Dec 8

Posted by admin in China, Weapons | No Comments

China's next generation tank requires only two operatorsBeijing December 7: “China’s next generation of tanks will be streamlined to two crew, with full-dimensional protection to combat and all-round capabilities.” MAO Ming China North Vehicle Research Institute, recently told “tanks and armored vehicles” magazine reporter, said.

MAO Ming said that China is currently the most advanced tanks are equipped with Type 99 main battle tanks, the crew of 3 individuals. The original tank crew of 4 individuals, are now streamlined for the bomb in hand. He believes that the next generation of tanks will also simplify a crew, two crew communication interface will be very friendly, sat side by side, one person to fight, one person is responsible for driving.

The next generation of tanks will strengthen the information capabilities

MAO Ming said that the next generation of tanks, the most important change is to strengthen the information capabilities, tanks, target discovery capability is integrated into a command against the network, many of the command system and sensors are real-time transmission of information will be useful to come. Tank fire performance will be further expanded, in addition to Zhimiao shooting, firing artillery missiles, also has the ability to inter-Aiming shot, not only can play well, playing the past, but also anti-aircraft capabilities. In general is to achieve integration between Zhimiao with a full-dimensional attack capability. Protection should also be comprehensive, not only for the protective shells, but also should have information on the electromagnetic protection.

MAO Ming pointed out that in terms of weight, the next generation of tanks should be lightweight, capable of rapid deployment to a combat zone, with good strategic mobility. Chassis mobile system should be a common chassis, the load can be changed, is modular. In urban combat, fighting in the wild, fighting in the South or the North has a corresponding component or load.

MAO Ming said that the fifth generation of tanks may be only one occupant, to the sixth generation of tanks, the crew may not be needed, and have turned into their own with a certain intelligence to combat steel soldiers.

The next generation of armored equipment consists of four main system

Tanks and armored vehicle design, as experts in the field, MAO Ming said that in future battlefield, no matter what kind of combat troops, will have to include four systems, one is the command system, which is a modular thing, land and air days each Arms will be sharing a command structure; second detection system, each node into the network and also has modular characteristics; third assault systems, is responsible for destroying the enemy, including the ground assault, and field air defense and fire suppression, etc.; the last 1 is a comprehensive security system, including the oil supply for the bombs, personnel, medical, logistics and maintenance and so on.

MAO Ming said the security system should be a separate part of the unit, so as to raise the army’s combat effectiveness. Therefore, the system is also a Chinese military develop a new type of armored equipment in one direction.

Pakistan: prevent terrorists and U.S. forces near the nuclear weapons depot

Nov 25

Posted by admin in Asia, Pakistan, Weapons | No Comments

Although the internal security situation is not optimistic, but the Pakistani government and military does not allow the United States intervene in the security of their nuclear arsenals that – terrorists still can not move nuclear weapons.

At present, Pakistan’s internal security situation is not optimistic about the terrorist attacks on the government’s strong straight body. From mid-October, the Pakistan Army has launched a strong military strike.

According to the latest issue of “New Yorker” magazine reported that Pakistan is highly sensitive in consultations with the United States the agreement, the agreement will allow U.S. Special personnel in crisis situations to provide for the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.

However, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry quickly issued a statement denying the report. The statement stressed that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons is “very safe”, “do not need any foreign help.”

United States: fear of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists

November 10, Reuters reported, although Pakistan has repeatedly said the United States to protect its nuclear weapons and nuclear facilities, the ability to have confidence, but the increase in terrorist violence, ordered the security of nuclear weapons and facilities, be questioned. Moreover, Al-Jazeera in Qatar after play “base” leader Mustafa Abu Ye Yazid’s interview program, Yazid said: “… … (Pakistan) nuclear weapons do not fall into American hands. Jihad will use them against Americans. ”

This makes the U.S. more worried about the safety of Pakistani nuclear arsenal. Petraeus, commander of U.S. Central Theater put it bluntly: “I suspect that the Pakistani military nuclear facilities, the ability to defend itself.” Consequently, the U.S. calls for Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal to conduct supervision and inspection.

“Los Angeles Times” that the current nuclear arsenal to defend Pakistan by the Pakistani military’s Strategic Planning Bureau, Khalid Kidwai, General Secretary Pakistan nuclear tests since 1998, has served as the bureau after leadership. Although the Kidwai deeply the United States trust, but it is undeniable that it is in Kidwai is also under the supervision of Pakistan, “the father of nuclear weapons,” Abdul Qadeer Khan organized a large network of nuclear material smuggling. At the same time by the global financial crisis, Palestinian officials have made clear to the United States, the safety of its nuclear program faces the risk of inadequate management of the budget.

According to “The New York Times” reported that, in fact, to defend the United States has a top-secret plans Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. The scheme began six years ago, that is, “9.11″ incident took place shortly after the visit by former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to Pakistan officially finalized. The United States on the project has invested a total of 100 million U.S. dollars.

The top-secret details of the scheme include: the United States training for Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal of the security personnel; helping Pakistan build a nuclear arsenal, security training center; to help Pakistan to ensure nuclear materials, nuclear warheads and laboratory safety; to Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal security agencies to provide helicopters, night vision devices, detection systems and nuclear materials detectors and other equipment with equipment.

The second phase of top-secret program to Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, including the security forces to provide more security systems, helicopters and security facilities. However, informed sources, the United States refused to allow Pakistan to share its nuclear security of the “crown pearl” technology. In layman’s terms the technology is a launch switch. It requires a series of nuclear weapons, the user must enter the number of password, and then launch nuclear weapons, and eventually detonated. If you enter an incorrect password several times successively, then the bomb damaged a number of switches automatically. U.S. research and development of this technology’s fundamental purpose is to prevent nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists or the enemy.

Pakistan: to prevent the United States close to nuclear weapons is the bottom line

In fact, the Pakistani government and military and the U.S. as a “generous” aid doubts. Many military officials believe that the U.S. would take this opportunity to gather accurate intelligence Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, if there is a chance, it would completely control Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. Pakistan’s nuclear experts doubt even if Pakistan’s nuclear warheads the United States where the technology is installed, then the Americans will be able to let the arbitrary failure of Pakistan’s nuclear warheads.

Pakistan’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hassan al-Majid on the 10th of this month, said: “We will not in conjunction with any foreign person, entity or country to share our highly classified nuclear weapons information, and it will never allow them to access such information. Pakistan has the ability to protect their nuclear arsenals safety. “He also said that the United States know the information is only his own conjecture.

Since the 1998 nuclear tests, Pakistan has established a strong command and control systems to ensure the safety of nuclear power. The locations of nuclear weapons, Pakistani Foreign Ministry official said with a smile: “If the Americans can not find a satellite location of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, in the mountains, how will those who know about it?”

Pakistani officials also revealed that, as a nuclear state, Pakistan has been fulfilling the duties. In accordance with the provisions of Pakistan’s armed forces has a set of operational use of nuclear weapons control procedures, non-to a single department or officials can decide. In February 2002, Pakistan’s nuclear command and control specialist has established mechanisms, including national command structure, strategic planning offices and strategic forces. The official stressed that such anti-error mechanism is very effective. In addition, the Pakistani army against the nuclear arsenals to take a very strict security measures. Without special permission, the general staff is difficult to close its nuclear arsenal.

According to foreign media reports, over the years, Pakistan to ensure the safety of nuclear weapons, but also used parts scattered distribution approach. For example, the fissile core of nuclear weapons kept separate from non-nuclear explosive devices, nuclear warheads separated from delivery vehicles and deployment. In this way, even if the individual parts “misfortune” is difficult to cause adverse effects.

According to “Pakistan’s Defense” website reported that Pakistan Air Force’s nuclear strike force is normally distributed configuration. For example, nuclear weapons and loaded planes F-16 fighter jets and Mirage 2000-5 aircraft is kept separately. In the conventional forces during the war, Pakistan, nuclear weapons components from the rear base for the forward delivery, and assembly.

Pakistan, the United States such intent very seriously, because nuclear weapons are a powerful symbol of Palestinian state. Both worried that the U.S. found that the nuclear target and to carry out surgical bombing, but also worried that the U.S. special forces forcibly took over after finding the target, but also worried that the U.S. send technical personnel “co-control”, spying on Pakistan’s nuclear secrets. In short, almost any pretext to prevent the U.S. nuclear arsenal is the Pakistani government’s bottom line.

The pistol of the murderer used in the U.S. military camp shooting

Nov 13

Posted by admin in Military Sources, Weapons | No Comments

FN57 The pistol of the murderer used in the U.S. military camp shootingFort Hood, shooting case, hasan major with two pistols, fired more than 100 rounds of ammunition, killing 13 people and wounding 30 people. He is one of two pistols revolvers (caliber and model unknown), the other is FN57. As Army major, Hassan sure that our basic firearms training, performance and use of handguns are more familiar with. He also explains the choice of pistols this point. Revolvers can be loading six-fat, good reliability, not afraid of blind fire, but re-loading slowly, with a range close to accuracy is also poor, for better self-defense at close range. FN57 are automatic pistol, is not that it can be repeating, but can be continuously pulled the trigger firing, without the need to re-pull bolt between each firing. The structure easier to withstand large revolvers recoil, so it can launch large powerful ammunition. Hassan did not know how much the caliber of the revolver was estimated to be .38, .40, .45 between a, it may be like Magnum to strengthen the power of bullets. But the revolver should not be a major weapon the assailant Hassan, the amount of capacity is too small bombs, firing more than 100 issued to loading almost 20 times, each time the total have to have tens of seconds to 1 minute? Estimated Hassan’s main weapon is FN57, revolvers only be used for magazines in the FN57 time to be defensive if someone rushed into use. Hassan would like to quite in thoughtful.

This is the Belgian FN product, FN for the Fabrique Nationale, the national arsenal meaning. This is the world’s leading manufacturers of light weapons is one of Germany’s reputation never less than HK, the United States Colt. FN HP during World War II is the first large-scale production of automatic pistols, in both the Allied and German widely used, the national army is also widely used, since the National Army FN HP manufactured in Canada, so the national army FN HP has also become “Canada pistol.” After the war, FN FAL as NATO standard rifle standards, in the NATO countries, Israel, India and other countries widely used, FN MAG, FN Minimi Western countries and is still the standard general-purpose machine guns and light machine guns. In the 90’s, FN break the routine, developed a new 5.7-mm rounds, and on this basis, research and development of the P90 submachine gun and FN57 pistol, once again the world leader in the field of light weapons, the trend. P90 to break the traditional projectiles themselves – magazine structure, but the level of the magazine placed on the top gun in the breech loaded into the firing chamber when the rollover position. This structure is very compact, so that the world’s lightest P90 submachine gun, one small. FN57 is not as revolutionary in structure, but the engineering plastics frame and the reliability of the traditional FN make FN57 name of the gun has the potential to become a generation, the most important thing is, FN57 with the Western world’s largest magazine capacity, one can-loading as many as 20 rounds, while the usual 9 mm pistols can be loading 15-fa, the U.S. fans reluctant to part of the 11 mm gun M1911 Colt pistol and only 7 made capacity.

      Bullets pass through the human body to achieve the anti-kinetic effect. Is proportional to kinetic energy and quality, but also with the speed proportional to the square. Traditional handgun cartridges are low-speed round shells, round head bolt recoil is conducive to auto-body-type smooth-loading, low speed so that recoil under control. Round also made it invades the human body resistance to increase and strengthen the role of resident only to avoid the high-speed bullet ripped through in order to reduce anti-personnel effect. Traditional handgun cartridges improve the quality by increasing kinetic energy warhead, so under the same conditions, 11-mm rounds of mass destruction than 9 mm, which is the U.S. 11 mm gun obsession with the main reason for fans. 5.7 millimeters a bullet from the traditional, adoption and rifle bullets, pointed the same high-speed projectile. High-speed conducive to increasing the kinetic energy of bullets, slender pointed shells invades the human body at high speed, easy to instability, resulting in rolling, the kinetic energy into a killing capacity. High-speed bullet pointed through the protective layer is also beneficial to enhance the capacity of the growing popularity of armor in the man today, it has a special significance. Caliber of the bullets was reduced, quality, reduced recoil is still under effective control, but the rate of increase to increase the kinetic energy into the relationship between the square of the larger increase in lethality. Small-caliber bullets, light weight, small size, easy to increase the magazine capacity, these advantages it is self-evident.

However, for small-caliber pistol circles practical effects of high-velocity bullets there is a big controversy, the focus is the small-caliber high-velocity bullets hit the body, the roll is formed in order to be able to effectively deliver kinetic energy to the body, rather than through the formation of lethal low injury. A similar controversy also exists in the rifle kingdom, and the U.S. M4 (M16 short tube type, are a large number of replacement M16) is also a major controversy here. But easily forgotten is the role of small-caliber bullets actually roll into the deposit rate was significantly higher when the speed dropped to a certain extent, the inertia will not be sufficient to form a roll, in fact easier to form a penetrating injury. This is precisely the issue on the battlefield in Afghanistan, U.S. soldiers with a short tube M4 shooting distance of the Taliban, due to a range of 5.56 mm ammunition in the far more on the spin-down, hit the formation of penetrating injury, resulting in the Taliban was shot will still be able to fight the problem. However, pistols and assault rifles at close range, this problem is not significant, Hassan shooting is proof of the effectiveness of handgun cartridges 5.7 millimeters.

      China also has its own small-caliber handgun cartridges 5.8 millimeters, which is 5.8 millimeters rifle shells, and another completely different bullets, but warheads in diameter and 5.8 mm rifles, shells just the same. China’s 03-style assault rifles to use 5.8 millimeters handgun cartridges, the 60th anniversary of National Day military parade in the hands of a special forces weapon. 5.8 millimeters 92-type pistol equipped units also have some time, but at the same time equipped with 9 mm 92-style pistol seems to be more shows that the Chinese team the power of small-caliber handgun cartridges have scruples. As a military pistol, standard pistol should be 5.8 millimeters. Senior officers and junior officers with much the same with the no-caliber pistol, but is absurd, and junior officers with pistols and assault rifles of different caliber bullets with a more absurd. The role of the pistol on the battlefield has always been controversial, but since dispensed, and must play their role. The battlefield, where more than five rounds of ammunition magazines may be able to decide life and death, in the small-caliber handgun cartridges when the power of proven, there is no reason not to lower-ranking officers also dispensed 5.8 millimeters pistol.

Southeast Asian countries might follow Pakistan to buy F-10 from China

Nov 11

Posted by admin in China, Observers, Weapons | No Comments

Visit F-10 fighter planesPakistan Air Force Chief of Staff of Sulaiman a recent interview with the media revealed that China has promised to sell F -10 fighter jets to Pakistan, has now entered the bargaining stage, will soon come to fruition. At the same time, many Southeast Asian countries have also demonstrated a J -10 interest, hoping to examine the performance of the decision was made after the introduction.

Suleiman praised the performance of the J–10 that it was the best performance among the three generations of machines, but with the Taihang engine, turned out to J -10’s exports will no longer be controlled by Russia, which also makes Pakistan Government has decided to purchase 36 F -10 fighter.

The only problem is that China and Pakistan is reached at a meeting prior to an oral agreement, the Chinese Government has agreed only to provide Pakistan with F -10 fighter, the transaction completion date is only a matter of time will soon come to fruition. Pakistani Embassy officials said the sale of the initiative in the hands of the Chinese side, if China has also sold to other countries, J -10, it is not Pakistan can only control.

Of course, China’s export destination J -10 is not confined to Pakistan. To participate in the Chinese Air Force 60th anniversary celebration of the Southeast Asian countries, representatives from the military in close contact with this China’s most advanced light fighter plane and then, have expressed their views on the J–10.

Philippine Air Forces Command commander Lieutenant General Oscar said he hoped the Chinese air force weapons and to help countries in the region used in international assistance, humanitarian and use of space, on which J -10 exports will help enhance the Air Force strength of neighboring Asian countries. Myanmar Air Force Commander Lieutenant-General also said that right to enjoy wonderful J -10 are interested in, but it must look at their specific performance and affordability of Myanmar further consideration.

In fact, the recent strength of the Philippine Air Force has hovered at a very low level, in 1997, South Korea donated to the Philippine Air Force 5 F-5A jet fighter. This aircraft represents the Philippines, 5 the only air defense capability. Although the Philippine military’s weapons and equipment has always been dominated by US-made, but the former Philippine Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Figure Tarantino once said: “We have aircraft to openly engage in competitive bidding for the arms purchase is a long complex process, requires all parties to the audit, so We can not be seen as the delegation’s visit is to buy Chinese aircraft. Of course, using Chinese-made fighter was not impossible. “However, in view of the South China Sea between China and the Philippines on the issue of barriers to the Philippines operational F -10 sex is not strong.

On the contrary, Myanmar has always been strong buyers of Chinese weapons, strong, and -5 F -7’s performance highly praised by the Myanmar side. Therefore, Myanmar would like to be more powerful F -10 to stabilize the situation and asked China to build support for the local system operators to maintain the “base”, these bases not only for Myanmar’s military to provide a range of weapons components system services, but also to covers the part of personnel provided arms training.

China’s export interest to move to -10 F, the Indian military appears to have been affected, was invited to visit China, commander of the Indian Air Force refused to express any opinion on this. There are comments that the F -10 exported to Pakistan will change the military situation in South Asia, China would also have constrained the strategic ambitions of India’s intentions. India’s military strength has always been a strong rule the roost in South Asia, India and Pakistan, weapons and equipment, very wrong and so on, as an advanced light fighter F -10 fighter just be able to match the West, greatly enhancing Pakistan’s strength, increased its chips to compete in India.

Russian Ministry of Defense admitted: Russia has been unable to produce new weapons – To be imported from abroad

Nov 1

Posted by admin in Observers, Weapons | No Comments

Medvedev test Sniper Rifle“The attractiveness of Russian weapons are disappearing”, which is Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has visited the suburbs of Moscow, when a military-industrial warning. In recent years, although the incessant bad-mouthing the Russian military industry have hit the newspapers, but the leader of the Russian state under the harsh words, or first time a.

The “number one fan of the military” pro-test missile

According to Russian newspaper “Komsomolskaya Pravda” reported October 27, 26, Dmitry Medvedev arrived in Moscow suburbs, “a joint machine-building scientific production company” inspection tour. The company is Russia, one of a large aerospace manufacturer, mainly producing various types of missiles, rockets and space systems, and to engage in relevant research.

Like his predecessor Putin, Medvedev is also a “military fanatic.” This year in March, he visited Kubinka air force base, there was a driving Su -34 fighter planes flying sky for half an hour. This time is no exception, during a visit to mobile coastal defense missile system “bastion,” he contain himself, riding on a race on the operator position. The experts said the side, “Bastion” anti-ship missiles, from installation to enter a state of war only a few minutes, capable of destroying targets within 290 kilometers.

“Arrow” type 2 rocket also Mayer left a deep impression. It had ballistic missiles, the latter to launch civilian satellites. In addition, the company also demonstrated Russia and India, “Brahmos” joint the company’s latest products.

When the tour ended, Medvedev received an unexpected gift – well-made, “onyx” (also known as “Gem”), cruise missiles, titanium models.

Cheng Jun is only one enterprise by the international quality certification

While visitors can see the process are “bright side”, but this in no way diminish the status of Medvedev, Russia’s military-industrial concerns. In the subsequent meeting of the defense industry complex development problems the meeting, his expression solemn respect, although in recent years invested heavily in Russia for the modernization of military systems, but with little success. The reason is because the military system, just be satisfied with “fill holes”, the lack of forward-looking technology innovation, “big waste of money in those old-fashioned and equipment.”

Mr Medvedev warned that the Russian-made weapons and frequent quality problems, their appeal to foreign customers is disappearing, “This is not only detrimental to the reputation of Russian weapons, but also detrimental to Russia’s national reputation.” In his view, to maintain the competitiveness of Russian industry is necessary to reduce production costs, delivery of weapons and military equipment shall be in accordance with “wholesale” rather than “retail price.” Meeting was attended by Russia’s Industry Minister Viktor Khristenko also pointed out that only 10% of Russian industrial enterprises to obtain international quality certification, because of quality problems, “foreign military cooperation in the claims cases are growing.”

Medvedev believes that the quality of equipment will directly determine the pros and cons of future wars. He pointed out that in another two months, the Russian strategic restructuring plan will be completed, the next task facing the army and navy will be the replacement of weapons and equipment. At this stage, the major responsibilities of military systems. “If the weapon performance lagged behind other countries, once the outbreak of military conflict, then a wise strategy and tactics can not save the lives of officers and men.”

Medvedev “worried” has deep-seated reasons

Why is the military status quo in Russia Russian president so “worried”? Analysts believe that this one has a deep background.

First of all, quality compliance, delivery delay and other reasons, once the large foreign exchange earnings of the Russian industry in the world arms market share in recent years, dropped sharply. According to the U.S. Congressional Research Service released in September, “the transfer of conventional arms to developing countries” report, in 2008 the Russian arms sales is only 3.5 billion, compared with 2007, 10.8 billion lower than that. Delivered to the Algerian MiG -29 fighters, because the quality of reason will be returned; conventional arms sales to partners in India’s Russian-made weapons are also made veiled criticisms of the generals to buy “olive branch” Europe and the United States more and more stretch.

Second, the military has significantly delayed the development of military reform, hind legs dragging on the Russian military combat are seriously compromised. New “Bulava” sea-based ballistic missile Repeated failures, lead to “Borei” class submarines can not carry bombs “naked again.” In response, the Russian military of course, the views of a belly.

Sources have told “Kommersant,” said Mayer by the end of September in the Kaliningrad Oblast and Brest to watch “The West -2009″ joint military exercises, the Defense Department representatives and the Chief of General Staff Makarov on the face ” on the table “, complaining that military industrial enterprises unable to produce new types of weapons, leading to the military have to consider purchasing equipment from abroad.
