During the present "Type 075 landing helicopter dock" Hainan 031 visit to Hong Kong, it was demonstrated that it is outfitted with four QJG02 14.5mm AAA mounts for anti-drone, low-flying helicopter, and speed boat defense. While Americans prefer to install their Ma Deuce.50 Cal Machine Gun on anything that moves on its own, the Chinese are gradually switching to the 14.5mm caliber from their 12.7mm counterpart.
In addition to the Type 075, QJG02 14.5mm AAA is also found at the later copies of the Type056A as well.
