Huludao naval base satellite images 300x225 Huludao new airport could be used for parking of J 15 carrier aircraftUsing GoogleEarth to expose the United States national defense facilities, known IMINT & Analysis Web site recently reported an emergence of the latest shooting in GoogleEarth satellite images show, somewhere in southwest China Huludao a new airport is nearing completion, has been in place from the relevant judged military facilities, the airport could become the first one for the parking of J-15 carrier aircraft in the airport.

China Huludao new airports or used for parking J-15 carrier aircraft

Reported that the new airport is located 28 kilometers southwest of Huludao is in April 2009 -2 010 years in June in the construction of. According to this picture suggests that while the majority of the airport facilities and runway which is still in construction, but its overall layout has been formed. Reported that the airport may be assigned to all of the PLA Navy, and may be used to park the Navy’s J-15 carrier aircraft.

J-15 is a Chinese-made Su-27K (FLANKER-D) derived machine. J -15 prototype allegedly was August 31, 2009 was the first test flight. In view of the application of foreign technology in China has been a lot of experience, F -15 fighter’s performance may at least par Su -33 fighter.

The ongoing flight test prototype aircraft photos show, J-15 is a Chinese-made J-11B fighter aircraft derivative, is improved in the Su-27SK fighter, equipped with Chinese avionics, weapons and engines. J-15, though they have the Russian Su-27K the front canard wings and short tail, but it uses a modified radome, and only the J-11B fighters qualified for the modified tip missile rails.

Moreover, although this aircraft J-15 prototype, still seems to use Russia’s Al-31F engines, but this machine may be equipped with the future of China’s domestic WS10 engine. Or, as Al-31F engine performance as the sea air has been confirmed, so J-15 may continue to use this engine.

The new base for a similar aircraft flying leaps slide shows using the slope as a carrier-based aviation purposes, and this slope and the slope Xi’an similar in construction. The base is another potential characteristics associated with the Navy, in the main runway be built near the northern tip of a similar simulation of landing zones. The regional carrier pilots can land on simulation training. In addition, 24 separate aircraft bunker in the building layout, and perhaps the external display of the People’s Liberation Army Navy J-15 military scale – This indicates that the operation of aircraft wing may be 12 or 24 fighters from the composition.

Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, or will be deployed in China’s North Sea Fleet

Reported that China has chosen to build the airport in the northeast may be that will be used for parking Huludao Chinese-made aircraft carrier. Another option is to allow the naval base in the surface waters of Bohai Bay’s hidden flight training, so that the air wing in the final deployment to the converted, “Kuznetsov” aircraft carrier before, where work and training. Recently, the “Kuznetsov” aircraft carrier has left the dock in Dalian, it may have entered the sea trials before the final assembly stage. From the “Kuznetsov” was the work of the remaining terms, the carrier will not be tested in the ocean of time earlier than the end of 2011.

In addition, the location of bases from Huludao of view, the PLA Navy North Sea Fleet may be sent to a combat unit. Moreover, it seems that “Kuznetsov” was, or Chinese-made aircraft carrier will also enter the North Sea Fleet. In the construction of bunkers for a limited number of aircraft also means that the PLA Navy has not used the U.S. Navy’s model, that can be placed almost no large number of aircraft on the carrier force air base. This shows that if the aircraft on the carrier wing with 24 more J-15 fighters, these fighters will be forced to be deployed in different bases. It is noteworthy that by identifying the location of these bases under construction, it will further understanding of China’s aircraft carrier program, such as those in which Fleet carrier so.

Reported that there is a possibility that the PLA Navy’s flight test may be related to Action from Xi’an to separate. In the near future, Xi’an will test a new transport aircraft, XXJ fifth generation fighter aircraft, a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles and other types of aircraft. People’s Liberation Army Navy to conduct independent testing of new facilities and training, will help reduce the possibility of Xi’an potentially crowded. The event that the case, then the earlier the base of the scale of the air wing and other statements may be ineffective.

With the expansion of the carrier-based naval air force air force, and so the facilities identified on the PLA Navy’s changing the intent and the importance of strength will gradually increase.

Su 33 carrier aircraft 300x225 Russian officials said the F 15 carrier aircraft in China is poor performance, perhaps to buy Su 33

Su -33 carrier aircraft

Russia, the world arms trade analysis director, member of the Russian Federation Ministry of Defence and Social Commission for Igor – Secco koslowski shevchenko June 4 interview in Moscow said that as the performance is not high, the Chinese carrier aircraft F -15 failed in the external market for Russian-made Su -33 compete with similar products.

Earlier media reports, China is actively carrying out work on the development of domestic ship-based fighters, which is based on five years ago from Ukraine, Russia, purchasing the first batch of Su -33 fighter carrier test sample machine T-10K.

Secco koslowski shevchenko in to comment on this news, said: “China clones F -15 in the performance parameters may not be able to ship-borne Russian Su -33 fighter levels, so do not exclude the possibility of selling a group of Soviet Russia again request – 33 fighter for the possibility. ”

Russian experts believe that China has received the Soviet -33 test sample machine can not be the basis for the development of new equipment and technology, as from the Ukraine just purchased T-10K Su -33 developed several versions of the initial one, and only in the Soviet Union -33 production preparation within the framework of the pilot scheme before use, so there are many defects in its structure, and later in the trial and improvement in the elimination.

Secco koslowski shevchenko in particular, individual media reported that Chinese experts have successfully resolved the folding mechanism of the wing, he reports that this may not be realistic.

In addition, carrier-based fighter developed the most complex technical problems have developed engine problems.

The experts agreed that on the whole, aircraft engine development is the weakest parts of the aviation industry, China can not for the land-based fighter aircraft being developed entirely to meet the requirements of the engine, requiring a lot of buying from Russia, but for the carrier fighter aircraft engine manufacturing is a technically more complex tasks.

According to the Russian center of the world’s arms trade control of the situation, similar to the carrier-based Su -33 fighter aircraft carrier construction program is necessary.

Beijing has a few years ago the Soviet Union and Russia on the procurement issue over -33 negotiations on the procurement of the first two Su -33 to assess the technical performance of their flight, Russia’s dissatisfaction with this program.

China, Russia, after the proposed sale of a group of 12-14, Su -33, but Moscow believes that the program is equally unacceptable, because from an economic point of view, in this small number of Su-order condition to start the production line is not worth the -33 and Russia is also worried about technology leakage, because the Chinese samples in imitation of Russian weapons and equipment has a unique technology.

Secco koslowski shevchenko that the Sukhoi company’s final proposal is to supply the first batch of China 12-14, Su -33 aircraft standard aircraft for the Chinese naval air unit of the teaching and training flights, an additional supply of 36 complete aircraft, the result is rejected, then negotiations stalled.

Russian experts, and Russia in the Soviet -33 protracted procurement negotiations, China actively pursued the development of similar products SU -33 is scheduled to deploy to future domestic carrier.

China’s aircraft carrier program has been designed more than 20 years, in order to learn from foreign experience in aircraft carrier construction, the Chinese purchased while several States Navy decommissioned aircraft carrier, mainly in 1994 by the Australian aircraft carrier “Melbourne” number, and the former Soviet Union’s heavy-duty aircraft carrier the Navy cruiser “W good grid “number,” Minsk “number and” Kiev, “.

科罗特琴科 said, for the manufacture of aircraft carriers, Beijing also solve many of the most complex technical issues, including security devices and a variety of shipboard combat systems compatibility issues related to equipment, therefore part of the supply in China is There may also be forced to seek help from Russia or Ukraine.

According to the Russian center of the world’s arms trade analysis predicts that by 2020 China is ready to build 4-6 vessels of medium displacement of about 6.5 million tons of aircraft carriers, class and the “Kuznetsov” aircraft rather, plans to deploy to the South China Sea and East China Sea.

Russian Su -33 carrier aircraft

Russian Su -33 carrier aircraft

China’s Shenyang Aircraft Corporation to successfully produce the F -15 carrier aircraft, the Russian media said the Chinese people from the Ukraine through the purchase of Russian Su -33 decryption technology.

Russia’s Interfax News Agency quoted in May published “Chinese Defense Review” reported that the Shenyang Aircraft Company successfully produced copies of SU -33 and carrier aircraft named J-15.

Itar-Tass reported, although Moscow refused to sell to China, the Soviet Union to prevent the leakage of -33, but China still buy through the Ukraine and Soviet -33 to imitation. Based primarily on the Chinese fighter from the Soviet Union era T10K, it was purchased from Ukraine. Chinese engineers had solved the problem of carrier-based aircraft wing folding now been resolved. But as yet not clear whether the new aircraft built its first flight. J-15 after the factory test will be sent to the Air Force base. This is because the Chinese navy has not yet own aviation test center.

Reported that Russia had sold China to enter the Chinese market, Su-27SK, but then appeared in the Chinese J-11 and conduct a series of production. Russian experts are concerned that China may be crowding out the Russian market from a third party. China is now producing the J-10, J-11 and FC-1 imitation of a Russian Su and MiG -29 -27/30. The future, China may produce and market than Russia, “original” cheaper fighters, at least 1200.

China will build 4-6 aircraft carriers, F-15 carrier aircraft has been flight

Russian Su 33 carrier based fighter aircraft on take off 300x199 China will build 4 6 aircraft carriers, F 15 carrier aircraft has been flightJune 2, 2010 issue of “Jane’s Defense Weekly” magazine published in Washington correspondent Ted – Parsons (Ted Parsons) of the article, the article entitled “China test carrier-based version of F-11B prototype” . Jane’s said that China FYJS military site has revealed a new version of the F-11B photos canard wing and the short of caudal and other features are consistent with the SU -33, Jane’s also noted that China develop its own carrier version of F-11B at the same time, it may also purchase Su -33, is also possible that China’s use of carrier-based version of the F-11B to promote further bargaining with Russia. Jane’s also speculation that 4-6 aircraft carriers in China and the rapid construction of aircraft carrier construction program is perhaps the result of orders for Russian Su -33.

The article first said that Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (Shenyang Aircraft Corporation) airport showed pictures of looks: China now is testing a F-11B fighter prototype carrier-based version of the early.

Jane’s article said that China FYJS military site on May 20 revealed the photos show a new version of the F-11B aircraft, with the front wing Gaixing Ji obvious “duck”-style wing, relatively short caudal (Editor’s Note: China Forum called it “F-15″ carrier-based fighter). These features are produced by the company and the Russian Sukhoi SU -33 line carrier aircraft, and reported consistent with Shenyang over the years trying to “copy” of the model.

Jane’s article goes on to say, the latest pictures in this group before, there is a group of pictures show, the PLA Naval Air Force (PLANAF) forces in the procurement of land (non-carrier) of the F-11B aircraft. In late August 2009, several Chinese military forum for the dissemination of a web site on anecdotes, said carrier-based version of the F-11B has already begun testing new network message is implied, and now may also include slip jump (off) test.

Jane’s said, however, the latest photos appeared in China only shows the existence of a prototype, as the prototype is equipped with folding wings, it is not clear, although there is a photo showing the end of hook block, but can not make this final conclusion. As the aircraft prototype in the end is equipped with the Russian “Saturn” (Saturn) the company’s Al-31 turbofan engine, or equipment of the Chinese-made Shenyang Liming Aero-Engine Corporation WS-10A “Taihang” engine, is still not sure, Jane s comments that followed, which experienced the “chaos” of the development process, there is a late 2009′s reported that the first flight of the prototype two-seat F-11BS leaves the engine off and crashed.

Jane’s article goes on to say, the Russian side since the beginning of 2005, “China needs to meet the Soviet -33 restart talks with the Chinese production line,” Jane’s comment to the issue, the Russian side has repeatedly stressed that China’s ability to master many of them the necessary machine body improvement (technology) to the J -11 / SU -27 into a secure carrier-based fighter, skeptical. They also realized that China obtained from the Ukraine, a T-10K or Su -33 prototype. In August 2009 Moscow air show, there is news that China has to purchase about 40 for improved SU -33 and the cost of restarting production lines with suitable, this message also hinted that China is developing its own ship F-11B version contains the same time, it may also purchase Russian-made Su–33. Of course, also possible that China has used the F-11B carrier-based version of the successful to promote further bargaining with Russia.

Jane’s concluded that the potential demand of China’s aircraft carrier may be a favorable factor for Russia. Hong Kong, China in early 2009, news sources revealed that, in addition to being converted Dalian receiving aircraft carrier Kuznetsov addition, Beijing is considering the construction of 4-6 aircraft carrier. China in Dalian and Shanghai are the new shipyard capable of building aircraft carriers; while (China) the result of the rapid construction of aircraft carriers is perhaps the Russian Soviet -33 orders.
