in this area of naval technology "by 20 years."
Diesel-electric submarines of the 041 Yuan project. Displacement - 2500 tons:
46. Any exact characteristics of the type 041 submarine are not given. However, it is known that they are a further development of submarines of the 039A type (Song - according to the western classification). The Russian school of submarine design had a strong influence on the architectural and layout appearance of Yuan. The boats of type 041 are smaller in size than the submarine of project 877/638 (Kilo - according to NATO classification), but larger than the submarine Amur (with the last Yuan it is also similar in the placement of horizontal rudders on the fence of retractable devices). This gave the magazine Kanwa News the name of the submarine type 041 - Chinese Kilo-Amur, that is, "Chinese Kilo-Amur".
47. These boats will be armed with torpedoes and mines, as well as YJ-8 (C-801) anti-ship cruise missiles. For surface navigation, the submarines are equipped with MTU 16V396 SE84 diesel engines, which are manufactured in Shanghai under license.
48. For 2015, it is known about 7 boats of this project in the Chinese Navy.
Diesel submarines of project 636 "Varshavyanka". Displacement - 3950 tons. Built in Russia.
49. The hull of the boat is double, with 6 watertight compartments. The Kalibr missile system can be installed on boats of the 636M version. The TA is recharged in 15 seconds. Travel range:
- economical speed of 3 knots - 400 miles;
- in RDP mode at a speed of 7 knots - 7500 miles.
50. Submarines of this class were supposed to be built in large quantities for export to the countries of the Warsaw Pact, therefore the project bears that name. The boat is designed to combat enemy submarines and surface ships, to protect naval bases, sea coast and sea communications.
51. From 1998 to 2005, ten submarines of this project were built by order of the Chinese Navy.
That, in fact, is all. 90 percent of what was built after 2000 was presented to you. There is only one moral here - we must be friends with China, not forgetting about our Strategic Missile Forces.
Thank you for attention!
