They can carry out short-range attacks and destroy incoming missiles, the last line of self defense.
Lin Hai, Head, Joint Manoeuvre Taskforce, said, "Today's live fire training went well. Open-sea training is hazardous and demands top skills from both commanders and troops. The training tests and improves the Chinese navy’s command and coordination capability as well as comprehensive combat capability in accomplishing a range of tasks. It also gives the navy experience in open-sea military action. "
