December 24 is the 25th anniversary of the service of the "Bisheng" ship of the Chinese Navy. On the day of the 25th birthday of the "Bisheng" ship, the Navy also released a birthday photo of the "Bisheng" ship. The photo shows the vertical launch device on the front deck of the "Bisheng" ship launching missiles. The "Bisheng" ship is the Navy's first comprehensive test ship . One of its main responsibilities is to test various shipborne weapon systems. Therefore, it is not unusual for the "Bisheng" ship to launch missiles, but the missile launched by the "Bisheng" ship this time is very "rare"!
Picture of the Bi Sheng ship launching a new missile
As can be seen from the above high-definition photo, the missile launched by the "Bisheng" ship is obviously not our country's Haihongqi-9B air defense missile. Although it is difficult to judge the length of this missile from the photo, the Haihongqi-9B air defense missile has fins, and the missile in the photo does not have fins. Secondly, this missile is not the YJ-21 hypersonic missile. The picture below is our country’s YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile. You can see that the missile launched by the YJ-21 and the "Bisheng" ship is also significantly different.

Of course, this missile does not look like the YJ-18 anti-ship missile , because the YJ-18 anti-ship missile also has elastic wings. Judging from the size of this missile, it is not a relatively small ship-based missile such as the Haihongqi-16. From this, it can be seen that the missile launched by the "Bisheng" ship this time should be a brand new ship-based missile. Since they are not comparable to several missiles currently in service in the Navy and have been publicly unveiled, we can compare them with land missiles. As soon as we changed our thinking, we immediately found a missile that is very similar to the missile launched by the "Bisheng" ship this time. This is my country's land-based anti-missile missile.

China's land-based anti-missile missiles are different from land-based Hongqi-9B, Hongqi-22 and other anti-aircraft missiles. They have always been very mysterious and there are few public reports. However, there are few but not none. For example, the Air Force of the Central Theater Command recently released on social media In an article called "Strengthening towards the future, we are the Air Force of the Central Theater Command", a video inserted in the article shows the launch of a certain type of anti-missile missile in my country. Since the specific model and name of the missile were not stated in the article, netizens gave this anti-missile missile the nickname "Defend the Gyeonggi Bomb" based on the six words "Defend the Gyeonggi Land" attached to the picture!
The Gyeonggi Defense Missile
From the size and shape of the missile, it can be seen that the missile launched by the "Bisheng" ship this time is indeed very similar to the "Gyeonggi Defense Missile". Sea-based anti-missile missiles are an important part of a country's anti-missile system. Anti-missile missiles carried by ships can be deployed deep into the ocean and can form the first line of interception defense. Currently, the new main ships of the US Navy and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force are equipped with sea-based anti-missile systems. Our country has currently installed a land-based anti-missile system, and the biggest difficulty of the anti-missile system is accurate interception. As long as you master this technology, it is not difficult to deploy the land-based anti-missile system on ships. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the image of the "Bisheng" ship launching a new type of missile released by the official media means that our country's sea-based anti-missile system will soon debut!
The Bisheng comprehensive test ship
Our country's technical strength in the missile field has ranked among the top. Our country has the world's largest variety and most advanced performance of various ballistic missiles , as well as subsonic / supersonic cruise missiles . At the same time, our country is also the first country to install hypersonic missiles . In recent years, our country has disclosed six mid-course anti-missile interception tests. All six anti-missile tests were successful. Therefore, it is currently not technically difficult for our country to develop an advanced sea-based anti-missile system.The vertical launch system carried by my country's 055 destroyer is currently the largest vertical launch system in the world. This design brings unlimited possibilities for the missile matching of the 055 destroyer. It is not a problem to load long-range anti-ship missiles , air defense missiles, hypersonic missiles and anti-missile missiles. From this point of view, the 055 destroyer is the most suitable ship platform for our country's sea-based anti-missile system!
