Canada, "Jane's Defense Defense," edited by Andrei Chang author of China's new nuclear submarines made the comment, "Google Earth" satellite photos showed two such submarines in bases.

Type 094 submarine of the hull structure is upgraded from the 092 missiles from nuclear submarines, which means that it is not a new design of the submarine. This shows that despite the Chinese nuclear submarine technology has gone through nearly 30 years of development, but the design level is still far from advanced.

In the towering submarine launched ballistic missile launchers and between enclosures, the distribution of some very large drainage holes, and the missile compartment also has about 100. The rough structure of British law and the latest nuclear submarines and other advanced countries compared to the clean appearance is enormous.

092 and 094 through the details of the two submarines been compared. 094 of the tower is clearly higher than 092, the rear, and submarine-launched missile launchers in the area of convergence angle of 90 degrees, while it is on 092 about 85 degrees. This is both the most obvious appearance of the difference between the submarine, which can be seen on the launch tube 094 to be higher.

It is reasonable to believe that 094 is equipped with the new waves -2 submarine-launched missile. Even so, the submarine shipyard in the 094 looks very shallow draft, it should be and not equipped with waves -2, satellite maps It seems that the same two boats displacement and length.

Therefore, the 094 nuclear submarines have not been very clear that the test waves -2, which was confirmed by U.S. intelligence agencies waves -2 missiles to China has not yet serving analysis.

094 sea trial began in the summer of 2005, giving the overall feeling is: This submarine was built in haste, which may explain why it has above 092 marks. Chinese nuclear submarine built in the area and the world advanced level of technology gap is widening, the designers have some rigid ideas. Case design can be seen only from the submarine 094 noise control technology and Western submarines immeasurably. But waves -2 missile range can compensate for this gap.

China 094 093 ballistic missile submarines and attack submarines latest proof of the structural features of Russia did not intervene between the two designs, while Russia Rubin (RUBIN), a leading designer Design Bureau has repeatedly confirmed this view.

The authorities said earlier that 094 projects of China in Russia had hoped to receive guidance and technical support. In addition to Russia, China has also help Ukraine or Belarus. This addition to confidentiality, it can also ensure that the Chinese do not have to rely solely on Russia.

China's strategic missile submarines with the latest 092-based design concept first appears to be formed as soon as possible in order to enable them to combat power to deter the United States attempts to interfere in the Taiwan Strait affairs.

094 strategic missile submarine is still only 12 launchers, and nuclear submarines in the U.S. and Europe are usually 16-24 months active duty. So few number of strategic ballistic missiles may be unable to effectively deter the enemy.

In volume terms from the missile's operational capability is only about 094 U.S. or the Soviet Union late last century, the level of 60. However, China has announced a 24 submarine-launched missile carrying nuclear submarines images, from a structural point of view is still very much like a 092/094. This means that the next upgrade model 096 will carry more nuclear warheads.

The mid-90s last century, the PLA will upgrade the submarine 092 092M, 094 nuclear submarine was Jibei use it as the development platform. The first one 094 nuclear submarine service, but there is no formal follow-up to the Chinese still continue to build the boat, indicating that the military is conducted at the Modified 092M series of test results is quite satisfactory.

From the same structure, the sonar dome, 092M, and 092 of the command and control system should be basically the same. 092M nuclear submarines equipped with the 262B type of sonar system. Official information that the 093 attack submarines equipped with a new side of the side of the sonar array, but it is not known is not the same sonar system is also used in the 094 last.

Extension: U.S. military reports, behind the Chinese nuclear submarine technology, the noise level is less than the Soviet Union 30 years ago!

U.S. Navy Intelligence Agency report in 2009 that the Chinese technology is still very backward. In recent years the construction of the "Gem" class submarines and the noise level is not built in the former Soviet Union 30 years ago, "Delta" -3 class submarines. Thousands of kilometers away from China, the U.S. Navy in Guam will be able to capture the Chinese "Jin" class submarine noise.

The latest U.S. military's "Sea Wolf" class nuclear submarines than the existing fleet of "Los Angeles" class attack submarines 70 times to be quiet. Some analysts believe that, "Sea Wolf" class submarines to 25 knots cruising speed, the noise than the "Los Angeles" docked at the port level noise to be small.

Because a large technology gap, the U.S. still does not regard China as a submarine combat rapidly increasing major threat. For the United States, China's nuclear-powered submarine gaps are especially large.

Federation of American Scientists Nuclear Information Project Officer Hans - Christensen said the noise problem will make people on the nuclear submarine deterrent role played by doubts. Second-strike capability will be reluctant opponent, but will be assembled in a noisy ballistic missile submarine is not an effective second-strike strategy.

Christensen said: "As the noise problem, the person can quickly find (the Chinese submarines), the other party regardless of U.S. or Russian submarines can win." 095 Chinese submarines recently made some improvement despite the noise , but still lags behind more than 20 years has served the former Soviet Union, "Akula" class nuclear submarines. 095 submarines are expected in 2015 to enter the Chinese Navy.

Against the United States report, "China's Navy: a modern navy with Chinese characteristics," the intelligence report, the U.S. government, a naval experts believe can be interpreted in two ways.

On the one hand, China's silent submarine technology is still far behind the United States. On the other hand China in dealing with the submarine noise're making progress. The official said that in view of the ocean environment is more complex, some of China's submarine can carry out activities under quiet conditions. However, generally speaking, the United States to China is not necessary to detect and track submarines.
