Type 056 class corvette
24 May 2021
Algeria has ordered a Chinese-made Pattani or Type 056 class corvette that will be delivered in 2023. The Patani is a class of corvette/OPV (Offshore Patrol Vessel) built by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation. Two ships of this class are already in service with the Royal Thai Navy that were commissioned in 2005.
In 20115/2016 China has delivered three c-28A frigates to Algeria. The three corvettes are fitted with a mix of Chinese and Western systems. The hull-mounted sonar will be of Chinese origin, but Algeria has selected Thales Smart-S Mk2 3D air and surface surveillance radar and Kelvin Hughes for the navigation radar. In recent years, Algeria has purchased a large amount of military equipment from China including SR-5 Multiple Rocket Launch Systems, armed drones CH-3 and CH-4, SM-4 120mm mortar carrier, and Red Arrow-12 anti-tank missiles.
The Type 056 (NATO codename: Jiangdao) is a class of corvette that entered service with the People's Liberation Army Navy in 2012 as a replacement for the Type 037 series of patrol vessels. The ship uses a low radar cross-section hull design providing stealth technology. The anti-submarine warfare (ASW) variant, commonly known as Type 056A, has also entered service with the Chinese Navy.
