Tiềm lực quân sự Trung Quốc - Phần 1

CSS-2 (DF-3)
Known in the West as the CSS-2 (Chinese Surface-to-Surface Missile-2), this intermediate-range ballistic missile is called the Dong Feng-3 (East Wind-3) in China. It has a range of 465 to 1,643 miles (750 to 2,650 kilometers) and carries a single nuclear warhead. From 60 to 80 of them are believed deployed in northwest China.

JIANGHU I (TYPE 053) CLASS (FFG)
The Chinese Navy has at least 27 of these guided-missile frigates in active service. All were built in Shanghai starting in the mid-1970s at the Hudong, Jiangnan and Huangpu shipyards. This picture shows the ''Huayin.''

LUDA I/II (TYPE 051) CLASS (DDG)
The Luda are the first Chinese-designed destroyer class equipped with guided missiles. The first was completed in 1971. Fifteen are in active service. This picture shows the ''Nanjing.''

YULIANG (TYPE 079) CLASS (LSM)
Thirty-one of these medium landing craft are in service. Production of the series started in 1980 at three or four smaller shipyards. Most are based in the South Sea Fleet.

YUNNAN CLASS (TYPE 067) (LCU)
This class of landing craft was built in China between 1968 and 1972. At least 36 are in active service, 200 more are in reserve. Most are based in the South Sea Fleet.

SHANGHAI II (TYPE 062) CLASS (FAST ATTACK CRAFT-GUN) (PC)
These patrol craft can be used for anti-submarine warfare or mine sweeping. Some 105 are active, evenly divided among the three fleets. They can reach speeds up to 30 knots.

KILO CLASS (TYPE 877EKM/636) (SSK)
Four of these advanced battery/diesel-powered attack submarines are believed to be active in the Chinese fleet. All were purchased from former Soviet bloc nations. With a crew of 52, including 13 officers, these submarines can normally dive to 240 meters, or to 300 meters in an emergency.

ROMEO CLASS (TYPE 033) (SS)
The first of this class of battery/diesel-powered attack submarines was built in the 1960s. Construction stopped around 1987 with the resumption of the ''Ming'' class program. A total of 84 were built and 38 remain in active service, but operational numbers are difficult to access. No submarine spends more than a few days at sea each year because there are not enough trained crews. At least 30 more Romeo class subs are in reserve.

CAS-1 ''KRAKEN'' (YJ-6/C-601)
This long-range, radar-guided, air-to-surface missile shown mounted under the wing of a Xian H-6 bomber of the Chinese Navy (1996). Its design is based on the Soviet P21, known as SS-N-2C ''Styx'' surface-to-surface missile, and was developed in China as a coastal defense and ship-to-ship missile.

NORINCO Type 83 152 mm self-propelled howitzer
This gun manufactured by the NORINCO (China North Industries Corporation) mounted on a full-tracked chassis was first seen in public in October 1984, although it may have entered service some years before. A 12.7 mm Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun is mounted on the roof and a 7.62 mm machine gun is fitted next to the main barrel.
