🔥♦️China Deploys Type 22 Missile Boats in South China Sea for Interception Missions❗❗
The PLA Navy has deployed its Type 22 fast attack missile boats to support interception and maritime rights protection operations in the South China Sea, countering the presence of much larger U.S. warships weighing 8,000 to 9,000 tons.
Weighing just 220 tons, the stealthy, catamaran-designed Type 22 boats feature waterjet propulsion, allowing speeds of up to 50 knots. Each vessel is armed with eight YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, a 30 mm cannon, and jamming flares.
Though originally developed for coastal defense, the Type 22’s high speed, maneuverability, and low radar profile have proven effective for littoral missions, escort duties, and intercepting foreign vessels — capabilities recently demonstrated in a live operation.
With firepower rivaling that of larger frigates, the Type 22 continues to play a central role in China’s evolving maritime strategy.
