Thank you Mr. Araon. As a navy enthusiast from China Mainland, it is not quite often to see such a thorough and relatively unbiased indroduction of PLAN. Here's some knowledge that is widespread among Chinese military fans about Luda(Type 051) : Originally the destroyer is armed with SY-1(上游-1), and it is said to be a parody of P-15 Termite, with a range of just about 80Km(50 miles), and it was until 1980s that the Ludas were upgraded to HY-1(海鹰-1), which is actually an improved version of SY-1. The anti-air missle adapted by Luda is actually called HHQ-7(海红旗7), which stands for "naval version of HQ7" in English. It is acutally a naval version of HQ-7(红旗-7), and it is a copy of French Crotale with limited improvements. Finally, something about Chinese people's art in naming our weapons. The HY-1's name in Chinese is actually read as "Hai Ying 1", and Hai ying (海鹰) means "sea egale" in Chinese. The HQ-7 is read as "Hong Qi 7", while the hong qi means Red Flag (红旗) in Chinese. Both two words are picked from the poems written by Chairman Mao Zedong, the founding leader of PRC. The tradition that the names or codenames of heavy weapons are picked from the poets of Mao has been inherited since 1960s and has long been cherished and recongnized by both PLA and Chinese people.
That's a bit before my time, but I am not opposed to it. Let me finish modern ships/subs and then I can do a special video on historical subs classes like the one you mention.

Another fabulous and super-informative episode Aaron. And, imagine that... you got it designed, laid down, completed and launched - - in the First Iteration!
Put into perspective these ships went into service when Kidd Class destroyers were in service and Spruance Class destroyers were first commissioned. They were retired 15 to 20 years before the last Ludas were retired in 2019-20
and now they build type 55 cruisers that kills arleigh burke destroyes in 1:1 supereasy. america devolpment is very slow and the advantage to enter world war 2 when it was already decided is now gone.
this is a very professionally made and very informative video, just for some back ground information: the Luda I class was designed and constructed for PLAN in 1970s to provide necessary military escort for chinese fleet operation in South Pacific( to support Chinese ICBM test) , so without the ICBM test we don't know if Luda class will ever exist, and just for record, in early 1980 when china was literally in honeymoon with the west, PLAN and British joined together to upgrade Luda and plan to put sea dart Sam onboard the ship, but due to the sink of ship Sheffield , PLAN cancel the project.
Lu (Lv to be exact) means Lvshun, a city which was and is an important military port for Chinese Navy all the way back to Qing Dynasty in 1800s. Not “Brigade”. Lv is the Chinese letter designated for destroyer class in PLAN.
@@banerda2334 LOL don't be so harsh on the old sonar man, you can find similar errors in old Pentagon and Agency analysis on Soviet military a little while back. Mandarin is not that well studied in the Navy outside Intelligence circle and Chinese Communists are not known for their transparency.
Yes, though they were smaller missiles and only the original Sea Wolf. This Chinese weapon I believe was an unauthorized copy of the French Naval Crotale. They also built a version of the French Super Frelon and AS.365 helicopters. As seen on the ones carried by the one Luda that carried them, the sonar's and those Italian guns too.
Hello! Taiwan just hold the launching ceremony of their first Indigenous Defense Submarine(IDS) Hai Kun (SS-711) on September 28th, 2023, a big deal in this region. Please take a look and make an episode.

Positive thinking..... when we all die at least USA will have some people still alive. To manage the orchards and the corn fields.
Great video as always! I didn't see anyone else mention it in the comment but Guangzhou is pronounced gwong-zhoe like wong with a G at the start and joe but zh instead of the J. Another excellent youtube channel covering china has hosts that used to live there and have taught me how to pronounce a number of cities better than before I watched them. Dalian is also dah-leein, that last city though i can't even begin to guess how its pronounced 😂
A monopulse radar tracking system, in its simplest form, has four horns on the antenna arranged in a square. One for transmitting the pulses. Opposite the transmitting horn is the primary receiving horn. The last two corners are the secondary horns. Each return pulse is received by the main receiver horn and both secondary receiver horns and comparators measure the phase difference between pulse as received by the different horns. One secondary horn gives the horizontal phase difference and the other gives the vertical phase difference. These two phase differences allow the antenna to be kept on the target by pointing the antenna to minimize the phase differences. The name 'monopulse' comes from how a single pulse provides both vertical and horizontal tracking information (as well as the range). Other tracking schemes require multiple pulses (sometimes even multiple antennae) to construct the tracking information. Phased array radars determine the direction of return by comparing phase differences between array elements, so monpulse tracking with a phased array radar is a built in feature; although, with a phased array radar, you are steering the transmitted beam, not the antenna array.
to be fair, I did this a year ago. the entire series is available for UA-cam Members or Patreon.com/subbrief. Final video in the series, Type055 Destroyer will be released October 15th, 2023.
I’ve never been a fan on Russia’s/USSR’s on deck canister launchers. The only benefit I could see is re loading underway by a helo flying it off & coming back with a loaded replacement tube. You could do one tube at a time.
The twin rotor Navy CH-46 could lift 7000 lbs & the CH-53 36,000 lbs externally. I doubt one of those canisters weighs more plus you could design one specifically for the specs of aircraft used. You could also sling them over during an un-rep.
Type 51 G1&2 with the Luda II kinda sounds like the French gave them a fully operational Dolphin ASW helicopter.. I wonder if there is how they got the Mark 46 torp....
20:33 have the Chinese copied from everyone? French sonar. US Torpedo. Italian gun. Although I can see the French and Italians selling their technology back then.
now it's a sub crash? The story keeps changing. Eventually, social media will get it right. I've made a video within the last two weeks addressing what happened. It's here on youtube.
@24:40 Uh the United kingdom our ship/submarine building capabilities are pretty well know at this point and it's no secret we do everything in house. A lot of European nations also have their own in house development form the ground upwards where they also take great generational leaps in shifting their platforms so kind of lost me on that bit. Like sure though they got the job done and with no external assistance at least as far as we know I do suspect they have been contracting Russian IP exchange under the table which would involve Russian Défense industry specialists being directly involved with production of these vessels but good look proofing that as they have had a lot of practice collaborating on the down low so yeah.
I love how military stuff is either insane bleeding edge sci fi at the absolute limits of technology, or else hilariously archaic stuff that got bogged down in acquisitions and being made robust for combat so you are deploying systems with have as much RAM as a Commodore 64 in the 1990's. And absolutely nothing in between.
Philosophically speaking everything is reverse engineered to some degree but the term is reserved for those who copy a design in an unauthorised defiant manner.
Hi Aaron! One question please. I find it difficult to understand (or accept) claims that the PLN's Type 055 is equal in quality and capabilities to the USN's Arleigh Burke-class. They might look the same on the outside and Chinese are exceptional at stealing/hacking/copying. But u just can't skip 40 years of development and war operations. All the weapon systems, senzors, sonar, radars... I don't believe they are at the same level. What do you think?
I have a detailed break down of the Type055 coming out on October 15th. In short, China skipped 40 years of development cost by stealing or illegally purchasing technology to create a very formidable destroyer. Contractor greed played a large role in helping the PLAN skip years, no decades, of engineering failures.
@@SubBrief Same thing they did to get their hands on the F-22 to create their own stealth fighters... And what the Soviets did with western diesel engine, anechoic coating, and propellor design to create the Kilo class (which the Chinese then copied to create their newer submarines, leapfrogging decades in submarine design).
Another fire on an assault ship the USS Bougainville under construction? June 30, 2023. Is someone out to get the assault ships? The USS Bougainville will have a well deck. Interesting.
speaking of reverse engineering, have you ever covered what happened to the former a/c carrier (1950s) HMAS Melbourne? which was sold to China for ‘scrap’ in the 1980s?
They surprisingly found the critical aviation gears like catapults and optical landing system are intact. These samples were valuable for the Chinese preliminary study of aircraft carrier started in 1989, which called Project 891. Yet Chinese could neither afford nor manufacture a carrier in 1990s, and Project 891 was halted in 1995.
Chinese engineers was really surprised at the poor design of the Melbourne, later w.hen soviet collapsed it was able to study Soviet carriers and then decided to skip steam catapults entirely.
Boilers shouldn't vibrate the hull. It's just an oil fire and large air blowers. Compared to diesels, steam is quiet. More likely the vibration was caused by poorly balanced steam turbine, reduction gear, propeller, shaft, or all four. Also if the shaft alignment isn't good it will cause a vibration and eat bearings. As the bearings start to fail it causes a lot of vibration. By the time these ships were built, boilers weren't rocket science. Boiler knowledge was at it's peak except for nuclear steam boilers. US ships built after WWII had higher pressure boilers, but it was just an extension of current technology. Technical information was available everywhere. WWII caused thousands of engineers to be taught and mountains of boiler technical information printed. All of that was easily available along with the engineers if you could read English. The French will sell anything to anybody. They sold tank optics to Russia and lots of other equipment they (or the US) might have to eventually fight.
its a premium I don't know if its for sale but they give it away in loot boxes and events like black friday it's not too hard to find and it's not a bad ship@@SubBrief
The Chines possibly copied the Japanese with making updates on the same model. If you've ever owned a Japanese car or motorbike, you have to know EXACTLY when it was made, down to the month because they made 'improvements' along the way. On another note, I'd just like to make a comment on the brave US soldier's return, after his cleverly disguised spy mission in North Korea. His name will be synonymous with using maximum ingenuity in penetrating the North Korean defenses. It was absolutely unbelievable that such a seemingly ordinary soldier could achieve the great success that he did. I'm sure his vast knowledge of North Korean interrogation methods will serve the US well for years to come, along with all the information he was able to glean on their whole military operation. 😁😁
So I understand that most of the plan is not blue water and ship per ship is much less impressive than the usn but in a hypothetical conventional war within the first island chain could the plan overwhelm the usn with sheer numbers and better replenishment of losses?
Thank you Mr. Araon. As a navy enthusiast from China Mainland, it is not quite often to see such a thorough and relatively unbiased indroduction of PLAN.
Here's some knowledge that is widespread among Chinese military fans about Luda(Type 051) : Originally the destroyer is armed with SY-1(上游-1), and it is said to be a parody of P-15 Termite, with a range of just about 80Km(50 miles), and it was until 1980s that the Ludas were upgraded to HY-1(海鹰-1), which is actually an improved version of SY-1.
The anti-air missle adapted by Luda is actually called HHQ-7(海红旗7), which stands for "naval version of HQ7" in English. It is acutally a naval version of HQ-7(红旗-7), and it is a copy of French Crotale with limited improvements.
Finally, something about Chinese people's art in naming our weapons.
The HY-1's name in Chinese is actually read as "Hai Ying 1", and Hai ying (海鹰) means "sea egale" in Chinese.
The HQ-7 is read as "Hong Qi 7", while the hong qi means Red Flag (红旗) in Chinese.
Both two words are picked from the poems written by Chairman Mao Zedong, the founding leader of PRC. The tradition that the names or codenames of heavy weapons are picked from the poets of Mao has been inherited since 1960s and has long been cherished and recongnized by both PLA and Chinese people.
Very cool👍🏻
