The PLA's recent military exercises around Taiwan have attracted the attention of the whole world, and the two photos exposed in this military exercise have become the most realistic portrayal of the military power comparison between the two sides.
August 5, a local people photographed a PLA 052C class destroyer Changchun on the southwest coast of Kaohsiung Port . Following the "follow-up" was a Taiwan military's success-class patrol ship. At that time, this scene was captured by Taiwanese people. The second photo is a photo released by the People's Liberation Army on August 6. The close-up photo shows a PLA naval soldier using a telescope to observe, while the long-range photo is a rusty Taiwan Navy Jiyang-class patrol ship Lanyang.
Let’s first talk about the success-class patrol ship. This ship is based on the Perry-class frigate long hull size of the US Navy and is improved and redesigned. Originally, the Perry-class frigate undertakes anti-submarine , cohort guard and other tasks in the US Navy. As the last type of frigate of the US Navy, , the Perry class mainly emphasizes anti-submarine capabilities and has certain regional air defense capabilities. When the United States designed the ship, it emphasized its "low-cost" characteristics. The superstructure was made of a large number of aluminum alloys. Moreover, because the ship had defective hull design, the ship had cracked hulls in both the Australian Navy and the US military. It was not a particularly excellent ship, .
When it came to the hands of the Taiwan Navy, seven Chengyang-class patrol ships suddenly became main ships. It is worth mentioning that the ships were built by Taiwan under the authorization of the United States. In 2015, the US military sold two retired Perry-class frigates to Taiwan. As a replacement, the two oldest Jiyang-class patrol ships, Jiyang and Haiyang, were retired, and the number of Chengyang-class patrol ships increased to 9.
In the US Navy, all Perry-class frigates have been retired, and their mission has been replaced by the Burke-class general destroyer, which is also the last type of frigate of the US Navy. As the Taiwan Army's regional air defense force, the success level does not have phased array radar , nor does it have a general vertical launch system , and only an old single-arm missile launcher. In contrast, its "follow-up" Changchun has four-sided phased array radar and vertical launch system, which is known as the "Chinese Aegis Shield". At present, my country's navy has more advanced 052D destroyer and a 0.55-level 10,000-ton large-scale drive, which shows the gap.
, and the Jiyang-class patrol ship Lanyang in the second photo is even more backward in comparison. At least the female Perry class of the successful class patrol ship is also famous, and many countries and regions have been equipped with it except the United States. Many people have never heard of the female Knox-class of Jiyang-class. In fact, it is not a big deal for us to be ignorant. The Knox-class frigate started construction in 1965. Yes, you read that right, it was in 1965. In the 1970s, this type of ship was completely suspended. After retiring from the US military, the type of ship was also sold to Egyptian , Greek , Mexico , Spain, Thailand, Turkey and other countries. These frigates from the Taiwan Army were not even bought, but rented. This Lanyang patrol ship has been in service for more than 50 years, no wonder it is rusty in the photos.
During the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996, due to insufficient firepower of naval guns, the People's Liberation Army had to move the army's tank and towed artillery to the landing ship. As time goes by, the strength of China's navy has improved greatly compared to before. The opponent is still using the weapons of that year. We already own the 052D destroyer, the 055 100-ton destroyer, etc. Previously, the Taiwan Army discovered that the 055 100-ton destroyer appeared 37 nautical miles away from the sea outside Hualien, which made the Taiwan Army very nervous. At present, my country also owns three aircraft carriers and two 075 amphibious assault ships . The Air Force has also greatly improved compared to before. The second-rate weapons purchased and leased from the United States are destined to not change the situation of one's rise and the other.
