Chinese missile could shift Pacific power balance

Aug 16

DF 15B missiles 300x225 Chinese missile could shift Pacific power balanceABOARD THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON – Nothing projects U.S. global air and sea power more vividly than supercarriers. Bristling with fighter jets that can reach deep into even landlocked trouble zones, America’s virtually invincible carrier fleet has long enforced its dominance of the high seas.

China may soon put an end to that.

U.S. naval planners are scrambling to deal with what analysts say is a game-changing weapon being developed by China — an unprecedented carrier-killing missile called the Dong Feng 21D that could be launched from land with enough accuracy to penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced moving aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers (900 miles).

EDITOR’S NOTE — The USS George Washington supercarrier recently deployed off North Korea in a high-profile show of U.S. sea power. AP Tokyo News Editor Eric Talmadge was aboard the carrier, and filed this report.

Analysts say final testing of the missile could come as soon as the end of this year, though questions remain about how fast China will be able to perfect its accuracy to the level needed to threaten a moving carrier at sea.

The weapon, a version of which was displayed last year in a Chinese military parade, could revolutionize China’s role in the Pacific balance of power, seriously weakening Washington’s ability to intervene in any potential conflict over Taiwan or North Korea. It could also deny U.S. ships safe access to international waters near China’s 11,200-mile (18,000-kilometer) -long coastline.

While a nuclear bomb could theoretically sink a carrier, assuming its user was willing to raise the stakes to atomic levels, the conventionally-armed Dong Feng 21D’s uniqueness is in its ability to hit a powerfully defended moving target with pin-point precision.

The Chinese Defense Ministry did not immediately respond to the AP’s request for a comment.

Funded by annual double-digit increases in the defense budget for almost every year of the past two decades, the Chinese navy has become Asia’s largest and has expanded beyond its traditional mission of retaking Taiwan to push its sphere of influence deeper into the Pacific and protect vital maritime trade routes.

“The Navy has long had to fear carrier-killing capabilities,” said Patrick Cronin, senior director of the Asia-Pacific Security Program at the nonpartisan, Washington-based Center for a New American Security. “The emerging Chinese antiship missile capability, and in particular the DF 21D, represents the first post-Cold War capability that is both potentially capable of stopping our naval power projection and deliberately designed for that purpose.”

Setting the stage for a possible conflict, Beijing has grown increasingly vocal in its demands for the U.S. to stay away from the wide swaths of ocean — covering much of the Yellow, East and South China seas — where it claims exclusivity.

It strongly opposed plans to hold U.S.-South Korean war games in the Yellow Sea off the northeastern Chinese coast, saying the participation of the USS George Washington supercarrier, with its 1,092-foot (333-meter) flight deck and 6,250 personnel, would be a provocation because it put Beijing within striking range of U.S. F-18 warplanes.

The carrier instead took part in maneuvers held farther away in the Sea of Japan.

U.S. officials deny Chinese pressure kept it away, and say they will not be told by Beijing where they can operate.

“We reserve the right to exercise in international waters anywhere in the world,” Rear Adm. Daniel Cloyd, who headed the U.S. side of the exercises, said aboard the carrier during the maneuvers, which ended last week.

But the new missile, if able to evade the defenses of a carrier and of the vessels sailing with it, could undermine that policy.

“China can reach out and hit the U.S. well before the U.S. can get close enough to the mainland to hit back,” said Toshi Yoshihara, an associate professor at the U.S. Naval War College. He said U.S. ships have only twice been that vulnerable — against Japan in World War II and against Soviet bombers in the Cold War.

Carrier-killing missiles “could have an enduring psychological effect on U.S. policymakers,” he e-mailed to The AP. “It underscores more broadly that the U.S. Navy no longer rules the waves as it has since the end of World War II. The stark reality is that sea control cannot be taken for granted anymore.”

Yoshihara said the weapon is causing considerable consternation in Washington, though — with attention focused on land wars in Afghanistan and Iraq — its implications haven’t been widely discussed in public.

Analysts note that while much has been made of China’s efforts to ready a carrier fleet of its own, it would likely take decades to catch U.S. carrier crews’ level of expertise, training and experience.

But Beijing does not need to match the U.S. carrier for carrier. The Dong Feng 21D, smarter, and vastly cheaper, could successfully attack a U.S. carrier, or at least deter it from getting too close.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned of the threat in a speech last September at the Air Force Association Convention.

“When considering the military-modernization programs of countries like China, we should be concerned less with their potential ability to challenge the U.S. symmetrically — fighter to fighter or ship to ship — and more with their ability to disrupt our freedom of movement and narrow our strategic options,” he said.

Gates said China’s investments in cyber and anti-satellite warfare, anti-air and anti-ship weaponry, along with ballistic missiles, “could threaten America’s primary way to project power” through its forward air bases and carrier strike groups.

The Pentagon has been worried for years about China getting an anti-ship ballistic missile. The Pentagon considers such a missile an “anti-access,” weapon, meaning that it could deny others access to certain areas.

The Air Force’s top surveillance and intelligence officer, Lt. Gen. David Deptula, told reporters this week that China’s effort to increase anti-access capability is part of a worrisome trend.

He did not single out the DF 21D, but said: “While we might not fight the Chinese, we may end up in situations where we’ll certainly be opposing the equipment that they build and sell around the world.”

Questions remain over when — and if — China will perfect the technology; hitting a moving carrier is no mean feat, requiring state-of-the-art guidance systems, and some experts believe it will take China a decade or so to field a reliable threat. Others, however, say final tests of the missile could come in the next year or two.

Former Navy commander James Kraska, a professor of international law and sea power at the U.S. Naval War College, recently wrote a controversial article in the magazine Orbis outlining a hypothetical scenario set just five years from now in which a Deng Feng 21D missile with a penetrator warhead sinks the USS George Washington.

That would usher in a “new epoch of international order in which Beijing emerges to displace the United States.”

While China’s Defense Ministry never comments on new weapons before they become operational, the DF 21D — which would travel at 10 times the speed of sound and carry conventional payloads — has been much discussed by military buffs online.

A pseudonymous article posted on Xinhuanet, website of China’s official news agency, imagines the U.S. dispatching the George Washington to aid Taiwan against a Chinese attack.

The Chinese would respond with three salvos of DF 21D, the first of which would pierce the hull, start fires and shut down flight operations, the article says. The second would knock out its engines and be accompanied by air attacks. The third wave, the article says, would “send the George Washington to the bottom of the ocean.”

Comments on the article were mostly positive.

AP writer Christopher Bodeen in Beijing and National Security Writer Anne Gearan in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.

U.S. aircraft carrier on the deterrent effect of the PLA has begun to reverse

Jul 30

Posted by admin in Military Sources, Observers | No Comments

Nimitz aircraft carrier 300x204 U.S. aircraft carrier on the deterrent effect of the PLA has begun to reverseTaiwan’s “China Times” published on the 29th column Liu Ping On American aircraft carrier, “the East” and “West” between the choice of view, this means that the U.S. has been quietly changing the strategic considerations, but from the U.S. South Korea exercises, U.S. aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea can not sniff out clues.

Article excerpts are as follows:

14 years ago, the United States, “Nimitz” aircraft carriers to the East China Sea, resolving the Taiwan Strait crisis; today, the United States, “George. Washington” towards the Yellow Sea aircraft carrier to avoid, lest a crisis. “East” and “West” trade-offs between, means that the U.S. has been quietly changing the strategic considerations.

March 1996, Taiwan’s first “general election” on the eve of the mainland large-scale military exercises in the Taiwan Strait and missile tests. Then U.S. President Bill Clinton ordered the “Nimitz” and “Independence” of two aircraft carrier battle group sailed near the Taiwan Strait, constitute the end of this area since the Vietnam War, the largest military deployment since.

The United States was the first use of two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Taiwan Strait, well to defuse the crisis. However, will the last time the Chinese Communists in this great parade of shock and awe? The answer is very likely. From the US-ROK exercise, the U.S. aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea can not sniff out clues.

Made on the tactical level, from the beginning in 2096, the PLA criteria for the various operations are all the U.S. aircraft carrier as a thorn in the side. The so-called “Super fight” the first goal that is carriers. Statement on the strategic level, the PLA into the deep ocean, R & D satellites combat capability, and aircraft carrier made from time to time the outgoing message, all the hope out of the Taiwan Strait to U.S. aircraft carrier outside.

This trend has made the U.S. heart health awareness. Whether the executive branch or Congress, whether Republican or Democratic Party, from time to time some have questioned whether the need for the United States to defend Taiwan and then to the aircraft carrier. To take but two cases, one, called President Bush a strategic operator instead, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense Peter Rodman (now deceased) in office, if again the Taiwan Strait crisis, whether deployed aircraft carrier, the U.S. president will have different considerations . Second, the current Chairman of the House International Affairs Committee of the Asia-Pacific group that protect Taiwan if the United States dispatched the aircraft carrier, may have to pay a heavy price, not feasible.

Belong to different political parties in Romania, France and two, are not called “Red Army” or “those who embrace the Panda,” instead, he is a staunch supporter of Taiwan. One of the largest two in common is a firm support “Taiwan Relations Act”, but they also invariably the Taiwan Strait issue from a risk perspective, because the “strength of the United States, China also has strength.”

On the aircraft carrier combat capability, China and the United States is the “zero and 12″ ratio. In recent years, the parties have different assessments, suggesting that the latest argument is that the PLA will be built before the Second ○ 一○ six aircraft carriers, the most authoritative statement is the U.S. Pacific commander Admiral Willard said, “the first one aircraft carrier will be put into use in the year after. ”

But even if no aircraft carriers, does not mean that can not effectively deal with aircraft carriers. Like many of the former U.S. Pacific commander to visit Taiwan Blair said, “to deal with submarines, may not be the best way to use a submarine.” One of the PLA’s efforts to keep the direction of accurate cruise missiles and add new ships; the other is to modify the concept and criteria, such as fleet air defense as a priority; The third is to consider the construction or renovation in accordance with the strategic naval base, for example, on Hainan Island port, submarines out have more hidden; The fourth is the development of asymmetrical fighting capabilities, such as electronic network warfare.

All these efforts, just as the U.S. Seventh Fleet Commander Patrizi said recently, the PLA seeks to “have the ability to deal with the U.S. aircraft carrier”, or even one day, “the U.S. military out of the Pacific.” Therefore, the U.S. aircraft carrier in 1996, “said come and” absolute strategic initiatives, today no longer exist.

U.S. aircraft carrier, if open to the Yellow Sea, of course, is still the high seas, but that is to the people of the gate. 2096, the mainland may not speak, but today the situation is completely different, so the U.S. side had “flexibility.”

U.S. Defense Department said the aircraft carrier has been to the Yellow Sea last year, and this time sent out what exercises and equipment, access to which areas of the initiative is still the United States, the aircraft carrier is not into the Yellow Sea, and so on. Words as if “I have money to spend on flowers; I had no money, not spend no flowers,” is to find himself under the stairs.

Statement from Taiwan’s point of view, the PLA war preparations aimed at deterrence, delay, or even block the United States to Taiwan rush to the rescue. The United States has been Taiwan’s largest carrier with mental now seems that the days may have gone up.

Monopoly of military technology

Jul 19

Posted by admin in China, Military Sources, Observers | No Comments

U.S. monopoly made F 35s core technology 300x196 Monopoly of military technologyIf the economic sphere, “Science and technology are primary productive forces”, then in the military field, “Science and Technology is the first combat.” The growth of military power, backed not only economic, but also to master a series of cutting-edge, the core of military technology. The reason why a big country big country owes those who would otherwise remain hidden “power of the device,” while

, Where the interests of maximizing and exclusive, but also led to the sensitive technology has been closely monopoly.

“Monopoly” is derived from Mencius “will seek the monopoly board to look around the net market benefit” phrase. However, military technology, “monopoly”, both economic sense, more strategic considerations. Military technology as the high end of the field of industrial technology, is already one of the few areas of strength in Western countries. Therefore, the maintenance of the developing countries,

Particularly developing country emerging military technology “monopoly”, the Western developed countries have a strategic consensus.

Monopoly is not just to prohibit the “export” or “transfer” the existence of such a simple form, the complexity of weapons systems to determine the monopoly of military technology is extremely complex. Military technology, through the weapons design, system development, production, manufacture of the whole process, but the shadow of a monopoly, but also with the process everywhere.

The highest form of monopoly

Many people may not think in terms of nuclear or conventional weapons, the “design” often means the highest form of monopoly.

Compared to conventional weapons, nuclear weapons (mainly thermonuclear weapons) are designed to the planet’s most mysterious things, is tight-lipped about nuclear power “taboo.” The role of principles to be carried by the miniaturization of warheads, nuclear weapons, internal design form the overwhelming majority of countries, remains a mystery.

Nuclear bomb is not nuclear material into the tin to simple yard. Design a nuclear bomb, requires a State has a solid theoretical nuclear physics research base, also with large-scale computing capabilities. Very expensive nuclear materials, nuclear test launching a campaign to costly, so it can not rely on general military-technical like trial and error. In the positive

Ceremony before the nuclear test, we need as much as possible on paper to design a similar “product” of a nuclear bomb. Meanwhile, the power of nuclear bomb design also needs growing, the volume is getting smaller and smaller. This means that every nuclear test, nuclear weapons design methods are changing.

As the strategic nuclear deterrent, the major nuclear powers monopoly on nuclear weapons design has not eased. Some small and medium power bad state to “possession of nuclear weapons”, I am afraid not with its own power has broken the “monopoly”, but more in line with the political intentions of some big powers. India’s nuclear tests, has publicly expressed its energy system

Level of heat build 200,000 tons of nuclear weapons, but the international community generally skeptical of such claims, they believe that India is the largest trial of an enhanced fission device. After all, not build a nuclear bomb by mouth.

If the design of nuclear weapons around the state monopoly status, then the design of conventional weapons, especially the top-level design, is determining the “monopoly” can bring much profit.

Top-level design is a strategic objective and its time and space on the display of form and design implementations. Over the years, the United States remained the world’s No. 1 arms exports, the outside world often focus on the US-made weapons, the advanced technology in production development, neglect of a Shi Shi Zhe Yang, the United States firmly in the top-level design Shang Di occupy Zhao

“Monopoly” status.

Rehabilitation of military revolution, the U.S. military theoretical innovation has been in the “forefront”, while they frequently provide a realistic operational military requirements drive. Promotion in these two areas, the U.S. weapons to always be in the “innovation” on attracting other countries, but also through the integration of information technology to achieve the maximum exclusion.

For example, the United States of F-35 project, shows the future of the United States Air Force Air Force combat and strategic judgments. The project creatively put forward the “low cost”, “highly lethal” “high-viability” and “high support” of the design concept, and by different variants to meet the needs of different armed services, so as to realize the Western allies

Replacement of all existing fighters. The F-35 project’s other members, but basically there is no top-level strategic project design capabilities, they determine the future air combat battlefield, can only receive from the U.S. point of view.

In essence, the monopoly of the top design is a kind of “prediction” of the monopoly. Forecast the demand for war on weapons, which most countries in the world is unthinkable.

Although the F-35 is now the price and performance is increasingly challenged, and some participating countries have also threatened to not buy F-35, but the clearance of the project is likely to be “near misses”, the top reason is that the design of the United States monopoly.

Lies in the hands of the platform a few countries

Monopoly of weapons design is important, but also need to develop capacity and systems to match. If there is no capacity to design capacity development as support, but will be restricted.

Large equipment manufacturing, precision processing technology, materials technology, is the weapon system platform (body) development of key areas. From the computer “virtual” platform out into entities, not the actual manufacturing is impossible. The manufacture of light weapons, better said, if related to major equipment platform, heavy duty

Essential equipment manufacturing technology.

For example, in order to improve the overall performance of aviation products, large forging share in the aviation forging and single piece size is growing. For aircraft main load-bearing frame, beams and so the whole component, the United States, Russia, France and other major countries have adopted major air 4.5 to 75 thousand tons of large forging press for processing, while China is building a large

Type forging presses up to 80,000 tons maximum pressure, is the world’s largest forging press. This ultra-heavy manufacturing equipment itself is a complex system to master the technology only in the hands of a handful of countries.

Although many countries are very concerned about space, strategic reconnaissance capability, but the optical components of optical imaging satellites is a major problem. In particular the emerging off-axis three-mirror optical system, reduce the size of satellite weight, it is also a long focal length, large field, the advantages of high resolution, so it’s Precision Machining Technology

Has become the core of a new generation of optical imaging satellites. In the past, this technology has been monopolized by the United States and France, until 2009, China Changchun Optical Mechanical was a breakthrough.

Military equipment, new materials are used in various types of high-performance weapons and equipment supporting the “skeleton”, these materials demands light, just, strong. Light is the material ability to resist gravity larger; just that the material resistance to deformation under loading capacity should be large; strong, that is, material resistance to failure under loading capacity larger. In addition,

If applied to some special parts of weapons systems, such as ballistic missile warhead nose cone, fighter Smart Skin, materials also have the sensation of information. Therefore, high strength steel used in weapons systems, high-performance ceramics, composites, semiconductor materials, functional materials, it is the focus of national technical monopolies.

A large number of used satellites, spacecraft, large aircraft and airframe manufacturing high-performance fighter PAN based carbon fiber composite material as an example. Japan of the global total production capacity of 39%, the U.S. accounted for 35% of the total output of the two countries will account for 74% of global production. The core technology is primarily the United States Su Taike company, heck

Sale companies and Japanese carbon fiber company Toray monopoly.

Microelectronics semiconductor materials directly affect the level of the military, without which it would not be any phased array radar, electronic countermeasures. The production of high-quality large-diameter (6 to 8 inches) GaAs crystal technology, only Germany before FCM Corporation, Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation to master. By 2006, China has successfully drawn out of the country’s first

8-inch diameter GaAs single crystal.

The largest gap between the monopoly power technology

Mechanization of modern military combat platforms with plenty of power system is not inconceivable. From land to ocean, from the sky to outer space, with strong power systems, advanced weapons systems to show its mettle on the battlefield. Therefore, the monopoly of power system development technology, the most likely to ensure its superiority in the military field

.

Modern heavy main battle tanks weigh 70 tons, have to battle in a variety of extreme conditions to keep the motor speed of tens of kilometers per hour. While it can produce no less than 10 main battle tanks to a country, but to provide the most modern diesel-powered tank top countries, but only the United States, Germany, Russia and other several countries. In particular Germany

State MTU’s 880 series diesel engine, equipped not only in Germany itself the “Leopard 2″ main battle tank, also export and equipment to the Israeli “Merkava” South Korea’s K-1 and India’s “Arjun” Main Battle Tank on.

Equipment in the Navy, the medium and large ships to use the nuclear power reactor technology, only four countries were the United States, Russia and France in the hands. For nuclear power given the ship a long time on the water (or water) activities, thereby significantly enhancing the ship’s maneuverability and maintain a strategic presence in the distant sea deterrent, so the major powers to ensure the absolute

The monopoly of nuclear power reactor technology. The conventional power system mainly by the U.S. warship General Electric, Rolls –Royce, MTU of Germany and other monopoly companies.

Modern gas turbines used in the majority of vessels are derived from aviation engines. Therefore, the monopoly of military ships engines for military aircraft engines in the field can be dominant. Currently the United States military aircraft engine major General Electric, Pratt – Whitney and British Rolls – Royce hands. Especially

For the fourth generation of supersonic aircraft cruising in the high thrust-weight ratio engines, the United States came out top. Although Russia has flown a fifth-generation fighter, but its engine is still a level of three generations, it can develop a real fourth-generation fighter, the first breakthrough in the United States depends on whether the monopoly of the advanced engine technology. In addition, a large military

Transport aircraft of the air engine technology, also lies in the hands of the United States.

In addition to conventional land, sea and equipment, various types of missiles and space vehicles will need high-thrust rocket engines and hypersonic trans-atmospheric flight for the power plant. As the rocket engine is closely related with the long-range missiles, have not only developed countries in a monopoly of the high-thrust rocket engine technology, but also severely restricted by treaty

Trading system. United States, Russia, France, China has developed military high-thrust rocket engine technology. India, Iran is also developing intercontinental missiles to target efforts, but is generally believed that external technical assistance unless otherwise difficult to achieve significant breakthroughs in the near future.

Rocket engine in the military field, American companies will undoubtedly occupy a technical high ground. Alliant Tech Systems ATK 85% of the U.S. monopoly of the solid rocket motor market (including the world’s most advanced submarine-launched Trident-D5 missile rocket motor); liquid rocket engines were common – benefits Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne to master, world

World’s largest hydrogen and oxygen on the thrust rocket engine RS-68, is the company’s products.

Engine is known as the crown of industrial technology, research and development because it is almost need the support of the whole industrial system. Therefore, the monopoly of the most centralized power system, the largest gap technology.

Control system is highly confidential

With the weapons intelligence, precise development, an important part of weapons systems there, this is the control system.

Ballistic missiles can accurately hit targets thousands of miles across, tanks can be bumpy side road on the side of the attack moving enemy targets, fighters can make a compelling action in the air, while the enemy attack, aircraft carrier battle groups to the thousands of square kilometers one offensive and the sea are inseparable from the control system.

Ballistic missiles, high-precision inertial guidance system technology has been tightly controlled by the hands of five nuclear powers. While some countries have ballistic missiles, inertial guidance technology, but basically rely on imports, and a lot of accuracy difference. Even the imported technology is sneaky, because the inertial guidance technology is simply out of the embargo list

In.

China, “Jian Shi,” fighters use the three-axis four-redundant digital flight control system telex is a typical control system used in aircraft, its role is to ensure that when the pilot pulled the stick to maintain stable flight. China successfully developed three generations of aircraft flight control system, telex, it should be said to break the United States, Russia, France

Technical monopoly, but only Long March has completed the first step.

Fourth-generation fighter control system more than a simple flight control, but “flying, fire, force” integration of control systems. Collins and even the United States in the development of more intelligent flight control system, even if the plane was blown up a wing, can fly back! The pilot of a responsive only about 200 ms

Time to respond, but at this time, the more intelligent flight control system 10 has already made several adjustments to avoid the aircraft crashed.

“Aegis” of shipboard air defense system further illustrated the importance of the control system. Generally only notice the outside world, “Aegis” external visible Phased array radar, in fact, “Aegis” air defense system combines phased array radar, air radar, on the Sea Surface Targets, fire control radar, sonar, electronic support systems, satellite navigation, data link to

And a variety of information, it is a highly automated command and control systems. “Aegis” system has now become the U.S. Navy air defense, missile defense core, has become the monopoly of modern technology as a symbol of the Navy.

From the current public data, to develop fighter planes, tanks, warships, missiles, countries with control systems have the capability to develop. However, the information in the future battlefield weapons and equipment of large complex control systems in the field, no doubt living in the United States “arbitrary” status. The core of the control system, software system, is even more

As a top-secret hidden in the background. Both fourth-generation fighter control system can be applied to theater missile defense or the latest “Aegis” baseline -7 systems are large information engineering, software development, including not only the business community and even universities and other research institutions. The United States can publicly display F-22 fighters, and even show people, “Zeus

Shield “operation command center, but will open up the software’s source code? The game is. Even Microsoft’s windows operating system source code is top secret, not to mention the country of the weapon.

“Flexible” manufacturing

If development is to make a weapon system from scratch, then the manufacturer is to make weapons to achieve mass production, and performance, quality can meet the needs of military operations. One able to cope with the challenges of the future battlefield state, must establish the ability to automation technology, information technology and precision processing technology and into one of the “soft” advanced weapons system

Making system.

In the movie “Iron Man”, the actor Tony Stark in his luxury villa in the manufacture of steel jersey, used is a tiny flexible manufacturing system, which consists of a number of numerical control equipment, materials, transport storage devices and computer virtual control system components can be quickly modified in accordance with the requirements of Stark manufacturing materials and processes, while

Automated manufacturing systems to ensure the maximum extent and accuracy of manufacturing processes.

Although this is science fiction movie, but “flexible” manufacturing technology of advanced weapons and military enterprises in the United States has been widely used. Particularly in need high precision, high technology military aviation, aerospace, marine areas. In 2004 the United States, “Defense Today” website has reported that from 2007 to 2027, Lockheed Martin’s goal is to

To mass production when the annual production of 240 F-35 fighter jets, the equivalent of one day does not include the production rate of the weekend! Although this report there is an element of exaggeration, but it shows that the U.S. military giant, a large number of applications has been “flexible” manufacturing technology, it is impossible to make such a terrible speed.

Establishment of a “soft” advanced weapons manufacturing system, not only to break the Western countries in advanced machine tools and other automated manufacturing equipment on the monopoly, but also in artificial intelligence, intelligent sensor technology breakthrough. No advanced manufacturing system, even in the single technically advanced weapons system production rate, process will become

To drag a fatal “short board.”

Posted by admin in International News, Military Sources | No Comments

Ukraine to give up to join NATO 300x227 Ukraine to give up to join NATOUkraine’s parliament on the 1st through the “principles of domestic and foreign policies of Ukraine Law”, in which Ukraine could join NATO is not on the presentation. 279 voting members present, 259 voted in favor of the law. The draft law was submitted to Congress by the President Yanukovich, in which the contents of most concern, is about ensuring the full participation of Ukraine in Europe and regional collective security system, and with Russia and other CIS States and other countries to maintain stable relations and strategic partnership under the premise of the principle of joining the European Union. In addition, the law also described the Ukrainian government’s position in the language, is to protect Ukrainian as the state language development and social fields, the use of Russian and other minority languages to protect the free development and use.

Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine’s opposition alliance and the “Our Ukraine – People’s self-defense,” Union of the draft give strong criticism of NATO, and insisted that should make the national language of Ukrainian as the only, the draft called for a boycott the vote. The opposition argued that the adoption of the draft that the Government of Ukraine in the current situation, in fact, hope for integration with Russia.

December 2008 NATO Foreign Ministers meeting, failed to Ukraine and Georgia join NATO, “Membership Action Plan” agreed about the process into two blocked, but the NATO representatives have said there is still the future of Ukraine and Georgia the possibility of joining NATO. But Yanukovich government took office, the withdrawal service for Ukraine to join NATO Ukraine’s “Euro-Atlantic Integration Committee.” Ukraine’s leaders also said that Ukraine will no longer seek to join NATO. NATO said that Yanukovich’s decision was an internal affair of Ukraine.

However, despite Ukraine’s parliament passed the “Law of Ukraine’s domestic and foreign policy principles,” the guidance and regulations, but the Americans still Lawukelan NATO did not give up. July 2 visit to Kiev, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and held talks with President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovich. Hillary talks stressed the hope that Ukraine will join NATO’s stance, saying “NATO’s door is always open to Ukraine.” However, the U.S. Secretary of State to open the fan door of NATO, Yanukovych and did not respond, but to “the efforts of European integration of Ukraine did not retreat, never in doubt” to that of Ukraine joining the European Union desire.

Kunlun Mountains 300x265 Dock landing ship and the Chinese Maritime SafetyLanding operations of the revolution

As the name suggests, dock landing ship with nature is a kind of ocean-going sailing ability, can carry amphibious landing craft air cushion landing craft and warships. It has a large dock to accommodate the landing craft tanks, in combat, the aft cabin door open water injection, for the amphibious landing craft, amphibious tanks and hovercraft and out. Meanwhile, the modern dock landing ship also has a helicopter landing platform, database and can be equipped with transport helicopters, a vertical crack down on the enemy coastline.

Compared with the traditional landing ships, dock landing ship in the combat mode and combat capability is definitely a revolutionary step forward. Our previous equipment, large landing ship, although as high as several thousand tons displacement, and also add some landing ship helicopter landing platform, but did not dock landing ship tank, so its still a beach landing landing approach, the landing ship needs close to several hundred meters or even tens of meters from the coastline Department to open bow of the “mouth” landing. This amphibious landing approach, landing craft are often subjected to enemy fire hit coastal defense, a beachhead “target.” Dock landing ship with a “picture-style” landing mode, carrier can not close the beaches, the coastline in the distance could be farther from the release and transport helicopters, landing craft launch and landing operations, the safety of landing platform with a certain degree of protection.

Dock landing ship with a huge tonnage, it has unmatched by conventional landing craft ship in space and life, which brings two major benefits: The life and occupant comfort. Great life can make dock landing ship offshore deployment, and deployment of its time at sea longer, so a dock landing ship of the hot spots can be sustained for months deterrence.

Crew comfort is equally important, dock landing ship combat mode is carrying hundreds of Marines and equipment were deployed at sea, in the long voyage, the soldier’s physical and mental state is essential to provide adequate space so soldiers can ship to physical training and small-scale tactical exercise to maintain their physical fitness and quality of basic tactics. Landing ship dock ships because of its large internal space, and helicopters taking off and landing platform for the Marine Corps can provide long deployment at sea.

We compare the dock landing ship tank landing ship and the performance of large-scale, we can easily find dock landing ship has a great advantage.

Retired United States, “Newport” class tank landing ships, for example, load displacement of 8,450 tons of its length 159 m, carrying capacity is not small, and can be carrying 400 fully armed soldiers, 10 tanks or armored vehicles. New tank landing ship also has a helicopter platform, capable of accommodating two medium transport helicopters. Dock landing ship of the load displacement usually tons, such as the U.S., “San Antonio” class dock landing ship load displacement of 25,000 tons, but carrying personnel and equipment is not too much, in general, “San Antonio” class only carrying a battalion of marines (including personnel and equipment). In the full load displacement of almost 3 times the case, the dock landing ship carrying personnel and equipment, the amount was only slightly more Bi Tanke landing ships, dock landing ship then the advantage lie?

The difference lies in the sea holding force and the diversity of vehicles carried. Large tank landing ship’s maximum speed of about 20, life is usually only 3000 to 4000 nautical miles, such as “Newport” class tank landing ship’s life to only 2,500 nautical miles offshore holding force of 10-15 days. As the tank landing ship carrying a large number of personnel and equipment needed supplies, maintenance equipment, supplies and other materials can not be obtained through the sea, and have to follow the formation of offshore supply ship fuel, tank landing ships at sea can not be a long time, “swinging.” Dock landing ship of life is much larger than tank landing ships. “San Antonio” holding force at sea level has not “sea” to measure up. It is six months at sea deployment time, that is, after service in the class ship, at sea for 6 months before they need to return to a port (of course half-way to its need for oil supply ship replenishment at sea). In the U.S. Navy’s operations manual, “San Antonio” class set sail to bring the Marine Corps, will use 1 month or so rushed to the hot spots, and then in the region for a 4-month deterrent patrol, the ship’s landing Teams always on alert, ready to launch the regional situation as small-scale amphibious assault. This task, in any case with a tank landing ship was not completed. Tank landing ship to the narrow cabin and deck so bored Marines inside the first half, not always maintain the combat readiness of the soldiers to come ashore and whether a firm has been a problem.

For the marines, the dock landing ship is not a temporary dwelling of their own means of transport, but a semi-permanent barracks. If necessary, a dock landing ship recruits could be trained as a soldier. Dock landing ship with everything we have in camp: more spacious living space, the necessary space, weight training, weapons and vehicles operating sites, or even range.

In the 1982 Falklands War, the British sent a large naval amphibious fleet, but Britain was not yet equipped with dock landing ship or amphibious assault ship, across the Atlantic Ocean sea-crossing process, in order to keep Marines on board physical and operational status of the soldiers, the British navy to use the accompanying two aircraft carriers and container ships, Marine Corps soldiers in batches by helicopter to the carrier, the flight deck as their training ground, drill team with a variety of tactical actions and . Precisely because of the sea “training camp”, these temporary mobilization marines after a long sea voyage, not only the problem of declining state does not appear, but use this time to study the tactics of navigation, and terrain for the Falklands made a specific exercise, so then began the landing operations more smoothly. Because of this, the United Kingdom can be used for ocean-going deployment of amphibious ships are very concerned about the reduction in the funding situation year after year, still 90′s of last century up to 20,000 tons displacement built the “Ocean” was a helicopter carrier.

If the traditional landing ship “from land to land” combat landing, dock landing ships and amphibious assault ship the Navy was to provide a “from sea to land,” the combat capability. Of course, to realize “from sea to land,” the combat, only a dock landing ship is not enough, also need to have offshore fleet, precision-guided weapons and supported by carrier-based air combat forces, but the dock landing ship is one of the key links .

Why not through the deck?

Domestic service in the dock landing ship before the Japanese “Dayu” level, South Korea, “Dokdo” class dock landing ship had been put into active service. Although the same for the dock landing ship, the ship in Japan and Korea are more “modern”, with direct flight deck and lift, in appearance resembles a light aircraft carrier, so the two ship-often referred to as “quasi-carrier.” Domestic dock landing ships aft there is a larger helicopter landing platform, tall the bridge is still central. The ship caused the appearance of the traditional concerns of many military fans in this the author tries to talk about their own views.

Dock landing ship carrying a landing platform, the main feature is the use of helicopters, landing craft and air cushion landing craft and other mechanical sub-carriers, the troops sent to enemy beaches, launch and landing operations. Because of their means of delivery, determines the basic elements of dock landing ship dock is aft of the tank and helicopter platforms. Amphibious assault ship is the dock landing ship can be considered the “enhanced version”, which not only has a docking compartment, carry their own weapons (including ship-based weapons and vertical landing combat / attack aircraft) are also very strong can be said that the amphibious assault ship In the dock landing ship based on the increase of the air strike capability, with a “land attack” of the dock landing ship.

Take-off from the amphibious assault ship air combat force, currently there are mainly two: armed helicopters and vertical / short take-fighting / attack aircraft. As the marine environment salt spray and water vapor on the corrosion of combat aircraft have a strong role, belonging to the armed forces army aviation helicopter before without a special transformation is not used directly onto the ship, in addition, anti-landing square in the firepower cases, the vitality of the helicopter has been a major problem. Amphibious assault ship can use tools mainly rely on air strikes vertical / short take-fighting / attack aircraft.

The United States is the world’s only amphibious assault ship equipped with the state, the U.S. Navy’s amphibious assault ship is mainly responsible for the two roles, the use of helicopters, LCAC or conventional landing craft delivery unit, the second is to use the AV-8B vertical / short distance from the down the implementation of carrier aircraft with limited sea control tasks and the use of ocean anti-submarine anti-submarine helicopters. As the F-35B will serve, the United States is now preparing for the existing fleet of amphibious assault ship Dress F-35B. F-35B in the Dress, the amphibious assault ship in the sea control will be greatly enhanced. Although the amphibious assault ship can not carry warning planes, the future development of UAV technology unmanned carrier-based early warning aircraft may become a reality, then the United States, the displacement of 40,000 tons of the amphibious assault ship Jiang have strong maritime control, be sufficient light of other countries or even medium-sized aircraft carrier operations.

Japan and South Korea were not the introduction of AV-8B, so they built “Dayu” level and “Dokdo” level, the were not prepared to carry the vertical / short-range carrier-based aircraft landing. Japan has joined the “Joint Strike Fighter” program, but so far, Japan’s only going to use F-35A, the conventional takeoff and landing, the Japanese Self-Defense Force Air Force equipment. “Dokdo” class can not fit on the lift F-35B, of its hangar size also does not take into account the need to carry these aircraft, “Dayu” level the structure is more simple, and not set under the hangar deck. Although the two ships can theoretically be achieved through large-scale transformation of carrying 4 to 6 F-35B (“Osumi” class can be tethered directly to the deck F-35B) of the target, but such a big change takes a long time and money, not from the cost that a light aircraft such as the new office, after all, South Korea and Japan is the world’s largest ship design and construction of a light aircraft carrier is not insurmountable difficulties. The construction of Japan “quasi carriers” to prove that Japan’s East Asian security threat is redundant, we all know that current technology to the Japanese strength, can easily Jianzao a fairly good medium-sized aircraft carrier Xingneng hull, do not use “Dayu” level to What technology demonstrator aircraft carrier.

Therefore, were unable to carry the vertical / short take the case of carrier aircraft, the “big corner,” and “Dokdo” class dock landing ship and domestic performance in combat is not qualitatively different. In the dock landing ship using the straight deck, also need to pay a certain price, large size makes the flight deck of the ship structure, larger weight and cabin space is limited and so on. Of course, straight for the ship-borne helicopter landing deck has some advantages, in through the deck of the dock landing ship, the helicopter can take off by way of short-range roll, as opposed to completely “straight up and down” the fixed take-off mode, short-range can increase the number of take-off roll off load, but the gap is not significant.

Dock landing ship made amphibious ships offshore, as our first attempt, technically conservative design is forgiven, the same time as the dock landing ship, its main function modules (dock space, and helicopters taking off and landing systems) were already available, with the most basic of combat capability, so the design is more successful. Along with the construction of shipbuilding technology and accumulation of experience in the design of future amphibious ships will also become more sophisticated.

Maritime territorial disputes in the limited war

Due to historical reasons, China some time after the founding of the Nansha Islands sea area is not effectively controlled, resulting in most of the Nansha Islands and 60,70 in the last century’s neighboring countries were occupied. They say, easy to allay it, please God, in the neighboring countries has resulted in the fact that the situation holds, although today’s Chinese Navy already has the ability to cruise Spratly Islands, but the forces of surface ships and submarines from the need to defend the interests of Nansha is still considerable distance.

Peace and development have become mainstream of the world today, forced by large-scale war to recover the possibility of the Nansha islands and reefs occupied a small, but equally, through international negotiations and diplomatic pressure is difficult to recover the Nansha interests. The status of the Nansha Islands to the Chinese Navy made a pointed question. To solve this dilemma, we need not only to long-range cruise of the Spratlys and the aircraft carrier air power, in fact, the low intensity of the “limited war”, in a number of surface warships with cooperation from the dock landing ship more to “skillfully deflected the” role. Dock landing ship of balance and versatility, a Navy combat operations in the Spratly Islands offers a variety of options.

War for limited objectives of the British maritime strategist Julian Corbett made in the last century, “sea limited war” theory. Corbett that maritime rights and interests in the form of struggle can be divided into all-out war and limited war, total war aim is to comprehensively beat the hostile country, to destroy the capacity of countries into the sea, and limited war aim is to beat each other in a particular field, thus achieve a certain strategic objectives. Spratly Islands dispute, the parties appear to have a limited objective. Nansha Islands and neighboring countries, we occupy, to obtain a copy of the Nansha area of marine resources; and China also are seeking recovery of reefs, rather than destroy the military forces around the country. In this premise, any party to war hastily magnification, from low-intensity skirmishes upgrade to the large-scale war, not a wise move, in addition to wreak havoc outside the country’s strategic resources, the geographic sensitivity may also result in the Nansha Islands other powers involved in the Spratly Islands conflict, making the situation more complicated struggle.

Nansha Islands, reefs are numerous, but these islands were not great. Taiping Island, the largest of which is currently the only two companies of military scale, the Nansha Islands in the Pacific Islands is the only self-capacity of freshwater island, not only the Nansha Islands and other smaller area, including all materials, including fresh water have to rely on foreign supplies. Fewer of these troops (usually only several dozen people), supply dependence on the mainland of enemy occupied islands, dock landing ship from the sea using a raid to seize and stick to a certain time, is entirely feasible technically.

Dock landing ship with a longer self-sustaining power and life at sea, it is a deployment at sea of ships, while the large navigable tank landing ship is a ship at sea. Dock landing ship carrying Marines in the Nansha area is a normal combat patrol, but contains a large tank landing ship squadron appeared in the Nansha area is often considered a prelude to large-scale military operations. Conventional landing craft at sea while holding force is limited, can only stay in the Nansha sea area a few days, during this time, neighboring countries may be alert and response measures taken in diplomacy. Therefore, the use of dock landing ship launched against the enemy occupied island “limited attack”, can be reached at the battle of sudden.

Contrast from the strength point of view, dock landing ship carrying a Marine Corps battalion size, fully capable of winning the mandate of a single enemy occupied islands and reefs. Dock landing ship itself is installed in the caliber gun and a number of short-range carrier-based suppression of firearms, for the Marine Corps can provide some fire support. As the carrying capacity of amazing, the recovery after the enemy occupied islands and reefs, we can use the ship carrying the equipment and materials, the rapid construction of fortifications on the islands and reefs and sovereignty of signs, to the garrison stationed on the island, hoarding supplies needed for long stick and ammunition.

Naval blockade and limited deterrence

Limited war aim is to find each other at the strategic layout of “Achilles heels”, by just right of the local hit, the other completely passive. Layout Spratly Islands in the reefs, making it is easy to identify the conflict, the “key points” on a particular one or two reefs to fight and recover, to achieve our strategic goal. 90 in the last century the struggle against the Philippine sea, we build through the capture and base Mischief Reef, departing from the Philippines, local tender must only control the Mischief Reef area, making the Philippines in the Nansha islands and reefs occupied caught unprecedented passive. Similarly, in the struggle against the sea of other countries, we can use this “key point” tactics, that is to occupy a key reefs to form other potential enemy occupied islands and reefs of the siege of its transport fleet supply the formation of block.

Dock landing ship involved in the form of a naval blockade, in cooperation with surface vessels in the sea area of conflict for a long period of combat cruise. Dock landing ship a large helicopter platform, and the hull large, have good ability of airworthiness and anti-wave, suitable for such in the Nansha area of high sea and patrol. Naval blockade of the main target is the enemy starting from the local transport fleet. Depend on the situation as the two sides, blocking can be divided into maritime surveillance, expelled enemy ships, other vessels such as detention and sinking of several grades, which supplies much-needed support for a very deadly enemy occupied islands and reefs.

Naval blockade is a form of limited war, the purpose of a naval blockade, through military deterrence, to occupy the neighboring countries of the Spratlys, in fact unsustainable, so we get more at the negotiating table the initiative. At the same time, participate in a naval blockade of the fleet also requires the implementation of stronger strength of military operations, which the adversary is also a real threat. Yao away from the direction of the mainland of China to implement a naval blockade, not only need the ability to offshore activities, surface warships, also needs the participation of dock landing ship. Because the dock landing ship not only for sea blockade, but also a sudden deterioration in the situation in the negotiations as soon as the “sea blockade” into a “limited war”, can provide more options for policy-makers.

Protect our reefs of the Nansha Islands on the control reefs our conditions very difficult. These reefs are a very small area, and the Spratly Islands and other reefs, as supplies and ammunition needed transportation from the rear. In addition, troops are not many, we control the reefs also exists the danger of attacks by neighboring countries. Our surface ships currently cruising the density of the Spratly Islands has significantly increased than in the past, but still not have enough ships to do at any time in the deployment of the Nansha sea area, dock landing ship made after the service, to fill gaps in China’s amphibious capabilities, the use of in the ocean, while amphibious assault operations, but also for the defense of our occupied islands and reefs.

Dock landing ship at sea in the use of defensive operations, above all, reinforcements and supplies for reefs. Use of dock landing ship carrying landing craft and helicopters, able to ship 100 kilometers away from our reefs emergency transport materials and personnel to enhance the island’s defense forces to fight the enemy’s invasion. Secondly, the deployment of the Nansha sea dock landing ship also provides a vital force for the islands and reefs when we were temporarily seized, the dock landing ship can launch a counterattack against the enemy, to regain the islands and reefs. If there is no deployment of dock landing ship at sea, the enemy is likely to occupy the reefs for a long period of time, whether on the battlefield or in foreign affairs, will be very negative.

Large-scale war in the dock landing ship

China is a country with 18,000 kilometers of coastline and numerous islands of the sea state, and reunification has not been completed, the issue of sovereignty in a number of islands, also in dispute with neighboring countries. And destroyers, frigates, submarines, warships and other main compared to the Navy landing ship and equipment in our sequence does not introduce attention, but it undertakes the task of cross-sea transportation of combat troops, in addition to Xisha, Nansha port of the island who can not build the task of conveying material supplies, the importance least as much as any of the other ships.

Landing craft from the world development, the large, universal has become a trend, such as the United States, Britain, France, Italy and other States are equipped with large-scale amphibious landing ships are strong and are developing more advanced, larger tonnage of , faster speed landing craft, and these countries, China Fleet landing there is a big shortage of transport capacity also. China’s neighboring countries are also rapidly expanding its navy amphibious ships, in addition to Japan and Korea, ASEAN and South Asian countries are by way of the arms purchase from abroad and even used a large landing ship dock landing ship.

To improve the transport capacity and increase the use of landing ships, landing craft to the future to large-scale, balanced development. Dock landing ship loaded a large quantity, life force, self-sustaining and strong, anti-wave is good, versatile, can better achieve “balanced loading” and were far from the sea long-term deployment, greatly improve the combat capability of landing ships and the use of flexible sex.

Examples from the world view of landing operations, pay more attention to the speed of modern landing operations, since landing fall backs, is the most difficult kind of fighting. If the sea-crossing time and the assault landing time is shortened to give the enemy no doubt be fully prepared and greatly enhance the opportunities for success in landing operations. At this point, our landing craft are not the most satisfactory manner. Active landing ships from our situation, hovercraft and helicopters capable of carrying not more, and landing ship speed was generally small. Especially in the formation after the addition of civilian vessels, the speed varies due to various ships, and sea-crossing to ensure the formation of the unified rate will have great difficulty. In addition, a local sea war in the future, the beach landing operations against the enemy when landing because the setting is not only combined with fire plan, and natural and artificial obstacles and obstructions combined with the temporary setting of early set formed by combining an extremely dense barrier system. In this case, the former shore landing plane direct approach has gradually given way to combat use of amphibious assault ships, large air cushion landing craft, helicopters, three-dimensional vertical landing combat methods. These new tools, a large number of landing equipment, the modern landing operations faster, better maneuverability, and can focus on the enemy across the beach obstacles and fortified the coast, deep in the enemy’s landing, landing operations out of the past, with backs to the adverse situation, greatly speed up the process of landing.

The demand for combat operations against Taiwan, China continue to expand the traditional landing fleet size, the should be equipped with a number of dock landing ship, and develop to the hovercraft, a large ground-effect plane, helicopter landing, and other new tools to break the traditional style of landing operations development of integrated joint operations capability.

Integrated theory of the essence of joint landing: formation of a high degree of synthetic full-time troops in Landing Operation to independently carry out combat missions. The force size is not necessarily great, but the financial land, sea and air combat capability in one, dedicated landing ship activities with soldiers, helicopters are configured with the ship, and a certain air and sea assault on the fire. Integrated joint forces usually ship tactical units have a certain attack, transport, and self-protection of sea-crossing and landing assault force, with strong mobility and synthetic. Once the War, just sent out several vessels or the dozens of ships, will be able to form a certain scale amphibious assault force.

Synthesis of this elite fighting force, not only to avoid the use of different types of ships and temporary services and arms to bring some of the drawbacks, and can reduce the threat of high-tech weapons. In rough seas, assault landing stage, the landing force distributed independently, avoiding the high-tech weapons has caused a greater combat casualties. U.S. and British coalition forces in the second Middle East War Battle of Port Said, direct transmission from the ship-borne helicopter for vertical landing, a helicopter landing in the history of using the first vertical landing. U.S. invasion of Grenada, the troops landed in 6000, of whom only 250 were landed by landing craft, and the other by the transport umbrella, landing and take a helicopter landing.

Super-horizon assault landing 80 of the last century since the United States first proposed the landing operations tactics. The tactics required in the future high-tech local wars crossing and landing operations, 2 / 3 of the troops to take “from the shore to shore,” or “from the ship to shore” in the form of air transport to the enemy launched a surprise attack, and quickly follow-up to the enemy coast mobile combat forces, timely expansion of victories, winning landing beaches and landing field, landing operations rapidly to achieve the purpose. Super-horizon assault landing theory, its essence is to rely on high-tech landing tools, rapid transport landing forces ashore. The one hand this way from the landing force of basic underwater obstacles, and high speed landing spot formation can transfer area or pan of water set up in a place far from the coast, reducing the enemy fire on the landing transport ship coast boat threat.

Landing operations conducted over the horizon, must be equipped with landing craft or amphibious assault ship dock. Dock landing ship used in amphibious air-cushion landing craft has a good nature, not only travel but also directly on the water landing, the landing troops with weapons and vehicles, materials sent to the enemy with the cast of the lateral line of defense, thus eliminating the interference from the beach water landing this difficult stage, which greatly accelerated the assault landing speed. To take such a landing approach, by beach topography and hydrology, and sea restrictions greatly reduced, making the landing area conducive to greater choice lots more, faster mobility, and further increases the landing direction and landing site variability, and landing operations to achieve sudden, realized the assault landing in the distance and speed.

Taiwan’s integration in joint operations, the dock landing ship landing fleet combined with the traditional, not only to visit the battlefield to achieve positive integration and diversification, and dock landing ship as a balanced loading capacity and greater endurance, you can Taiwan to launch the secondary direction of small-scale diversionary landing operations. Landing ship dock ships required to meet the less, the basic control command of the sea in the waters or even single-ship actions, to use its air-cushion landing craft and helicopters, weak defense against the enemy’s flank and rear of the coastline to launch battalion-scale landing operations, in line with the positive landing site of action. In addition, the dock landing ship amphibious command is a good platform, due to ship large, with plenty of cabin space for theater command structure set up in the mobile command post set up near the enemy coast, the landing operation command complex.

Conclusion

Amphibious landing ships carrying capacity is no doubt strong, but if we regard it as a “porter” a serious mistake. The completion of the new dock landing ship marks the People’s Navy landing operations will be significant changes in style. Meanwhile, the domestic dock landing ships is a starting point, in the hope that China’s future naval amphibious force would be more powerful and comprehensive.

Most of the Russian spy suspects are Handsome men and beautiful women

Jul 1

Posted by admin in Military Sources, Russia | No Comments

Anna Chapman 28 year old spy 229x300 Most of the Russian spy suspects are Handsome men and beautiful womenAccording to reports, U.S. Department of Justice recently announced the arrest of 11 among 10 people arrested, 8 were married, the remaining duo, including a “hot” in beauty Anna Chapman, and she has red hair, full body economic master, called both beauty and wisdom, while the other is the “sportsman” Smenko.

According to reports, 28-year-old Chapman is Russian, lives in downtown Manhattan residence of a property in the online brokerage business, reportedly worth two million U.S. dollars, “New York Post,” Chapman has described the “Western model offered underwear figure “(Victoria’s Secret body).

U.S. prosecutors said Chapman, “agents who have received rigorous training.” It is reported that she used his personal network, starting in January this year, will be sent to the Russian authorities confidential.

Administration refers to Chapman and to establish a private network connection to exchange data, once she walked into the coffee shop, Internet access with portable computers, and a connector’s truck drove to the roadside, the two private networks exchange information using computer .

Last week, an FBI officer posing as “the Russian official,” a restaurant in New York to meet with Chapman, asked Chapman to a fake passport to a female spy. They further confirmed that a secret joint statement, believed to “spy” will be asked: “Last year we met you in California?” Chapman would answer: “No, I think we should be seen in Hampton , right? ”

When Chapman and the “official” meeting, the Chapman false name and fake address real-time purchase of a phone, is believed to be used to avoid surveillance by U.S. authorities.

I do not know why Chapman did not ultimately conduct this task, but she’s another “party” men spy suspects Smenko is exactly the trap of the FBI. Undercover officers asked Smenko, if something was brought to light what?

He replied: “will destroy the hard disk to install communications equipment, while only a place to escape, is the Russian Consulate in New York.”

Reports that the handsome Smenko is a 30-year-old about the “sportsman”, driving Mercedes S500 sedan with a blonde girlfriend. He will speak Russian, English, Spanish and Mandarin, in a travel agency, primarily Chinese and Hispanic people to help plan itineraries.

Neighbor pointed Smenko conversation with his girlfriend will be in Russian, no interaction with neighbors.

Desert tactical light weapons showcased latest SRS sniper rifles

May 19

Posted by admin in Military Sources, Weapons | No Comments

Desert tactical light weapons showcased latest SRS sniper rifles 300x104 Desert tactical light weapons showcased latest SRS sniper riflesSpecial equipment in 2010 show Jordanian desert tactical light weapons companies (Desert Tactical Arms) presented its “secret Scout” (Stealth Recon Scout: SRS) weapons systems, the company claimed that rifle is the world’s largest firearms use, its unique structure to enable it to quickly change aperture. Whole system has good flexibility, full length gun was even shorter than the M16A2 assault rifle.

Desert tactical light weapons, said the company, SRS is the world’s shortest sniper rifles, sniper rifles shorter than most conventional 300 mm, this is because the rifle used without care structure and scalable butt design, which makes the whole center of gravity gun After the move, only to grow up big gun reduced, and improved balance.

Initially the company plans to design a special firing .338-caliber lapua – magnum rifle ammunition, but in communication with the military and the police, the company found that their .300 Winchester – magnum caliber and .308 caliber Winchester more interested. This change makes the rifle .300 and .308 derived from the diameter of different caliber have different uses, some have good mobility and penetration is not too strong to use in street fighting, some in mountains use, emission .338 lapua – magnum shells with a range of 1 mile.

Another advantage of SRS is the user mobility only with .308-caliber Winchester rifle trained on it, because the latter is easier to shoot and barrel life is .338 lapua – magnum caliber rifle 4 times. Design requires rifle can be used in extremely harsh environment, therefore, SRS uses a high impact polymer, aerospace grade aluminum, high strength steel and high strength coatings. Allegedly, SRS in a simulated environment is maintained in any good precision and reliability, including high temperature, dust, moisture and cold environment.

International organizations said: Over the past 10 years in India, more than 5,000 people killed or injured by mines

Nov 21

Posted by admin in Asia, Military Sources | No Comments

November 21 Xinhua, “the International Campaign to Ban Landmines” (ICBL) 20 issued a report that over the past 10 years, about 3,000 people died in India mine blast, more than 2,000 injured, most of the incidents took place in India and Pakistan border, Jammu-cum – Kashmir.

According to “Central News Agency” reports, ICBL in the “Mine Monitoring Report 2009,” pointed out that cum following the Jammu Kashmir, the Indian province of northeastern Manny slope (Manipur) is also a civilian mine casualties in most areas.

Reported that a mine explosion in the Indian region, including the western state of Rajasthan (Rajasthan), Punjab (Punjab), the northern province of Sikkim (Sikkim) and eastern and central regions such as the rebellion.

Reported that the Indian military the most recent large-scale mining operations are in the India-Pakistan border in 2001-2002 up to 2880 kilometers of the border areas, an estimated two million laying of mines, a direct impact on India of more than 21 villages in the region 6000 family security.

The report notes that the Indian military units to conduct mine clearance Though action, but also suffered many casualties. ICBL called on India to sign the Convention on the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. Reports that an estimated 400-500 million pieces in India is still stored anti-personnel mines.
