Type 10 main battle tanks in Japan 300x200 Type 10 main battle tanks in Japan as the worlds lightest new main battle tankJuly 11, Japan 10-type main battle tanks (TK-X has been named the tank) in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force conducted a mobility Fuji school show. The main battle tank is a new generation of Japan’s GSDF armored combat platforms, this program small batch equipment 10. Japan Chaoyun news agency Web site (Japan Defense Agency and the SDF, a “asakumo” newspaper Web site) also has 10 tanks in the performance of some detailed interpretation that the smaller, lighter, and yet sophisticated.

Performance art and light tanks

10 tanks controlled by the members of the Group 3 luxury cars, body length 9.42 m, 2.3 m high, wide and 3.24 m, weight 44 tons, more than 90 tanks predecessors smaller, lighter. In the fire, the tank’s turret 10 is equipped with a 120-mm smoothbore gun, a M2HB type machine gun and one 12.7 mm 74 7.62 mm light machine guns. Turret is also equipped with “drivers with independent and observation tower”, this equipment can be directly captured enemy targets, and the screen showed the turret, the gunner need only one click Control Panel, you can hit the target. In addition, the tank also has the C4I (command, control, communications, computer and information integration) capabilities can be integrated into the command of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Network, with other tanks and other battlefield intelligence units to share.

Chaoyun News Agency published on the website photos show that 10 tank turret and the body shape better use of bullet-proof armor inclination, which is square-shaped turret 90 tanks in sharp contrast. According to Western media, the 10 tanks are also all over the high-tech armor, modular ceramic composite armor, “Nano – Crystal” plates and 10 light armored tank top was not only lightweight and sturdy enough to wear a “bullet-proof jacket.” Shows that, after decades of foreign advanced design of the reference and trial and error, the Japanese finally create a good performance out of a light car.

Can meet the “extraordinary threat”

Japan’s Ground Self-Defense had studied under the U.S. military, armored forces in building too. During the Cold War, the Japanese Defense Force is the main armored forces deployed in the northern region in preparation for the former Soviet Union, once a large-scale landing armored units, as a desperate last-ditch counterattack force.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, from the north, the pressure drop, but the Japanese former Soviet T-62, T-72 tanks and 90 research and development for the imaginary enemy has begun mass production of tanks and troops. Weight 50 tons of 90 tanks is not only expensive but also very limited upgrade potential, from the production has almost not been a big improvement. It is in this case, Japan was determined to develop a new tank, as the Defense Force, “fist equipment.”

In the 21st century, the Japanese began sending troops overseas to enhance the international influence, in order to achieve its great power aspirations. After the outbreak of the Iraq war, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to the more stable areas in southern Iraq sent a force, which is only equipped with a number of “Komatsu” 4 × 4 wheeled light armored vehicles, this car is equipped with semi-open style turrets and 12.7 mm machine gun, suitable for low-intensity conflict in the patrol.

Although Japan eventually withdrew from Iraq, but the pace of troops overseas but not stop. Once the high risk involved in an unconventional war, there is likely to face roadside bombs and rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons of great power threat, but can not afford to deal with light wheeled vehicles, 90 tanks are too bulky and inconvenient transportation, then I am afraid To turn light weight, fire Meng 10 tanks had been deployed.

Japan 22DDH is a serious threat to China’s submarine

Jul 6

Posted by admin in Asia, China, Japan | No Comments

Japan 22DDH 214x300 Japan 22DDH is a serious threat to Chinas submarineWhy does Japan have repeatedly Qingli large deck type ship built? Does this mean that Japan’s defeat in World War II aircraft carrier again after the recovery of their dreams?

Recently, the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force agreed that the third ship “helicopter destroyers” will be the relative size and capacity have been served “on the” class helicopter carrier, a major improvement. New 22DDH ship more than 24,000 tons displacement, which makes it almost more than 16DDH “day to” level the size of the helicopter carrier is 50%, so difficult to use the “destroyer” to refer to those ships. Taking into account the size of ship, with the United States during World War II, “Essex” class aircraft carrier in comparison. Why is Japan again Qing Li built a large deck type ship? Does this mean that Japan’s defeat in World War II aircraft carrier again after the recovery of their dreams?

Carrier after another big ship

In 22DDH helicopter carrier, Japan had a continuous manufacturing and service the two types of large ships through the deck, which is known for long, “Osumi”-class landing ship and helicopter transport 16DDH “on the” class helicopter destroyer.

In service since 1998 “Dayu” class landing ship helicopter transport links with all the deck starboard island structure, the standard displacement reached 8,900 tons, Captain 178 meters long, and nearly 26 meters wide, can carry 1,000 Marines, 16 CH -47 heavy-duty helicopters, 10 Type 90 main battle tanks and 1,400 tons of material, two large air-cushion landing craft. Although the Japanese to “Dayu” level as the transport landing craft, they have deliberately conceal class aircraft carrier combat. But it was through type flight deck and aft deck structure can be proved beyond the normal landing craft ship capacity, the potential function of an aircraft carrier, is “quasi-carrier.” “Dayu” class landing ship transport aircraft carrier in Japan has really laid the foundation for a number of militarists in Japan that “Dayu” number service, marking the Japanese aircraft carrier of the comeback. “Dayu” class landing ship transport service, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces are not satisfied with such a “quasi carriers,” starts on a new aircraft carrier.

In 2004, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force began building 16DDH “on the” class “helicopter escort.” The first ship “on the” number, in August 2007 and launched service in March 2009. Second ship “Ise” was also launched in August 2009, is expected to serve in 2012. The ship deck using all-pass starboard island structure, the standard displacement of 13,500 tons, can carry up to a total of 11 helicopters of various types, can be parked on the flight deck 4, hangar seven, while allowing four helicopters can take off and land. Although the Japanese call it “helicopter escort,” but ship is fully equipped to be a light aircraft carrier with all the features, according to NATO standards is actually a helicopter carrier.

Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Forces “day to” was launched when the helicopter destroyer had the U.S. media exclaimed: “This is the first one in Japan after World War II aircraft carrier.” Many military experts also believe that “day to” was able to slightly improve the carrier’s new faces join the ranks of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces. But the United States, “Defense News” quoted the Tokyo Institute of peace and security, the President as saying, “The new helicopter destroyer deck is too thin, F-35 can not withstand the pressure of landing.” Helicopter carrier that has a 195 m long straight flight deck, can withstand 33 tons of large-scale helicopter transport MH-53E “Sea Dragon” movements.

For the construction of the new 22DDH Japanese helicopter aircraft carrier, the superstructure and the “day to” class helicopter carrier, similar to the difference is surrounded by 01 deck extension, deck area increased by nearly one-third of the total, can be large enough to accommodate vertical launch air defense missile system. And “day to” class helicopter carrier, the new ship’s point defense capability beyond its double, which is equipped with four MK15 “Phalanx” The gun and two “Ram” short-range defense system launchers, The “day to” level is only equipped with two “Phalanx” The gun.

Japanese financial project that, 22DDH dramatic increase in ship size design one of the reasons is that Japan plans to V-22 “Osprey” tilt-rotor aircraft as a major air forces of these ships. In addition, 22DDH ship’s design also includes consideration of operating unmanned aerial vehicles.

Anti-submarine helicopter carrier lies

Since the post-war Japanese economy recovered from the post, began to wait for an opportunity to seek revival of its aircraft carriers Dream, “Day to the” issue of the construction of aircraft carriers is the first step put the plan into action. More military experts believe that as long as Japan are US-made F-35B Short / vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, immediately will be able to “day to” was converted into a real aircraft carrier. Moreover, as long as the time is ripe, “Japan to” level and “Dayu” level can be in the “converted into an aircraft carrier within two months” to form a new carrier battle group. Military strategy experts pointed out that the future development of the Japanese aircraft carrier program, and the United States is not without relevance. 50′s of last century, the Korean War with the United States of support and opportunity, the Japanese took the opportunity to “revive” its own military forces. However, the U.S. has no intention to build a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force to undertake operational tasks independently powerful sea power, but to as a “small attendant.”

So, the construction of so many big Japanese navy helicopter carrying capacity with a strong surface ships, is for what? The answer is: the implementation of ocean-going anti-submarine mission. Soviet hegemony in the Cold War era Soviet submarine fleet in order to prevent conflict into the Pacific, the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force in the United States, Japan anti-Soviet Union, to carry the heavy anti-submarine pioneers. After the Cold War, the Russian Pacific Fleet, shrinking, growing Japanese patrol area will be expanded to the South China Sea, the strategic task to contain China’s submarine into the ocean. Japanese shore-based anti-submarine combat radius is limited, so the helicopter carrier have come into being, “Dayu” class helicopter carrying a total of four, 16DDH can carry 11 helicopters, 22DDH will carry at least 14 helicopters, mainly SH-60K “Hawk” anti-submarine helicopters, as the fleet’s flagship ocean anti-submarine warfare, to join the existing fleet of “19″ fleet, may be anti-submarine combat capability to double to cover the area have increased several times.

Japanese prefer to give these helicopters contains a selection of the V-22 “Osprey” tilt-rotor aircraft, a model for the SV-22 anti-submarine model, the model is the U.S. Navy plans to replace the S-3 “pirate” ship-borne anti-submarine aircraft general aircraft type. Reached its maximum combat radius of 1205 km. SV-22 will be equipped with hanging sonar, magnetic anomaly detectors, sonar buoys and Mk-50 anti-submarine torpedoes. As the V-22 “Osprey” aircraft superior short-range vertical takeoff and landing performance, so that it can carry anti-submarine equipment, more and more comprehensive, and therefore a greater range of anti-submarine capabilities and patrolling. As the world’s second-largest anti-submarine power of Japan, this would have more than 100 fixed-wing aircraft of advanced anti-submarine patrol aircraft, plus “19″ Fleet-class anti-submarine capabilities, and then join the group if the helicopter carrier’s carrier aircraft, That is really an even more powerful of Japan’s maritime anti-submarine warfare.

Break the bottom line deterrence neighbors

The construction of aircraft carriers in Japan as the biggest obstacle to peace in the Constitution from the domestic constraints, followed by the United States can not allow Japan to build a large attack aircraft carriers, is another who has suffered from Japanese aggression in Asia over the country will not allow Japan to build a real aircraft carrier. But also see the world, though Japan’s pacifist constitution limits have realized they still sending troops overseas, Self-Defense Force ships are openly patrolling in the Gulf of Aden and began to build Zhubo base, also to upgrade the Defense Agency Ministry of Defense and so on. Driven by this trend, if one day, tear up the constitution of Japan, a large-scale production of attack aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and intercontinental ballistic missiles, is also very possible. Particularly in the current U.S. military rising because of China, worried about the destruction of their Western Pacific strategic balance of Hua, the Keneng to open one eye close one eye to the default strategy of self-Fa Zhan Japanese aircraft carrier force, in particular for the parent type is 22DDH improve the most likely to attack aircraft carriers. This occurs when the sovereignty dispute between China and Japan, the Chinese navy’s submarine force as a large number of in wartime combat forces out of the first island chain, Japan’s powerful anti-submarine force will face checks and balances. Japanese construction 16DDH and 22DDH helicopter carrier on the Chinese Navy submarine force will be the threat of death.

Whether the construction of these vessels in Japan What is the purpose, but you can believe that neighboring countries will not stand idly by: Japan to improve the anti-submarine capabilities and remote combat capabilities, countries would have hidden under the capital increase and the submarine offensive, South Korea and other countries GM will build a more active type deck landing ship and related marine ships, South Korea’s “Dokdo” was obvious examples.

The Japanese both cunning and clever, while in calling for the “aircraft carrier China threat” theory, it already started building his own hands while the aircraft carrier battle groups, and possession of a large head and hide my face to call the helicopter destroyer. At this point, even the United States, Russia have been the calculation of the Japanese “sneak” to deceived. Japan defeated the old, will be inadvertently carrier power, and become a threat to neighboring Asian countries, a strong naval force.

Japanese media reported that Japan’s new ship’s deck using high temperature material – Be able to takeoff and land F-35

Nov 29

Posted by admin in Japan | No Comments

Japan 183 20000-ton helicopter destroyerAccording to Youth Online “Youth Reference” reported that Japan’s “Asahi Shimbun,” 23, said Defense Ministry prepared to specifications comparable to the construction of light aircraft carrier of the DDH, to “deal with China’s growing naval power.” Against the outside world to the new DDH as a quasi carriers, defense ministry officials said the ship is not taking off and landing of fixed-wing aircraft the ability to use is the anti-submarine warfare and the protection of communication lines, is also not intended to make the introduction of fixed-wing aircraft, because it is not a ship “offensive aircraft carrier.”

Capable of carrying 14 helicopters

“Asahi Shimbun,” the article said it plans to build a DDH displacement was 1.95 million tons, fitted out in March of last year’s “Day to the” No. DDH displacement of 1.35 million tons, is the Maritime Self Defense Force’s largest active-duty warship, but the new DDH, once completed , will take away the title. According to the British “The Telegraph” analysis said the Ministry of Defense plans to buy about 40 US-made F-35 fighter, the aircraft is seen as the future of Japan to build a real aircraft carrier-based aircraft, when appropriate.

Japan’s new DDH long 248 meters wide and 38 meters, the standard equipped with 14 helicopters. As a comparison, the United Kingdom’s “Invincible” was a light aircraft carrier length 206 meters, width of 28 meters, the loaded planes 22. In addition, in order to meet the five helicopters landing at the same time, the new DDH of the bridge will be moved to the starboard side, so that the flight deck to achieve full channel, this layout with exactly the same carrier. This raised a question: whether Japan’s “peace constitution” conflict? In 1988 the Japanese government said in a statement, “As an offensive war potential of the carrier beyond the minimum level of self-defense needs, which the Constitution bans Japan from having such a ship.” Right, “Asahi Shimbun” reporter to mention this issue, the Ministry of Defense found it ridiculous, said the new DDH is a “necessity defense.” A defense ministry official said: “We need to use helicopters as far as possible away from the enemy’s missiles with a range of areas, to find and pay close attention to the submarine. Therefore, the construction of a helicopter can be equipped with multi-DDH is very necessary.” The official said, the new DDH is not a fixed-wing aircraft taking off and landing ability to use is the anti-submarine warfare and the protection of communication lines, is also not intended to make the introduction of fixed-wing aircraft, because it is not an “offensive of the aircraft carrier.”

With the carrier of technical transmission

For a long time, outside Japan, DDH would be treated as “quasi-light aircraft carrier,” because it has a straight-through flight deck and ship-island, with all the characteristics of a light aircraft carrier, as supplemented to build similar to the British “Invincible” aircraft like the 12 degree of slip jump deck, you can take off and land of US-made F-35B fighter. However, the Tokyo Institute of peace and security, Masashi Nishihara, had argued that: “DDH’s flight deck is too thin and unable to withstand the pressure of landing aircraft. For the taking off and landing fighter aircraft, the flight deck of the high temperature capability must be improved, otherwise F -35B fighter aircraft tail pipe heat generated by air will burn deck. In addition, the design was originally parked helicopter hangar lift lifting capacity and layout, are insufficient to meet the requirements to accommodate fixed-wing aircraft. “The implication of this statement yes – DDH only with the carrier a bit quite similar, while in stark contrast to the inherent purpose. Can be seen that Japan’s Asian neighbors to avoid his own DDH said to be an aircraft carrier.

However, Masashi Nishihara argument is questionable. Then built a “day to” No. DDH’s “home” – Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries shipyard site describes the ship “production materials” section, clear the “cycle of cooling pipe with a high temperature, high-intensity large-scale plane plate “content. There is no doubt that this is used to make “day to” was the flight deck material, if used only for the helicopter, you do not have to use such high-grade materials. As to “the flight deck is too thin,” even without Kaopu, Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries shipyard’s own admission, the “to” was the deck of the hardness to withstand more than 30 tons total weight of the MH-53E minesweeping helicopters take off and land, with a total weight is only 20 metric tons of F-35B fighter how can the “inappropriate”? Masashi Nishihara made on the “lift lifting capacity shortage” concerns, the Japanese “world ships” magazine have long said, “Japan to the” deck of the center’s two large numbers, up to 30-ton lift, it may not only for helicopters prepared for this.

The development of aircraft carrier “technology stepping-stone”

The pursuit of perfection on the Japanese national character, any input is a major arms deliberate. Use of terms from the ship, the Japanese service or under construction in the near future of DDH may not be easy to immediately “fade” as the aircraft carrier. Because so far, according to “Japan-US Security Treaty,” the mandate, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, as the U.S. 7th Fleet’s “auxiliary power” somewhat lower intensity of combat the “blocking and protection of pay” strategy to block Tsushima, Tsugaru, Soya Strait, and the three lines to defend the 1,000 nautical miles as its main task, its first anti-submarine warfare and mine-clearing escort Second, blockade the Straits. This determined the future of Japan’s four destroyers, as the flagship team of the DDH location, nor set off in the past, the Japanese anti-submarine destroyer role aircraft, which can carry up to 16 helicopters, so that the whole formation in the implementation of anti-submarine warfare mission, commander of the hands of Fleet there will be more helicopter patrols.

Overall, DDH should be seen as the precursor to development of the Japanese aircraft carrier, rather than “Japan’s first-generation aircraft carrier.” In 2000, the Japanese cabinet approved the “new defense force and reorganization of the medium-term plan”, the on the confirmation of the next generation of DDH “to retain fixed-wing aircraft equipped with the potential, but currently only equipped with anti-submarine helicopters, most important,” Japan’s Defense Ministry also repeatedly said that there is no the introduction of the Maritime Self-Defense Force fighter jet vertical takeoff and landing plans. Analysts believe that the outside world DDH’s “aircraft carrier the definition of” actually tell the hearts of the Japanese Ministry of Defense mantra – DDH does have all the external characteristics of an aircraft carrier, but in the current international situation, it can become a “first in East Asia aircraft carrier “and a” technical stepping stone. ”
