Since the entry into service of the Kunlun Shan, the first large Type 071 assault ship in 2007, the Chinese assault fleet has undergone very profound changes, going from an imposing fleet but limited in projection capabilities of more than 072 tank transport or LST Type 073 and Type 5000, ships of less than 6 tons with no real long-range projection capabilities, to a fleet today fielding 071 large amphibious assault ships LPD Type 25.000 of 40.000 tons, and two 075-ton Type XNUMX assault helicopter carriers.

The People's Liberation Army perfects the use of ferries for amphibious assault

If the War in Ukraine demonstrated one thing for sure, it is that long-range missile and artillery strikes were unable to significantly and lastingly alter the resistance capabilities of a prepared adversary, and that to carry out an assault against such forces, it is essential to have a massive force capable of imposing itself quickly and opening the breaches necessary for the maneuver. The situation is even more delicate when it comes to carrying out an amphibious assault, especially when it comes to confronting a well-equipped and well-trained army like the Taiwanese forces.…

Cruiser Type 055, LHD Type 075: the frantic expansion of the Chinese fleet continues

Since the blackout imposed by the Chinese authorities on the dissemination of information relating to the People's Liberation Army, and the Chinese defense industry, the collection of information on the expansion of the Chinese fleet has become well more difficult in the civil domain. In the naval field, the information collected is essentially based on photos taken by Chinese enthusiasts during civilian flights near the country's major shipyards, on the few satellite photos that reach the public domain, and on the rare official announcements published by the Chinese press itself. This is how we learned today from an article on the site…

China wants a new law to regulate the use of its armed force in the world

For nearly 60 years, the Chinese authorities had vilified Western international interventionism, and in particular American interventionism, swearing on its great gods that the country would never follow the American example of creating military bases all over the world. But, in 2015, Beijing announced the creation of a large military base in the small state of Djibouti, which already houses an American base and a French base, and that the PLA would deploy up to 10.000 men there permanently, creating a first sprain, and size, in the Chinese convictions so long proclaimed. It seems that today, the country is ready to take a new step, with the new project…

Military intervention in Taiwan becomes commonplace in Chinese communication

In just a few months, the Chinese international press, largely controlled by the country's central government, has profoundly changed its discourse concerning the tensions around the island of Taiwan, but also in the China Sea vis-à-vis the US Navy, and against the Indian Navy. Whereas at the start of the year, the tone was more one of denunciation of American "provocations" in the region, which could create exaggerated tensions, it now reports, in a precise and almost banal way, a military intervention against the independent island, as the likely outbreak of a conflict between Beijing and Washington or New Delhi. We have already discussed the subject...

Invasion exercises, bomber deployment: China steps up pressure on Taiwan and the United States

Little more than a day or two now passes between announcements of new provocations or new coercive measures between the United States and China. No sooner had the American Secretary of Health, Alex Azar, left Taipei after his visit than the Chinese authorities launched a series of exercises and maneuvers to once again increase the pressure on Taiwan and the American ally. The American-Taiwanese response did not take long either. The day after the visit of the American official to assure the Taiwan authorities of Washington's support, Beijing launched an exercise…

Is China starting construction of a new assault aircraft carrier?

While the first Chinese assault helicopter carrier, or LHD for Landing Helicopters Dock, Type 075 has just made its maiden voyage on July 16, the publication of a call for tenders by the Chinese Navy has stirred the sinophile defense sphere. Indeed, the APL (People's Liberation Army) would have started the preparatory work for the construction of a new class of assault aircraft carrier, or LHA for Landing Helicopter Assault, identified as the Type 076. And this ship risks strong enough to upset the balance of power already wavering in the Indo-Pacific zone. Let us recall in the preamble that, for the time being, the projection capabilities of Chinese forces are relatively limited,…
