Type 071 amphibious warfare ships, the Qilianshan and the Wuzhishan recently conducted highly intense, combat-oriented exercises for five days in undisclosed waters, China National Radio reported on Wednesday.
The exercises featured target acquisition, the firing of main guns and close-in weapons systems, and deployment of smoke decoys, video shows.
“We will continue to maintain high training intensity, pursue challenges and compete with other friendly vessels to improve together,” Li Yizhen, captain of the Qilianshan, was quoted as saying after exercises with the Wuzhishan.
Having entered service for under six months, the Qilianshan has gained multiple combat capabilities, including multidimensional troop delivery, air defence and precision anti-ship and land attack, the captain said.
While the exact date of the Qilianshan‘s commissioning was not revealed to the public, a report by China Central Television showed the vessel for the first time in November 2020 and identified it as the eighth hull in its class.
