    Vertical launch system (VLS): The destroyer is equipped with the innovative Universal Vertical Launch System (UVLS), capable of launching a variety of missiles, including air defense, anti-ship, and anti-submarine missiles.
    Anti-aircraft weapons: It is armed with a close-in weapon system (CIWS) and anti-aircraft artillery to defend against incoming threats.
    Anti-submarine capabilities: The vessel carries torpedoes and anti-submarine rocket launchers for sub-surface defense.
    Sensors and Electronics:
    The Type 052C destroyer features advanced radar systems, including phased-array radar, providing superior situational awareness and target tracking capabilities.
    It is equipped with electronic warfare and countermeasures systems to defend against electronic threats.
    The ship is likely to have comprehensive communication systems for effective command and control.
    Role and Capabilities:
    The primary role of the Type 052C destroyer is air defense, anti-surface warfare, and anti-submarine warfare.
    It is a significant asset for the PLAN's blue-water operations and power projection, offering enhanced offensive and defensive capabilities.
    Crew and Operations:
    The Type 052C destroyer typically has a crew complement of around 280 to 300 personnel.

    For all of you wondering why a Type 052C was flying the US flag. Realize that tensions weren't so high back then, so there were far more military-level exchanges between China and the US. This came in the form of port visits and notably the joining of the US-led exercise RIMPAC in both 2014 and 2016. Despite being only 6 years ago, it's difficult to imagine this happening today.

    The 052c is a perfect example of the PLA Navy's "small steps, fast running" approach to development. The small number of ships of the same model is intended to validate the new equipment. Finally, the 052 and 055 have entered service in large numbers.

    This ship was the most significant advancement for Chinese Navy, they went from regular radar with box launcher to AESA radar with VLS in one ship. Literally 30 years advancement. They build the first 2 ships in 2003 and it took them another 10 years to build the next 4. But they still choose to not mass produce this class until 052D which is another huge upgrade
    Another interesting thing about this ship is that they skipped PESA all together and went straight to AESA radar technology, about 15 years ahead of US Navy, vast majority of Burks are still using PESA today

      What so you expect when they can learn from others mistakes, buy/steal/copy from others like Russia or US, and have mostly new ships. What I have noticed is that China was kinda smart, they purchased stuff to copy, made deals with the best of both worlds, plays friendly to learn US operations, and made improvements on any western copies they wanted. Basically, it isn't hard to make such leaps when development has already been done by others. Even the designs are based on mostly western platforms at this point. Very little of what I see is home grown without some western design look.

      Older SPY-1 on Aegis destroyers including on older Burke Flight I and II can already see as far as 1700km. So its still a capable radar. While SMART-L radar like those on European frigates and even UK’s Type 45 destroyer can reach as far as 2000km. Doubtful if Chinese Type 346A/B radar on Type 052D and Type 055 can reach the same range. Even then upcoming SPY-6 with 24 RMAs for Burke Flight IIA has a similar max range of THAAD’s TPY-2 radar of around 4700km as both are from the same company Raytheon. SPY-6 with 37 RMAs on Burke Flight III will even be more powerful. On the other hand future DDG(x) with 57 RMAs if not 37 would be insanely powerful. Then their is also SPY-7.
      Another significant advantage SPY-6 has over older SPY-1 and even Chinese Type 346A/B it has multiple mini radar arrays or Radar Modular Assemblies RMA. Each RMA can do its own thing like volumetric search, target illumination, horizon search, and even electronic warfare. They can also be combined into groups or into a more powerful singular radar array. On the other hand Type 346A/B like older SPY-1 only has one radar array, so it can only do one thing at a time. Also Aegis destroyers have another set of CWI X-band radars for backup but can also illuminate. So SPY-6 is not only more powerful but also more versatile. Even SPY-6 with just 9 RMAs for upcoming Constellation class frigates is a more capable radar than what Type 052D and even Type 055 have.

Granted a lot of that is from electronically “borrowing” designs IE the catapults and flight deck of their new CV, but you still gotta build not just the actual components but also the equipment to produce and maintain them as well. We’ll see how well they work though because going from drawing board to real world use is such a seamless process with no problems.

      China EMALS is very different from any design and is not only original but superior. each catapult is independently powered by DC, this allows very flexible power management unlike the American system which run on a AC bus that is shared and so reseting the power on 1 catapult would result in all catapult halting operation, greatly reducing it availability. i find it rather amusing that of all the possible examples of "borrowed" design, you would actually cite one that is fair revolutionary and even ahead of their western counterpart. especially when this video is about the "chinese aegis" one would think citing the phase array arrangement as an example would be more fitting and obivious choice.

      Good point. The CCP seem to be able to mature a technology once they acquire it. They are getting there in leaps and bounds. Material science is a good example of a field in which they are playing catch-up, with great success.
      CCP espionage is not limited to designs of end use systems. They endeavour to acquire everything in the production chain to eventually fully deploy what they have stolen. ChiComs have turned clandestine espionage into an art form. It mirrors their ancient civilisations idiosyncrasies, when contaminated by marxism.

    What would you think of a squad level distributed audio sensor for the location and classification of UAV's? I know air isn't water, but I'm guessing you might have some insight. Quadcopter are often difficult to see or hear. I would think standardized blades should produce a predictable frequency range. I guess my question is, what range do you think small microphones would be able to detect those frequencies?
    I've seen many videos of soldier being caught off guard by quadcopters carrying munitions. Back ground noise can (Like and active military operation) can make the buzz of drones hard to pick out with the human ear. Would a common smart phone be better at filtering and detecting, especially meshed and sharing data? Could a smartphone mic do this or would a somewhat larger mic attached to a smartphone be needed. Would a frequency produced by standard DJI drones produce too many false positives as to make it useless?

      I know you're asking Sub Brief, but I'll give my two cents. I think the technology could be feasible, but maybe not on the squad level. I'm thinking maybe the platoon level, just because of expense. We already have direction finding acoustic sensors for detecting snipers. They were setup on Humvees and other vehicles and installations in Iraq and probably Afghanistan too. I would guess the same technology could be used with something more sensitive to detect drones. Because they are quite loud. I think it could work if people put their minds to it. A smartphone mic would certainly not be enough I would think, though. It would have to be specialized. The mic would have to be actually omnidirectional.

    The curved radar panels on the super structure.. is there an internal mechanical reason for the curving? I thought AESA panels on ships doing what the AEGIS type ships do are flat and electronically directed beams. Having curved outer panels leads me to think something inside has a partial mechanical rotation range.

    The way I see it, the Chinese has already surpassed the US in warship capability. While you review the Type 53C, they now have the Type 52D. More advanced radar, CWS and anti-ship and anti -air missiles while the US is now de-commissioning most of its Ticonderoga Class and Arleigh Burke Class destroyers which are very old to be gradually replaced by the Arleigh Burke Class III. The only advantage the US has now are submarines but even that the Chinese are also narrowing the gap
    with its latest Type 96 and Type 093B. It will take only a couple of years for the Chinese to catch up with the US latest Virginia Class. And the Chinese are able to build their warships 5 times faster and also cheaper than the US. It is puzzling that the US with its annual defense budget of more than $800 billion is now playing catch up?
    In the meantime, US defense analyst and mainstream news medias will continue to delude Americans into believing it still has the best military in the world and can easy win a war in 3 fronts against Russia, Iran, China. In terms of nuclear capability, Russia has now achieved superiority in its missiles technology and also delivery system. This too, the US is playing catch up.

      Wait until China has to actually pay and support all those ships for decades or centuries to come. They too will have older ships in their fleets that fall behind other and that get phased out. It's only a temporary advantage as we are in the middle of another major upgrade cycle and will once again leapfrog from whatever China may bring to the table. It's all just timing and money. China does not have an equivalent US economy and they will eventually start feeling the real cost of owning "supposedly" powerful naval fleets. No one really thought that in this small world day and age that China and Russia would actually have any balls to cause global trouble but here we are and we are changing what needs to be built and designed accordingly. China can bloody our nose out at sea close to home but that's as far they will ever get. Another turtle kingdom just like russia.

    The Type 346 Radar is an OTH Radar, which uses gallium nitride semiconductors, which is higher senstivity then anything the US AESA have except for the AN/SPY 6 radars which is used only by the latest Flight III Arleigh Burke Destroyers. The Type 346 has a range of 450km far more superior than any Arleigh Burke radar capability within NATO, AUKUS, or QUAD Navies, except for the Ford Class Aircraft Carrier and the latest Flight III Arleigh Burke Destroyers. Youre very WRONG.
    Secondly, the Type 364 Seagull, is not an over the horizon (OTH) radar, it is used for CIWS for up to 75km.
    As far as the Gallium and Germanium chemical semiconductors exports is concerned for the US Defense Industry, like the 90% of Rare Earths processing which is undertaken by the Chinese, the export of gallium minerals to the US has been cut due to the Semiconductor war between America and China. The likelihood of the US obtaining Gallium especially from China has been cut. America has to source their Gallium for their Radars especially for the AN/Spy 7 radar systems from somewhere else besides China. Its a NO from China!

    In fact, Chinese people cannot purchase most of the most advanced equipment, so buying and replicating it is impossible. Accusations of theft are purely ignorant. A high-end equipment requires components and subsystems from possibly dozens of industries and countless suppliers, involving accumulations of specialized knowledge across numerous industries. It's not something that can be created just by stealing a "blueprint."
    In reality, China has simply replicated the cutting-edge development concepts of foreign advanced equipment, avoiding the mistakes made by others. The technological sources are gleaned from international publicly available papers and a wealth of knowledge that can be found through Google, which are then integrated into their own research and development, allowing them to avoid detours in their R&D and reach their target products directly.

      Which modern US ship has been used in conflicts? And I mean conflicts where the ship was in any danger unlike Syria, Gulf War, etc

      One simple half an hour documentary on their outdated "old assests" will leave you speachless by the looks of it. Sometimes the only way to retain just a tiny bit of sanity to people like you, is lying, its sad actually.

    If all the boats are built like everything else they engineer or poorly copy, I don't think they are a huge enemy
