PLA's 99th anniversary promo video unveils new Sichuan ship countermeasures, long-range rocket firepower
View original source ↗Summary
A PLA 99th anniversary promotional video disclosed new details about the Type 075 amphibious assault ship Sichuan, including previously unshown countermeasures systems and long-range rocket firepower organic to the ship or its embarked forces. The release documents a deliberate choice to publicize capability details through anniversary media rather than official procurement announcements — a pattern that complicates assessments of what is operational versus aspirational, and leaves the specific countermeasures system designation and the rocket artillery platform's unit attribution unconfirmed.
The PLA's 99th anniversary promotional video publicly unveiled new countermeasures systems on the Sichuan ship and long-range rocket firepower details, representing first public disclosure of specific capabilities not previously confirmed in open-source reporting.
