Chinese anti-missile testAccording to January 13 issue of “Global Times” reported that China suddenly announced the successful anti-missile tests triggered on the 12th as the world’s media guessing a great discussion. Who had worked in the German military experts on the 12th level of China’s anti-missile as “a mystery” and said the majority of western strategic scholars and technical experts to master the information is “very limited”; British “Financial Times” On the same day the report is quite unhappy to say that China’s official media only “one sentence statement.” 12 multi-national media coverage of China are mostly guessing camel, anti-missile test.

Agence France-Presse that China has chosen and publicly at this time is similar to the U.S. “missile defense system” weapons, intended to show strength in order to balance the United States recently decided to sell Taiwan the “Patriot -3″ anti-missile systems. Reported that the missile defense system is very high technical threshold, members even than the “nuclear club” countries even less. AP said that China’s official media have not reported in great detail, but it is believed that China has been researching and developing stealth fighter shot down, and lay or destroy cruise missiles and precision-guided weapons systems.

British “Guardian” 12 Australian experts benefits Lincecum quoted as saying that “my understanding is that the Chinese have long prepared for trial, and the present is just a pretext.” 86F French radio analysts believe that China has felt that in the the field of defense appropriate and transparent than be kept in confidence more have a double effect, namely the one hand, deter potential adversaries, on the other inspire national confidence. Hong Kong’s “South China Morning Post” 12 said on condition of anonymity, said a military analyst in Shanghai: “China knows that not only verbal protest.

Jane’s said the PLA disarmament in the future of a further 700,000

Dec 17

Posted by admin in China, Defense Report | No Comments

Jane's said the PLA disarmament in the future of a further 700,000December 16, 2009 published in the latest issue of British “Jane’s Defense Weekly” published a lengthy Annual Defence Report, this ten-page report by Jane’s of several journalists around the world to work together to complete, according to the geographical distribution of recalling the global events of 2009.

The report refers to Taiwan still hopes to obtain 66 F-16C / D, is also eager to get F-22, F-35 fighters, as well as diesel-electric submarines, the report that the United States to sell Taiwan’s UH-60M “Black Hawk” helicopters, AH-64 ” Apache “attack helicopters and PAC-3″ Patriot “anti-aircraft missiles the prospect of more” optimistic “; the same time, the continent is the procurement system of Ukraine 4 Zubr-class heavy-duty air-cushion landing ship, this type of hovercraft have the ability for potential Taiwan Strait the war, a move designed to “remind” Taipei – the mainland’s military development, the main focus of which still contain the Taiwan Strait area.

In the report “China and China Taiwan” part of the first mentioned, the so-called “China threat” argument may have become in international politics being discussed, one of the most enduring, but Beijing in 2009 to release the information right to quell the controversy plays a minor role.

The report said China’s National Defense White Paper biennial in the January 2009 publication, issued the usual friendly voice: PLA or is being modernized, but this (the outside) no cause for concern, because China’s military planning “the essence of on a purely defensive in nature. ”

The report goes on to say, more meaningful is that the Chinese in March to promote restoration of military ties with the United States (Sino-US military exchanges in late 2008 because the United States arms sales to Taiwan was interrupted), this result is that, in June , a high-level delegation of the United States and China held an important “confidence-building” talks. The talks provided such a hope, that the U.S. Navy near the Chinese waters or in Chinese waters within the existing surveillance activities triggered by the friction will not be allowed to deteriorate to upgrade than the current has been confirmed, “irritability, but in fact harmless” the sea of confrontation to a more dangerous situation.

Jane’s report also said that Beijing’s negotiations on the Korean nuclear issue played the dominant role of positive and encouraged by Governments, China began with the Asian countries held joint military exercises as well, such as with Singapore in June a joint exercise held in Singapore, sent to China to participate in the exercise of armed force.

The People’s Republic of China in October in the 60th anniversary of the National Day military parade on a large scale, showing more than 50 types of new defense equipment to India and China Taiwan region, this is not a complete elimination of concerns for surrounding gesture. On display in the parade in new equipment, including a DH-10 land attack cruise missiles and KJ-2000 airborne early warning and control (AEW & C) aircraft, while the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) of new H-6K bombers, cruise missiles have been the first time in August appearance, ZTD-05-type amphibious assault vehicles, ZBD-09 type 8 × 8 and ZBD-03 infantry combat vehicles, airborne vehicles and other equipment type in the parade for the first time appearance, which is essentially the rise of China’s military power The frankly expose.

The report mentions, with the National Day military parade at the same time, the PLA is also considering streamlining of personnel on the large, which is a long-term plan to modernize and professionalize the military part of the next few years, the PLA 2.185 million active duty troops, will cut more than up to 700,000 troops.

The Chinese government has made early in 2009 decided to send naval contingent to help patrol the Somali waters, which is another significant gesture, a friendly against China “camp,” it may appear that the Chinese navy in the Pacific waters of the The first initiative outside the mission, which is increasingly becoming a responsible interests of the participants and made a welcome step, but in some anxious observers of it, this is to build blue-water fleet, potentially instability (factors) step.

Jane’s report also mentions China’s Jiangnan Shipyard, the new facilities that are to begin construction of the Chinese Navy’s aircraft carrier and the preparatory work was done apparently, even though this project has not yet been officially confirmed; also reported that China’s national Navy continues to negotiate with Russia about purchasing a batch of Su -33 fighter aircraft equipped with. According to the news from Moscow, China is still considering a (purchase) an advanced Russian-made Su -35 fighter aircraft, while the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s senior commanders, said China’s own fifth generation fighter will join the military service in 8-10 years.

The report then referred to China’s military spending. Jane’s said that, regardless of what was intended by Beijing, China’s defense spending continue to be the same significant rate, the defense budget in 2009 increased by 14.9%, reaching 70.4 billion U.S. dollars, although U.S. analysts believe that the real value than this a figure higher.

The stability of the Taiwan Strait for many years and is very similar to China Taiwan region by the KMT in power, an increase of cross-strait relations and mutual trust. Jane’s also mentioned that China is purchasing four Ukrainian system Zubr-class heavy-duty air-cushion landing ship, hovercraft capable of this type for a possible war across the Taiwan Strait, Taipei, mainland China’s military development is a reminder of the major concerns which still contain the Taiwan Strait.

The Bush administration late in 2008, the last action is to freeze arms sales to Taiwan, thus, worth 6.4 billion extension of the arms sales, in 2009, the United States, one of the new government’s first move is to reiterate the United States “and the Taiwan Relations Act “in the” obligations. ” With the enhancement of Sino-US relations, the U.S. government in the attitude of the Chinese point of view increasingly sensitive, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton find it necessary to reaffirm the United States in February will continue to support “Taiwan’s defense.” Soon after, the U.S. Navy confirmed that 2013 will be transferred to Taiwan 12 refurbished Lockheed – Martin companies produce go P-3C Orion anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

Jane’s report also mentioned that the Taiwan authorities in March announced the Quadrennial Defense Review, QDR, said it still hoped to obtain 66 F-16C / D fighter aircraft, but also eager to get F-22 fighter aircraft (currently the United States banned the export of this type of aircraft) , F-35 “Lightning II” or European “Typhoon” fighters, and would like to obtain diesel-powered submarines.

New type of aircraft and submarines, the hope to obtain a smaller, but sold to Taiwan companies produce go Sikorsky UH-60M “Black Hawk” multi-functional helicopter, Boeing’s AH-64 “Apache” attack helicopters and PAC-3 “Patriotic by “air defense missile systems are more optimistic about the prospects. Taiwan is also expressed in May to obtain Lockheed – Martin Corporation produced C-27J transport aircraft will. Under the “Quadrennial Defense Review,” Taiwan will also be downsizing the armed forces in 2015 to maintain the size of 210.5 thousand.

Vietnam’s new main battle tank unveiled, Chinese experts have a detailed reading

Dec 16

Posted by admin in Vietnam | No Comments

Vietnam's new main battle tankRecently, the Vietnamese media reports the latest development of the country’s home-made main battle tanks, and added that the tanks equipped with an advanced 125 mm artillery guns and missiles, F-hunting systems and modular armor, can be and the world’s most advanced main battle tank is comparable . Performance of the new main battle tank in the end how the military special Xinhua commentator east on the existing image data of a preliminary analysis.

Photo preliminary analysis

Although Vietnam’s state-run television had reported the new tank, but China has not found video reports, be able to find only a few online video is not clear screenshots and photographs.

These photos and video shots roughly into three categories.

The first category is the description of the new tank driving and shooting, and all the video shots, clarity is not high, only dimly see the broad outline of tanks. But I can see tanks in preparation for shooting, the crawler does not smoke and dirt behind, clearly tanks are firing at the stationary state.

Fire from a tank to see an instant screenshot of the video, even though there have been some behind the tank track dust, it seems that tanks are shooting in motion, but then red flag flying from the front of the vehicle to determine the direction of the tanks should be shooting in the wind. Then the track after the dust is also possible that the dust stirred up the muzzle blast wave.

The second category is the description of the Vietnamese high-ranking officers visited the new tank photos from these photographs we can see that with the exhaust devices and thermal jacket of the tank gun barrel. Thermal jacket fixed manner with our 79 tanks is somewhat similar to the thermal jacket, extraction device does not seem like a Soviet-style 125 mm tank gun barrel as concentric set, but rather tend to the top of the barrel this point and 105 mm tank gun compare like with like.

The third category is the heavy vehicle factory in Vietnam, state-run shot in the workshop, ranging from tanks, front right, front, left front, left rear and the turret on the panoramic shot of the close-up sight, all with a new type of turret No. 153 tank.

Chassis similar to the T-55

From this tank the left rear view photographs, and tanks of the load wheel, driving wheel, induced wheel and the engine exhaust port and T55 are identical, even the interval between the load wheel are the same, but an increase of side skirts , blocked the track. T55 tank at the top of the toolbox on the left wing panels have also been blocked, looking like a plastic surgery done.

Photographs taken from a tank in front of view, the first armored tank cars, tracks, fender, headlights, driver’s window, anti-surfers, periscope, etc., are the same with the T55, the first under the armor is also fitted for fixed mine with the large bolt. However, the depth of the hole heading machine gun fired a number of deeply than T55, should be based on the original armor added new armor plates. And the right side of turret periscope is coated with “TM-3″ the words of the armor pieces, their edges under the top to the periscope, the distance a lot bigger than T55.

The first armored vehicles by increasing the thickness or install a new armor pieces, and increased side skirts, the Vietnamese new tank chassis part of the protective capacity than T55 increased. It is not aware of the new tank’s engine, transmission parts, how to manipulate some of the changes has been compared to T55, from the current view of the action section of photographs of little change, so the new tank’s mobility has not improved compared with T55, In what ways has improved, increasing the number, but also very difficult to judge.

Protection and gun turret

Looking at the photo, the turret on the right and left sides are equipped with a greater thickness of the wedge-shaped armor, from shooting photos of periscope optical sight can be seen, these wedge-shaped armor is to use bolt fixed. In the rear turret increased by protective fencing, Pojia Dan is beneficial for improving the protection, and can also be used for all kinds of items, such as machine bullet boxes, tools, accessories, spare parts.

Artillery on both sides of Defensive Shield, retained the T55 tank sight holes and tied for machine guns firing hole, do not see what more effective means of protection. It appears that turret and the body have taken protective armor in the T55 on the basis of the original increase in additional armor a way to be strengthened. As for the additional armor structure, materials and armor-piercing bombs Pojia Dan protection capabilities, the current limited information alone is not a good estimate.

Currently used by countries 125 mm tank gun, with the Soviet Union, T64, T72, T80, T90 and other tanks on the 125 mm tank gun used in connection with more or less, or at least very similar appearance, are concentric-style pumping device . In Zheliang new tanks, the Vietnamese government claimed that also is equipped with an advanced 125 mm tank gun, but used widely used around the world with 105 mm tank gun of similar eccentric installation of exhaust devices.

As we all know, able to independently produce high-pressure tank gun bore only a handful of countries, Vietnam, despite its weapons production plant, repair shop more than 100, but the army a long time to produce only light weapons and ammunition, does not produce heavy weapons capabilities, to be independent production of high-tank gun chamber pressure is even harder, I am afraid only purchased a road by now.

There have been reports that Vietnam a few years ago from Poland to buy dozens of vehicles T72. This tank gun whether it is from Poland to buy, why you want to modify the exhaust device installation, which are unable to find the answer. The artillery of this precision-made guided missile weapons, of course, only imported from foreign countries.

Fire Control System Analysis

In the turret at the top of the rear there is a rod-shaped object, at the top of enlargement is estimated to be cross-wind sensors. In the top of the original T55 tank turret gunner periscope installation location, installation of a new periscope optical sight, it should be used to gunners, but the eyepiece cover covered with armor, so do not see the number of optical channels and shape. In the periscope optical sight can be seen behind the tower is installed on the periscope, location higher, and T55 drivers installed on a similar command periscope.

As the turret left front sight Department has also opened a hole, and the T55 tesha mirror similar to the original target lens should still be retained, or on the basis of the original structure to be modified. In this way, the new tank fire control system and observation devices should be included in a gunner’s tesha mirror, periscope optical sight, and bus captains of command viewers. So, gunner’s tesha mirror and periscope-type sight between what might be a relationship? In my view, is no more than three possibilities.

The first, periscope optical sight is the fire control system, the main sight, while the tesha mirror is assisted sight; the second, to install the mirror in the original tesha targeting fire control system, the main mirror is a sight, periscope optical sight is just night vision; third, to install the mirror in the original tesha targeting fire control system for the primary mirror is a sight, periscope optical sight is the artillery missile guidance instrument.

In fact, in order to achieve the Vietnamese official said the basic functions of the system F-hunting is not difficult, T55 car long after finding the target, you can also use the target indicators, beyond a turret gunner turned around to the target, then aim and shoot from a gunner. But this habit of talking about hunting on the F-type fire control system is not the same as.

Commonly referred to as F-type hunting, fire control system is dual-command ceremony, fire control system, not only gunner’s sight is an independent and stable, the bus captains should also have an independent and stable, as the sight of weeks, so drivers and gunners in order to have a considerable The road between the observation capability, but also in targeting the condition does not affect the gunner, the independent observation of the implementation of 360 degree-viewing. Not visible in photographs of the existing car long weeks as crosshairs. Gunner’s periscope optical sight exposed parts of smaller sizes, whether it be able to achieve an independent and stable, is still a problem.

At present, the independent and stable sight in accordance with the stability of the different ways can be divided into stable and on the anti-anti-stability, and control a certain type of Chinese-made tanks, anti-stability target for the next mirror, the exposed parts of the lens than the new tank’s periscope of this Vietnamese-style Great sight. Taking into account Vietnam’s industrial base, could target such a small size mirror mirror the body to achieve line of sight of the independent and stable, it seems difficult to achieve.

Therefore, I believe that Vietnam officially declared hunting F-system, should T55 car length indicator with the target instructions to the gunners with similar objectives, rather than the commonly referred to as a bus captain with an independent and stable weeks depending on the command of sight fire ceremony system, while the gunner’s periscope optical sight is not very likely stabilization sight, but artillery missile guidance and control instrument, or night vision.

In addition, the first on the right side just before the headlights armor, there is no T55 infrared headlights, does not mean that the new tank driver with active-infrared night vision, night vision and use it? This possibility exists, but night vision is little high-tech products in the international market is also readily available.

To sum up, this new tank in Vietnam is in fact an improvement based on the T55 tank made of mobility, there will be no great improvement, and even may be due to use of additional armored vehicles, all leading to a significant increase in weight, which leads to unit power of decreased, so that motor performance. Turret and the body has a positive protective capacity should be largely improved. Artillery caliber and power should also be the T55 100-mm rifled gun, can not be compared. Fire control system is just the composition, working methods, like improvements in the T55 made on the basis of a simple fire control system, artillery missile guidance system is relatively independent.

However, taking into account Vietnam’s mechanical, electronic, optical and other industrial base and development and design ability of the performance of their real ability to meet the Vietnamese government declared a “world-class level”, I am afraid but also draw a big question mark.

Outdoor snow flying, indoor warm as in spring. Lei Xu company instructor took us to the boiler room, he told reporters, solar water heating system uses a low freezing point of antifreeze as a heat transfer medium, through the flat-plate collector solar collector and the assisted circulation, and with the heat in the indoor After the second heat exchanger tank, through the light control and temperature control to achieve automatic control, not only overcome the big temperature difference between high frequency of sandstorm weather conditions on the natural solar radiator damage, but also to extend the device in strong ultraviolet radiation, low temperature, rain and snow disasters, life under the conditions of strong convection. In the condition without auxiliary heat source can be achieved in spring, summer, autumn and three quarters do not have the boiler heating bath, a company annual savings of more than 20 tons of coal. In winter, the plateau burning coke boiler auxiliary heating, such a result, the company officers and men throughout the year on a hot shower washing every day.
