An inexpensive, fast, low radar RCS missile truck. China already has 80, and no doubt can churn out many more as needed. The missing satellite uplink is VERY easily rectified, and the missile suite may be also augmented. Remember these boats are really designed for use as coastal defence, in pretty shoal waters. For this application, they will do just fine, and their primary low-visibility / anti-ship missile carrier role, with high speed (and high manoeuvrability) will pose a significant problem to any engaging surface force.
Remember how effective the motor patrol boats were able to reak havoc on the japs.
Their only use is to do strategic deception in to making America building LCS.
We need our own counter to this: quickly built, inexpensive, and expendable. We need a submarine equivalent too, if we are serious about a stupid and unnecessary conflict we are going to have to grow our thinking away from Cold War nuclear saber rattling and begin considering what a modern conventional war would look like. I don’t think anybody wants to use nukes unless backed into a corner. That’s a line there’s really no walking away from and there are no victors. We are in a fight for global economic supremacy and I think China is the only country seriously considering what steps are realistic to win control of the pacific and take control of their own destiny.
Type 22 is like DoorDash for massive missiles delivery to targets.
@@AdmiralYeti8042the problem with taking on China with anything cheap and in high numbers is nobody can produce more than China. Whatever it is China can always make way more for cheaper and they have the advantage of just defending their coastal areas. Anything small won't have much range so with small and cheap China has the total advantage. For every drone Western forces can make China can make 10 or more in a fraction of the time. They're the world's factory and already have lots of facilities dedicated to making drones of all types. Once war breaks out for real they won't be making stuff for Ali Express anymore and they'll just flip a switch and start pumping out military drones full time.
I love this ship design. So sleek and beautiful!
All of them is powerful enough to take on the Navies of some smaller maritime nation
In the last 2000 years, small boots are the game changer in naval war.
Yes, first rammers, then corvettes, then motor torpedo boats, then destroyers, and now these things
it`s like toyota of the see lelelele
Spanish Armada Battle Ships Slow Easy Targets for Small English Fast Battle Ships.😂 Same Story. They never Learn.
The problem with that is these are very easy target for the real modern swarm which is aircraft not ships.
In the 1974 "Battle of the Paracel Islands" China used smaller faster boats against South Vietnam's bigger American warships and sunk two of them.
Well done China Super Type 22 Fast powerful Missile Boat.💪💪👏👏👍👍💯💯❤❤
The better the Chinese missiles become, the more relevant these small boats become.
I really like that they equipped it with CIWS, to show that it is not just a complete throw away after launch but can actually defend itself from a response launch
@@nunyadambusiness6902decoys cobson
@@nunyadambusiness6902 Why a submarine would risk detection to kill one of these is beyond me
@@nunyadambusiness6902subs don't go shallow water where these operates. however i agree ciws is kinda useless. it can git a missiles does not mean it will stop it.
It uses the CIWS as the main gun, for better defense, and because a 76mm main gun won't fit in a ship this small
1 might not be good enough but there is no way they are going to fight alone, they are most likely will go in formations with other ship types and fight in group than can cover each other's cons. and numbers alone is also an advantage with how cheap and how small they are@@commie5211
It will not be difficult to incorporate a satellite datalink in the type 22 missile boat 😊. The design is excellent
The Type 22 is so Beautiful!
I would totally mod these. Remove their missiles, and substitute with the ability to launch a swarm of Lancet type drones. Launching 24-36 loitering drones out of one of these would be very devastating. Even though the payload would be small, they would be almost impossible to shoot down. The drones can also be used for shore attack as well.
I was thinking the same exact thing.
The Ukraine war is showing loitering drones to be devasting where hypersonic missles are now "meh".
Suicide drones has far shorter range than anti-ship missiles.
Unless you want to use this small missile boats against enemy big ships just to saturate the enemy's radars and sensors.
Agree! That’s the best use for this fast boat in today’s world.
Now that DJI is being targeted by the NATO countries, they may shift production to 5 million military drones delivered annually
They already have that variant. It is combine with heli carriers and drone ship.
these are pretty impressive little boats. Watching this I wonder if the hull design can be adapted for other mission profiles as well such as electronic warfare, ASW, and air defence. Since the catamaran design is stable in high seas, I would think it's possible to have these operate alongside major surface combatants on extended long range patrols. Provided there is a support ship also for resupply.
If so, they could potentially be a major force multiplier for the PLAN as they provide a lot more firepower to a fleet while also increasing the number of threats an opposing force would have to deal with.
Type 22's primary mission has been taken over by type 56 corvette. These boats were in semi retirement for a very long time and only recently were reintroduced into South China Sea (as patrol boats IMHO).
Where did you get this from? It's the type 56 that has been transferred to coast guard. The type 22 is much faster and smaller and can pack just as much punch in Taiwan scenarios. Speed and small size is key here, these are basically expendable but probably also more survivable due to smaller size and speed.
@@ex0duzz He's right, the transfoerred 56s are the early model.
probably the drone version is coming, but the shipyards busy crunching submarines, 055, 075, and aircraft carrier.
Both are true actually, since the chinese are basically the 022s for patrol missions and high speed transports
Both are true actually, since the chinese are basically the 022s for patrol missions and high speed transports
Modern naval warfare is basically a shootout between glass cannons. Any ship can effectively mission kill any other ship. With how destructive modern weapons are, once a hit is sustained, you can expect the surface combatant to be out of commission for the rest of the campaign.
I see no reason why PLAN would not upgrade the data link on type 022.
With enough lithium batteries, one could do that..
most 022s have been mothballed, and only a small number are used as high-speed patrol ships. At present, the Chinese Navy is mass-producing large warships, and there are no extra sailors to waste on small ships. Even the original 056 corvette has been decommissioned and handed over to the Coast Guard.
These can also be useful as boat drone commands ships. Just add one or two more crew members in there for controlling the attack drones. can be like those old side scrolling shooter video games that have like your small spaceship surrounded by drones as you get power ups that you can send forwards first towards to attack the enemy. 😂
Type 22 is like DoorDash for massive missiles delivery to targets.
How about installing long-ranged anti-ship and anti-air missiles. That will really be cost effective, built cheaply and numerous to kill off any US and US allied task forces in the South China Sea.
These things are small, and are supposed to be. No room for any of that. Longer ranges for those missiles makes them larger which needs larger boats.
Not really needed as there are hundreds of missile bases based in China that can launch missles that can reach GUAM and possibly hawaii.
Adding swarm of surface drones to 022s and other large surface combatants would make a formidable coastal defense task force against enemy navy battle groups.
These missile boat can be used in blue waters. All it needs is a mothership, like a repair ship which is a cargo ship like but with 2/3 of their middle craved out. that can take on water to lower itself into the ocean then these boats can drive up into their stalls and after that the ship purge out the water from the ballast and rise up lifting these missile boats out of the water and resting on the deck of the mothership. I'm sure these mothership can carry over 20 of these boats. That can make for 4 or more wolf packs to be used as a flanking move on carrier fleet.
These units have almost zero anti-air capability, it is basically a kamikaze boat with anti-ship missile. Unless they are convert into unmanned drones, if not these semi-retire boat can only do some coastal guard task not too far away from Chinese base in South China Sea.
@@不死原飴羽 Come on, a fresh naval recruit would know a frigate would shadow them. You do know the only time you would deploy these boats is when a carrier force is spotted. I guess a battle group can be considered as a Chinese base, no? Also like combined arms warfare on land, one would have it on the sea too. You have radar planes, and J-35 in the future, that will be the eyes and protection. All the data will be linked. Suicide mission, nah. Dangerous of course, it's war.
They do, there's a video where PLA-Navy used this missile boat to bully and harass the ships of other claimant countries.
Some of this missile boats were deployed on China's artificial islands.
@@不死原飴羽 yes，most 022s have been mothballed, and only a small number are used as high-speed patrol ships. At present, the Chinese Navy is mass-producing large warships, and there are no extra sailors to waste on small ships.

Do you have any plan to make more vids about NK naval vessels? They have some capable designs
And to any boat lovers... Retired Type 022 will be a good choice to be used as base for refit as yacht!
I reckon China could easily address some of these weaknesses you mentioned. Especially when it comes to the datalink. Once it has access to better missiles possibly in the future these smaller but heavily armed boats will make all the difference
Regardless of having a stealthy design beeing a small target is a stealthy feature in itself. Quite a usefull boat concidering it’s firepower.
They can use a GPS Cell Phone to locate All Ships.
Only if you have 5G.
Does the collective West have real working 5G networks?
Scammers 😂😂😂
The boat really is a remnant of old PLAN doctrine and more or less supersuced by aircraft umder the current doctrine. The one trick pony nature of the boats does make them useful near shore ambush attacks either hear TW strait or in northern part of SCS. However, it does need new datalinks and new missiles. The current ~120km YJ82 is making penetration impossible against any sort of modern navy with intact ISR, the new export CM-802B have range of 290km+ and YJ12 should technically fit with in the current space as well. However, is worth it to upgrade 80 platform when the same thing can be better delivered bu J-16s or even H-6s is another call. Perhaps the widely floated idea of converting them to drone platforms for shore bombadment is not a bad idea.
Maybe a combination of both? Loitering drones and anti-ship missle boats.
One won't know which 022 is able to do that and will waste resources concentrating on them.
These boats are able to get close enough to Taiwan shore to fire Hongjian-12 (China's Javelin equivalent) at shore/off-shore targets.
I always thought it was like a 2 man crew until now but well that explains a lot about its power 😅
These fast attack craft have a key role to play within the South China Sea in keeping surface ships of the US navy out of the area. The shear fire power and numbers will cause issues for US vessels. Being coastal vessels they will in most cases be supported by aircraft from mainland airfields during any attack further complicating defence by US navel vessels.trying to get close to any convoy landing fleet against Taiwan by China.
The type 022 won't be alone. They most definitely will be supported by frigates, destroyers, subs, aircraft.
Oh and lets not forget about the thousands of missles bases in China.
There is even rumour of a drone fleet.
The 22 is meant to be yet another nail in the coffen of any intruders into China's 2,000 mile of pacific domination.
You clearly have never been on the water because you would know that is not how things work. These are patrol boats they are shallow water craft they can't just go sailing at war ships, that is just not how it works. All boats at sea have a design depending on the mission. You simple don't know, but it's ok, not everyone understands.
@@drscopeify I think everyone understand that. Keep in mind these boats have missles than can traverse at least 100 miles, so if they are in the China sea, they can reach anywhere around Taiwan and slightly beyond in the very least. They are also rumoured to have the ability to launch hundreds of loitering drones that can go 500 to 1,000 miles distances. This is devasting for any carrier fleet. Keep in mind, this is from just one, small, cheap boat in China's A2D complete system.
@@drscopeify I took the time to review the US navy move into these vessels and the total failure to understand the issues involved. Shear stupidity of two seperate designs coming out of different shipyards before the Modular’s change in military tasks required even being finalised. Hence early decommissioning leaving the US navy short of the right ships.
Now these Chinese vessels are designed for a task and that is operating from the man made islands ( increasing in numbers) across the SCS. They spread the defence forces away from these islands and present a numbers issue for any US military intervention in this area. Covered by mainland airforce and short and medium range anti shipping rockets and missiles I see them as a well balance and adequately design vessel dispute what your trying to outline. My view is they meet the needs of China as it enforces its views on adjoining countries over the dash nine ocean grab.
To są kutry patrolowe wersja Osa2 i takie powinny u nas być !!! Dawniej nazywali je KS y
They will be able to also you them to protect their fishing grounds. Good to see. Only regional country's should protect shipping unless they request help .
Nah, the coastguard's fishing patrol boats are like 4-12,000 tons.
Pretty cool but somebody spilt a bunch of blue paint on it.
Yeh, I dunno what everyone is worried about. They are fast, cheap, missile boats and the best in the world.
Acting like fast missile boats is obsolete is ridiculous, especially when they will be operating inside China s A2AD umbrella and also protected by more capable ships, subs, whole of Chinese air force etc. China will have drones and satellites tracking and scouting, they don't need to use their own radar. They just need to fire missiles when their command tells them to. The missiles just need to be capable enough and guided by Chinas more capable assets.
Exactly. I think people are reacting like these boats will used to invade the US all by themselves! LOL/
They are in support under China's A2AD which makes them quite deadly in this scenario.
these missile boats are the dream ship of countries like Iran , small but lethal
Once the PLA has enough AWACS adding a link to these boats will change the whole situation.
These are very old boats they are not going to change anything but you can use them for patrolling tasks at Chinese ports or staging areas.
I see these accompanying an amphibious landing. Seriously large missiles nearby to quickly deliver massive ground destruction on demand.
@@douginorlando6260 Well that has only limited use against land targets and Taiwan has really the best bunker networks in the world so you are going to need more than missiles.
Long endurance DJI drones can locate everything on the surface. Ground penetrating radar can locate real bunkers from decoys. Each missile from the Type 022 can eliminate a key bunker.
China's early solution of anti-carrier, now that China has better solutions, I think type 22 can be a good product for export. Just imagine that some carrier go to your country for shiit reason like freedom of navigation, and they sudently saw 8 missilles apeared on their radar and no time to react.
Are the Type 22 fast attack boats that useful to PLAN these days given Chinese naval defense has moved far from its shores? It's also instructive new boats aren't being produced. Such boats may be more useful to countries like Iran where they can provide overwhelming firepower in the confined Persian Gulf.
For Taiwan and access denile for adversary navies? YES.
No these are of no use except maybe patrol tasks or guarding some staging area.
You could view them as costal and mobile anti-ship missile launchers. It’s quicker to move around a 40 knot boat with 8 missiles than moving them around on land.
they are docked in the South China Sea. They are useful there and the East China Sea and Taiwan straits.
most 022s have been mothballed, and only a small number are used as high-speed patrol ships. At present, the Chinese Navy is mass-producing large warships, and there are no extra sailors to waste on small ships. Even the original 056 corvette has been decommissioned and handed over to the Coast Guard.
Add a DL and make it a drone ship. Could probably also carry more fuel with the space saved.
Great Assets
Ramped playback to 1.5x just to listen. Too slow narrative
Chillout, these are just left overs from the days when Chinese Navy's war plan was to sneak up on enemies and throw grenades, literally
Replace all on board missiles with small drones. That’ll really make a difference.
I wonder what it would be like to be assigned to serve on a vessel with no defense to speak of and easily detectable by a peer adversary like the US. This type of craft probably wouldn't even get close enough to fire weapons except at a careless target.
PLA-Navy will use this missile boats close to shore, butbin recent years they also deployed them in the South China Sea to bully and harass the ships of other claimant countries.
They were based on Chinese artificial islands.
Wolf pack mentality of swarming a larger combatant, the Type 022 missiles are deadly !
These are very old ships and are easy targets for aircraft, but you can use them a s patrol boats.
@@drscopeify Not that old, first ship of the class was in 2004 and they built 83 of them so last ship is somewhere in 2014 which makes them pretty new as a ships life is anywhere from 30-35 years. As they are coastal patrol boats if an enemy aircraft is that close to the mainland then you have another problem at hand plus they all have a CIWS and the missiles can be switched from SAS to SAM or carry a combination of both ! These boats have more firepower and weapons range than the US Navy's Littoral Class ships tells you how adequate they !
@@etow8034"they all have CIWS and the mssiles can be switched from SAS to SAM"
You mean the Chinese licensed copy of AK-630? Thoee old Soviet CIWS were obsolete by modern standards and lacks range to engage enemy aircrafts engaging in missile attacks against your ship. Never heard that this Type 022 can also carry SAM, I'm not aware if it has a fire control radar that can be use to direct SAM to hostile aircrafts.
"These boats have more firepower and weapons range than the US Navy's Littoral Combat Ships"
Everyone knows how crappy those LCS are but don't overhype the capabilities of the Type 022. The PLA-Navy doesn't do that and so should you. ICYMI, those crappy LCS still carries a 57mm gun, SeaRAM (better than the AK-630), 8 Harpoon/NSM, and could also theoretically carry ESSMs thru the use of EXLS (4 cell Mk.41 VLS).
Right on time ! I just finished upgrading this ship in Modern warships game
I have no doubt they are working on an upgraded version that does require a crew.
You mean "does not require a crew".
The Type 022 packs more firepower and range than any of the US Navy's Littoral Class ships at 1/8 the cost !
Both ship class carries the same anti-ship missile load while those LCS can carry more due to their size.
I agree that th Type 022 can do more (offensively) at a fraction of the cost of LCS.
@@paulsteaven If you can't sink a ship with 8 missiles you need better sailors !
@@etow8034 your 'better sailors' argument still applies to the US Navy.
@@paulsteaven Your presumptions and assumptions ! ...LoL People don't live forever so its a bullshit argument that the western mainstream media uses !
40 knots opens up possibilities. If stationed out of South China Sea islands, then during the night they could arrive anywhere in the 9 dash line.
40 knots would allow rapidly positioning between high value assets and an oncoming mini drone swarm. If armed with an anti mini drone swarm weapon system, then it would intercept them. Mini drone swarms are an under rated threat. The 40 knot speed works because existing mini drones do not fly fast nor high, giving the 40 knot boat time to move into place.
can the launchers be upgraded for YJ-18? seems there's room for extension
If so, then I see these boats providing the ability to quickly shift anti ship dominance to wherever needed. Imagine some stationed at S China Sea islands. Overnight they could move to the edge of the 9 dash line and then launch volleys of 1000 Km range antiship missiles.
@@douginorlando6260 they already are in the SCS
Is it possible for them to operate in open sea by getting supplies from destroyers and supply ships?
A very capable design for coastal defense or against a force without airborne radar.
A key component for the Type-22 is its datalink. The missile boat has very limited over-the-horizon sensors capability. The atmospheric condition has to be favorable and the accuracy is poor. As you said, the effectiveness of the long- ranged missiles is dependent on other sensor platforms. I am really curious as to why it doesn't have a more capable datalink.
I really question its capability against a US carrier group. I really do not think a carrier group would come within 300 miles of China's coast or fail to have airborne radar up at all times. However, it would be very effective against an invasion force or against a non-peer power.
The Type 022 was designed almost 25 years ago and as one of the responses to the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis.
The 022 needs to accomplish only one thing, to utilize its stealth capability and speed advantage to move forward to the attack position and launch the missile. It is not involved in post-launch missile navigation, so a capable datalink is not necessary. And capable datalink is not cheap, 022 hull is already expensive, high maintenance costs(PLAN standard), plus 8 missiles price is even more expensive.
022 no longer meets Naval tactics and will not continue to be built. It's a beautiful ship anyway
BTW Type 022 's Chief Ship Designer is a woman.
4:32 the Chinese need to bild something like the "Defiant" in Star Trek. Small and Powerful. They need at least 400 of them.
That would be an easy target for aircraft. Even a modern attack helicopter can take out as many a 20 small boats at the same time. Very dangerous proposition.
if they dont have aesa radar. they are not get a lock on a US ship.
US Navy has very powerful jammers and electronic warfare systems.
like in the 90s, Iraq's french and soviet anti-ship missiles could barely hit anything.
they need data link to satellites to guide the missile to targets.
P00R USA cant even build a working 5G network, let alone powerful jammers.
You watch too many Bollywood or Hollywood movies.
😂😂😂😂
Type-055?
They guide them
these boats aren’t expected to find targets by themselves. Other platforms detect targets and transfer target locations to them. They try to get within range and launch missiles.
If the USA tries to engage China, the ENTIRE satallite system is the FIRST to go.
EVERYONE knows this. Even the satallites way out in geosynchronous orbit are GONE.
These leaves AWICS/land/ship/drone communication left which China would have all four, but the USA might have just ship...for awhile...
@@xsu-is7vq If PLA can fit jets with aesa radar.
PLA Navy should also fit these missile-boats with aesa radar.
the old pesa radars are a liability.
aesa radar is also stealthy
China: Don't get to know me through the media
Awesome work by China !
next upgrade, cloaking device. Just kidding.
Maybe do a ranking or comparison of these small boats
That would interesting....
I'd love for you to talk about the Iranian Shahed Soleimani class corvettes which has a comparable design to this naval ship.
There are honestly terrible. They have absolutely no air defense, and there's no way they're getting close to a competent opponent. At 36kts, they're not especially fast. Most destroyers as well as US carriers can travel faster. They are in semi-retirement at this point. They're stealthy, but not that stealthy. It'll still show up, just as a much smaller boat. If you see 80 rowboat sized craft coming towards you, you can just send out a helicopter and whack them with hellfires or pretty much anything.
Planes work better at delivering missiles. As well as submarines. There's no reason to use this over a pile of JH-7s.
I think still can be used to deplete enemy resources or to confuse their defense because suddenly so many missiles coming at the same time.
How about developing milk cow submarines to refuel and rearm in high sea?
This would be a perfect the Iranian navy in the straight of Hormuz.
Straight of Hormuz and the China Sea are very analogous to each other.
Both have A2AD to any adversary stupid enough to try anything, though, China's A2AD is much more numerous and advanced than Irans,
Iran's A2AD is nothing to sneeze at.
Kamekaze drone swarm will sink all that fast attack boats! Imagine hundreds of mini drones with 100 pound warheads heading towards that? Dropped from C130 super Hercules!
22 has several defense mechanims to shoot such drones down, CIWS, rockets, other.
The hercules will first need to detect them and *IF* the Hercules can survive being shot down by the countless missiles fired at it.
Nope.
The Hercules has no hope of getting close enough!
Excellent ❤
Bro, don't 4get fast attack missile boats main aim is 2 SINK ENEMY AIRCRAFT CARRIERS ! 2) frigates store extra ASBMs in their weapons bay/ cargo hold. 3) FAMBs will need to rendezvous w/ support vessel/ mother ship to re-stock ASBMs that were used to SINK ENEMY AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
Quantity... Has a quality all of its own.
the wedgetail can detect a wooden dingy with one person as far as 450km away... not sure how this is stealth... force multiplier sure.
ADDING THE RADAR ONLY IN COUPLE OF A LITTLE BOATS AND KEEPING THEM IN DISTANCE CAN HELP 😊🌈
Interestingly, Taiwan has fewer missile boats than the People's Liberation Army.
Why interesting? Taiwan doesn't have the budget or domestic manpower or production capabilities to compete with China in anything..
@@ex0duzzexactly and CCP have the audacity to bite the hand that feeds them. Pathetic.

Btw if you learn history true Chinese leader and the culture resides on Taiwan before CCP take over china.
@@aaad3552 what you talking about? China is defending itself. Its Taiwan, Japan, sk, USA who's more reliant on China to keep up their economics and get products they need. It is USA who is trying to provoke and start a war, not China.
Aint nothing about CCP. Replace CCP with Chinese people, since Chinese people support cpc and defending China sovereignty and also unifying with Taiwan/ROC. If anything Chinese people are even more hawkish and wonder why CPC isn't taking a harsher stance. So cpc is basically the moderating force. If Chinas gov was like. Western liberal democracy style, they would have unified by force long ago.
That was introduced over a decade ago.
The PLAN doesn't like them.
Realy I like it they are so powerful
Houbei Class...
I expect these boats to accompany an amphibious invasion. Each one can deliver massive ground destruction quickly on demand with the huge missiles so near the landing zone.
It would be cool if you could also take a look at the missile boats of the ROC Navy, the Tuo Chiang class and the smaller, but also very powerful Kuang Hua class? They have similar weapons, but especially the Tuo Chiang would be really interesting to have a look at and the strategy they would be used in (possibly attacking PRC fleets and then hiding up rivers or estuaries and rearming)
He already has a video on ROC Navy that touched on ROC missile boats. Tuo Chiang class are being built slowly and don't have enough numbers yet. Kuang Hua class have the numbers but doesn't have its on search radar according to that video.
@@codyandrex152Ahh right I see.
I guess the production rate is not that fast but 4 of the Tuo Chiang and 7 of the Anping (which is basically the coast guard version, can be armed with the same weapons) are already in service. In total theyll have 24 of these ships which will pose a threat to any invasion fleet.
About that search radar on the Kuang Hua, I have to assume youre right, they only have a navigation radar. But they are equipped with data link, so other ships, ground and airborne radar as well as drones can vector them to enemy ships and relay them firing parameters
You know that kilotons are a measure of explosive mass?
We are talking about missile boats here
What's the point if it's so vulnerable
Consider the history backgound in 1990s, when PLAN was weak and couldn't built enough warships, they designed Type 22. It was some kind of desperate measure to encounter USN fleet if Taiwan Strait goes hot. Type22's mission is to trying to get close to enemey's fleet and overwhelm their defense system by a swarm of fast cheap boats with anti ship missiles, which can be described as a suicide attack.
Who said it's so vulnerable? They will be protected by jets, and other ships and subs also, and they will be operating inside first island only under Chinese coastal missile batteries. But if China needs fast boat to chase and strike, they have it.
They would be great for patrol SCS and making sure USAs other vassals stay out. Like pH, Vietnam, sk, Japan.
You can basically sink a carrier/destroyer with these if you send enough missiles their way. It's all about numbers. China has like 80 of these. They compliment China's other naval ships quite well. Better to have diversity and a lot of ships than just 1 destroyer type and much less numbers. Chunas coastal missiles batteries will sink them too easy.
When this ship was developed and built, China did not have a navy of its present size. The idea was to attack the carriers with a large number of Type 22s and be prepared for them not to come back.
@@ex0duzzChina is also to sink any US ship from missiles fired from its mainland. They can reach Hawaii.
Now attacking a base in mainland China is armageddon. End of human history.
So put that in your equation of defending Taiwan.
@@johnsmith1953x Nonsense ballistic missiles like that are very easy to defend against. Also the USA can easily attack mainland China very easily.
Iran needs these !
Today, ships relying purely on stealth for defense is an obsolete concept against Tier 1 powers - a modern AESA equipped AWACs like the KJ-600 or E-2D have the sensitivity and post processing power to pick out a -15dbsm target at over 200km, and its questionable if a >200 ton aluminum boat designed by 2004 China even reaches -10dbsm!
I think the time of FAC spam is over. They were heavily emphasized by Scandinavian countries in an era where radars (especially Soviet systems) had problems picking out small targets from coastal clutter. An early-mid Cold War Soviet radar operator could not be sure whether he was seeing a small rock sticking out of the waves or an enemy attack craft. But in an age of ever more powerful computers and exquisitely sensitive radars designed to sniff out 20-25 ton composite/RAM aircraft, a 200 ton metal warship is going to have trouble.
"Made in China", I think enough has been said... lol
Fun fact: all 80 of these could wipe out the entire eastern fleet of the US>
lol ok
Your acting as if alot of the mistake won't be intercepted
Saturation attack. If they waste all their anti air missiles to defend against these, then Chinas bigger ships missiles will get through. Or their jets, or their land based anti ship missiles.
It's simple math. USA ships don't have enough to defend in Chinese backyard. These just make it even worse. If USA wastes all their missiles to defend or destroy these expendable ships, then they already done their job.
@@sharequsman596Are you so sure? :D
That's simply not how things work. These are shallow water craft so are on a totally different scale than a fleet of war ships but can be used for patrol tasks for sure.
They Sink the Nimitz in minutes. Nimitz Slow Easy Target. These missile Boats are a real Defense Force. Support China ❤️.
"The Type 22 does not have any anti-submarine capability". Nor should it - if a US sub commander wastes a one ton torpedo to sink a 220 ton missile boat then that will probably soon be a dead US sub commander...
Pretty sure the Chinese PLANN no longer makes this ship.
Can make more stealth with pumping and nebulizing water around the vessel?
Can nebulizzata water be radar absorbed?
These will never play a true role in a SCS scenario, they’ll do an amazing job containing and controlling the Taiwanese Navy, though that’s about it, IMO. To the USA, SK, JP, UK and others, they’ll be borderline irrelevant.
Disagree. One of these missile boats can take down and enture US CARRIER FLEET.
*IF* they can get in range. They can also waste resources on the adversary trying to contain them.
022 are knows to launch loitering drone fleets that are controlled by satellite/AWICS/ships/land.
These drones can traverse 1,000 miles. Its scary what these little boats can do!!
@@johnsmith1953x It’ll never be able to get in striking distance, the drone threat is legit, though the US will be able to defeat that via various “methods”.
@@johnsmith1953x Maybe in the 1980s but that's not going to work in 2020s. Also these cannot go in to deep waters for much at all so it's not going to be of much use except for patrols.
@@JD-dm1ujIncorrect. The US "methods" aren't some Harry Potter magical mystery tour that can render incoming smart missiles and thousands of loitering drone inoperative sparkie. Quit jacking off on phub son, its rotting ur brain!!
@@johnsmith1953x"one of these missile boats can take down and enture US CARRIER FLEET"
Nice joke dude, even the PLA-Navy high command knows that your thoughts and idea is a pipe dream.
Type 022 have long been retired and mothballed, it is now just been reactivated but only assigned as island based patrol boats for South China Sea...

One of the ways such missile boats can be effectively used is to impose a blockade in a forced reunification scenario. Taiwan is only 90 miles off the Mainland's coast, & the overwhelming majority of its ports (& thus cargo handling capacity) is located on the western side of the island, facing the Mainland. These missile boats, along with SSKs (such as the mini-sub recently discussed by HI Sutton) & UUVs can do the majority of the leg work for imposing a blockade, with the support of land-based coastal command & control. This would enable the growing fleet of capital assets (e.g. PLAN CVBGs) to concentrate on fending off foreign intervention. These fast attack boats can also be used to hunt down the remnants of the RoCN once hostilities commence.
That's not how it works, these are shallow water craft. You are confusing different types of ships and they mission. These are not going to be of much use in a modern invasion but you can use them as patrol boats to keep your ports safe while a war is going on.
@@drscopeify Most of the Taiwan straits & East China Sea is shallow water. Also, keep in mind that the Type 022 doesn't need to venture far out given the range of its anti ship missiles. It would be patrolling off the coast of Fujian to cover the approaches to Taiwan's west coast ports. The few ports on the east side can be covered by other assets.

I think they only created those ships for south china sea hence the limited range. RIP southeast asia.
They are for coastal defense.
These things are like a leaf. They easily turn over.
你们外国人不知道22艇是铝制船体吗？要经常上岸维护的。是当时中国海军没有足够能力守护海岸线的妥协产物，已经没有继续生产的计划了
Go CHina!!! ✌🤟✊👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪
That thing was made due to the PLAN was lacking of the Type 052D destroyers but they urgently need the strong anti-ship firepower to face the US Navy's Carrier Strike Group. They are guerillas on the sea.
Now the PLAN has adequate numbers of destroyers and having their own aircraft carriers. So Type 022 is no longer needed.
They are a great supplement to bigger ships, especially in any local fight inside first island chain or Taiwan. Otherwise all the enemies missiles will be aimed at the bigger boats. Having just one type of ship and all costing a billion or more each like arleigh burke is too easy to hard counter. USA had no option though since they aren't fighting off their coast so they need big everything but china doesn't. It's similar concept to Chinas subs. Better to have smaller stealthier diesel electric subs complementing than just all nuclear subs. At least for coastal defense, which is Chinas whole thing since they arent fighting wars in other side of the world.
the 022 were constructed when 052C were just starting construction. 052D was not even on the drawing board at the time.
no such thing... every piece has a part to play. destroyers and the missiles they carry are expensive. this is about saturation. these cheaper missiles activate missile defense systems while the more powerful ships send out the "big guns"
@@Amidat most 022s have been mothballed, and only a small number are used as high-speed patrol ships. At present, the Chinese Navy is mass-producing large warships, and there are no extra sailors to waste on small ships. Even the original 056 corvette has been decommissioned and handed over to the Coast Guard.
Maybe they can help with all the flooding.
Mini dragon missile boat can b a real potent to those stumpy large ships of nationalist yanks which r bulky slow & useless to those mini dragon boat that r agile & fast + difficult to hit. Time when size is not the good thing.
I think 🇹🇼 had a bigger, faster, more powerful, more heavily armed costal attack boat. Forgot the name.
I want one when they're decommissioned ❤ please...
The real strength of such a ship is their numbers and ability to match a fishing boat on radar. if the PLAN can get them into a conflict zone and operate the way, say PT boast did in ww2, these little suckers can pop up anywhere. The fact they can strike with a good salvo of ASM is nice, however forcing your enemy to consider every 200 ton plus fishing boat as a threat becomes a whole new set of problems..
The Helo crews are going to fly a lot of miles.... To be fair the C702/704 series could be fitted to any fishing boat in hours. While not super powerful it would add hundreds of threats that would need to be taken into account. Chinas maritime militia might be more than bumper boats in a conflict.
Their no chance a enemy aircraft carrier could survive in their seas.
Swarm of Kamikaze drones are less expensive and more effective
08:40 "...via friendly ships who in turn...". Shouldn't it be "...which in turn..."
It could be either in this case. Ships are operated by humans, so...
