When they have such a monopoly on making a product there's little need to make the product genuinely competitive (price or capability-wise) since their customer is just going to buy it from them anyway. The "free" market died a long time ago.
For just under US$200 million, this LCS will fulfill many countries who are on a strict budget for home defence.... I believe Thailand 🇹🇭 and Malaysia 🇲🇾 have 1 unit, each
Bigger guns typically fire slower. The 76mm is a good gun to also compliment air defence, as well as defending against small surface targets. Not sure how useful for land attack... I mean, by the time they are storming the beach, the beach front has most likely been cleared already.
While LCAC are cool, the US Marines have found that they are succeptable to damage to the skirt, which can mean a loss of effecitveness during a high intensity landing. Also since China doesn't field very many of them, its quite likely solely relying on LCAC for amphibious transport will not be enough for anything beyond a low intensity landing.
Amphibians landings are safe and making sense after the beach concrete bunkers, defense missiles systems, grounds artillery are all taking out...to minimize any casualties arriving at the coastal beaches. Iraq war is a good example A10 warplanes and tomahawk scod missiles took out all the Iraq defense military equipment, bunkers, tanks. When USA troops parachute, rolled into Iraq all the treated was taking out and was safe for GIs to walking in...
This is incorrect. The F-35C - the most expensive variant - only comes in around $117M at last procurement. The F-22 would be a better comparison, where the costs came out to about $430M per airframe in today's dollars. ($170M per at the time). Your point stands, though. The US is spending an absurd amount and getting so much less for it's money. This alone is likely to be the deciding factor in any hypothetical conflict.
I always wonder why there was no real air defense. Yes its supposed to travel with escorts but that bow deck is begging for the hhq10 sam turret ! Maybe hq 7b? needs short range sam system.
The Chinese navy has a combat system. They can never let landing ships fight alone. Aircraft carriers, destroyers and frigates will protect landing ships well. Landing ships can save tonnage to carry more troops
thailand was order ship from south korea with dock but they backout after sending the ship, so no dock for thailand. china completed the deal with ship and dock. and now we know who is truely a friend
Wow the price difference between the type 71 vs a San Antonio is crazy. They're really paddling the bill on us taxpayers.
That's a pretty reasonable view
That’s why China only need to spend 1/3 of US military spending but still can catch up quickly. USA’s gdp is nothing but bubbles.
That's why Tesla went to China.
They can sell $50k cars and make a profit while the US made ones at $150k were still losing them money.

@@EurasiaNaval How is it so cheap in comparison?
the Type 071B class 16,230 ton (21,043 ton loaded) multi mission LPD is a well designed & brilliantly built warship . . .
Geez, $200m vs $2B for the San Antonio Class, 10x cheaper…
One screw on the San Antonio class cost 1000 dollars...

The thing where Chinese navy beats USA is in "economics of war", for every ship USA can put in the ocean China can put 3-4 ships in the same cost.
ok you guys are just fking around right? there is no way a screw or a toilet is that expensive

Forgetting about actual capabilities the Type 071 is an attractive vessel.

Does San Antonio class LPD have propeller made out of gold?
Could you do a video on the Type 075 and the PLAN logistics ships?
Oooohh, caughting fire now
I think the 76mm gun is a little weak especially for support during the landing
Fire support would be provided by aircraft and destroyers.
Bigger guns typically fire slower. The 76mm is a good gun to also compliment air defence, as well as defending against small surface targets. Not sure how useful for land attack... I mean, by the time they are storming the beach, the beach front has most likely been cleared already.
most if not all amphibious assault ships guns are usually 76mm, 100mm is rare and 127mm are not used at all, there are multiple examples

Its not credible a military vessel that big costs only 200M.
The international sales price isn't a good metric of construction costs.

Wow Brilliant ❤

Good job China 🇨🇳 👏 👍 Keep Going 👏
The price is even less than one F35 fighter jet.

thailand might consider stuff like this, especially after the submarine engine incident
