China's Type 22 Fast Missile Boat is One Hell of a Ride!

[@phils4634]

The missiles are (currently) not the very best and most modern, however these fast little "missile trucks" can lay down a significant field of fire, well enough to keep any opponent occupied in missile defence. We've covered the datalink "shortage" before. If the PLAN decide to fit datalinks, that upgrade can be done in less than ONE day, to the ENTIRE fleet, because of China's pretty massive shipbuilding industry. Never forget that China is very much THE World Leader in integrated communications technologies, and is so far the only Country with a working 6G experimental network.

a carrier today is just large target, you don't use them in real combat these days unless you are fighting medieval army.

And also they are too expensive to replace, particularly in case of US, it cannot build a vessel cheaply in a short period of time. So, it cannot deploy them in a competitive combat such as against China, Russia or even Iran and North Korea.

Like as if a captian on a missile boat deceided to take their own drone or a small military drone and use it to help with scouting. Similar to how tankers add their own modifications.

So, essentially these are beefed up "torpedo-boats". Also, if the 2nd in command is being fast tracked to captain, it tells us that the PLAN is short of commanding officers. But that's hardly a surprise by the amount of ships they are spewing out.

[@phils4634]

The current size of the PLA Navy is 350,000 personnel, including 70,000 Marines. The USN has 336,000 personnel. The combined Chinese military comprises 2.2 million active personnel, with a further 1.17 million trained reservists (2023 numbers). The entirety of the US Armed Forces is 1.33 million personnel, placing it in third place (just in front of Russia, who are expanding their military VERY rapidly indeed, and will probably take the third place position in 2025, behind India with 1.45 million military personnel)

[@kameraldbahrul3432]

Well US itself also have shortage crew for lack of recruitment

[@moss550]

On the contrary, you can see this captain candidate is only an O3 lieutenant. This meant PLAN can afford to give command position to junior officer much earlier in their career than in NATO navy. By the time he is given command of a 052D, it's likely his fourth command at a minimum. By comparison a western officer likely get a frigate/destroyer as their first command at O6, and promptly get broadsided by a slow moving oil tanker, or running a survey ship into a mapped reef.

[@thomas_jay]

@@phils4634 Not sure why you and the guy in the next post immediately start to compare to the USN. The video is about the PLAN and that is what I am commenting on.

[@DelAoc]

Satellites can spot the type 22 but these missile boats can be easily spotted by AEW planes like the E-2D Hawkeye flying from a US carrier battle group hundreds of km away. The stealth features of the Type 22 have little effect on the radar of the E-2D when the AEW plane is looking down from a high altitude. If these type 22 boats are used against a US carrier battle group, their chance of survival is not high. Maybe they can be useful against lone frigate or destroyer operating away from a carrier battle group.

[@Amidat]

these are coastal defense - not for the open ocean. US carriers would not get that close to China to encounter these - except maybe in the South China Sea. But even then - China also has anti ship missiles on those bases. So basically these would never be alone. Japan and the Philippines - if they chose to fight China - that would be a different story

[@LuobingSong]

one basic question is E2 is not designed for sea search, it is not equiped with speciallized sea search radar, the P-8 and old school P-3 will work much better in the field, E2D model do have multifunction radar however the sea search model range is no more than F/A-1, and F/A-18 do have enough ability search sea target the over all radar cross section of type 22 is less than a 10 meter coastal fishing boat, the possible targeting range do not change because the radar are high in the sky and the best satellite now under testing by both America and China, i mean the lock-eye series and Jilin series, can track fighter jet sized target with manual operation, but everyone know that is some kind of show of technology, now the best satellite can track frigate sized ship at war time automatically type 22 is not a secret weapon, it is simply a well designed stealth fast missile boat, nowadays most new war ships are designed to be stealth, there are stealth destroyer, stealth frigate, stealth corvette, maybe one day there will be stealth carrier, you can targeting type 22 with the old way you targeting anyother ships, and these missile boat is designed for potential American invasion of Chinese coast line, not for carrier group, i don't think American admirals are smart enough to send large war ships into coastal area at war time, and type 22 make this happen type 22 successfully worked as design, American recorded top speed of type 22 at real time is around 50 knots, type 22 liberate large Chinese war ships into further ocean areas, that is enough, the small boat has proven to be powerful against amphibious land ships, thats all

[@DelAoc]

@@LuobingSong Even the AN/APS-145 UHF doppler radar installed on the older E-2C Hawkeye could detect and track surface targets within about 300 nautical miles, allowing the AEW aircraft to monitor maritime traffic and patrol in all weather conditions. The AN/APY-9 radar for the newer E-2D Hawkeye is said to have improved on the AN/APS-145 with additional capabilities against stealth targets. Anti-submarine warfare however is not a function of the Hawkeye. The P-8 Poseidon is not a carrier borne aircraft. It operates from land bases in anti-submarine and anti-surface roles. There is really no overlap between the P-8 and the E-2 in anti-submarine warfare.

[@LuobingSong]

@@DelAoc the question is at what range can E2 track a 10m fishing boat, the real RCS of type 22 is trusted to be smaller than that you can say E2 can track a ship at 300 nm, but what kind of ship, i could say Chinese KJ500 with advanced AESA radar much better than those on E2C variant can track a ship at 600nm, but what if it turns out to be a fleet carrier till now American navy has the largest non-stealth fleet of the whole world, the real ability of E2 will not better much bigger KJ500, and it is till a multifunction search radar priority air search, American do have much better large radar installed on much larger plane that changes nothing, as i said, the type 22 is not a secret weapon, it is simply a will designed stealth missile boat, it could be terminated by another regular weapon, it fears everything which other small boats fear at the same time, the bad weather, poor air defense, targeted by enermy large ship, and there are many things like that but why when it comes to American weapon it became some kind of mysterious secret weapon? we all know E2C can track target, we all know E2 have multifunction radar, but did that makes any difference? the reason why type 22 like small missile boat will never be a carrier killer is because to keep type 22 survive you will need land based targeting system, you will need land based fighter group against enermy fighters and strikers, you will need the facilities to confuse enermy targeting system, and the the final strike, the stealth feature is not for making type 22 voyage thousand miles cross the ocean to strike enermy carrier group, it is for keep these ship survive till the final strike with type 22 and land based facilities, the coastal area can be free from enermy strike, and continuously support larger ship fighting in the ocean, that is the real goal of all coastal defense system since the navy was invented

[@LuobingSong]

@@DelAoc and the reason why i recommend P3 and P8 is better for sea searching, is because they have better sea search ability, not because E2 is not good at sea search, P3 and P8 successfully tracked Chinese submarine snorkel at much longer range the E2, that is the ability to find a type 22 like thing, that is the speciallized sea searching ability, the ability to find little target in the waves

[@LuobingSong]

in 2002 things are much harder than now, but type 22 based on 1990s PLA naval ability, find the sweet point type 22 in 1990s will be supported by submarine recon, fleet guarding team, and airforces tracking, American navy may break up the control chain so there are more back up plan there are always a system not a single weapon for China, there are always a whole system, that is the biggest difference from China and other navy, and most of other navy do not and can not and shall not and will not build such a system, thats what make type 22 so different from other stealth coastal different stealth ship of other countries

Great training. Just like in a real conflict during war, the enemy will also not make it easy for you to hit and kill them.

So obviously every second counts and can mean the difference between life and death. Not just for you but for the survival of your fellow Chinese brothers or the country itself.

I think PLANF needs to diversify the types of missiles launched by those fast missile boats, and not be limited to launching one type of missile, the YJ-83 high subsonic ASM... the type 22 missile boat is an addition to the capabilities of the PLANF especially in coastal defense and shallow waters between the Chinese mainland, taiwanese islands and to the artificial chain of islands constructed by China, beside in asymmetrical warfare at (least in conducting fast raids with a salvos of missiles in addition to conducting harassment roles), with an advanced stealth design and reasonable combat capabilities, especially compared to its predecessor, the Soviet OSA-1 missile boat that was able to launch the P-15 termit, and its Chinese clone, the Silkworm YJ-2, although the total weight of the useful payloads delivered by single fast missile boat goes to the older P15/YJ-2 Some of the drawbacks and shortcomings are that it is lacking the VLS and with it the ability to launch the ASM vertically, Perhaps these issues can be justified by the need to simplify the manufacturing process of the missile boat and continue developing and production process of the YJ-83 ASM family, although the vertical launching systems or cells (VLS) could help the PLANF to diversity the missions of those fast, agile and highly manoeuvres missiles boats, not only in anti ships missions, but also in air defense roles either to help defending high value naval and shore targets from enemy aviations activities or in help in intercepting the cruise and ballistic missiles... the lack of extra missiles store other shortcomings is the lacking of extra missiles stored on-board limiting those combat effectiveness because to achieve the needed saturation to overwhelming the enemy vessels air defense systems, especially when firing sea skimming, high subsonic ASMs they have to fire all their loaded ammunition to defeat the enemy countermeasures... regarding equipping the type 22 fast missile boat with a drones, I think actually those capabilities could be tailored in some future stages and one or two of the launching pods can converted to loading and storing Long range reconnaissance and surveillance drones with wings folded or retracted on the fuselage and it could be fired similarly to firing the YJ-83, or they could add a launching pod inside the hull, where it could fire single or swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles, of course the same roles apply on enhancing the underwater capabilities delivering underwater unmanned vehicles...

[@hughmungus2760]

my biggest surprise is how large it is on the inside, I originally thought it'd be like the cockpit of a bomber with barely enough room for beds and a toilet. But its got a fully galley.

[@LIONIQ-foxhound]

@@hughmungus2760 so they can redesigning the interior to host drones launching system, again the design is pre large proliferation of tactical and operational utilization of drones...

This is out of topic, but I like watching ship spotting video by some civilian when the ship is closing in to port etc. US, NATO, Japanese ship spotting is easy to find on KZbin, but searching Chinese ship would only result in educational ship review video or still image. So, where can I find ship spotting video of PLAN ship and what's the search words? Or is it not allowed there?

[@NewAgeOfPower]

America used to use their Pegasus class missile boats as training vessels to select good officers. Still, for tier 1 powers, the combat value of a FAC is dubious in the modern era - they cost at least twice as much as a 4th gen aircraft which can sling 4+ ASM underneath, and are >10x faster with that loadout.

I think 🇹🇼 has a slightly bigger and faster more heavily armed patrol boat.....Think it's called the Tuo Chiang class. 45 kn fully loaded, 8 sub sonic anti ship missle, and 8 supersonic anti ship missle, 16 beyond visual range air defence missle. Plus all usual 76mm gun, phalanx gun, 50-caliber M2 .... Cool, yeah!😊
