New Details Emerge On Chinese Guided-Missile Destroyer
By Yihong Chang, JDW Correspondent, Moscow
Russian military-industrial sources have revealed new details of the Project 956EM guided-missile destroyer, two of which are being built for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).
The Severnoye Design Bureau produced the design, with construction being undertaken at the Severnaya Verf (Northern Wharf) shipyard in St Petersburg.
Although the two ships are essentially similar in general arrangement to the two Project 956E destroyers delivered to China in February 2000 and February 2001 (which were themselves common to the Russian Federation
Navy's Project 956 Sovremenny-class ships), this newer pair will feature a number of changes pertaining to their air-defence and anti-ship capability.
Most notably, the aft AK-130 twin 130mm gun mount has been removed and two Kashtan inner-layer defence systems have been introduced on either beam. In
addition, the Positiv-ME1 target-acquisition radar associated with Kashtan is installed on the hangar roof structure. The medium-range air-defence missile installed on Project 956EM will be the Shtil-1, which uses the 9M317 semi-active guided-missile system. Fired from a single-arm launcher (one forward and one aft) fed by a 24-round below-decks magazine, the 9M317 missile is credited with a range of up to 42km. The Altair State Research and Production Association has been developing the overall Shtil-1 system, while the manufacture of the 9M317 missile comes under the responsibility of the Dolgoprudny Research and
Production Enterprise.
As for the surface-to-surface guided weapon system, Russian sources have confirmed to Jane's Defence Weekly that Project 956EM will be equipped with an upgraded version of 3M80E Moskit (SS-N-22 'Sunburn') supersonic
anti-ship cruise missile, known as the 3M80MBE, specifically developed for China. The upgrade is claimed to extend the range to 200km.
JDW also received confirmation from the KBP Instrument Design Bureau that China is completing the procurement of four Kashtan inner-layer defence systems for the Project 956EM destroyers.
KBP is co-developing and -manufacturing Kashtan with the Tulamashzavod Joint Stock Company in conjunction with the Altair State Research and Production Association. The 3R87E combat module combines two GSh-30K 30mm cannon with a battery of eight (four above each gun) 9M311 short-range missiles. The two-stage 9M311 missiles - which employ both radar and
electro-optical command-to-line-of-sight guidance - cover an envelope from 1.5-8km; the GSh-30K guns are effective over an inner zone of 500-4,000m.
A 3R861E command module controls Kashtan using the Positiv-ME1 radar, which detects and prioritises inbound threats. The system then passes target-designation data to individual combat modules (up to six can be controlled from one command module), which then tracks the targets, produces firing data and engages. The combat module has an on-mount Ku-band
tracking radar and electro-optical sensors fitted on a stabilised pedestal; the twin 30mm guns and 9M311 missile canisters are mounted either side. Missiles are reloaded automatically from a 32-round magazine below the mounting.According to Tulamashzavod, Kashtan is effective against threats from sea level to altitudes of 3,500m. The company claims a kill probability of
0.96-0.99 for the system.
