US supplies advanced weapons for Submarin Taiwan: What can be surprised by China Fleet

Despite the fact that HAI Kun is considered a submarine of Taiwan's own development, key systems and weapons were provided by Americans. For example, submarines are similar in that they are installed on US Virginia Submarines. They have a number of advantages - electro -optical periscopes do not penetrate the housing, so it is safer for the boat in the event of a random contact with the ship. Another advantage is the modular structure, that is, the masts can be easily replaced with new ones.

And modern optics allows you not to lift the periscope for so long that it reduces the likelihood of its detection. The submarine will be armed with heavy torpedes MK-48 Mod 6 Advanced Technology, supplied by the United States. 18 of them were approved for the sale of Taiwan in 2020. These weapons, though not the latest model, are quite modern. Their carrier will provide both anti -ship and prototic capabilities.

The torpedo will be supplemented by the underwater version of the famous US Navy anti-ship missile, UGM-84 Sub-Harpoon, which are already in service with Taiwan on board the HAI Lunch submarine. Weapons are integrated into the combat management system supplied by Lockheed Martin. The target data comes from the main submarine sensor, a hydro -location complex supplied by Raytheon. It includes a nasal antenna located under torpedo devices, and large lateral antennas going along both sides.

Meanwhile, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (NVAK) closely monitors the situation in the region and carefully monitors its territorial waters. According to Global Times, October 10, an incident with the Philippines submarine, which allegedly burst into the water near the Chinese Island of the Juanian in the South Chinese Sea. "Despite the repeated warnings and refusal of the Chinese side, the Navy's Gunner's boat continued the invasion of the water adjacent to the Chinese island of Juanian.

" - it was in the presents. As a result, the NVAK ships took the necessary measures and "issued" a submarine from the waters near the island. It was also noted that it was not a single attempt by the Philippine Navy to make a provocation, however, according to military analysts, if such actions continue, the Chinese fleet will reciprocate.
