India will not join the “thousand-ship plan” led by U.S.

thousand ship program India will not join the thousand ship plan led by U.S.

Abstract: What is the “thousand-ship program”? This program is proposed by Mullen in November 2006, who is U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The basic concept is make the multiple countries Navy cooperate together as partner, and share the information on ocean, central control the maritime activities, in order to jointly cope with global crisis or conflict on ocean.

Recently, one statement of the Indian Defense Ministry, the Defense Minister Antonio against India joining any multilateral organizations, including America’s “thousand-ship plan”, he said, unless such organization is established or madated by United Nations. India will be take part in regional maritime cooperation in terms of counter-terrorism and anti-piracy, but did not join any large-scale programs of multilateral organizations.

But for U.S., as the opinion of the Joint Admiral Mullen, he proposed such a program because every country can friendly cooperate with other countries in the Navy, and they can deal with a variety of maritime threats together.

But for some countries, they would consider the “thousand-ship program” is one method of U.S. to set up a joint navy force, so you can know why India refuse such a proposal.

Anthony said, after neighboring Pakistan happened the terrorist attacks in naval base recently, the region arround Indian Ocean began to face more challenge, and with the unstable political situation of surrounding, India should prepare ready for battle all the time. But for the offshore safety, Anthony said India has made great progress with the neighboring countries in eliminating differences, but they still much works to do, and the multi-agency should cooperate together for more, not only in the maritime navy, but also in the defense communication.

India are researching the unmanned attack aircraft

201104121031152525e India are researching the unmanned attack aircraft

The Imaginative of the India’s unmanned stealth fighter

For all the countires, the unmanned armys or the flighters will be the focus in the future, so it’s ordinary that many countries pay much attention on the forces research. In April 11, we heard from the India videos, the India defense development center are researching a grand projects, which called the local stealth unmanned combat aircraft (UCAV). It’s said this “smart” UCAV can throw missiles or bombs to target enemy accurately.

This is the first time that the India Defense Research and Development Organization talked about this “mysterious” UAV R & D projects, and they expressed the project will develop the unmanned aircraft mentioned before in the 7-8 years for Indian Air Force.

The improving India unmanned aircraft’s altitude will be able to reach 30,000 feet (9144 meters), total weight is less than 15 tons, with missiles and bomb launchers, and it can carry precision-guided weapons.”

After U.S. set up the equipment like “Hellfire” missiles such as the “Predator” and “Death” unmanned combat aircraft in Afghanistan, they got success finally, so all the world have known the power of it. Said by the defense prime minister of India, they will equip with two wings in the fighter, which will help it to avoid the rador sensor form enemy.

The India’s Defense Research and Development Organization, said throuht the consultation and cooperation from foreign countries in stealth technology and takeoff and landing in short distance, they are faithful in developing the unmanned fighter by themself, and they believe the unmanned aircraft they have produced is more advanced than other countries.

Russian support China at the expense of Japan

Medvedev and Putin 300x198 Russian support China at the expense of JapanIn late September, the leaders of Russia and China met in Beijing. At the same time, China protests Japan’s detention of a fishing vessel in the event is developing. No clear evidence that these two things are related, but these two things has the same meaning clues to suggest that these two things are not unrelated to the fork.

To clarify the historical issues of the joint declaration was signed, which makes the ownership of four northern Russia to be strengthened, and the Chinese people are concerned about the Diaoyu Islands. Despite years of negotiations, Russia and Japan in resolving the lack of progress on the four northern islands, while the Sino-Russian joint statement indicates that this problem can not see the possibility.

Russia, Japan and China are willing to sacrifice a supporter, there is no doubt that Beijing was pleasantly surprised.

China and other Asian countries, one can tell, the Chinese people that Japan’s occupation of the Diaoyu Islands is illegal, and seizure of fishing vessels is caused by the illegal occupation of the illegal acts. Marine patrol near the Chinese sent more and more prominent of these islands, the Chinese people support their government.

Russia, backed by China to other countries is indeed disturbing. For China, a time to relax, especially when follow-up to political events in Japan began to burst, and the problem of the release of Zhanqi Xiong Kan in trouble when the Prime Minister.

India will certainly be because Russia and China in the event of very close approach and feel uncomfortable. But for India, which also is an opportunity to emphasize to its border dispute with China in a vulnerable position. India has been hoped that more attention to China in the Indian Ocean countries on the implementation of the “string of pearls” strategy. September, India to a larger scale to find an excuse to strengthen India’s defense capabilities. Although the new regional defense program not be published, but for Japan and India, the introduction of the conditions of this program has become more mature.

Although the United States reconnaissance satellites to China more and more in-depth and enhanced, but India can now Japan’s space reconnaissance advantages for their own use.

India decided last month to re-equip the Su-30MKI can carry nuclear bombs fighters, move only one step away from the Sino-Indian border as a base away. This indicates that with China to strengthen its military and increase its military activities in the border, India and Japan have felt increasing pressure.

In other words, from India’s north-eastern border to the southeast of Japan’s maritime borders, China’s behavior and attitude is the same. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh later this month visit to Japan, it is likely to be discussed to get on the table, but for some consideration, they want to discuss this issue quietly.

India and Russia have maintained a good relationship of long-term military assistance, it must re-examine the bilateral relations between the two countries. Beijing Sino-Russian talks on the excellent arrangements will remind India, Russia has its own priorities, has its own responsibility, will not give up any of the options.

Indian media said that India will always be dangerous to live in the shadow of China

Sino Indian border Indian soldiers 300x199 Indian media said that India will always be dangerous to live in the shadow of ChinaIndian public opinion has hot Sino-Indian relations, which stress factors speculation. The following are excerpts related to the contents of report:

Indian media: India to deal with China that the “core interests”

Analysis of the Indian Institute of Defense Web site on September 3 article in question: China’s high-risk bets, India (Author: Su Yite – Dutta)

Be regarded as potential rivals for the country, the Chinese like to let the other party shall not be quiet. It is a way to deal with India in recent years to clearly reflect this. In general, this can be described as Sino-Indian relations since the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 the theme. Beijing Declaration through this volatility: the world is not peaceful, that India is not the restoration of peace dismissed.

Northern Command B · S · panchashwar for visa indicates that China will continue to find new excuses can be made of India have been locked in conflict further complicated. At the same time, the PLA is in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir to strengthen road and railway construction, it seems that the Chinese did not think this is disputed areas.

New Delhi’s policy-makers clearly all. They have been downplayed over the past decade these issues in order to deepen the exchanges through the impact of the attitude of China’s most senior leaders, so that the rigid relations began to pick up. Unfortunately, it backfired.

If the liberal politicians think that, given the increasingly close trade relations between the two countries, trade volume reached 60 billion U.S. dollars – mainly exports to China, but also because of China’s construction, electricity and telecommunications companies have 25 billion U.S. dollars with India -300 100 million U.S. dollars in commercial contracts, China’s stance on key issues may be a slight relaxation, then they will be disappointed.

In the territorial dispute, China’s attitude is not the slightest concession. Dealing with international trade and environmental issues that officials have to pay if found on both sides form a “united front” of the foundation, I believe this will benefit the bilateral relationship, then they will be disappointed.

Many of China’s desire: it wants India to return “Arunachal Pradesh” (that I hid the South East – newspaper Note) – at least the Tawang and other areas; it wants India to Dalai Lama sent Back to Beijing, good for the Tibetans to suppress his freedom and the struggle of Tibet’s autonomy;

It would like to continue to occupy by force the occupation of Ladakh region of its; it wants to remain neutral in Nepal; it does not want close ties between India and the United States; it hopes to further open the Indian market, domestic enterprises; and so on.

It concludes that India has not done enough, and dissatisfaction, it will continue to put pressure on China:

It is opposed to India becoming a permanent member of UN Security Council to oppose the World Bank and International Monetary Fund as “Arunachal Pradesh” to provide loans for development projects,

It is hoped that India out of the East Asia process, which Pakistan denies India’s legitimate sovereignty over Kashmir, which the military stationed in Tibet, steadily building it through the pressure of maintaining strategic alliance with Pakistan.

India has two unilateral concessions to the Chinese. It first acknowledge that Taiwan is part of China, and then again did not seek concessions of its own territorial integrity of the case You Li accepted the Tibet part of China.

As the Chinese do not view them as concessions to India’s diplomatic stance that has not been any diplomatic rewards. India failed to give the Chinese recognition of India’s territorial order, recognition of Jammu and Kashmir and the northeastern border SAR (“Arunachal Pradesh”) owned all of India.

Although India has repeatedly reiterated that Tibet is part of China but did not receive any reciprocity from the Chinese, it does not help build confidence.

Nan of this, India must adjust the current strategy. As the importance of Sino-Indian relations, contacts and balance remains on the bilateral and regional stability. India also needs to show that its “core interests.” The need for more extensive measures to ensure that the dispute between the parties with a series of complex held extensive dialogue, eventually come to a solution.

India must insist on all diplomatic issues are the principle of reciprocity. Unilateral concession is of no use. In addition, India needs to improve relations with Taiwan-level, ministerial delegations invited to come for trade and investment negotiations.

India should be related to Southeast Asian countries – such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore – as well as Japan and the United States met to discuss parts of China in Asia’s arbitrary behavior, will help.

These countries are in a stable and harmonious China say one thing and worried about the issue.

Finally, in Beijing for “Arunachal Pradesh” and the Jammu and Kashmir as Indian territory, the Indian should stop claiming the Tibet Autonomous Region is part of China.

India-China relations to improve, maintain long-term stability is very important for India and Asia. But China also must have the same understanding.

India News: India, “the possibility of increasing the Cold War”

“Hindustan Times” website reported on September 5 issue: the question of Chinese privately India

Explore the views of India from China are usually bound to come from outside of China.

The Lu a document on the relations between India and China, the latest papers Hawaii Research Center on Asian security expert from India and China. View on how China, India, some of his views as follows:

China regards India as an irreconcilable social – religious divisions of land, with inherent instability and weak government leadership, can easily be contained by an agent, such view exacerbated tensions between the two countries .

Beijing to India’s rise as an economic and military power as the continued U.S. hegemony in Asia, hindered the end of U.S. hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region after the establishment of China-centric regional order.

China’s dominance in Asia, the long-term development depends on weak countries dependent on China. The goal has always been that confrontation between India and China.

China hopes India may pose any potential future threat nipped in the bud. 60 years since the last century, the Chinese people always pursue the “containment of India” strategy.

Before 2005, China’s official media on the “1962 war issues to be addressed” all the words never mentioned the issue of Arunachal Pradesh.

The Chinese government or PLA’s official media has never been declared “the peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1950, is a part and not the complete” liberation, has not declared that “some areas are yet to liberate Tibet.”

Revert to old problems and create new disputes, so that the other party at a disadvantage, negotiations to increase their weight, which is known as China’s political trickery bargaining tactics. Discusses the work of China put forward the strategy: China economically and militarily more powerful, so it is also growing in India’s aggressive attitude.

People’s Liberation Army of China on the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan and India’s policy has always played an important role.

Now, we see that the PLA in Beijing, the South China Sea and Southeast Asia policy has played a similar role in self-confidence.

For the media subsidiary of People’s Liberation Army may begin attacking the hegemonic vision of India, some publications also suggest the benefits of confrontation.

Beijing believes that China’s development and gradually form a sea of hostile anti-China forces of Union (the United States, Japan, Vietnam, Australia, India), India’s strength of the weakest. Some hard-line Chinese military planners believe that: the next 20 years, in order to kill an Indian killed arrogance, a military showdown between the two countries.

Therefore, India, the “dangerous to live in the shadow of China’s ten years” began in 2011.

In Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, and Tibet to build new railway infrastructure projects, China’s goal is: if two rivals or the Indian subcontinent outbreak of war between China and India, these projects can support the Chinese and Indian military intervention action .

The real irony is that China and India may once again plunged into war in the future the only incentive is precisely half a century ago led to their border war broke out in 1962, the same reason. From Afghanistan to Burma, the Himalayas geopolitical crisis is taking shape.

India-China relations will continue to be competitive, intense, sometimes for endless negotiations and issues of mutual concern to the limited collaboration features.

The two sides will defeat the other party to take strategic measures to make it difficult to obtain advantages or expanding sphere of influence. Chinese analysts Dai Bing (voice) said: “Although the battle can not happen, but the possibility of the Cold War broke out between the two countries is growing.”

During the year, India will launch its first dedicated military satellite catch up with China

Times of India 20, said space has lagged behind in the march and unresponsive in China, India, has decided to launch its first military satellites in the year. There are approximately 300 pieces of military or dual-use satellites dedicated to run in space, including the United States account for 50%, followed by Russia and China.

Reported, India’s first military satellite to be sent into space within a year. Indian Space Research Organisation has been established to monitor the Navy communications satellite “launch date” in December 2010 to March 2011. However, in mid-April this year, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-D3) – GSLV-D3 by the local research and development of cryogenic engines to power – after a failed launch, India’s defense sector organizations, some worry about the Indian space launch may not adhere to the expected duration of .

An Indian Defense Ministry officials said 19: “Indian Space Research Organization has promised us that the Navy will be scheduled satellite launch, the satellite can cover the Indian Ocean about 1,000 nautical miles of waters within the … … to spend 9.5 billion rupees of the project. Indian Air Force and the Army satellite will be launched within the next few years. ”

At the same time, the Indian Navy chief of staff under the leadership of Bougainville immediately, is participating in the meeting of the Indian Navy Commander Navy senior officials are discussing, “Navy network-centric warfare” and “territorial sense.” Both capacities are determined by special satellites.

With the 2013-2017 range between 8 maritime patrol aircraft (United States and India on the latter to provide eight long-range maritime patrol aircraft, signed contracts worth 2.1 billion U.S. dollars) in place, the Indian geostationary satellite will ensure that the Navy’s C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) capabilities have greatly improved.

While India from the Persian Gulf to the Malacca Strait as its main strategic interests between the regions, but in the constantly changing marine environment, the Indian Navy has not yet been available to provide “all the participants a clear picture” of the “special sensors.” High-speed data lines, dedicated satellite can be warships, submarines, aircraft and shore operations center connected into a network. Some officials said: “In this way, the sea was always able to detect threats and to share, to ensure rapid response.

Indian armed forces had been using “dual-use” satellite, which is particularly worth mentioning is that mapping satellite 1, satellite mapping and mapping satellite 2 2A, and so on, but now it will be able to use their own dedicated satellite has.

This is consistent with the “space defense ideas -2020 (Defence Space Vision-2020)”, in 2012 until the end of the first stage, which envisages intelligence, surveillance, supervision, communication and navigation as key areas. However, the report noted that India did not need too much emphasis on the armed forces to maintain “real time” monitoring enemy action, ships, air bases, missile warehouse.

Reported that there are about 300 pieces of military or dual-use satellites dedicated to run in space. The United States has topped number one, accounting for 50%, followed by Russia and China. India, however, slower, and even in military space, even China has made great progress. Government of India has been reluctant to establish a comprehensive aerospace command, even though its armed forces have asked for years.

Once the military satellite launch, India will be the sole owner of the Asian region dedicated military satellite. Military satellites, different from the single function of the military spy satellites (according to the information currently in orbit, Indian military spy satellites, at least six), it is a navigation, communication, command, information processing, intelligence gathering and reconnaissance, surveillance, enemy Fang missiles and other functions into one specific satellite, and ground, sea or air command center, operational resources of information exchange network, to quickly lock the enemy movements, quick military mobilization and deployment, fast into action. These dedicated military satellite service will no doubt significantly improve the overall strength of the Indian Army.
