It's been a while since we've seen something new coming out of the JDME shipyard, but now they are reconfiguring a target vessel to carry a superstructure nearly identical to the U.S. Arleigh Burke Class, Japan's Atago and Maya Classes, and South Korea's Sejong the Great Class.
Satellite imagery shows a multifunctional target vessel, used by the Chinese Navy in destructive weapons tests, outfitted with a likely replica of an Arleigh Burke style Aegis Destroyer superstructure. bit.ly/2oeCGCj

This use of small commercial vessels as beach landing craft in a first wave of amphibious assaults gives China a massive capacity to overwhelm defenses. Each annual training cycle keeps unveiling more threatening aspects of China's amphibious capability development efforts.

Wondering what @stick631 would make of the top down view of the scene in satellite imagery 🤔 Thoroughly destructive.

China appears to be readying their "mini-carrier" test vessel, along with other test vessels, for a possible weapons test or training exercise. The vessel had an array of radar reflectors installed across its deck to simulate adversarial vessels.

We previously published a longer report on the obscure Chinese shipyard that produces and maintains the "Blue Force Fleet" that provides advanced capabilities to simulate US and allied warships in missile test programs and military exercises.

It's somewhat crazy that Russia's troubled shipbuilding sector has managed to muster the resources to keep construction of the Ivan Rogov going throughout the war in Ukraine. In Russia's current reality there's hardly even a real use for it beyond it being a big floating target.

This is what a well executed pre-programmed GPS-guided runway interdiction strike looks like. A combination of solid facility baseline analysis and appropriate strike package design.
