Western media can not understand the Chinese military don’t carry guns to the disaster area

Jul 2

Since the June 15 People’s Liberation Army into effect the new “House rules” provides that, in post, barracks door, weapons storage sites and other important guard duty, guard, to be equipped with firearms and ammunition.

This means that the barracks gate guard duty troops will no longer be as before, only to wear a space mission magazine, and begin to live ammunition to keep watch task.

Then the new “House rules,” Why do these adjustments? The reality of the need for this adjustment is reflected in what?

The above problems, the reporter interviewed military experts, the National Defense University Professor Gong Bin.

Bullet combination can improve the ability of soldiers to perform their duties

Reporter: The new “Domestic Affairs” Why should the provisions of the guards to carry live ammunition security tasks?

Gong Bin: The newly revised “House Bill” specifies “in any place, any situation, who must be equipped with guns and ammunition.” In short, the basic purpose of human bullet combination is effective to enhance capacity of service personnel to perform their duties.

Separation of the Chinese military bullet that is superior social nature

Reporter: The new “House rules” promulgated before the camp gate guard duty guard is how to do it? Why?

Gong Bin: The combination of human bullets and separation in the military is structured. Battlefield, it goes without saying, certainly the combination of one bullet, and then we went through different stages. I am a soldier in bed when the bullet, the readily desirable.

But later, after the separation of management to take bullets. This is in fact the Westerners are more concerned about. Earthquake can not think of the Western media referred to two points, one can not think of Chinese soldiers to the disaster areas is not a gun, the other can not think of is the relationship between the military and the people so well.

The two can not think of the deep revealed the separation of the Chinese army can exist why the bullet, and in the West does not exist.

This is inside the security considerations, but the deeper nature of the tasks mainly by the military and China’s social status determined.

China’s long history of military heritage, social and moral image of the good, won the trust of the people – this case only by moral image processing related tasks, the course of duty sufficient to effectively address all the problems, so do not bring in the service of truth gun ammunition.

Western military and, unlike China, the West is taking the military and society, and people separated way, do not encourage the military to take up social services, response to disasters is most Yikao professional force, when necessary to maintain order troops into the disaster area when the problem becomes too serious.

With many Western societies guns, coupled with people’s human personality problems, they face a number of events need strong problem-solving.

Bullets appear one separation is a very simple phenomenon, reflecting the troops behind the nature and moral status in society and image.

Is a heavily armed guard to adapt to the new period of social development

Reporter: The new House rules and regulations combined with the reality of the need for bullet What?

Gong Bin: The reason for making the combination of one bullet, does not mean our military values and functions of a fundamental change in mission, mainly the reality needs to be done according to a technical adjustment.

In recent years, frequently occurring sentinel killed, the reason firearms stolen from the various events, the corresponding introduction of the policy is also necessary.

One problem is that there ethnic separatists, terrorists are increasingly rampant, because the separatists increasingly concentrated attacks on military objectives, this case must ensure that guards are capable of responding to hazardous elements, must provide the necessary means , which requires one cartridge combination.

Another major social transition, with frequent contradictions, uncertainties abound about. Social transition must be multiple conflicts, for various reasons some people to mental imbalance and psychological distortions.

Although we say about social issues as long as not violent, general internal approach, without live ammunition, but still need special circumstances of containment and deterrence, which requires a means to enhance the problem.

In addition, the diversity and commitment of our military relationship between the military tasks.

The new mission and ability to enhance the performance of their duties, it must extend to the means to come, it is going to expand our military functions and tasks, take one bullet combination of measures and policies should be the one.

Russian military helicopters big shake-up Inspiration: China desperately short of dedicated armed helicopters

M -28 attack helicopter

According to the Russian “Air Port” Web site on May 20 reported that the Russian Air Force deputy chief Oleg – Barmin Major General announced: The Russian Air Force by 2015 will be approximately 400 new military helicopters, most of them MiG-28N, cards and rice -8 -52 helicopter modified. Barmin said: “We buy all the military helicopters, night fighting capability will have all the helicopters are for portable rocket defense capabilities.” Moreover, Russia is stepping up development of the fifth generation of advanced combat helicopter.

Why the Russian air force to begin mass Dress

Russian Air Force Commander Alexander Zelin said the Russian Air Force plans to purchase new helicopters, allowing the army in the plains and mountains and all-weather military operations, the two helicopters will have installed a new digital airborne avionics equipment, which will improve the air force 2 times. After the reorganization of the Russian military industrial complex to solve the military’s access card installed and -52 m-28N helicopter mission, that makes the two helicopters had also entered the Air Force service opportunities. At the same time, its fleet of attack helicopters and Mi m -24 -26 heavy transport helicopters will also be modernized in the 2011 modification. The purpose of the implementation of the plan is to create a strategic cluster of Army Aviation combat. Such a powerful attack with air power not only independent implementation of the combat missions, but also the implementation of special operations for the other to provide strong support for the strong sector. The new equipment will be the Russian special forces helicopter base and the mountain air mobility operations forces a major force.

Some analysts have pointed out that although the Russian military had previously announced a number of procurement in 2015, dozens of cards -50 “Black Shark” and the card -52 “alligator” armed helicopters to equip its air force, but from the Russian air force commander said the latest news of view, both the number of expensive purchases of helicopters may not fully meet the requirements of the Russian military. After a long pause, the card -50/52 production activities in 2006, was finally able to restart. Although both advanced and m-28N helicopter defeated in the competition, not a Russian Army Aviation’s main battle equipment, but they have effectively been selected as the Russian Special Forces fire support model, and has become Russia Air Force procurement models.

In the past decade, the plight of the Russian economy has led to an updated weaponry too slow. It is estimated that, based on the status of the Russian Air Force, at the same time a year to purchase 40 new helicopters to fill the old model helicopter retired vacuum. However, in the post-Soviet Russian economy has been in a depressed state, so, in fact, the Russian Air Force combat capability of the armed helicopter has been in decline. While Russia’s two major helicopter manufacturers in the same time the development of the fourth generation of armed helicopters, but because of limited funding for the Russian air force, can not afford to purchase a large number of them, so that the two armed helicopters, although the aviation industry has been the hot products but has not been a de facto Russian Air Force orders.

Active duty Air Force helicopter in Russia, about 50% of the fighter aircraft nearly 15 ~ 20 years old, 20% of the fighter aircraft is 15 years old, 30% of the fighter aircraft age of 10 to 15 years, less than 1% of the warplanes Machine age of 5 years. In other words, Russia’s most active-duty helicopters, the structure exists because of aging, electronic equipment behind, facing a long military age embarrassing accident-prone situation. A report even said that the Russian Air Force in the 21st century, still in use 70 years of the 20th century the production of helicopters, to illustrate this point.

Since President Putin came to power, although the Russian economy dependent on energy exports picked up, but difficult to restore the peak of the Soviet period. Putin later and now the administration of President Medvedev since the Russian economy, although there are many problems, however, was similar to revive Russia’s dream of world power is no hesitation, therefore, several years, the fact that the Russian military on the technology and equipment have made great progress.

Early last year the Russian government announced the implementation of the reform program of the Russian cut, plans to reduce the amount of the 2012 general members to 1 million, the reform program in the country faced no small resistance. In early May of this year, Russia held at the Red Square military parade ceremony, attracting worldwide attention, a lot of shows with the Red Square parade of new Russian weapons and equipment, in particular a large number of sophisticated weapons and new conventional weapons, appearance, just wanted to tell people: Russia “strengthening the military,” determined not to change, “Mape combination” plan developed by the Russian military reform will not change Russia’s ability to build a world-class military, Russia’s power status is to restore Russia’s great power images can not be ignored.

Russia’s Interfax News Agency reported May 20 that the Russian Air Force will buy all the helicopters are used in combat, may participate in night combat, all helicopters are equipped with anti-aircraft missiles against ground protection system. If the quantity and quality of these very considerable time to join the Russian Air Force helicopter is expected that by 2015 40% of Russian military helicopters will be updated or improved, it will no doubt after the Russian aviation industry and the restructuring of the Russian Air Force’s low altitude attack, play a significant role in promoting.

Inspiration on the development of China’s army aviation

Although the Chinese army aviation unit has been achieved by the tactical transport type to attack by the implementation of the land attack mission to the implementation of the coastal reefs, is composed of a single batch of a single large formations of aircraft flying to the flying direction of the change, but the level of equipment and operations Comparing to other advanced countries, is still relatively backward. A large number of other developed countries, basic equipment and medium-sized private armed helicopters, and equipment are our main products modified by transport helicopters, in addition to the introduction of a limited number of light helicopters dedicated “gazelle”, the majority can only be regarded as armed transport helicopter. So, in fact, the offensive capabilities of Army aviation in China is also very limited, and our military needs a new strategy there is a gap. The development needs of our military at this stage from the point of view, is the need to greatly strengthen the army and air force in the armed helicopters equipped with the ratio mentioned above, in particular rice-28N, -52, etc. card sized powerful special attack helicopters. At present, China has developed a number of helicopters equipped group, has completed the “from scratch” changes. The next step will be to achieve “from there to the superior” changes again, that requires great efforts to equip a large number of private armed helicopters, to achieve dramatically improve the combat effectiveness of Army aviation.

In fact, these two types of armed helicopters in Russia have vigorously promote foreign countries, but even though Russia was on the performance of two types of armed helicopters publicity hype, but they did not own the actual equipment units, and thus its credibility compromised . This time the Russian equipment, if large quantities of these models, not only the Russian military has been assured of the performance models. Moreover, by actual test, it will dispel the doubts of other countries want to purchase, which is a means of Russian products. The procurement of two helicopters by the military, not only rescued two Russian helicopter manufacturing enterprise development dilemma, but also for the two companies more than a decade of R & D programs of these two models marked a more satisfactory conclusion. Otherwise, these models would make sense to the huge R & D, will lose access to a new generation of Russian military helicopters update opportunities.

The large-scale procurement of the Russian Air Force, for its own helicopter industry is of great significance. If China’s army aviation helicopter can also be a large number of purchases made will be China’s helicopter industry’s strong support, but also to promote our helicopter manufacturing technology level. The technology improved, it will also promote the growth of the helicopter industry, basic materials and aviation industries. Can be said that the relationship between the two are complementary, the entire aviation manufacturing will benefit from it. If a single technical level of domestic limited grounds to challenge the domestic aviation manufacturing R & D capabilities, self-developed products will lose the opportunity to practice and challenges. Only by constantly improving aviation innovation, R & D capabilities, the introduction of absorption and innovation capacity, ongoing scientific and technological own products and continuous improvement, to achieve a new round of air in the field by leaps and bounds.

North Korean naval war will be suicide attacks, powerful enemy completely devastated

May 30

Posted by admin in North Korea, Observers | Comments off

【Canada, “Chinese Defense Review,” June number (early publication) article】 title: South Korean naval vessels from the explosion to see non-symmetric sea

Korea Aegis destroyers, American Aegis-equipped destroyers, 3,000-ton submarines designed a new generation of South Korea, the United States Naval pride. If the real Fighting North and South Korea, North Korea, navy and air force but by sea, air guerrillas it.

But it is this complacency, the South Korean navy “Pohang” class 1,200 tons of PCC-722 coastal patrol boats actually in the March 26 evening exploded, so far unexplained.

US-made Aegis destroyers in naval warfare has never been damaged, but several years ago was in the Gulf of Aden by boat loaded with explosives, suicide attacks, killed or wounded 27 people. Practically hors de combat. This is the modern asymmetric warfare at sea terror between.

Opponents may not have advanced surface ships, but on very simple methods, is still able to hit powerful enemy.

In China. Fifties and sixties of last century Battle of the Taiwan Strait, the Chinese mainland fishing boats and even machine guns, grenades hit Taiwan’s largest warships, combat method is very simple. That is disguised as ordinary large vessels fishing close to Taiwan, then opened fire.

1974 Battle of China and South Vietnam, which is greater than surface ship tonnage of the Chinese navy’s patrol ship, the Chinese use the same hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenades at close range anti-ship and sank a large South Vietnam.

Naval special warfare tactics, is a typical North Korean has been advocating tactics.

To this end, North Korea, have developed a large number of semi-submersibles, diving boat. They have power, the crew for the two sea speed of about five, some are wooden, so anti-submarine sonar systems for their detection range is limited.

The semi-submersible vessels, diving boats and has been used to carry spy, special operations personnel to infiltrate the South.

KPA Reconnaissance Bureau also has a special maritime reconnaissance troops, the implementation of a similar vessel infiltration.

These vessels, usually except the driver, the only carry a crew, some can carry up to two crew members. Use of the night, a similar dive boats lurking in the South Korean navy patrol boats to go through channel on standby, or directly carrying special forces divers close to the South Korean patrol ship, then dive near the Korean way of surface warships, mines and paste directly to the draft South Korean patrol boats Timing is below the detonation.

Such tactics have appeared in World War II, Allied naval special forces, in the Spanish port, the German spy ship on the implementation of water Reb put under the waterline, eventually detonating sunk surface ships, combat is at night. South Korean navy ships PCC-722 is an explosion in the night.

Of course this is no 100% evidence that North Korea is to insist that it means their own internal problems. Human factors such as the detonation of a 76 mm or 40 mm guns and ammunition? Han Jun-house, very serious abuse of soldiers, Army soldiers had opened fire attack occurred, the last shotgun wound of the case.

However, many South Korean Defense Ministry later issued a statement in the investigation have repeatedly stressed: There is no internal weapons bays hull signs of an explosion, and no fighting took place the cabin, shooting signs. How to draw a conclusion after? Unknown.

This is not to cause an explosion on the Korean ships to be conclusive, but from reasoning on the idea, suppose a real fight, the North Korean navy is possible in front of the powerful South Korean Navy, using near-suicide attack tactics.

Asymmetrical warfare, and even sneaked into South Korea’s military port to underwater attack. “SELF-Warrior”, “General Bomb soldiers” in reference to the Korean People’s Army, no one I do not know.

The incident, the military observers also have to face asymmetrical warfare in modern naval warfare tactics. Especially the special forces may be internal enemy naval underwater infiltration, surface ships sunk, or directly implemented in the enemy’s harbor underwater mines. Operation is complete, you can completely hide, so as not to intensify the military conflict. Can slip Yijianshuangdiao.

South Korea itself is also Malaysia’s LIMA 2009 exhibition on the Navy launched the two small dive boat for special operations. A kind referred to VOGO SDV800, maximum diving depth of 60 meters, speed 10 knots.

Another dive boat called VOGO SDV340, length of only 8 meters, the maximum speed of 6 knots, operational depth of 40 meters. Research shows that Han Jun is also a similar method of asymmetric guerrilla war underwater.

U.S. Navy: cruise missiles and long-range naval reconnaissance system is the focus of China Navy’s development

May 17

Posted by admin in China, Observers | Comments off

May 10, Japan’s “Tokyo Shimbun”, entitled “Russian nuclear warships should enable the Chinese military expansion,” the article; the same day, Singapore’s “Straits Times,” the author pointed out that the development of China’s naval forces are gradually changing the military balance in Asia and the Pacific.

At the same time there are two basically the same argument about the Chinese navy’s report, which to some extent, the media reaction to go out to the development of China’s naval power concerns. So, what these reports have the background? The development of China’s naval forces just how “horrible”? China’s navy mess is it? This week, “Chen Hu Troops” with you to analyze the true intentions behind these reports.

In recent years, some foreign media hype frequent remarks of the Chinese Navy. Every move the Chinese navy, “Link” in the heart of many foreign media: “China is developing aircraft carrier, the continuous development of China’s submarine technology, the Chinese navy out of the ‘No. 1 island chain,’ China’s anti-ship missiles, technology continues to improve” and other phrases frequently appeared in press.

Based on the above conclusion is a substantial development of China’s naval forces, breaking the region’s military balance, and even the wider surrounding a threat to some countries.

This is the “China threat theory” old tune, but we need to see clear, through these reports, the intention behind the news.

Generally, we read the news will look at the title, and then look at the content. However, to more in-depth analysis just reading the title and the content is not enough to depend on its sources.

So, these two forces on the development of the Chinese navy news source what is it?

Japan’s “Tokyo Shimbun” published in Russia to re-enable large cruiser against China reports mentioned at the beginning: “newspaper from the Russian Pacific Fleet, a senior government official was informed by the … …” a brief review of the content, are also known as a “a Takamiya “argument.

The paper wrote: “The senior official said: ‘waters in the Far East in order to maintain a military balance with China, the most urgent task is to realize the ability of remote navigation, nuclear-powered attack submarine strong return’.”

Based on the reports we can not verify a “Russian Pacific Fleet officials.” “A high-House” who is? We come to check. Clearly, this is a vague source.

US-Russia nuclear talks dispute, ICBM train may well be revived

Dec 12

Posted by admin in Observers, Russia, U.S. Military | Comments off

US-Russia nuclear talks dispute, ICBM train may well be revivedThe United States and Russia, “the first phase of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty” in the early hours of December 5 failure, due to the time difference between Russia as early as eight hours in the United States bid farewell to the treaty. According to Russian News Agency reported December 9, although in some “technical issues” there are still differences between the two countries have expressed a new version of most provisions of the Treaty had been negotiated, is expected in mid-signature.

Remaining “technical issues” unresolved

The two presidents had earlier said it would work in the old treaty expired before the conclusion of the New Testament, but because of the differences too much, this goal did not materialize. But the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the two countries signed 18 years ago, the first phase of the treaty has been a very good performance for the second phase of the treaty has laid a solid foundation.

Russia to reduce the nuclear threat, first deputy director of the National Center accept the “Krasnaya Zvezda” the general said, in 1991, the United States has 2246 sets of vehicles, 10563 warheads, Russia (Soviet Union) party has 2288 sets of vehicles, and 8757 warheads; now, the United States, 1195 sets of vehicles and 5573 warheads, Russia has 811 sets of vehicles and 3906 warheads.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement said US-Russian nuclear arms control, the New Testament has been basically resolved, “most likely” in the middle of this month the signing of the Czech capital, Prague. U.S. State Department spokesman Kerry, also 9, said that the treaty will be signed during the year, at present only “technical issues” remained unresolved.

U.S. experts no longer “the number of missiles”

As for where there are differences, both sides have not explained. The two delegations in Geneva closed-door negotiations rarely heard the message. Analysis that the number of nuclear warheads removed, cut down to whether the destruction of warheads and other issues, the Russian-US strategic missile production to monitor the position of differences also may exist.

Russia’s “Independent Military Review” article said that, in accordance with the first phase of the treaty, the United States to send experts to Russia’s major strategic missile manufacturer – is located in Beijing Wudemuer plant monitoring, Moscow will be sent to the United States Utah missile production base in the state to fulfill the corresponding responsibilities. However, eight years ago, the United States stop production of strategic missiles, forcing Russia to withdraw its own domestic surveillance mission. In which Russia  plants continue to produce their own “Topol” series of missiles, the U.S. inspectors have been working there, so that Russia was very unfair.

December 5, the first phase of invalidity of a treaty, the United States had lost the Ombudsman to continue to plant right to work, they would immediately leave Russia. Russian media said the Americans finally stop in the Russian territory, “the number of missiles,” the. It is reported that the U.S. has no intention to retain the New Testament the terms of the presence of observers, to be replaced by other measures.

Mobile missile is still a focus of controversy

In accordance with Russian experts estimate that the restrictions on the mobile missile problem is also an important reason why the two countries have been unable to agree on. Under the first phase of the treaty, Russia gave up rides on special trains, the viability of very strong RT-23 rail-mobile strategic missiles. In the new treaty negotiation process, the U.S. called for further increasing the restrictions on the mobile missile, the Russian side of this to be rejected.

Taking into account the Kremlin at the just-released State of the Union in the emphasis on the status of land-based strategic missiles, the Russian news agency that this mainly refers to the equipment on the heavy-duty trucks on the “Topol” missile, Russia on this issue did not intend to continue to compromise. The article also believes that in the future deployment, Russia does not rule out re-enabled by way of a train carrying strategic missiles.

In the sea-based cruise missiles there are also differences between the two countries. In 1991, the U.S. missiles in which the number of the Soviet Union to maintain a 2:1 superiority, the Soviet Union want to limit their number, the two sides failed to Tan Long. In the new treaty, Russia is still hope that this matter of restrictions on high-precision cruise missile has a great reliance on the United States is certainly unwilling to accept such a clause.

If it is true, as the two sides said the new treaty to be signed, then the United States and Russia on nuclear arms control between the work can be said to be a smooth baton. As for the specific contents of the agreement, the global media were waiting.

America Journal said the F-10 lack of actual combat, JF-17 inconspicuous

Dec 11

Posted by admin in Observers | Comments off

F -10 fighterU.S. Jamestown Foundation, “China Briefing,” recently published an article signed by Richard. Bi Sheng Ge article, the article said, after the United States, Russia, France, Britain and other established major arms-exporting countries, China is now the world’s fifth largest arms exporting countries. In 2007, it signed an agreement on arms exports overseas, China came in fourth place, located in France, Germany and Spain before. Article summarized as follows:

All indications are that China as a major player in the international arms market are returning to the global stage. 80 years since the 20th century, China’s arms sales to Iran and Iraq, the Chinese foreign arms sales performance has been poor. In 2007, China signed an agreement on arms exports worth 38 billion U.S. dollars, a record 10 years of the highest sales of foreign arms sales. In recent years, the average amount of foreign arms sales to more than 2 billion U.S. dollars per year, far higher than the average of the last century, 90 years the amount of one billion U.S. dollars. Despite the growing amount of China’s foreign arms sales, but China should be a high degree of cruelty in this industry to keep their competitive edge, China will face a persistent challenge.

China’s main exports of weapons, including:

K-8 trainer aircraft: Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s database on foreign arms sales to show that China has been exported since 2000, nearly 250 K-8 light trainer / attack aircraft. Among them, the aircraft’s largest customer in Egypt, procured a total of 120, most of which in 2001-2008 years, its assembled in Egypt. Venezuela is negotiating with China sourcing 24 K-8.

J-7MG fighter: kind, the Chinese Air Force J-7E of the export-oriented. J-7E in itself to upgrade from a MiG fighter jets from -21. J-7MG a larger wing, the installation of British radar. Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s database on foreign arms sales to show that since the 20th century, since mid 90′s, China to Bangladesh, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Sri Lanka has sold more than 100 aircraft F-7MG-type machine.

JF-17 Thunder fighter: JF-17 also known as FC-1 fighter, is a lightweight multi-purpose combat aircraft, and the United States F-20 “Tiger Shark” fighters like. JF-17 is a joint development between China and Pakistan formed. China is also producing a number of fighters to equip its air force. It is estimated that Pakistan may buy up to 250 aircraft. JF-17 fighter jets sold to developing countries, primarily because these countries need to replace old MiG -21, -7 F, or F-5 fighter jets.

C-801/C-802 anti-ship cruise missiles: These missiles, also known as the Eagles -8 and the Eagles hit a missile hit -82, its combat power is equivalent to the French Exocet missiles. C-802 missiles are equipped with solid rocket boosters to increase the range. Ships, ground vehicles and aircraft can launch the anti-ship cruise missiles.

WZ-551 armored personnel carriers: While the Model is not a particularly high-tech weapons systems, but the Model is being sold all over the world, including Argentina, Kuwait, Nepal, Oman, Sri Lanka and other countries.

Unsound arms export ranking

At present, China in the global arms market is not ranking high on the solid, most of the weapons are exported to a small number of customers, particularly Pakistan. The amount of foreign arms sales to China in 2007 is very high mainly because China and Pakistan reached an agreement to sell a number of major equipment, such as the JF-17 fighter planes and Jiang Wei frigates. Thus, in the next few years, China’s ability to continue to maintain such a high arms exports are still not sure.

The supply of weapons systems in China, only a part of the advanced weapons (such as trainer, and anti-ship cruise missiles) in the global market are competitive, their customers are basically poor. In addition, China’s arms exports contain a considerable part of the light weapons and ancillary equipment such as trucks, uniforms and field equipment. Finally, many of China’s arms exports are still based on the watered-down “friendly price.”

Keep in mind, China’s arms exports as the world’s fifth, fourth, or third countries, the fact should not be exaggerated. In 2007, China delivered to developing countries, 1.2 billion U.S. dollars worth of weapons to the third highest in the world of arms-exporting countries, but is the first of the U.S. foreign military sales amounted to 7.6 billion in the second place of the Russian Army sales amounted to 4.6 billion, respectively, of China and nearly six times more than 4 times.

In addition, between 2000 and 2007, China’s foreign military sales in the global amount of 7.8 billion U.S. dollars, 92 billion U.S. dollars while the United States, Russia, 36.2 billion U.S. dollars, 34 billion in Britain, and even the amount of Germany’s foreign sales also exceeded the Chinese nearly 60%. Foreign military sales for a particular year does not guarantee a good position on arms exports to China have a bright future.

Analysis of large sales prospects

In order to maintain a leading position of arms export market, China needs to introduce more competitive weapons. JF-17 is likely to sell a large amount to some need to be at a lower cost to replace the MiG -21, or F-5 fighter country. According to reports, JF-17 is priced at between 1500-20000000 U.S. dollars, far more American-made F-16 fighter planes cheap.

China’s export prospects of a better category of weapons is a new F -10 fighter. Kind, and Israel’s “lion” type fighter similar to its combat force is equivalent to the U.S. F-16C model aircraft. F -10 to 80 development work began in the 20th century, the age at 3 to 4 years before mass production, and equip the Chinese Air Force. -10 Relative Chinese Air Force F-60′s and 70′s equipment, aircraft, its operational power has greatly improved, but there may not be as purchases from Russia Su-Su -27 or -30 fighter.

The outside world speculated that China may in the global arms market to sell J-10 fighter, kind, the price will be lower than the U.S. F-16 fighter jets, the Swedish “Gripen”, and other small aircraft. Pakistan and Iran will be the future of J-10 fighter jets customers. Other potential marketability equipment, including C-701 short-range anti-ship cruise missiles, FN-6 man-portable surface to air missile, KS-1A SAM.

Still, most Chinese weapons system’s combat force remain unclear. For example, J-10 fighter jets may be a good performance of the aircraft, but its performance and reliability can not be independently confirmed, many countries may not want to take such a risk. The JF-17 on its own is a fairly insignificant in terms of aircraft. Purchasing second-hand F-16 fighter aircraft may be a lower cost alternative to more fighting forces.

But do not forget that many countries will not necessarily buy the most expensive weapons systems. In selected cases, they are still willing to pay high prices to buy high-quality products. For example, when Pakistan’s decision to purchase new submarines, it choose the procurement Franco-German state, rather than China. Pakistan in the procurement of a Chinese warplane also procured from the U.S. F-16 fighter jets.

In the current conditions of global economic crisis, many potential buyers to be more serious than usual, consider China’s weapons, because they are in the next 20 to 30 years time, must be equipped with and use these weapons systems. To this end, these countries may be delayed until after the economic recovery of a substantial acquisition of weapons.

China has a large technological advantage, a weapon is a ballistic missile systems, such as Dongfeng -11 and B-611 short-range ballistic missiles. China has Dongfeng -11 (M-11) sold to Pakistan, Turkey also received B-611 missiles. As for the sales of a range of longer-range missile system, subject to restrictions on missile technology control group, while China is a member of the group.

Uncertain future

On potential customers, customer needs, and China can provide weapons, China’s strength is still quite limited. However, China will be increasingly in the global market launch of its weapons, in the process, it will be gains in overseas markets.

To be sure, the expansion of China’s arms exports will continue to be military-industrial complex is an important business strategy, but almost all the arms manufacturers in the world is also true. Taking into account the weapons production capability and economic pressure to keep the plant open and keep factory jobs, so that the country will actively carry out arms export business, therefore, China is unlikely to crowd out 1:00 into the United States and Europe’s largest suppliers of advanced weapons.

US mysterious appearance UAV, Accused of trying to sneak into the hidden nature of testing in China

Dec 9

Posted by admin in China, Observers, U.S. Military | Comments off

In Afghanistan's new UAV RQ-170Recently, a mysterious stealth UAV haunt near Kandahar in Afghanistan, has caused great concern to the military observers. The UAV a picture quickly spread network, the U.S. Air Force has finally come out statement acknowledged that the aircraft is that they, whose name is called “RQ-170″, in fact, this most suspicious stealth UAV is that: the Taliban did not need to deal with stealth aircraft, the Taliban almost no-to-air missiles, radar and, then, why should the Afghan deployment / testing of this mysterious stealth UAV? U.S. Global Station road network and the “Aviation Week” website were this to be resolved, and speculation: The reason why the U.S. Air Force deployed in Afghanistan this unmanned aerial vehicles, aimed at testing its leap over China when the stealth performance.

U.S. Global Strategic Network December 4, 2009 published, entitled “The Mysteries of UAV in Afghanistan has been shot to capture,” the article put forward his own point of view.

The article first said that last year in April, the second largest city in Afghanistan, the U.S. Air Force base near Kandahar, it was recognized here, there is a deployment of unknown type, propelled by a jet engine UAV. Today, there are already one about this UAVs photos. Some people speculated that this is a U.S. secret UAV project, which with France is similar to the design of the Neuron unmanned aerial vehicles, “neuron” is a 6-ton jet engine propelled combat and reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles, but the UAV is still in the research and development stage, the next two years are not expected to conduct its first flight.

The U.S. media said that within a few days, Afghanistan photographs of this mysterious unmanned aerial vehicles have been all over the Internet, the U.S. Air Force finally admitted that it is their UAVs, and said that it was not equipped with a weapon called “RQ-170 “The UAV, but the Air Force did not disclose further information, seemingly trying to keep it as long as possible part of the project confidential.

This was found in Kandahar, a flying wing UAV using pneumatic layout, similar to the U.S. Air Force and Navy R & D X-45 and X-47 UAV, both UCAV, Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles can be carrying weapons, which were exposed to this mystery UAVs may also be an ammunition compartment. U.S. Air Force’s X-45A unmanned combat aircraft in 2004, the first time launch smart bomb experiment. There are a number of secret surveillance purely as a test machine used in jet engines as the driving force of the UAV designs.

In fact, this UAV is the greatest suspicion: the Taliban do not need to deal with stealth aircraft, they do not have radar and on-air missile, then why should the Afghan deployment / testing of this mysterious stealth unmanned machines? Global strategic networks gives two possible explanations. First, you may want to test the combat environment, the fight against the enemy is hard to find when the performance of this UAV. The second reason may be testing the UAV in leap over China when the stealth performance (there is a border between China and the Afghan border), or to test a leap neighboring Iran and Afghanistan over the stealthy nature.

Global Strategic Network article also said that the United States for such UAVs flying for 6 years, similar to this design have been carried out UAV aerial refueling, formation flying, and in a simulated aircraft carrier deck landing Dengxiang experiment.

In addition, the United States, “Aviation Week” website published a December 4 written by David A. Fulghum related articles, article entitled “U.S. Air Force said the deployment of stealth UAV.”

The article first said that the secret has been published. U.S. Air Force has confirmed that “Kandahar of the Beast,” the existence of unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned plane was found at the end of 2007 flying in Afghanistan. This jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicle using tailless flying-wing aerodynamic layout, the upper surface of the wing on each side has a streamlined sensor module, which is RQ-170 Sentinel, by Lockheed – Martin Corporation a subsidiary of the famous Skunk plant research and development.

Articles pointed out, an Air Force officer on the afternoon of December 4, “Aviation Week,” revealed that they “are developing a stealthy unmanned aircraft system for the forward deployment of combat troops to provide reconnaissance and surveillance support.” U.S. Air Force said in a statement, RQ-170 UAV deployment and Defense Secretary Robert – Gates on “to increase combat commander of the intelligence, ISR support” requirement is consistent with, but also with the Army Chief of Staff Norton Schwartz on “increasing USAF reliance on unmanned aircraft, “point of view is consistent.

The article says, when the RQ-170 stealth UAV projects were in the secret state, which consists of Nevada, Tonopah Test Range, also known as Area 52, the 30th Reconnaissance Squadron flight, there is the F-117 stealth fighter-bombers of the “home” . Later, RQ-170 belong to the Air Combat Command, deployed to the Nevada Creech Air Force Base. In Afghanistan, Kandahar, RQ-170 to be seen from the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems hangar belongs in the fly.

RQ-170 stealth unmanned aerial vehicle named some resemblance with the F-117, and its name (RQ) is right, but behind the numbers (170) a bit out of order, which is to avoid some people a (secret) project to speculate whether the presence of. Technically, “RQ” indicates that this is the naming of a non-armed UAVs, rather than similar to “MQ” prefix of the name, MQ named for the prefix type of armed MQ-1 “Predator” and the MQ -9 “Death.” U.S. Air Force-related statement, the expression “as the front-line fighters deployed to provide support”, coupled with the moderate UAV Stealth (passivation edge design, simple, and wings on the nozzle and the sensor module), these indicate that RQ-170 “sentinel” is a tactic to front-line operational deployment of the platform, rather than a strategic intelligence collection (aircraft) design.

“Aviation Week,” the article also this mysterious surviving a few questions about UAVs. If it is a high-altitude aircraft, and its coating is not the usual color, but the body is a medium gray color, similar to “Predator” and “death” rather than dark gray or all black – a Tu installed in high-altitude flight is to provide the best concealment. From the appearance point of view, this aircraft has a wingspan of about 65 feet (19.81 meters), and MQ-9 “Death,” UAV is similar. With regard to this mystery that only a few pictures of the UAV can be used as a basis for judging these photos were shot from the left, it gives the impression that it is: a relatively deep center of plump body and the external opportunities and integration into the一起. In view of this low detectability of design, the UAV will be used to leap in his country’s borders, spy on China, India, Pakistan, to obtain valuable and telemetry of missile test-firing of the intelligence data.

U.S. Pacific Commander Willard said that China’s first aircraft carrier to deploy in 2015

Dec 9

Posted by admin in China, Observers | Comments off

China's first aircraft carrier5, according to the Indian Express reported that, although India’s “Gorshkov” aircraft carrier’s delivery date is still uncertain, but according to Robert Willard, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, said China may be the first carrier to deploy in 2015 .

US-India high degree of attention to China’s first aircraft carrier deployment time

Terms of reference covering China and the Indian Navy’s U.S. Pacific Command, said General Willard, said: “I think China is doing its utmost in 2015 to deploy an aircraft carrier.” He also said the high cost of maintaining an aircraft carrier and a complicated process and requires a lot of training. However, the Indian Express said India was that China’s first aircraft carrier as early as 2012 columns installed, but only one can only be used for training in “basic platform.”

Report says that India and the United States are discussing the “Malabar” series of bilateral exercises involving the two countries into the Navy, the Air Force and Navy commandos multi-service joint exercises related issues. In this regard, Willard said that although the United States and India’s military have “joint capacity,” but still need to practice, so the two air forces and commando exercises also need to join them.

Willard said: “The United States and India both want to increase the complexity of the Malabar exercise, in order to form more joint holding of the exercises. I mean is that the United States armed services to join the exercise – to join the Indian Air Force and Navy exercises ; As for us, is the U.S. Navy and the Air Force or Marine Corps to join the exercise. “Moreover, Willard also noted that the multi-service joint exercise in itself very complicated, so it is both an opportunity and a challenge.

US-Indian joint military exercises to be held in multi-service capabilities to improve collaboration

Willard said the Malabar coast in 2007, held in a multinational military exercise is the market “very effective training” and therefore should not repeat the five countries to carry out such activities, and bearing in mind India’s “sensitive” – that is, left-wing political parties in India protest against the military drill. He also noted that in the “Malabar -2,007″ exercise, the United States, India, Singapore, Japan and Australia, each of the participating States, learned of the “massive” joint operational experience, such joint action is complex and difficult. Over time, countries would substantially benefit.

Willard said: “At present, the dialogue held with the hosts in India, the most talked about is how to begin military exercises in the Malabar coast. If the Malabar coast in the Indian Ocean region plans to hold multi-national military exercise is a sensitive issue, then the We can also turn to other ways to improve the comprehensive nature of the military exercise, and put into practice. ”

As for the Asia-Pacific region in the trilateral India-US military relations, the possibility Willard said that such a possibility “is not yet mature”, even though New Delhi and Washington and Beijing established bilateral military ties. And asked China to build aircraft carrier, the Willard said Beijing had been “determined” to build aircraft carrier by 2015. However, in view of the construction of aircraft carrier is an “expensive and complicated” process, so is the need to “dedication and commitment”.

When asked about the long-term military relationship between India and Russia would prevent US-Indian military exchanges, Willard said it does not exist among the “invisible barrier”, because Russia and the United States and India are conducting an open dialogue. He said: “In fact, the United States is also working to improve relations with Russia, and we will work with them to establish an open relationship.”

Andrei Chang: China to steal the concept for fourth generation fighter – Inconsistent with “US-Russian Standard”

Nov 28

Posted by admin in Observers | Comments off

F-10Han Defense Review Web site has recently published an article that the Chinese air force will soon be head of the recent flight test on the four generations of aircraft attitude frightened Tokyo and Washington, Moscow aviation experts. Another claimed that Chinese military personnel in the four-generation machine, “within a year or two,” flight. The latest Chinese media quoted the official as saying the Air Force to correct claims that “four generations of machine” refers to the J10 improved. And claim that Russia is also the SU -35 known as the “four generations of machines.”

American four-generation machine, a Russian fifth generation machine to define the international community is to have a unified standard. Russia and the United States call a different. West, known as fourth generation machines, the Russian machine known as the Five Dynasties. Andrei Chang says there is no “Chinese characteristics, four generations of machines.” J10 is a fully-fledged third-generation machine (Russia called fourth generation machine) and then how to change it, but also a Russian four-generation machines, Europe and the United States-style three generations of machines, the future installation of AESA radar, it becomes a Russian 4 + generation aircraft (the United States Type 3 +), and then an additional thrust-vectoring nozzle for the J10, it becomes a Russian 4 + + generation machine (American 3 + + generation). This is a typical sub-standard international. Therefore, the Russian Air Force Su–35 is defined as 4 + + generation of machines, rather than the West called the four-generation machine, nor is it a Russian fifth generation aircraft. Andrei Chang that the Chinese Air Force in one concept.

Standards of a Russian fifth generation machine, the American four-generation machine that must use the composite materials with low to detect 30% or more, RCS can not be more than 0.0001 square meters, and Su-30MKK of the RCS is almost close to 4 square meters; Second, the equipment at least 14500-15000 kg thrust engine afterburner to achieve supersonic cruise, while installation of two-dimensional or a 360-degree thrust vectoring nozzles. Third, you must use multi-function phased array radar AESA. AESA radar and the aircraft used in large-scale early warning aircraft than the difficulty of AESA radar technology, much larger. AESA radars are capable of developing early warning aircraft, the countries including Sweden, France, Russia, but it comes with the AESA radar, fighter aircraft, these countries still in the final sprint stage, the Swedish Gripen fighter AESA radar for use by the Italian development because the biggest fighter aircraft with AESA radar, the difficulties is the ultra-small size, diameter not exceeding 800 mm, must focus on more than 1000 T / R module, how cool is the largest technical difficulties.

At present, only China, Russia and the U.S. development of four generations of machines (Russia called the Five Dynasties machine) As in Europe, completely abandoned the development of four-generation fighter program, which trend is clearly directly to the fifth-generation (Russia called sixth generation) unmanned attack aircraft direct forward direction.

Andrei Chang that the Chinese Air Force from the current 13.2 thousand kilograms of WS10A type of engine afterburner thrust technical indicators to determine, even with a gradual improvement of methods to achieve 14500-15000 kg thrust afterburner standards, at least two phases of improvement , its time to complete even if another 10 years, is already above the international rate.

The article, Andrei Chang claimed that if the four-generation Chinese machine (Russia called the Five Dynasties machine) predictions are experiencing a major mistake, then, once China’s fourth generation machine (Russia called the Five Dynasties machine) within the first flight in eight years, and the Chinese version of four-generation machine (Russia called the Five Dynasties machine) must meet internationally recognized standards for each one, the Han Chinese Defense Review was formally closed.
