China refits Type 051C destroyer with domestic air-defense systems as legacy fleet phases out
The PLA Navy's Type 051C destroyer Shenyang (hull 115) has been observed in sea trials after a refit that reportedly replaces Russian-made hardware with domestic air-defense systems. This marks a shift in China's naval modernization as it retires legacy warships amid a wave of new vessels. Details remain unconfirmed, but the move signals reduced reliance on Russian defense technology and continued fleet recapitalization.
