The mainland has a 022 missile boat, because the cost is over 100 million, the cost is very high, and the comprehensive combat capability is not particularly outstanding, and it was once ridiculed by the foreign media as a chicken rib weapon, but perhaps these arbitrary and arbitrary Western media never thought that the 022 missile boat would become an important weapon to defend the South China Sea!
In the 90s of the 20th century, the mainland's naval equipment was still in a period of technological backwardness, and after the United States released pressure and hostility to the mainland, it ridiculed and sang down in many ways, believing that the mainland's navy's equipment was aging and its weapons had no ability to resist.
The 022 missile boat is a small ship, with a full displacement of only more than 200 tons, loaded with 8 YJ-83 anti-ship missiles and machine gun weapons, etc., installed with two 16-cylinder diesel engines, and the maximum speed can reach 50 knots, which shows that the speed of the light ship can be faster.
The 022 missile boat began to enter service in 2004, and in the following five years, a total of more than 60 missile boats of this type were built, and after all were delivered, mass production was suspended and no further procurement was made.
Since then, the mainland navy has begun to break out of the high-yield period, all kinds of large advanced ships emerge in endlessly, many new types of equipment have begun to enter the list like dumplings, so that many military fans have begun to be proud of the navy, China not only has a 10,000-ton drive, but also a variety of advanced frigates, destroyers, etc., the coastal defense is becoming more and more powerful, ocean training is gradually unfolding, the rapid development of the Chinese Navy, so that 022 missile boats, in these large ships, began to be gradually ignored, and even have different views that this missile boat spent more than 100 million yuan to build, it is really a bit of a chicken rib, and I don't see any important role, and there is no particularly unique advantage。
In fact, the mainland has a rigorous analysis and demonstration of the research and development of any kind of weapons and equipment, and the background needs of the project, the reason why the 022 missile boat can be built is naturally forward-looking in the overall planning of the navy, but the foreign media do not understand the idea and deployment of the Continental Army, but they are just looking for any reason to attack the mainland, fabricating and belittling the development of the Continental Army.
Perhaps neither the foreign media nor the West could have imagined that China's 022 missile boats, the more modern ships are at the moment, the more they can gradually play their important and unique role.
In recent years, at the behest and instigation of the United States, some small businesses around the mainland have repeatedly attacked the mainland's islands and reefs in the South China Sea, in a vain attempt to occupy the mainland's islands and reefs by illegal acts.
The mainland navy has even used all kinds of shameless means to sabotage and constantly harass the mainland's maritime rights and interests, and these unbearable disturbances and provocations, as well as despicable practices such as illegally intruding into the mainland's waters, have made it necessary for the mainland navy to devote part of its energy to driving away and guarding against it, but some large warships are not suitable for handling such disputes.
It is not only the problem of using a knife to kill chickens, but also many problems such as speed response, quick U-turn to drive away, and the influence of water level and depth.
Sending 022 missile boats has an advantage, ships with a displacement of about 200 tons are suitable for carrying the necessary weapons and equipment, have the ability to react quickly, are not affected and restricted by the shallow sea level near the sea, and can quickly rush to the location of the intruder to drive away and monitor, and in terms of rapid response and mission performance, it can give full play to the advantages of small ships.
The West probably did not expect that China's 022 missile boats, which have been in service for more than 15 years at the shortest and nearly 30 years at the earliest, can show such a fierce momentum and such thunderous and swift measures in maintaining islands and reefs and defending the security of China's maritime borders.
It seems that the Chinese Navy really has the ability of different ships to deal with different enemies and deal with different situations, and through the 022 missile boats, it can already be seen that China's military development is sufficiently prepared, has a long-term vision, and has accurate forward-looking defense deployment.
Now the 022 missile boat has been mainly deployed in the South China Sea area for duty and patrol, fast and accurate action, free to come and go, and can also assemble into a fleet to surround illegal ships as needed, etc., and also has obvious advantages in terms of speed, and can show the advantages that large ships do not have, 022 missile boats, can quickly outflank, keep an eye on the enemy target, quickly turn around, turn flexibly, and bite the enemy ship tightly at any time.
Now the 022 missile boat has begun to carry out a new task of protecting the island, in the protection of Ren'ai Jiao and other territory in the South China Sea, raise the military might of our navy, become a sharp weapon to protect the island, not only with the advantage of rapid response to achieve tactical defense of the enemy's ships, but also according to the needs of different time conditions, the deployment of different tactical modes, etc., so the 022 missile boat in dealing with small foreign ships invading the mainland, has a very handy patrol and countermeasure capabilities.
There are also military fans who worry that this kind of small missile boat, the combat firepower is simply insufficient, but it depends on the characteristics of the task performed, in the face of enemy ships that always come to disrupt the continental maritime order and illegally invade the mainland's islands and reefs like "stinky flies", this small and flexible 022 missile boat is simply the most suitable weapon, once it is necessary to strengthen firepower, behind the 022 missile boat, the Chinese Navy has everything large and heavy ships, and it is still increasing.
