China își sporește capacitatea rachetelor flotei, reducând decalajul față de SUA

China is enhancing its naval missile capabilities, equipping the new 054B frigate with more missile modules than its predecessors. Although still behind the U.S. in combat capabilities, Beijing is ramping up missile production and submarine construction to strengthen its military dominance in the region. Satellite images reveal the 054B frigate has six missile modules, allowing for approximately 48 missile cells. Despite having more warships than the U.S., China lags in overall firepower, with U.S. surface ships estimated to have around 8,400 missile cells. China is also accelerating submarine construction, indicating a broader military expansion effort.
