China currently has two 075 type amphibious assault ships still outfitting at the dock, but there has been news on the Internet that the subsequent design of the 076 type amphibious assault ship has appeared and will have more Strong firepower delivery. The Type 076 was first exposed by the American media, but after the China Shipbuilding Industry tender announcement, the rumors of the Type 076 were definitely not groundless. The domestic military fans were all enthusiastic. Only those of us netizens and the Western media took the 075 ship favorably. Tell us there is a bigger amphibious ship will appear again! West: China is too fast.
Imagination Picture of Type 076 Amphibious Assault Ship
According to relevant information, the tonnage of the Type 076 amphibious assault ship is about 30,000 to 40,000 tons, with combined diesel-fueled power and an amphibious landing dock. The difference between the cabin and the 075 is that it is fully electric and equipped with electromagnetic ejection, which can take off and land large fixed-wing UAVs and stealth short-range take-off and landing carrier-based aircraft, such as the J-31. This means that in addition to the take-off and landing functions of large aircraft carrier fighters, the 076 also has the landing function of combat vehicles and infantry, which greatly strengthens the army's landing operations capabilities. Unlike the manned carrier aircraft, the UAV is very light even if it is a large aircraft, and the taxi distance can be very short, so even a conventional aircraft carrier or even an amphibious assault ship can easily take off and land the UAV.

Although the 30-ton inboard elevator used by the 076 can satisfy carrier-based fighters such as the F-15 and F-16, it is more reasonable. The choice is still a drone. The cost of the best unmanned attack aircraft is 1/5 of that of Wuzhi. But drones are not afraid to sacrifice this is the biggest advantage. Putting it all together, the money to raise 1 Wuzhi can raise 10 UAVs at least, and it must be a good large-scale observation and combat UAV. What Wu Zhi can do is now the drone can do it all. As an amphibious assault ship, landing is the main business of the 076. Carrying fighter jets not only affects amphibious operations, but also cannot provide strong aviation power like a regular aircraft carrier. It is better to carry a drone with a small size and strong attack capability. select.

076 equipped with unmanned attack aircraft, its mission positioning is similar to that of vertical take-off and landing fighters such as F35B and AV-8B, which can provide for landing troops It far exceeds the ground strike capability and support capability of armed helicopters. Compared with the ship-based Z-10 used by the 075, the stealth attack UAV can not only eliminate the enemy's tightly defended high-value targets by virtue of its stealth advantage and ammunition mounting capability, but it can also provide landing forces with a stronger payload range. Provide more timely support capabilities. The combination of attack drones and armed helicopters makes the 076 have stronger amphibious combat capabilities, which is very important for the possible future battle for the unification of the motherland.
076 not only pays attention to the current cross-sea landing operations, but also considers future deployment and use in the Indian Ocean, the Middle East and beyond. The Type 076 two-attacks equipped with drones and even a small number of fixed-wing carrier-based fighters will be able to strengthen the frontier presence and deterrence of China’s military forces under low- and medium-threat situations, just like the U.S. class and 黄蜂级 equipped with F35B. Safeguard national interests further afield.
Domestic GJ-11 UAV
Of course, the 076 two-attack two-attack, which is in the design and development stage, still has a long way to go. Humans and machines also need to solve some technical problems. But the emergence of 076 shows that my country's military industry system can come up with unique solutions according to its own needs, and this development speed is more worthy of Western attention.
