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.

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.

Excited to be working with @satellitevu thermal imagery, another layer of remote sensing data that provides a whole new level of insight and detail to our intelligence solutions!

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

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. xitter.cf/AllSourceA/status/1998…

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.
