Number of VLS Launchers on China's Latest Nuclear Attack Submarine Type 093B Revealed at 12 Units

From Satellite Images, Number of VLS Launchers on China's Latest Nuclear Attack Submarine Type 093B Revealed at 12 Units. Because it is categorized as a super strategic defense equipment, the construction phase of the submarine gets extra protection. However, the dimensions of the submarine, especially the large nuclear-powered submarine, make it vulnerable to satellite imagery detection. As in the figure of China's latest nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN), Type 093B (NATO code Shang III class) which is the object of the hunt for US and Western intelligence. Sniffing through satellite imagery directed at the construction at Bohai Shipyard, the profile of this submarine can slowly be guessed. Photos of a scale model of the Type 093B nuclear submarine were revealed on local social media. The submarine in the scale model is said to weigh 6,200 tons and is equipped with 18 missile launcher tubes with a vertical launching system (VLS). Now, regarding the missile launcher with VLS, there is the latest news that the number of VLS tubes on the Type 093B submarine is not 18 units, but 12 units. This is based on satellite photos recently published by Tom Shugart at X which reveal new insights into the capabilities of the Chinese Navy, especially the construction of two Type 093B cruise missile submarines. This may be the first time a Type 093B submarine has been captured in such detail, marking a significant moment in the ongoing modernization of the Chinese Navy. According to Shugart, it is this exposed area that offers important clues about the submarine's configuration, potentially confirming that the Type 093B submarine is equipped with 12 vertical launch tubes (VLS)
