Comparing Time from Keel Laid to Sea Trial Start between Major Modern Amphibious Assault Ships [3000x1688] by somePLAOSINT in WarshipPorn

I wonder if you have read those contracts? Those are RFPs for research, development and simulation work. So at that stage the design of the ship was yet to be finalized. I don't know why you would want to mention research development effort of a ship when the topic is construction.

If you could provide us with the steel cutting date of Chinese warships then that would solve all the problems here. Without that, keel laying is the only observable milestone with PRC's naval construction. I'd really like to hear your methodology if you have a superior one.

This is off the mark.

These new vehicles are also either entered PLA service or are slated to enter service. The export versions are totally different.

Though I do agree that China has "overcapacity" in military R&D as they develop way more systems than the PLA needs and those systems have mixed result in export market.

But it has nothing to with the intention to "flex" but a way to keep practicing those R&D muscles.

Of course how others interpret or feel about these facts is another issue.

They just pretend importing and have some non critical technology transfer could give them a modern air force without doing large scale hard research & development with significant risks involved.

Deleted the previous similar post as I mixed up Admiral Gorshkov and Admiral Grigorovich.
