The People’s Liberation Army Navy has successfully completed its first organized tests of China’s new generation of nuclear submarines, reports the Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily.
The high-pressure tests were reportedly completed by a special research unit inside the PLA Navy which has been responsible for testing almost all of the China’s modern underwater and submarine systems.
“Our country’s new generation of underwater weapons and equipment carries the dream of a powerful national military,” said Fei Zhigang, director of the research unit. “No matter how much risk it puts us under, it’s worth it!”
The research unit was said to have conducted several hundred tests in an unspecified section of the South China Sea, including maiden tests for more than a dozen domestic submarine combat systems.
Numerous domestic underwater records were broken, the People’s Daily said, with the unit’s chief engineer, Cui Zigang, singled out for solving three technical bottlenecks during the tests.
The paper added that submarine torpedoes successful destroyed multiple underwater targets at record depths.
China claims the vast majority of the contested South China Sea and is currently embroiled in a territorial dispute with a number of countries over the region, including the Philippines over the Spratly Islands and with Vietnam over the Paracel Islands.
An engineer in the PLA Navy research unit said the test location is important as new weapons and systems need to be tested in conditions in which they will be deployed in war.
Netizens recently posted photos of a PLA submarine base which showed three Chinese Type 094 Jin Class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. An additional submarine pictured alongside them is believed to be a Type 093 submarine which is armed with various torpedoes and anti-ship missiles.
