China
has acquired various Russian-produced naval equipment in large quantities.
In 2004 Russia signed the contract with China to supply 96 MR-90 (NATO
reporting name: Front Dome) fire control radars to be installed on the
Type-054A frigates and to be integrated with the HHQ-16 naval surface-to-air
missiles systems. The deliveries of the MR-90s were started in 2008. As
of late 2015, the Asian country received 80 such radars, according to
the Stockholm Institute. In 2013-2014 two of four ordered MR-123 (Bass Tilt) fire control radars were supplied by Russia for Chinese Zubr-class air-cushion landing craft. China is supposed to be producing Russian naval equipment under license (or without it). In 2004-2015 103 30mm AK-630 close-in weapon systems were manufactured for Type-054 (Jiangkai I) firgates, Type-022 (Houbei) missile boats, Type-071 docks and Zubr-class craft. In 2013-2015 China produced 23 AK-176 naval guns for Type-056 (Jiangdao) frigates and 10 Mineral (Band Stand) sea search radars for Type-052C (Luyang II) and Type-052D (Luyang III) destroyers. In 2008-2015 20 Mineral radars were manufactured for Type-054A frigates. According to SIPRI, the combined Russian arms supplies to China in 2014-2015 were valued at USD 1.538 billion. © Copyright 2015 TASS. All rights reserved.
