thousand ship program India will not join the thousand ship plan led by U.S.

Abstract: What is the “thousand-ship program”? This program is proposed by Mullen in November 2006, who is U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The basic concept is make the multiple countries Navy cooperate together as partner, and share the information on ocean, central control the maritime activities, in order to jointly cope with global crisis or conflict on ocean.

Recently, one statement of the Indian Defense Ministry, the Defense Minister Antonio against India joining any multilateral organizations, including America’s “thousand-ship plan”, he said, unless such organization is established or madated by United Nations. India will be take part in regional maritime cooperation in terms of counter-terrorism and anti-piracy, but did not join any large-scale programs of multilateral organizations.

But for U.S., as the opinion of the Joint Admiral Mullen, he proposed such a program because every country can friendly cooperate with other countries in the Navy, and they can deal with a variety of maritime threats together.

But for some countries, they would consider the “thousand-ship program” is one method of U.S. to set up a joint navy force, so you can know why India refuse such a proposal.

Anthony said, after neighboring Pakistan happened the terrorist attacks in naval base recently, the region arround Indian Ocean began to face more challenge, and with the unstable political situation of surrounding, India should prepare ready for battle all the time. But for the offshore safety, Anthony said India has made great progress with the neighboring countries in eliminating differences, but they still much works to do, and the multi-agency should cooperate together for more, not only in the maritime navy, but also in the defense communication.

rdn 4dc203a37c1c6 The U.S. secret stealth helicopter crash have been exposed

Referred to the action hunting bin Laden, the U.S. Navy SEAL team member can fall down to the house without any sounds, and successfully shot the targets, all of these we should thanks for the secret weapon, the stealth helicopters.

If you know the details of U.S. military, you can find any news about the U.S. stealthy helicopter, because it have never been exposed, and it is the top secret of U.S. forces. So did you know why they bombed the unworked helicopter? That’s because they don’t want to leak any information of all. What funny is, you know a helicopter is huge, so there are still something left behind, such as the photo you saw above, and some other pictures of the helicopter‘s tail.

Actually, according to what the military experts observed, although they could not find its model, but its tails was obviously well improved, which is different from the common aircraft. So we have to think about it, whether it is the researching stealthy helicopter or not?

The Former U.S. Defense Department official, who is Deputy Director of Institute Lexington now, the Daniel Gul said the crashed “Black Hawk” is one he had never seen before, not only its tail have ever been improved, the lower noise material on the blade, in addition to there seems to some special high-tech materials on the plane body.

That maybe is a new helicopter. Maybe it will come in front of you when you have not detect it, that’s one important for stealthy helicopter. Because they can fly faster and in the lower altitude, you may not hear it when far away, but it may come to you soon, that’s so significant part of their success.

But we think it maybe is not the first they used the Black Hawk, maybe just we don’t know it in public. Gul suggested, “In the past five to six years, they may have used it in hundreds of such missions, of course they are successful, at least those helicopters returned to the military bases satety.”

Unfortunately, one airplane crashed and bombed, but thanks for some pictures of it exposed, so we know the secret finally.

U.S. aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman 300x199 United States and Israel Navy suddenly intensive through the Suez CanalJune 18, 11 U.S. warships and at least one Israeli warships through the Suez Canal to the Red Sea. U.S. Navy official website has revealed that the fleet will go to the Arabian Sea near the Iranian deployment of 6 months. And echoes of this military move, the U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on the 17th that Iran could “100 missile salvo Europe”, but according to Xinhua 20, Iranian Defense Minister 19, countered that the missile only to Iran self-defense.

Decades had seen such a large fleet of “river”

According to the United States 19 United Press International reported, on June 18, 11 U.S. warships and at least one Israeli warships through the Suez Canal to the Red Sea. In the process of ship navigation, the Egyptian military in large numbers of troops deployed along the canal for the fleet by providing the alert. Witnesses said that for decades have never seen such large-scale fleet (including the civilian merchant ships), intensive through the Suez Canal. When the fleet through, all the merchant shipping and civil traffic have been suspended.

The report did not reveal the specific U.S. warships through the Suez Canal battle sequences, but the United States, “Global Strategy” network previously disclosed, “Truman” aircraft carrier battle group on 10 June in the waters near the French port of Toulon, with the French Navy ” Charles de Gaulle “aircraft carrier and the United Kingdom Royal Air Force exercises, the main subject is the near-earth air support. U.S. military sources, “Truman” aircraft carrier battle group after the completion of the exercise will be through the Suez Canal, and eventually stayed in Iran and Pakistan are facing the Arabian Sea, the implementation of the deployment period of 6 months. Therefore concluded that the fleet through the Suez Canal, should be “Truman” aircraft carrier battle group.

According to the U.S. Navy official website, “Truman” aircraft carrier battle group left on May 21 local Norfolk Naval Base, to the Middle East area for 6 months the implementation of the “maritime security mission.” In addition to the battle group, “Truman” nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but also includes Carrier Air Wing 3, “Normandy” missile cruiser, “Winston Churchill” was, “Saca Austin” number and “Rose “missile destroyer and a German frigate. Concern is that when Israel to join the U.S. warships through the canal with the series? While several quantities? They are also with the “Truman”, as in Iran, the Arabian Sea near the deployment? These have to be seen.

United Press International said, despite opposition criticism of the Egyptian government to allow the U.S. fleet through the canal, but the Egyptian government websites have taken the right of navigation on the Suez Canal, “Constantinople Convention” copy. In 1888, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey) signed, the United Kingdom in 1904 and joined the ships of any State under the Convention and merchant ships have the right at any time through the Suez Canal.

British media said: The Air Force has selected targets

According to the British “Sunday Times” reported on the 18th, the Saudi military sources, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia’s capital) has allowed Israeli warplanes flying over its airspace to attack Iran. More of anonymity, said American diplomats, Saudi air force has been carried out relevant tests to ensure that Saudi Arabia will not take off and intercept aircraft, missile defense system will not boot, air defense systems will remain on high alert, but the goal is to alert from the direction of Iran. The newspaper also revealed that the first wave of Israeli air force targeted a 4: Natanz uranium enrichment facility and Qom, Isfahan, gas storage devices and the heavy water reactor at Arak; the second wave of targets include light-water reactor in Bushehr, is said to complete the construction of the reactor can produce weapons-grade plutonium. 2250 km from Israel these goals, even in the case of aerial refueling, but also exceeded the Air Force fighter combat radius, while the route through northern Saudi Arabia, would greatly reduce the range of attack. For the “Sunday Times” published Saudi Arabia to allow Israel to use its airspace to launch attacks against Iran News, Saudi Arabia to the United States Embassy issued a statement saying: “never allow any country to use Saudi territory and airspace to launch aggression against other countries . ”

According to the U.S. “Today’s veterans,” said Site 18, Israel is aiming to take advantage of Georgia’s forward base in order to combat the Iranian territory. Georgia, in northern Iran, Israel and its special relationship with for many years, the Israeli army has a secret base in the territory of Georgia to conduct ammunition reserves. In addition, Israel in the past few years, the arms trade with Turkey reached 50 million, the Turkish air force allowed to conduct training within the soil, as Turkey and Iran are very similar topography. It is reported that the Turkish army’s plan is to train the fighters suddenly into Georgia, in carrying ammunition into Iran soon after the attack.

Israel asked the U.S. opening Iraqi airspace denied

However, judging from the current situation, the recent U.S. military action against Iran unlikely.

From the diplomatic perspective, the United Nations has just recently adopted a new resolution on Iran sanctions, U.S. sanctions to force Iran to give up through the program also feel hope; in military strategy point of view, the U.S. military is still bogged down in war in both Afghanistan and Iraq can not be completely to extricate themselves, the United States has generated intense weariness, combined with the financial crisis, the pressure on the defense budget, military operations launched … … At this point, whether economic or political costs of the cost, the Obama administration can not afford.

“Sunday Times” also revealed that Israel had asked the U.S. to the Israeli warplanes opening Iraqi airspace to launch Iran’s nuclear facility attack, but was opposed to the Obama administration, which fully shows that the position in Washington.

The U.S. Littoral Combat Ship Testing Navigation – Breakthrough 83 kilometers per hour

Oct 22

Posted by admin in International News, Weapons | Comments off

The United States Independence Littoral Combat Ship 300x199 The U.S. Littoral Combat Ship Testing Navigation Breakthrough 83 kilometers per hourThe U.S. Navy launched two new “Littoral combat” vessels created in the test a few days ago nearly 100 kilometers of “ultra-high speed.” Among them, called “Independence” of the warship nearly 140 meters in length, from Alabama shipyard, which exceeded 44 per hour (83 kilometers), and adhere to 4 hours. Also known as a “free” was a warship (nearly 130 meters long) are also tested to produce a similar answer sheets.

Associated Press report, the two new ships use high-power diesel engines and turbo-gas engine as a dynamic system, so at an alarming rate. They do not use conventional propeller technology, instead of using a more efficient and flexible, “water-jet propulsion method.” Shallow draft vessels when compared with the general, more suitable for in-depth enemy’s coastal waters to operational tasking. The U.S. Navy hopes that “free” was in service from next year, two years earlier than originally planned.

“Independence” is a newly designed aluminum hull shell three warships, and the “free” number is the traditional single-shell steel ships. In order to determine which one is better, the U.S. military ordered a further two with the “Independence” and “freedom” was the same level of ships for testing. The U.S. Navy said that it plans to build 55 such single vessels of up to 460 million U.S. dollars cost of new warships. Such vessels can carry helicopters, able to take anti-submarine, mine clearance, sending special forces landing, and other combat missions.

As a result of the so-called stealth and the “modular” design technology, the new ships can be within 24 hours from the “submarine chasers” into a “mine-sweepers,” rated as the U.S. fleet in the true “generalist” and its operational performance than ever before landing a missile hydrofoil or hovercraft. With the same stature compared to the U.S. military active-duty warship, “free” number and “independence” at a faster cruising speed of at least 10 knots (approximately 20 km).

Taking into account the test day, the “Independence” withstand winds of 30 knots per hour and two-meter-tall waves travel, can still maintain a 44 speed forward 4 hours, this is indeed the performance of the new ships have been strong. In addition to helicopters and guns, the above-mentioned “Clippers” may be equipped for the elimination of ground targets and small vessels of the vertical launch missile systems, which claim to accuracy in complex terrain conditions, the destruction of various types of fixed and moving target.

After the Cold War, the U.S. Navy under the changing international situation on several occasions to revise its naval strategy and draw a new conclusion: the sea is no longer similar to the former Soviet Navy as a strong opponent, in the past that large-scale confrontation between the sea is almost non – may occur; more realistic opponent is the “disobedient” coastal States, as well as its maritime rights and interests and strategic channel produces a variety of threats (such as terrorists and pirates).

In order to effectively cope with various threats, the U.S. Navy’s coastal waters as their own national activities in space and sea operations. United States Navy’s coastal waters for the complex geography, electromagnetic environment, the intensified efforts to detect and measure, and decided to cut suitable for large-scale deep ocean surface and underwater operations the number of ships and increase similar to the “independence” and the “free” was such a The so-called “Littoral Combat Ship,” the number.

“Independence” standard displacement of 2176 tons full load displacement of 2784 tons, endurance 4500 nautical miles (20 hour). The ship is equipped with various weapons and equipment, including a 57-mm stealth gun, a short-range air defense missile systems, four 50 mm guns, as well as two anti-submarine / anti-ship helicopters and multi-unmanned helicopters. It is reported that “independent” warship will be deployed in the west coast of San Diego, in order to focus on the direction of the Pacific Ocean.

Development Report of the U.S. Navy said it would be 2035 years ago to further reduce the size of large warships, including aircraft carriers from the current 12 reduced to 10 or 11, attack submarines from 58 to 40 or 43, but will shift the focus of naval development in the “Independence” and “freedom” was Littoral Combat Ship and other small warships represented.
