Apart from the military application, vessels of this type are really useful for disaster management / civilian evacuation / humanitarian relief operations.

This is the future of helicarriers imo. Offloading medium/small drones from the main carriers and onto these makes a lot of sense. (Especially if you are the US and have STOVL fighter jets)

a 076 plus a few destroyers and frigates can form a very powerful assault group.. 076 can launch drones to survey and lock on targets.. they can either launch other drones or the destroyers launch missiles to destroy the targets....

How exciting! Considering Israeli and Ukrainian armed forces prefer using Chinese civilian drones over US military drones! I can’t imagine what PLAN drone’s capabilities are! 🎉

All China needs to do is to build 2 more such super aircraft carriers to dominate the South China Sea and East China Sea to block off any US interference in this region. This will also counter the naval threat from Japan. When China reaches to build the 6th Carrier Group, the goal to protect China would have been achieved.

Once a landing zone is secured, the 075 and 076 will be shuttling a continuous stream of helicopter landings of troops and equipment. Hundreds of landings per hour. Continuous drone surveillance will prevent any interference. Landing zones will quickly proliferate, each supported by their own drone swarms.

This China's 076 carrier warship, together with 055, 022 missile warships could be agile, versatile and very powerful offensive and defensive weaponry safeguarding China sovereignty n national interests well.

Didn't you predict this earlier? Congradulations

[viperbaron]

The graphic showed a tiltrotor aircraft flying along side the ship. Do you have info on a Chinese tiltrotor?

i always use Type 076 Carrier in Modern Warships and its very good against Submarine

[alexrahardjazh]

Reminds me of aoe 3 Fu Chuan Chinese ships that train and also callibre as b8g as Frigate or men at wat ships. This ships will be most likely served as amphibious ships as well as light carriers ships. Heavier than cruiser and other LHD yet lighter than ordinary carrier

[nimaiiikun]

it will be interesting to see catapults on a straight deck. might be the first time in a very long time.

[picandvideo]

China already has 6G dedicated for military. Military drones are under military 6G infrastructure. Thousands of drones can be launched at once.

The 076 must have an angled deck for recovering fixed-wing UAVs, otherwise I can't imagine how inefficient the recovering operation would be...

[pathat]

China does not need aircraft carriers within the first and second island chains. These amphibious landing ships are well suited for operating within the first and second island chains. The aircraft carriers could operate in the third island chain

Great China 🇨🇳 ever great 👍 in the world 🌎

[danis]

The Great China ❤️ Taiwan forever .
Because, genetically speaking, China & Taiwan is absolutely one-blood one heart .

[danielmartin]

I saw one comment in the video with an assertion of something being an entirely new way of construction. Can anyone offer clarification of what was meant?

Another enjoyable and fantastic installment.

PLAN is collecting naval ships just as easily as we would collect Pokémon cards.
