They have training with soviet before on carrier landing

the one training them are veteran from then. Although, there a few copy from american style but carrier operation is pretty much a public information available online including the manual

they are sure to buy unlike us want dont want like that. If me, even if i am the seller sure fed up with this types of customer.
anyway, it not always the armed forces fault is our leadership

the central government should refocus on updating our armed forces instead of ensuring their political survivability

Nigerian military buys Chinese-built MRAPs to combat Islamic insurgents

Model of the CS/VP3 MRAP from various viewing angles

In order to more effectively combat the Boko Haram militants in Nigeria, the military has purchased up to 30 Chinese-made CS/VP3 MRAPs, popularly known as 'Bigfoot'. Until recently the Nigerian military has had difficulties in combating the militants, mostly due to outdated military assets and questionable tactics. The current equipment, which feature many converted vehicles such as pickup trucks and commercial-grade transports have been proven vulnerable to the militant's ambushes and IED roadside bombs.

The Nigerian military, despite being one of the largest and well-funded military in Africa, with an annual budget of $3.7 Billion USD has recently been plagued with severe corruption and questionable defense procurements.

The purchase represents a major step in the increasing purchase of Chinese-made defense assets by African countries. In recent years Chinese defense firms have developed a good relationship with many African nations and have acquired sizeable amounts of defense contracts with these nations. These include the supply of small arms, artillery and armored vehicles.

also i think Government should think back procurement with local tot/ip which just give cost procurement higher and higher. as results just give used up a lot procurement budget.i means not totally no tot/ip but just more reduce abit.

PLA Navy introduces ASW version of the Jiangdao-class Type 056 corvette


The PLA has introduced into active service a version of the Type 056 corvette which has been optimized for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). As of press time, 4 Type 056 ASW corvettes have been inducted into service (Numbers 593, 594, 598 and 599). The ASW corvettes, designated as Type 056A, has a specially built ASW detection suite integrated into the stern area, in which a retractable hatch & winch system houses a variable depth/ towed sonar array.

The Type 056A will retain the original Type 056's basic armament systems (76mm gun, two 30mm cannons, one 8-cell SAM launcher & two triple-barrel torpedo launcher) except for the two double C-803 Anti-ship missile launchers, which will be replaced with a light ASROC launcher system, probably a CY-1 or CY-2.

too complex, not ready understand what u say...

Type 056 Corvette take first steps to international markets


Type 056 Corvette Meizhou

Following the successful performance of the Thai Navy's Pattani Class corvettes, which are effectively a Type 056 prototype system and the Type 056s already in PLA Navy service, the Chinese CSSC shipyards (ltd) have been awarded contracts from the Nigerian and Bangladeshi Navies for the order of 2 Type 056 corvettes respectively each for their navies.

The low cost of the useful 1300 Ton corvettes, purported to be about only $80-90 Million USD per basic unit has enticed other smaller nations to consider the Type 056 corvettes as a potential addition to their naval forces. These countries include Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Kazakhstan. The PLAN currently has 17 operational Type 056s in service out of the projected 45 first batch of ships that are scheduled to be in full service by 2020.

Thailand expand navy, Indonesia expand navy. Meanwhile Malaysia sit quietly in corner.

msia increase petrol..

Not only type 056， 054A frigate also do the same think, also install ASW with TAS sonar, 054A VLS already include ASROC anti-submarine missile.

Probably different case, Type 054 Frigate is more like multi-purpose warship so of course la install ASW weapons. The basic Type 056 class is a small corvette for basic offshore patrol duties only, I think that limits any multi-purpose use (don't have the space for extra sensors, weapons & computers beyond the basic loadout),

So that's why they have to develop specialized Anti-Sub, Anti-Surface, Anti-Air and command versions of the corvettes with extra specialized electronics gear & weapons for each variant while sacrificing some other capability. For ASW version, they remove the Anti-ship missile launcher & replace with ASROC launcher, in Anti-air version they remove Anti-Ship missile launcher & install extra SAM launchers and in Anti-ship version they remove SAM launcher & install extra Anti-ship missiles. For command versions, they will remove most of the weapons systems to make way for better radar systems and command & communications gear. I think this is forced upon designers due to the small size of the ships.

Also because of these plans designers of Type 056 installed a 'plug & play' system, where the space and capability to install specialized electronics gear, radar systems and weapons for each specialized variant can be installed on a basic hull without major remodifications. So in production, the shipyards can produce a lot of modular blank hulls and at the fitting-out stage the user navy can choose what variant of Type 056 that they want for service,whether basic or specialized. That's why they can build 22 ships in 24 months, modularity is the key.

Also I heard rumors that PLA Navy already have plans to order a 2nd batch after the current batch of 43 ships is done. Seems like the PLA Navy brass just love this ship class!.
