 PLA NAVY MODERNISATION: A
CRITICAL ANALYSIS

28 Dec 2023 42
 CHINESE MILITARY DIPLOMACY- PAKISTAN

TYPE 054 A/P Frigates

Triple cell suite for HARBAH AShM instead of dual quad cell config for
C802

Type 730 CIWS instead of FL 3000N PDMS

SR 2410C 3D ESA radar

- Strategic partnership to contain India
- Build up of expertise in terms of support
facilities, maintenance, spares and weapons
CM 802 AShM (Export version of YJ-12) support and skill set (human capital).

28 Dec 2023 43
CHINESE MILITARY DIPLOMACY- PAKISTAN
- Joint collaboration with China
JF 17 THUNDER - Can’t be employed from carrier
- Commonality in weapons with
J-15, weapons stowage facility
development.

28 Dec 2023 44
CHINESE MILITARY DIPLOMACY- PAKISTAN

C - 802

- Maritime strike squadron of PAF has

same weapons as is used by the PLA (N)
carrier based aircraft J-15

- Implies Aircraft Carrier’s OTR at

Gwadar can include rearming.

•FSS

28 Dec 2023 52
 ANALYSIS OF AIRCRAFT CARRIER

Sustainability – 20 days with FSS

•J-15 with reduced capability

•Sortie generation rate – 6 waves/day

•Aircrew qualification and capability

28 Dec 2023 53
 ANALYSIS OF TYPE 055
DESTROYERS
Two Type 055 deployable in IOR

Part of CSG/ SAG

•Sustainability – 07 days without FSS/ 40 days with FSS

•2/3rd SAMs for protection

28 Dec 2023 54
 ANALYSIS OF TYPE 054A FRIGATES

Mainstay of CSG operations

•Better sustainability and attack capability

•Two Helos Z9-EC for Air ASW effort

28 Dec 2023 55
 ANALYSIS OF TYPE 056 CORVETTES

Low endurance of 07 days – without FSS

•Limited attack capability

•Coastal defence and part of own A2AD complex

• Employment likely to be ‘Taiwan’/ SCS Centric

28 Dec 2023 56
 ANALYSIS OF EXPEDITIONARY
CAPABILITY
Type 075 & Type 071 unlikely to be deployed for combat in IOR in
near future (2025)

•AOA SCS Island Chains

•12 (40%) LST (L) may be deployed near ANC

•Max two battalions can be deployed

28 Dec 2023 57
 ANALYSIS OF PLA NAVY SSN/SSK

2-3 SSN deployable in IOR

•Close support of CSG

•10 SSK for littoral warfare/ choke points

•Limited endurance of SSK view entry from Sunda/Lombok Straits

and extended distances

•No Re-arming capability in BoB

ANALYSIS OF MINING & MCM CAPABILITY

Primary deployment of MCMVs – Taiwan Straits

•Limited mine deployment capability with submarines

•No air effort for mining in IOR/ANC

•Defensive mining advantageous for ANC towards sea denial
