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.”

India to buy British-made large aircraft carriers will become the world’s second

Nov 21

Posted by admin in Asia, International News | No Comments

British Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier model18th of this month, the Indian aircraft carrier “virrat” was held a service commemorating the 50th anniversary of the ceremony. However, the Indian Navy’s fleet of “virrat” aircraft has been seriously aging, India built its own aircraft carrier still faces many technical difficulties and short-term difficult to serve in a converted aircraft carrier from Russia dragging its feet. In this case, India plans to invest two billion pounds to buy the British-built super-aircraft carriers, while reducing the financial pressure on the British Ministry of Defense. India can not buy the carrier? After the purchase of this aircraft carrier, to the Indian Navy would be what kind of impact?

India to buy aircraft carrier used to confront China threat?

16, issued a report in India Daily: India sees opportunities in the United Kingdom is built Elizabeth-class super aircraft carrier, just reduce the British defense spending constraints, to prepare plans to buy the original cut to a level of Elizabeth. In this way, an aircraft carrier under construction is likely to sell. In addition, India to buy aircraft carrier, will be mainly used to combat the threat of China in the Indian Ocean.

In fact, the Indian Navy aircraft carrier in the development of recent years has indeed run into a lot of Gou Gou Kankam, India, the existing one aircraft carrier, is very old, and had just spent a 50-year-old birthday. We are more familiar with this aircraft carrier, virrat number, is a British navy has been involved in the competitive spirit Falklands War aircraft carrier, is 28 thousand tons of a small aircraft carrier.

After this, the Indian Navy and from Russia, bought an aircraft carrier, under construction in the course of construction, India is building an aircraft carrier itself, and now offered to buy the British ship super-carrier. It can be seen, the Indian Navy aircraft carrier combat force for development is very anxious, but also spared no effort.

Another said the news that the Indian side said that the purchase of new aircraft carrier will be used mainly to combat the threat of China in the Indian Ocean. This argument is purely non-existent. Because China’s navy has also entered the Indian Ocean did not fight the trend, but India itself is a special liking for the Indian Ocean. In India’s national development strategy which, in the hope the Indian Ocean into a real Indian ocean.

Now, the Indian Ocean, the largest presence of U.S. naval forces, so that the new carrier with the ship, to fight the so-called China threat, it should be an Indian media rhetoric. In fact, the carrier has little to do with China. Because of its main combat area in the Indian Ocean, from the next term, it should not be the main target of the Chinese Navy. If the balance of power from the sea view, it should be the main target of the U.S. military presence in the Indian Ocean.

Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers are called super-carrier?

Elizabeth-class designed and built by the British Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, one, and its displacement is 65,000 tons. This displacement should be second only to the United States is the world’s largest aircraft carrier Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, and the architectural design of the British Navy has always been the standard is relatively high, so the British aircraft carrier in the planning of their own future development, when the carrier exceeds the design specifications The new French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is level, so ship 65,000 tons of the carrier, either from a head, or from its overall technological level, have reached a very high level. From its operational capability terms, second only to the U.S. super aircraft carrier.

The carrier uses a lot of new technology, because of its design time is relatively late, is said to be using two ship Road configuration, but deck equipped with catapults, that is, the heavier jet aircraft can take-off operations aircraft, the British Navy are primarily designed configuration of the F35 is the American type of fourth generation aircraft carrier, while the British Navy in accordance with the original design configuration, it can be configured two E2C early warning aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier as a whole, a very high standard . To get this aircraft carrier, to the Indian Navy is concerned, is a leap of things.

One is that those with the aircraft carrier, even if the existing fleet of virrat number retired, India can still have three aircraft carriers in service, with three in-service aircraft carrier, that is, apart from the United States after the second child of. Leap second change is that although India had been equipped with an aircraft carrier, but the equipment has always been a small aircraft carrier, the configuration of the carrier-based aircraft are also basically take off and land vertically, and there is no fixed-wing of the early warning aircraft. Once introduced Elizabeth class, then the Indian Navy’s aircraft carrier Admiral can be configured to the latest jet fighters, but also can configure the carrier-based aircraft, this configuration the standard will enable the Indian Navy’s aircraft carrier to reach a fighting force the world’s second level, so The news caused a lot of people’s attention.

Buy Elizabeth-class super aircraft carriers are a blessing or a curse?

Some people may say is a curse is a blessing this argument a bit too much, because the purchase of the carrier will make the Indian Navy’s fighting force at sea appears leap-style change, which is of course a good thing for India, but in fact may not be. Because now Elizabeth class aircraft carrier is in the construction of which, but the carrier certainly not cheap. Therefore, for India to buy the carrier, there are many risks.

From my personal analysis, the biggest risk is the construction, equipment and life cycle issues. Aircraft carrier under construction, the real delivery may have to wait until few years later, this period may at any time be some turn of events. This is before the India to buy Russian aircraft carrier in the process once there have been many changes in his. It is said that in order to buy Russian aircraft carrier in India spent a lot of money wasted so far have not seen the carrier into the Indian Navy’s prospects. Similarly, the British aircraft carrier the existence of such risks.

Second, from the said funds, in accordance with the present report, the United Kingdom expressed the hope that not less than 2 billion pounds to sell the carrier, this is not a small sum, equivalent to about 40 billion U.S. dollars down, this is just a hull . If the British Navy in accordance with the original standards, it is filled and with F-35 carrier-based fighter, E2C early warning aircraft carrier, the total cost will reach 100 billion U.S. dollars, the cost of India’s defense spending for the future is not a small burden on .

Third, the carrier supporting operational risk. Now the carrier platform, from the United Kingdom, according to the United Kingdom was originally designed for carrier-based aircraft are F-35, F-35 is produced by the United States, E2C early warning aircraft carrier is also produced by the United States, which there is a big risk, the United Kingdom is willing to sell the aircraft carrier, then the United States’s willingness to incorporate the most advanced four-generation carrier-based early-warning planes and sell India? This is probably Yaoda a big question mark. And what time to get ship-borne aircraft, carrier-based aircraft price is the amount of future use of these carrier-based aircraft maintenance and repair work on how to complete, which are considerable risks.

As we have just mentioned, the current strength of the Indian Ocean should be the largest offshore U.S. Navy, and now India need to build a very terrible sea power, then what is the attitude of the United States would be India? In this context, whether the United States will conduct a comprehensive package aboard the British aircraft carrier, in particular, by providing the most advanced carrier-based computer technology, I am afraid there are still considerable uncertainties. So for the Indian Navy is hard to say now is a curse or a blessing, they might very likely there will be a huge “fishing projects.”

Around the world, apart from some big countries, the India is also the most active aircraft carriers of the country, it is also very concerned. This shows that the aircraft carrier in the future pillars of the status of naval warfare, but also indicated that a growing number of countries expressed hope that the operational platforms to make their sea power to be leaps and bounds. But we history of aircraft carriers from the Indian point of view, if he could not grasp the carrier’s core technologies, including carrier-based aircraft of the core technology, even with the advanced aircraft carrier, will be controlled by others, and even become a huge burden, and even a bottomless pit.

So, for developing countries, with aircraft carriers, better well-established intellectual property rights, the only way the carrier of this high-performance, high prices, a huge combat platform, and can really play to their capability.

China to start building an aircraft carrier into the countdown

Oct 27

Posted by admin in Observers | No Comments

aircraft carrier 091028Since China introduced the Ukraine has not completed, “Varyag” aircraft carrier, and its dock in the coastal city of Dalian, the Western media, “Varyag” was speculation that has never stopped. Recently, some Western media speculation that China would “Varyag” was built aircraft carrier training ship for future Chinese-made aircraft carrier “paving the way.” In addition, the Western media that China is building a number of landlocked aircraft carrier model facilities as ancillary facilities for the training of pilots.

W-Liang Ge Zheng reportedly converted

Bloomberg News Service reported October 20 that the park in Dalian, “Varyag” aircraft carrier deck can already see workers in the construction, can be seen at dusk or even obvious “welding sparks.” Ukraine inherited “Varyag” was in 1998 after its sold to China, and officially settled in 2002, is located in Dalian shipyard.

U.S. Navy intelligence agencies in July, according to the report of the disclosure, parked in Dalian, “Varyag” was completed will be the first. The report speculated that, “Varyag” was in the 2010 to 2012 put into use, but only as a training ship, and China’s domestic carrier would be “some time after 2015,” appeared. Canada published the “Han Defense Review” also speculated that China’s aircraft carrier project is not affected by the financial crisis, and the supporting facilities are to continue to build, the construction of modular construction of the internal carrier Outside the factory, filled with a variety of containers, some stacked three containers to achieve a high level, showing that preparations for the construction of China’s aircraft carrier has reached its final stage.

In China, the aircraft carrier the discussion has been going on for 50 years. Military analysts pointed out that exports of goods, as well as oil, gas and iron ore imports are highly dependent on the safety of sea lanes, so China is set to send an aircraft carrier at sea within a few years.

Intensify the development of aircraft equipment

In addition to concern about so-called “Varyag” was modified process, the Western media, the so-called carrier-based early-warning aircraft and an aircraft carrier is also very interested in training facilities. U.S. Global Strategic Network has recently speculated that China will be under construction by the Chinese-made aircraft carrier with a “Yun -7″ platform installation KJ200 phased array radar system, a new carrier-based early warning aircraft. “Yun -7″ aircraft for the Chinese imitation Russian AN -24 aircraft. China’s “Win -7″ early-warning aircraft will undertake similar to the U.S. 23 tons of heavy E-2 AWACS-type aircraft on the carrier’s combat duty.

In the ocean 643 kilometers away from Wuhan, the Western media seems to have found a Chinese carrier’s “clues.” Bloomberg news agency speculated that an aircraft carrier near the lake, etc. Although the size of models can not be moved, but it totally can be used to train crew on the aircraft carrier. Last week, the lake shore to fertilize vegetables, the farmers have seen two cranes in the construction of aircraft carrier-type architecture. The United States, “Aviation Week” article pointed out that the Internet reportedly appeared on ship Design and Research Institute is located in Wuhan, a large number of very interesting pictures of the facilities, photos displayed on a building above the main superstructure of an aircraft carrier is under construction, but also there is a large roof platform can be used as training planes and a helicopter landing deck to use.

In addition, the United States a “strategic’s page” website article also revealed that the U.S. commercial satellite photographs taken by the Chinese carrier plans to provide new evidence: China is on the slide-yue-type aircraft carrier deck design of tests and speculation that China will have one next year, with the operational capability of the aircraft carrier. Reported that satellite images show that China has built a place in the Northwest flying leaps slippery runway training facilities, where windy, and the aircraft carrier similar to the real environment. The article said that China’s carrier-based pilots, only got a four-year training is “gambling”, but “the Chinese people aggressive, and are struggling to make progress.”

A cost of 10 billion aircraft carrier battle group

U.S. Department of Defense reported that China’s future will have one, including destroyers, submarines and amphibious ships, including a total of 190 ships consisting of the main fleet. Bloomberg article points out, China must buy fighter planes, training pilots, the construction of auxiliary ships, and learn to control technology aircraft carrier at sea. U.S. Naval War College, according to researchers estimated that the cost of an aircraft carrier battle group of about 100 billion U.S. dollars.

Sino-US relations at Boston University, USA Professor Robert – Ross, said the past 10 years, China mainly relies on missiles, submarines and mine-laying ship to defend its territorial waters, when the demand of China’s aircraft carrier is not urgent, but also uneconomical. At present, China’s economy has reached 3.9 trillion U.S. dollars, its foreign exchange reserve reached 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars, making China’s leaders are seriously considering the construction of a fixed-wing aircraft capable of carrying aircraft carrier to join the United States, Russia, India, France and Brazil, the composition of carrier club. United States, Virginia Center for Naval Analysis (CNA) The China expert David – Finkelstein pointed out that “China is only a matter of time Zaochu carrier, its strategy also requires a carrier or a delivery in the region, naval air forces . ”

China Direct 8 early-warning helicopters are available – Will be used for aircraft carrier

Oct 21

Posted by admin in Observers | No Comments

Early-warning helicopter straight -8October 21, Western military experts, the famous Chinese Johanna Weng (Johnathan Weng) in the “comprehensive report on China’s national defense” web site published an article some time ago through the analysis of China’s Internet exposure of early-warning helicopters for Direct -8 relevant circumstances.

According to the article, while the Z-8 is the last century, imported from France 70 years, from a large helicopter platform, the prototype and its modification machines in service a long time. But through the recent pictures of China’s Internet by the exposure analysis, indeed confirmed the existence of such a plan for the Chinese navy carrier supporting the installation of early warning systems for Z-8 helicopters provided sufficient evidence.

Photographs showed that the early-warning-type Z-8 helicopter in the post-installation outside of a strip-array radar. According to the photo set in place, some analysts believe may be French Army Air Force aircraft to the existing fleet of Super Puma MK-II utility helicopters as a platform modified for the “Horizon” (Horizon) similar to airborne early warning system. “Horizon” on-board system is the Thomson-CSF company has developed the aerial observation of the battlefield radar (LCTAR), the radar antenna mounted on the appearance, such as balance beam inflatable radome, the radome from the specially treated water-resistant fiber skin system Cheng. Radome under the rear in a helicopter rotating bracket, in the take-off and landing, antenna Zhaoxiang the recovered fuselage and tail rotor in the post-collection junction. In the early warning process, up to 3.5-meter antenna cover is launched vertically. Radome rotation to work from the stowed position to the start position just 14 seconds, the antenna can be a stable pitching and rolling movement, do circle scan. It is learned that, Z-8 type are equipped with an array of early warning radar will probably be taken with a similar work. It can even aircraft carrier task forces to provide low-altitude fighter a high degree of intelligence within the scope of early warning.

In June 2009, Richard Fisher (Rid Fisher) have been reported for the People’s Liberation Army is developing aircraft carrier battle groups supporting services for the plane, in the initial emphasis had been placed on the development of airborne early warning aircraft (hereinafter referred to AEW) and anti-submarine version of the The Changhe Z-8 helicopter production platform.

Of course, there is another modified early warning helicopters could be installed to provide the battlefield for the People’s Liberation Army Synthetic Aperture Scan mode (SAR-type) radar. However, Either way, the authors believe that it represents China’s military equipment and technology content in major developments.

At the same time, this also seems to indicate that China has ruled out buying cards from Russia – 31-type helicopters and AWACS possible.

Sailfish hunting chuyo: persistent attacks on three Japanese aircraft carrier sunk

Oct 13

Posted by admin in History | No Comments

In September 1943, the U.S. Pacific Fleet sent a “flag fish” such as No. 10 submarines to the central Pacific. The mission of the submarine are mainly engaged in surveillance activities, and the opportunistic to the rush to the rescue of the Japanese navy ships and transport ships to attack.

November 30, 1943, Struck exit from the Japanese navy’s “red eagle,” number and “Cloud Eagle” was to escort aircraft carrier, and their destination is Japan’s Yokosuka. A few days before, “red Eagle” number and “Cloud Eagle” aircraft carrier has just a few dozen Japanese planes sent to Truk. In order to ensure the safe return of these two aircraft carriers in mainland Japan, in accordance with the instructions of the Japanese Naval Operations Command from “Maya” was heavy cruiser and “Pu Wind” destroyer and the “red Eagle” number and “Cloud Eagle” aircraft carrier was composed of formation.

At 23 o’clock on December 3, 1943 or so, is latitude 32 ° N 143 ° near the waters of the U.S. Navy submarine “Swordfish” was the use of boats on the radar found a suspicious target, target distance, 8650 meters, it is to “flag fish “was close to the location. 8 minutes later, “swordfish” was gradually found another three goals. It turns out that four goal is to return to Yokosuka on the way is being used by the Japanese Struck “red Eagle” aircraft carrier formation.

At this point it is nearly midnight, high winds accompanied by heavy rain, the sea rolling waves, visibility is very low. Captain Ward Captain directs the whole crew, ready for battle, the “flag fish” was then to surface navigation gesture, braving the sea waves, to look towards the speed of 12 Japanese Zhezhi carrier battle group.

When the Japanese fleet at sea Zhezhi closer, the captain in command of Captain Ward “flag fish” submarine quickly submerged, and then measured according to radar data, the use of submarines Department 4 bow torpedo tubes Alignment “Chong Eagle” aircraft carrier salvo of four torpedoes, of which two hit the “red eagle.”

In order to completely destroy the injured, “red eagle,” the Persian Gulf, “flag fish” submarine float to the surface, risking their command of the hatch may be Pujin the risk of seawater, chasing Zhezhi carrier battle group. At 2:40 on December 4, “flag fish” submarine’s radar detected the Japanese aircraft carrier battle groups began a tortuous Zhezhi navigation, so that the speed of the entire aircraft carrier fleet immediately drop down. This change in the situation at sea, has become more conducive to “flag fish” was to occupy a favorable position array.

5:52, “flag fish” submarine to the “red Eagle” aircraft fired three torpedoes, of which two hit. At this point is at sea before dawn, in a large number of flares of shine under the sea seemed a bright, “flag fish” submarine’s location along exposed. So Ward captain in command of “flag fish” submarine rapid dive to evade. “Flag fish” submarine navigation in the water the next for a distance to avoid being attack Japanese convoy ships on the one hand re-filled with torpedoes, ready to wait for an opportunity once again to be badly hit the “red Eagle” aircraft carrier to launch new attacks.

7:48, when the “flag fish” was re-float the surface, the days have been great light, the sea after a night of torrential rain, the visibility is very high. At this point, “flag fish” on the look-out submarine officer found that “red Eagle” aircraft carrier, while still floating on the water, but it seems a motionless on the sea of.

Ward captain think we should lose no time on the “red Eagle” aircraft carrier for another torpedo attack. His command, “flag fish” submarine submerged, from the “red eagle,” the carrier’s port side to bypass the stern, sailing to the “red eagle” was starboard side of the bow. The discovery of “red eagle,” the carrier some tilt to the port side, so the captain decided to continue the attack on Ward “red eagle,” the carrier’s port side. Thus, under the command of captain in the Ward, “flag fish” submarine again around the back to the “red eagle,” the side of the carrier’s port side.

9:40, “flag fish” submarine fired three torpedoes, approximately 2-3 minutes later, Tingnei officers heard two dull explosions. Since then, the Japanese right “flag fish” submarine search operations continued for about half an hour, but the “flag fish” submarine has long been away from the scene.

“Chong Eagle” aircraft carrier in the “flag fish” submarine torpedo attack on the 3rd, the many of the cabins are located on the port side was severely damaged a large number of water inside the ship, was at 9:48 on December 4 sank in the rough of the Pacific Ocean.

“Flag fish” submarine peril, in the wind and rain of the Pacific Ocean on a continuous tracking ship nearly 10 hours, after 3 attacks, and finally the “red Eagle” aircraft carrier sent to the seabed. The military action has been called “the Pacific War battle at sea during one of the best.” (According to “Modern ships” Qi Yi-rong / text)
