ReplyDeleteFirst Lanzhou (170) was laid down in late 2002, launched in 2003 and commissioned in 2004.
Second Haikou (171) was launched in 2003 and entered service in 2005.
Two additional ships this class under construction after the lengthy testing process was completed and PLAN was satisfied with the design with few miner changes.
All ship use four Chinese active phased array (AESA)radar covering all four sides
These radar guide the 48 HHQ-9 long-range air defence missiles from eight 6-cell vertical launch system (VLS).
HHQ-9 uses individual VLS which is inlike the Russian ‘revolver’ VLS design for S300
Missile is cold-launched vertically and once it clears the VLS like Russian S-300 and rocket motor ignition is done after that
Because of its concept similarity to the US AEGIS air defence system, this is often call Red US AEGIS.
