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.

Great progress in China’s air force is still far behind the United States

Nov 10

F 22A 300x214 Great progress in Chinas air force is still far behind the United StatesThe Associated Press reported that on the 5th, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of founding of the Chinese Air Force planning and preparation, air show, the public display of its ability to raise a series of technical upgrades. Period, the Air Force will also use the old MiG fighter planes to replace the hundreds of advanced fighters to carry out parachute performance. Now, however, the PLA air force is still far behind its main rival the United States, only 20 percent of its aircraft to reach the level of Western troops.

Reported that the University of California San Diego School of International Conflict and Collaboration Research Center, Senior Fellow, Chang Tai-ming (phonetic), Professor said that at present only 20% of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force fighter planes to reach the level of Western troops, and this ratio is twice as much as five years ago . Professor Zhang went on to say, although the People’s Liberation Army Air Force after two decades may be in the region of dominant position, but “on the hardware side, the Chinese Air Force has made tremendous progress, but there is still a long way to go.”

As the original focus on land-based, defensive capability, the PLA’s capability for long-range projection pursuit, the Air Force and the Navy to become China’s huge military’s primary beneficiaries. Tanker, AWACS and other support aircraft, the Air Force to develop an advanced Russian-made Sukhoi fighter jets and Chinese-made F -10 range and effectiveness.

However, the report said, although the Air Force has more than 60 million troops and about 2000 aircraft, rated as Asia’s largest air force, but still falls far short of the U.S. Air Force – At present, the Air Force has more than 5500 aircraft, as well as 327.5 thousand active duty. In fact, the Chinese Air Force focused primarily on improving the ability to defend the Air Force such as the Chinese border, to prevent Taiwan formally declares independence, recovery of China’s claims of sovereignty over the islands and other mission-critical.

Reported that, in terms of quality point of view, or from the quantitative point of view, the Chinese Air Force far exceeds that of Taiwan. Moreover, its deployed opposite Taiwan, in 1300, long-range missiles capable of Taiwan’s airport and air defense devastating blow. However, in the formulation to cope with any outbreak of conflict in the Taiwan Strait area, they all must be taken into account the possibility of U.S. intervention, after all, the U.S. promised to protect Taiwan’s security in the region. When faced with this situation, the Chinese Air Force is likely to fail.

At present, the Chinese Air Force faces major problems is the lack of combat experience and training and tactics become increasingly obsolete. Air combat is the last to participate in the Vietnam War in 1979, but only played a largely symbolic role. In addition, the Air Force and the lack of coordination between the army and navy, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities are limited, and in recruiting and training pilots is also a problem in continuous.

Reported that the Chinese air force plane is not enough current in combat or humanitarian relief operations in the air for a large number of equipment and relief supplies, and a recent military exercise in the national delivery of the participating units are also responsible for business jets. It is noteworthy that the lack of air power has hampered the Chinese government’s humanitarian relief operations to play a greater role in the achievement of the objectives. For example, although in last year’s earthquake in Sichuan, China’s extensive participation of the Air Force rescue operations, but bad weather had forced them to the eventual elimination of an airdrop relief personnel and supplies several attempts.

Reported that the PLA Air Force faced another thorny issue is flight safety. People’s Liberation Army Air Force in recent years, the occurrence of a series of flights has made several senior Air Force officer was fired, but the Chinese side to these catastrophic events of confidentiality make it difficult to see the whole picture.

Reported that the ceremony held in the week, including the Air Force F -7 F -10 fighter aircraft and new air show appearances, as well as men and women carried out using a helicopter, parachute jump performance. This is the People’s Liberation Army this year the organization of the most large-scale exhibition, the PLA was only recently organized a parade, and there are hundreds of international maritime tanks and armored vehicles appeared in the National Day parade.

Although Beijing claims that these incidents represent only intended to enhance our national pride, and enhance the armed forces, self-confidence, but still within the rise of China’s military expansion abroad, the ultimate intentions of concern. In this regard, the Central Military Commission, member of the Air Force commander of the Xu-liang said that these activities have highlighted China’s “comprehensive national strength” and stressed that the Chinese have the “Air Force modernization of solid material and technical base.”

PC-7 in early mid-level trainerSouth African Air Force, the famous “Silver Falcon” aerobatic team pilot Colonel Gerhard Delaolunsi last week driving a “Pilatus PC-7″ fighter Lange Bang Ludwig city to conduct high-altitude Air Force Base, a few kilometers Flight performance drills, sitting at his side there is no flying experience, a friend actually inadvertently activated its “Emergency ejection seat” button, the passenger is like 007 films in the “Rocket Man” in general, from the high-speed flying aircraft Lianren Dai chair was “shot” out of the cabin, rushed to the aircraft altitude above 100 meters!

Although the man had not received any professional training, but fortunately that the passengers to open the reserve parachute in time, so he finally able to land safely, unharmed. It is reported that South African Air Force is investigating this rare incident investigation.

Experience stunt plane with a friend

2, according to British media reports, the horrific accident occurred 80 miles north of Cape Town, South Africa, the Lange Bang Ludwig City Air Force Base.

October 28, founded in 1968, the South African Air Force, the famous “Silver Falcon” aerobatic team at the base daily exercise training, well-trained pilots, Colonel Gerhard Delaolunsi driving a “Pilatus PC-7 type “stunt plane, is several thousand meters altitude at an alarming rate of high-speed flight, from time to time to make spiral, flip and dive and other difficult moves.

It is reported that the plane was apart from the pilot, Colonel Lawrence, there is one of his friends.

According to reports, the passenger non-military personnel, he had no flying experience, but after obtaining special permission from the military boarded the plane, stunt planes, the media did not disclose their names. Obviously, Colonel Lawrence wanted to let his good friend a good experience the special flight “stimulate feelings.”

“Rocket Man” thin air out of the cabin

But let Colonel Lawrence absolutely did not foresee was, this friend has experienced a more “stimulating” experience – he had like 007 films in the “Rocket Man” are generally “shot” out of a high-speed flying aircraft.

According to reports, when the aircraft during the flight of dazzling special effects, a continuous burst of air to roll later, the passengers feel the waves of dizziness, body rushed into the front seat. In order to maintain the stability of their own body, his hands unconsciously grasped his legs between a lever to try to maintain a balance. Unexpectedly, it was the ejection device joystick.

So that the passenger never dreamed that he inadvertently pressed the joystick on the “emergency escape ejection seat” button. Blink of an eye, his ejection seat sat two seats under the “emergency rockets” had been fired ignition, while the passenger Lianren Dai chair pop-up wind glass, such as artillery shells were fired in the same cabin!

Moment “sky” 100 m

According to Colonel Lawrence recalled that when he’s not the name of a friend and even issued a cry for help in time, they had “wind,” to soon as disappeared in the blue sky.

It stunned that, according to experts, when the cabin passengers were shot when the moment, the acceleration imposed on him as high as 20G (that is 20 times the acceleration of gravity), almost equivalent to an astronaut in the rocket launch can bear the greatest impact.

It was under this enormous impact, the passengers rushed to the aircraft between the blink of an eye above the 100-meter height, and then began to like the same scale mound slammed into the ground!

Automatic parachute survived

Since the passenger has not received any flight training, so he followed in the event of the sudden turn of events almost stunned the past. But fortunately, his body automatically open the reserve parachute in a timely manner, so that he finally safe to return to the ground intact.

South African Air Force helicopters in the vicinity of the airport langebaanweg to find the man. Subsequently, the Air Force, he was immediately sent to the nearest hospital for treatment.

Although the number of passengers from plunging to the ground altitude of 1000 meters, but there are parachutes of protection, he actually has not suffered any injury. At the same time, despite the pilot, Colonel Lawrence was shocked by this accident, but in the end he still managed to calmly and safely landed the aircraft at the air base.

No injuries count themselves very lucky

It is reported that the man touched the joystick is “Pilatus PC-7 type” aircraft standard for pilots and passengers, an emergency escape.

Flying experts said that passengers were being “shot” out of the plane and actually still intact rated as very lucky survivor. One expert said: “He is too lucky, had not suffered any injury. Normally you have to accept a special after special training in order to safe to use ‘emergency escape seat’ planes shot himself.”

A retired Air Force flight instructor, said the man was probably wearing a flight suit, wearing a helmet. To eject from his plane to withstand the acceleration could be equivalent to 20 times the acceleration due to gravity, it would be lucky unhurt.

“Just pull the ejection lever 2.5 cm, and you’ll pop machine outside. You will feel a push back vigorously to bear,” the instructor said, “then the pilot seat automatically separated from the parachute to open. This is the for pilots during the ejection can not on their own (operational) and design. ”

In view of the ejection danger, even professional pilots also need to receive training. If you do not comprehend action essentials, ejection wrong posture might seriously damage or spinal cord, causing more serious consequences.

Military investigators a rare accident

It is reported that South African Air Force has begun a full investigation of this bizarre incident. British “Daily Telegraph” 2 quoted the words of the South African Air Force, a spokesman for the reports: “The incident is still under investigation.

Of that aircraft accidents, “Pilatus PC-7″ fighters have also been temporarily grounded by the hand of their checks to rule out any possible security risk.

It is reported that usually, South Africa, the military does not allow non-military civilian personnel boarded the special aircraft, Colonel Lawrence is not clear why the civilians will be licensed boarding friends.
