Previously, the PLAN troops have reaped many results
in promoting the development of multi-platform landing equipment. New
types of equipment including dock landing ship and air cushion landing
craft have been commissioned to the PLAN in succession, and the research
on large landing ship also harvested success. The rapid development
of various landing equipment has laid a sound foundation for systematic
construction.
According to a briefing, the Armaments Department of the PLAN will
continue to tackle key problems to facilitate the establishment of
multi-platform landing equipment systems and eliminate the loopholes.
As an example of the efforts, a new type of air cushion landing crafts
once serving in the Chinese naval escort taskforces will be commissioned
to the PLAN in a row. Such landing crafts adopt home-made high-power
gas turbines and hover-fans for stable driving force, showing sound
adaptability to various battlefields.
In addition, the navy will also focus on enhancing the overall information
level of landing equipment systems so as to further elevate the information
exchange and precise-strike capabilities of landing equipment.
