On April 22, near the waters of Penghu, the warship "Lishui" of our army's 052D Daqi 157 attacked the 9th ship "Zhang Qian" of the 1109 "Chenggong" class frigate (frigate) of the Shangtai Army. At that time, our side immediately shouted to the 1109 ship: "The 1109 ship of Taiwan, China, I am the 157 ship, please pay attention to your location." ”
When this recording was transmitted back to the island, netizens on Taiwan Island scoffed and retorted: "The missile has been launched, please check the 157 ship." I have to say that the person who can say this sentence really doesn't know the gap between "Lishui" and "Zhang Qian".
The "Zhang Qian" is more than one and a half stars inferior to the "Lishui".
As a warship that has only been put into service in the past two years, the "Lishui" is more in line with the requirements of modernization in terms of hull, radar, and firepower.
With a length of 159 meters and a width of 18 meters, although the overall appearance is relatively small and does not look powerful, the overall flexibility and maneuverability are difficult to match with other warships. Especially when it comes to emergency turns and reactions, the 052DL responds well. Moreover, the shortening of the hull helps to reduce the radar monitoring surface, which will be more secure and concealed in wartime.
In terms of firepower, it is equipped with a 64-cell vertical launch system, 130mm heavy naval guns, 1,130 mm 10,000-round close-in defense guns, and 24 short-range air defense systems, which can maintain high-intensity firepower against threats to the air, sea and seabed. In addition to its powerful firepower, it is also difficult to parry the missiles it carries, such as HQ-9B anti-aircraft missiles, YJ-18 anti-ship missiles, CJ-10 cruise missiles, etc. According to this kind of firepower, let alone the "Zhang Qian", even the frigates of the US military will be difficult to parry.
In terms of other equipment, the 052DL is also equipped with a phased array radar and electronic warfare system with very advanced performance in all aspects, which can easily capture enemy targets and deal with more complex combat environments.
"Zhang Qian" is a self-produced version of the American "Perry" frigate, and it is indeed a newcomer to the self-developed warship on the island, but that was already in the 90s of the last century.
The warship entered service at the end of 1998 and has been in service for 25 years. Although he is a "newcomer" among the self-developed warships on the island, for the mainland's "Lishui", it is really too old to be old.
Such an old warship, even if it has undergone several upgrades over the years, its foundation is there, and no matter how much it is transformed, it cannot be compared with modern warships.
At present, the firepower of the "Zhang Qian" is still a 76mm naval gun, and although it has a phalanx close defense system, it is only equipped with a "Standard-1" anti-aircraft missile. If we fight against "Yeosu," we will absolutely not be able to defend ourselves against the missiles launched by our side.
If we talk about the equipment that can be used, it may only be the two-seat twin-mounted "Hsiungfeng-2" and "Hsiungfeng-3" anti-ship missiles. But to be honest, in the face of these two missiles, the air defense system of "Yeosu" can also block.
If it is really as Taiwan netizens said, "Zhang Qian" fired missiles at our side, the result is obvious, and it will definitely be bombarded by our artillery shells to the slag.
It can only be said that this group of netizens on the island is completely a layman watching the excitement and thinking that the warship of "their own home" is an "old man", which must be more powerful. Or there is a mentality of "you can't lose in momentum", and you are shouting there.
How can the Taiwan army's broken copper and iron be compared with our army's iron walls
If the warships of the Taiwan military had been placed in the 90 s of the last century, the mainland might not have been able to defeat them, because the equipment of the Taiwan military at that time was indeed better than that of the mainland. However, more than 20 years have passed, and the Taiwan army is still in a state of stagnancy, while our army is developing rapidly. The warships now held by the Taiwan military are either the products of their own research and development in the last century, or they are also "old guys" who have retired from the United States. In short, none of the warships in the hands of the Taiwan military are "young."
The older the warship is, the more it does not meet the level of modern warfare. And because the age is too old, the hull also has aging and rusting. Such a warship is not to mention firepower, even if it is pulled out and collided with others, I am afraid that the opponent's warship will be unharmed, and it will become a pile of scrap metal.
The vast majority of the "ages" of our warships are a few years old or in their teens. Of course, there are also some of them like "Zhang Qian", such as the 112 "Harbin" and the 113 "Qingdao" of the 052 class destroyers, which are slightly older than the warship of the Taiwan military, but basically none of the other warships can compare with the "Zhang Qian".
As for other weapons and equipment, such as the Air Force and the Army, the weapons and equipment held by them are not worth mentioning. Although the United States has also given some good things in order to enhance the strength of the Taiwan military, the overall strength of the Taiwan military has not been effectively improved because the number is too small and the weapons and equipment are not very advanced.
And our army's weapons and equipment can kill Taiwan in seconds in terms of both advanced level and quantity. Therefore, I don't know where the courage and self-confidence of those on Taiwan Island who think that the Taiwan army can completely defeat the PLA come from? Relying on the broken copper and iron of the Taiwan army, it is estimated that the iron wall that wants to defeat our army is almost realized in a dream.
