The kimchi country is proud, but it has become a model of small boats and cannons.

In the second week of 2020, the first ship of China Class 055 guided missile destroyer was officially put into service and was named Nanchang Ship, which made countless people in China proud. South Korea seems to be quite dismissive of the launch of 055. In their eyes, even if the displacement of the 055-class destroyer is more powerful and comprehensive, the Sejong King-class destroyer of the South Korean Navy is still the first in Asia. This kind of confidence is also very strange and incomprehensible.

When it comes to the destroyer King Sejong, many people will definitely compare it with Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's love. Moreover, for a long time in the past, Korean and Japanese military fans were narcissistic, watching their so-called Asia's first destroyer steal and live a life without seeing Mount Tai. Koreans are the most self-satisfied people on the planet, so King Sejong became the spiritual symbol of the Republic of Korea and was worshipped by all Koreans.

Anyone who dares to say that King Sejong is not good will immediately be attacked by a group of cynical Korean military fans. King Sejong is not perfect. He also has many shortcomings, some of which are even fatal. The first disadvantage of King Sejong's destroyer is the cost. The advanced manufacturing cost of modern weapons is very high, but it is really rare to be as outrageous as King Sejong. The cost of a single destroyer, King Sejong, is as high as $65.438+72 million.

What is the concept of $654.38+700 million? India asked Russia to help it rebuild its aircraft carrier, and Russia asked India for $2.4 billion, while $2.4 billion helped India modernize its aircraft carrier with a displacement of 50,000 tons, which means it is similar to a light aircraft carrier made in South Korea.

However, we must know that the fighting capacity of destroyers and aircraft carriers is not bad at all, and it really costs a lot of money to see kimchi. Perhaps it was because the high unit price of King Sejong could not be afforded, kimchi stopped working immediately after the completion of three destroyers, and even after the completion of three destroyers, the displacement of the last two ships also shrank. South Korea says that money is not enough, which shows how expensive it is to build a destroyer, King Sejong.

In addition to the high cost, King Sejong also has security risks, which come from the firepower armed to the teeth. Out of national pride, the South Korean military is determined to turn King Sejong into an Alibaba Baker version. It's a pity that King Sejong was born in an Alibok class destroyer, so his space is limited. In order to let King Sejong arrange more weapons, the South Korean military extended and widened the destroyer, which greatly damaged its hull rigidity.

Although King Sejong finally had the trinity strike capability of land, sea and air, and was equipped with the 128 vertical launching system (Alibaba Bok 98), the design of his small boat gun forced him to carry out maintenance in advance, which made him feel like he was forty years old and sixty years old.
