    As an effective tool of force projection, the Type-726A Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC), nicknamed "Yema" or wild horse, plays the role of a "supercar on the sea" capable of carrying amphibious armored vehicles.

    With a load capacity of over 50 tons and a speed of approximately 50 knots, the Yema LCAC takes the lead in over-the-horizon amphibious landing operations, cutting through waves at high speed with high stability. Large scale weapon platforms can assemble far away from the range of the coastal defense firepower, then send LCACs to finish force projection in a short time, providing quick combat support against island defensive fighting positions and coastal defense areas.
