April 21, 2023: China commissions into Service its 8th Type 055 Destroyer

The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China recently just commissioned into Service its eighth Type 055 Destroyer, the “Xianyang (108)”. The Type 055 is one of the most heavily-armed Vessels in the World right now with its ability to carry at least 112 Missiles on its Vertical Launch System (VLS) Cells. This will reportedly be the last Type 055 Destroyer of the PLAN, probably for this Batch as previous News Reports said that China was planning to get as many as 16 of these Ships

The J-10 Menglong (Vigorous Dragon), J-20 Weilong (Mighty Dragon) and Flanker Fighter Aircraft of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) are being featured in a new Military-themed Chinese Movie called, “Born to Fly”.
