China is building three 25,000-ton amphibious warships side by side — and the Type 071 may be entering mass production mode. New images circulating online show two Type 071 amphibious transport dock ships being built alongside the latest-batch Type 054B frigate. Just days after one Type 071 and the Type 054B left the dock, sections of another Type 071 were already being assembled in the same position. At one point, three Type 071s at different stages of construction were visible simultaneously across the shipyard’s dock and slipway. China currently operates 8 Type 071s, alongside 4 Type 075 amphibious assault ships and the Type 076, but the PLA Navy appears to be expanding its amphibious fleet at an increasingly rapid pace. Reports suggest the new Type 071 batch could include another 8 ships, with upgrades over earlier vessels and potentially all launched by the end of 2027. When even 25,000-ton amphibious ships start being built “like dumplings,” the message is clear: China is scaling up its naval capacity at an extraordinary pace.

🚨🇨🇳 PENTAGON IN PANIC: TAIWAN’S MINED BEACHES NOW OBSOLETE AGAINST CHINA’S TYPE 05 AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE As the PLA prepares for a potential Taiwan Strait crossing, it is expanding the Type 05 amphibious vehicle family with a specialized engineering version — complete with a massive bulldozer blade — recently spotted near Chongqing. 🔸 The massive bulldozer blade clears anti-landing barriers, moves concrete blocks and earthworks, and levels beaches for follow-on forces. 🔸 Its fully amphibious design allows the vehicle to operate in formation immediately after exiting the water. 🔸 First-wave engineering vehicles create safe corridors so the main landing force avoids bunching up on the shore. 🔸 The Type 05 family now includes IFVs, fire support, air defense, anti-tank, and specialized mine-clearing variants. 🔸 This standardization greatly increases the marine corps’ autonomy and simplifies logistics once ashore. Do you think Taiwan can really fight against China? Follow to keep up with the latest military and technological trends.

The Chinese Drone Carrier: Not Just Power Projection, But a New Era in Naval Warfare The Type 076 is a Chinese Navy amphibious assault ship with a full-load displacement exceeding 40,000 tons. It combines traditional amphibious warfare features with advanced drone operations, making it the world's first to be equipped with an electromagnetic catapult (EMALS) and arresting cables for launching and recovering fixed-wing aircraft, primarily unmanned reconnaissance and combat vehicles. Its amphibious role is similar to the Type 075, but it adds a full-length flight deck, electromagnetic catapult, and arresting gear, enabling operations with heavy, long-range fixed-wing drones that couldn't take off vertically like on the Type 075. The real Chinese masterstroke is this: Catapult-launched drones provide long-range reconnaissance, real-time intelligence, and suppression of enemy defenses, while constantly searching for, tracking enemy units, and guiding missiles onto targets. All this while unload troops and equipment on beaches. Being amphibious extends its reach into true three-dimensional land operations: Helicopters handle rapid troop transport and close air support; Fixed-wing drones extend the range: surveillance beyond the horizon, strikes on distant targets, target acquisition, missile guidance, and electronic warfare; Well deck vehicles carry out the actual beach landing. The result is a perfectly coordinated assault across multiple dimensions (air, sea, land), boosting both the efficiency and survivability of the landing force, while maintaining A2/AD through a vast network of airborne drones linked to the operational missile forces. What stands out in the Chinese war machine is the precise integration of everything. There are no gaps between equipment, planning, and execution. It's all extremely well connected. This is the pioneering drone carrier, the Type 076, while the Type 075 remains a more traditional helicopter-focused amphibious assault ship. There are persistent rumors of a future Type 077 or further evolutions, but nothing confirmed yet. As I said in another article, the heart of Chinese target acquisition are drones, and they will build many of these drone carriers to expand that capability. These are far smaller investments than conventional aircraft carriers and much cheaper to produce. At the same time that China projects overwhelming power with its large ships, it is also building a cheaper fleet structure that's no less potent.

PLA unmanned drone ship, the largest of its kind in the world. It has large VLS, which allows it to launch anti-air and air-ship missiles. With an unmanned helicopter it can also conduct anti-submarine duties. They are designed to swarm the near seas around China, specifically around the island of Taiwan, they are able to conduct a naval blockade of the island without risking too many manned platforms. In a Taiwan liberation scenario, all we need to do, is to create an environment that is so chaotic that no commercial shipping can transport anything to the island. Other platforms like our 6th gen fighters will strengthen the blockade. Then we can force a negotiated end to the Chinese civil war and reunification. If they won't negotiate, then it's missile and rocket artillery bombardment, then amphibious landing.

CNS Sichuan, China's largest and most advanced amphibious assault ship, set sail from Shanghai on its maiden sea trial on Friday, according to the People's Liberation Army Navy. With a hull code of 51, CNS Sichuan is the first in the Type 076 class. The ship displaces more than 40,000 metric tons of water and can carry fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and amphibious landing craft once commissioned. The ship boasts a unique configuration that features a dual-island superstructure, a first for Chinese naval ships, designed to better facilitate aviation operations. The vessel is also equipped with an electromagnetic catapult system, which will be used to launch fixed-wing aircraft, making the Sichuan the first Chinese amphibious assault ship capable off launching fixed-wing drones and only the second Chinese vessel to use this world-class technology after the CNS Fujian aircraft carrier.

BREAKING: The deployment of 12 F/A-18C/D Legacy Hornets of the United States Marine Corps VMFA-312 to the Middle East indicates that the United States is preserving options for potential amphibious and littoral operations near the Strait of Hormuz for capture of the Iranian Islands of Boumusa, Lesser and Greater Tunbs. These aircraft are typically tasked with close air support (CAS) for Marines operating from amphibious platforms. Their deployment suggests continued readiness to support forces embarked aboard the USS Tripoli (LHA-7) as part of a Marine Air-Ground Task Force. While initial basing may involve Nevatim Airbase, forward positioning to locations such as Djibouti or Salalah would provide more effective range for sustained close air support missions in maritime and coastal environments.

Breaking today: America's Rapid Response Force, Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (IWOARG) - 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Special Operations Capable is deploying to SOUTHCOM 🇺🇸 In a "dramatic show of force," Natasha Bertrand reports that 4,000+ Sailors and Marines will deploy to the waters around Latin America and the Caribbean to combat drug cartels and provide POTUS with a broad range of military options. In addition to IWOARG, comprised of flagship amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) and amphibious transport docks USS San Antonio (LPD 17) and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), the U.S. Navy is reportedly tasking several guided-missile destroyers, a Tico cruiser, nuclear-powered fast attack sub, and P-8A Poseidon aircraft to U.S. Southern Command. "The move is part of a broader repositioning of military assets to the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility that has been underway over the last three weeks. The additional assets are aimed at addressing threats to US national security from specially designated narco-terrorist organizations in the region." (CNN) The ARG is "capable of conducting global missions to accomplish U.S. strategic goals, deter adversaries, and ensure unimpeded commerce by keeping the high seas open and free in accordance with international law. The 22nd MEU (SOC) provides a forward-deployed, flexible sea-based Marine Air Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations to include enabling the introduction of follow-on forces and designated special operations to meet Combatant Commander’s requirements."

Once again, our joint interagency forces sent a clear message this morning: “there is no safe haven for criminals.” In a pre-dawn action, Marines and Sailors from Joint Task Force Southern Spear, in support of the Department of Homeland Security, launched from the USS Gerald R. Ford and apprehended Motor/Tanker Olina in the Caribbean Sea without incident. Apprehensions like this are backed by the full power of the U.S. Navy’s Amphibious Ready Group, including the ready and lethal platforms of the USS Iwo Jima, USS San Antonio, and USS Fort Lauderdale. The Department of War’s Operation Southern Spear is unwavering in its mission to defend our homeland by ending illicit activity and restoring security in the Western Hemisphere. #OperationSouthernSpear #22MEU #MaritimeSecurity #HomelandDefense #USNavy #USMC Amphibious Squadron 8

CNS Sichuan, Type-076 amphibious assault carrier. The double island design is a necessity due to the usage of gas turbines for propulsion. Air intakes and exhausts can't be too long or too close to each other, which will affect the gas turbines' efficiency. It is a technical masterclass for Chinese naval engineers to install the electromagnetic catapult onto a ship of 50,000 tons. In a pinch, they can have a full compliment of carrier airwings. Some claim the ship will only operate drones, that is not entirely correct, the navy is not spending big money on a full length catapult just to launch drones. Our marines on foreign shores need local air superiority provided by J-35s, so there will certainly be some J-35s on regular deployment. Ultimately, this ship represents China's global commitment to peace. The CNS Sichuan will serve as the center of an expeditionary fleet responsible for rapid deployment to hotspots around the world. If our goal is just the Asia Pacific region, they this ships is not needed. Take that however you like, but the fact is, the Chinese century has already begun.

Raw footage of China's Liaoning carrier battlegroup conducting operations in the Western Pacific. Some important observations: 🔹Japan tried to follow the carrier battlegroup, but was comprehensively outmaneuvered, japanese systems jammed and lost track of the carrier battlegroup for over 20 days. 🔹The wheel chocks (Red flaps that stops the wheel of the aircraft before taking off) was widened, resulting in a narrower gap, allowing the J-35 to be operated from the 2 STOBAR carriers. 🔹Type-054B frigate took its first far seas operation. 🔹Air force-Navy interoperability, PLA air force YY-20 air refueling tanker, was seen operating within the navy system, extending the range of the J-15T. 🔹J-15T (the catapult launched version) makes their debut on the Liaoning officially. J-15T is basically a completely new aircraft, with new radars, materials and internal structure/systems. Giving it 4.5++ Gen capabilities. 🔹The J-35 will be responsible for gaining air superiority at sea and J-15T responsible for multirole missions along with the J-15DH electronic warfare fighter, they will form a formidable air wing onboard of the CNS 16 Liaoning and CNS 17 Shandong. Giving the 2 Ski-jump carrier a comprehensive multi-mission air wing.

🚨NAVY LOGISTICS 🚨 Everyone seems concerned that the U.S. Navy ships in the Arabian Sea - carrier Abraham Lincoln stike group, 3-ship amphibious group based on Tripoli, and a surface action group centered on approximately 8 destroyers - are running low on food, with some pictures showing the supposed meals on board. To understand how the Navy supplies ships you have to understand how U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command, the fleet of civilian merchant mariner crewed ships work. There are three main considerations - fuel, food, and ammo. 1️⃣Fuel: There are two MSC oilers in the Indian Ocean. They provide alongside Underway Replenishment (UNREP) for diesel fuel for ship population and JP5 for aviation. The oilers can carry between 180 to 150k barrels of fuel. A Burke can carry about 12k bbls of fuel. When the oilers run low on fuel, they will either return to a forward base or meet up with commercial tankers from the US merchant marine, some in the Tanker Security Program. These tankers are equipped to receive rigs from the MSC oilers so that they can transfer fuel to the oilers. The oilers can maintain their forward presence as station oilers while the commercial tankers shuttle fuel. 2️⃣Food & Ammo: There are three MSC dry cargo/ammo ships in the region. To keep the ships supplied one of the T-AKEs will rotate through the ships providing either replenishment at sea or vertical replenishment via civilian embarked AS-332 helos. Another ship would be rotating out a forward base to reload and tag team with the station AKE.

🚨NAVY LOGISTICS 🚨 Everyone seems concerned that the U.S. Navy ships in the Arabian Sea - carrier Abraham Lincoln stike group, 3-ship amphibious group based on Tripoli, and a surface action group centered on approximately 8 destroyers - are running low on food, with some pictures showing the supposed meals on board. To understand how the Navy supplies ships you have to understand how U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command, the fleet of civilian merchant mariner crewed ships work. There are three main considerations - fuel, food, and ammo. 1️⃣Fuel: There are two MSC oilers in the Indian Ocean. They provide alongside Underway Replenishment (UNREP) for diesel fuel for ship population and JP5 for aviation. The oilers can carry between 180 to 150k barrels of fuel. A Burke can carry about 12k bbls of fuel. When the oilers run low on fuel, they will either return to a forward base or meet up with commercial tankers from the US merchant marine, some in the Tanker Security Program. These tankers are equipped to receive rigs from the MSC oilers so that they can transfer fuel to the oilers. The oilers can maintain their forward presence as station oilers while the commercial tankers shuttle fuel. 2️⃣Food & Ammo: There are three MSC dry cargo/ammo ships in the region. To keep the ships supplied one of the T-AKEs will rotate through the ships providing either replenishment at sea or vertical replenishment via civilian embarked AS-332 helos. Another ship would be rotating out a forward base to reload and tag team with the station AKE. The third AKE, along with civilian commercial ships, many of the Maritime Security Program, would shuttle forward supplies from commercial ports or Defense Logisitics Agency depots. 3️⃣ The addition of the Bush Carrier Strike Group will allow the Lincoln to pull back for down time and resupply at a base. Bush has a fast combat support ship (T-AOE) that can carry a mix of food, fuel and ammo on a ship capable of 26 knots. This ship is a one-stop shop for a carrier strike group.
