2 days ago Should be HT-1/GJB-5860 850mm-UVLS. Doesn't see the sign of uptake hatch, which is the feature of H/AKJ-16 VLS.

Comments
Since this is a test platform, we can in a sense put export products like FM-3000N on it. We have reason to believe that the testbed is testing some products that are not currently introduced to the PLAN.
It’s RCS and IR signature should be at least the same level with Visby Ship 3345
