System equipment of Xuzhou missile frigate

China 054A frigate has strong characteristics of Russian surface ships. It is a new generation anti-submarine warship designed by China, which is used to replace Jiangwei class frigates. Two early 054-class No.525 and No.526 have been in service, and 054A has a strong stealth capability. The hull design minimizes the vertical radar reflection surface. The latest 054A missile frigate is equipped with Russian mineral-me radar system, as well as Russian Fregat M2EM search radar and two MR90 illumination radars. The design purpose is to cooperate with 052B, which has served in China Navy.

The warship adopts domestic data link system, and the 054A frigate will deploy domestic HQ 16 vertical launch ship-to-air missiles. According to the Russian-Chinese TEMA978 project plan, Russia participated in part of the development of this type of missile vertical launcher. According to the latest picture, it is the vertical launch system of 16 troops. You can attack four air targets at a time. The vertical launch system is a highlight of this warship.

The main gun is a single-tube 100mm compact naval gun, which is an improved French double-gun-imported from China in 1980s.

The displacement is about 3400 tons, the speed is 26 knots, and the endurance is 5000 nautical miles /20 knots. It is equipped with an anti-submarine ship.

The helicopter is estimated to be a Russian Ka -28, which has the function of target indication and medium-range guidance. The anti-ship weapon consists of two quadruple boxed launchers, equipped with domestic C-803 anti-ship missiles, and anti-submarine missiles and two triple anti-submarine torpedo launchers may be added later, which has strong anti-submarine capability, reliable point air defense capability and strong over-the-horizon anti-ship capability. The overall performance is similar to that of the French Lafite super frigate, but the air defense missiles are quite different from them.

The latest 054A missile frigate is equipped with Russian Mineral-Me radar system, Fregat M2EM search radar and two MR90 illumination radars. They are all Russians. Pinkov believes that the purpose of this design is to form a technical integration with the guided missile destroyers 052b and 956e/EM that have already served in the China Navy. It is necessary to embody the characteristics of "integration system confrontation". 054A missile frigate is equipped with Mineral-me 1 active radar and ￠MINERAL-ME2 passive radar to indicate the target of YJ8-3 ship-to-ship missile. The whole system is favored by China Navy mainly because of its strong anti-electronic interference ability, multi-function and strong data processing ability.

After installing MR90 illumination radar, HQ 16 ship-to-air missile can attack four air targets at a time. It is planned to install 32 HQ 16 ship-to-air missiles on the 054A class missile frigate. On the level of naval frigates in China, 054a has the strongest air defense capability in terms of the number, range and reaction speed of ship-to-air missiles.
