U.S. nuclear submarines in the British Secret reports that security risks exist

Core Tip: report of the British Parliament has issued a secret assessment of the Royal Navy nuclear submarine reactor safety issues. Report that the safety of British nuclear submarine, the use of U.S. nuclear submarines in the technical data for comparison. The report shows that the U.S. nuclear submarine is not completely secure.


Data Figure: Seawolf-class nuclear submarines, drop hull, single shell, single-axis forward, and so on, these are the United States since the Cold War nuclear submarines hallmark

"Secret, was leaked closest ally." United States "Navy Times," 24, described the British Parliament that the secret report revealed weaknesses in U.S. nuclear submarine leaks. "Navy Times," the latest disclosure, the report shows the safety of U.S. nuclear submarines also not perfect and promote the design of single-axis may be its greatest weakness.

British "Sunday Telegraph" reported that the main report is to assess the UK Royal Navy nuclear submarine reactor safety issues. Level of confidentiality of the report are "restricted", which contains two pages do not deal with the sensitive content. Information disclosure requirements under the Act, the British public of the report of staff, but due to negligence, they are sensitive only to black out the background of the paragraph dealing with, but not delete the text. The results of these sections can easily be copied to another file on the read out content.

"Navy Times" disclosed more details. The report shows that the safety of British nuclear submarine design of the two worst damage in the event of a disaster can not achieve "optimal": that once the nuclear submarine reactor coolant loss or loss of control of nuclear accidents will happen.

So angry that the U.S. Navy, the report shows the safety of British nuclear submarine, the U.S. nuclear submarine technology actually use the data for comparison. And that the report showed that U.S. nuclear submarines is not entirely safe, the report concluded that after a calculated, the British nuclear submarine reactor cooling problem occurs, but the probability is twice the U.S. only.

The British report reveals weaknesses in the U.S. is not only a nuclear submarine. Reported that the civilian nuclear power plants with different platforms as underwater combat, submarine reactor accident due to loss of power if the same will affect the security, if the nuclear submarine out of control, the consequences would be disastrous even. U.S. nuclear submarines are present all the biggest drawback: There is only one shaft. Reported that all of the U.S. nuclear submarine propulsion system with uniaxial single-propeller, while promoting efficiency, but are vulnerable to damage, once the system failure due to an attack or failure, the entire nuclear submarines can only "drift." In contrast, the Russian strategic nuclear submarines were powered by oars forward axis.

Liu Jiangping Chinese military experts said the uniaxial single screw, single-shell and so the lack of backup and redundancy of the U.S. nuclear submarine design, while the indicators outstanding, but it does also lead to accidents. This is because most of the U.S. nuclear submarine design and construction of active duty in the Cold War, for each indicator, the Navy valued potential depth, speed and noise and other operational performance, the Congress concerned about the cost and other economic factors, safety is placed in a very rearward position.

In recent days, Thai and Cambodian troops exchanged fire in the border area continuously. Has resulted in 11 deaths and 43 injuries. So, conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, the fuse is what? Differences between the two countries border why it is difficult to eliminate? On the relevant topic, the reporter interviewed military experts, the National Defense University Professor Meng Xiangqing.

Thai-Cambodian border dispute is the fuse of conflict

24 am, Thailand and Cambodia troops again sporadic exchange of fire, both sides used rifles, mortars and artillery and other weapons, accused each other of launching a new round of attacks. Cambodia accused Thai troops in the conflict, the military used chemical weapons, but the Thai Foreign Ministry refuted the allegations "baseless."

Meng Xiangqing said Thai Army spokesman said the clash was due to the Cambodian side against the front-line commander of the agreement between the two countries, namely, Daman and Dag Roberto Temple area needs to be determined, either party shall notify the other party to enter the region in order to avoid conflict. According to the Thai speaking, Cambodia shipped without the heavy weapons to the region to go in Thailand sent a warning, the Cambodian side opened fire first, forced the Thai side fought back in self-defense. However, the Cambodian official that the heavily armed Thai troops continue to Dammam Mosque and the Temple area Dag Roberto forward in an attempt to fully occupy the two temples, Cambodia, after repeated warnings, the two sides then place in a fierce exchange of fire.

For this round of conflict, Thailand's 24th prime minister, said Abhisit, Cambodia repeated provocation for the purpose of intensifying conflict between the two countries, so that the border issue into an international problem. Therefore, the border dispute is the direct cause of conflict fuse.

Thai-Cambodian border from the historical and political reasons Chong

February 16 this year, Thailand and Cambodia troops to the border with disputes Zengyin 6 times conflict. Meng Xiangqing that the differences between Thailand and Cambodia, the border is difficult to eliminate double from historical and political reasons.

Meng Xiangqing said that Thai-Cambodian border dispute long time, is a historical legacy to today's continuation. 50 years of the 20th century, the French withdrawal from Cambodia, the Thai-Cambodian border dispute began to surface. In 1962, The Hague, Netherlands, owned by the international court ruled Preah Vihear Temple in Cambodia, all the while on Dag Roberto Dammam and the ownership of the temple and its surrounding area has remained open questions. Thailand said the map drawn in 1947 showed that the two temple in Thailand Surin territory. However, the Cambodian side that the temple in Cambodia within Adobe Meanchey provinces. Therefore, before the current round of conflict, the border between the two countries has been the implementation of joint patrols in the region.

July 2008, the Thai-Cambodian Preah Vihear Temple area between the two countries in armed conflict, both sides of the border disputes in other areas began to highlight. Except for historical reasons, the Thai-Cambodian internal affairs of the conflict between the two countries, especially with the internal affairs of Thailand are closely related. Thai Prime Minister Abhisit power, the border agreement so they could not be implemented, leading to the Thai-Cambodian border recurrent armed conflict. Abhisit If the Thai-Cambodian territory to maintain a hard line on the border issue, it is possible for his party to win more public support in the next general election to win more votes, a sense of domestic political needs of both sides.

Meng Xiangqing said that there are about 800 km between Thailand and Cambodia land common border, so far, only two boundary markers set up more than 70. Thai-Cambodian border demarcation between the two countries to fully and completely to avoid the disputes can not be achieved in the short term, depending on the stability of the political situation in both countries. If the domestic political stability, the two sides signed a series of border agreements in the past can be effectively implemented, the current round of conflict will gradually subside, so the current trend of Thailand's political situation will directly affect the Thai-Cambodian border issues.

Currently, the two countries to avoid the recurrence of the Thai-Cambodia border armed conflict, is imperative in accordance with the requirements of the UN Security Council and ASEAN, as soon as possible to send observers to the disputed area between the two countries, respectively, will discuss the two foreign soil. In addition, the 18th ASEAN Summit will be held this year on May 7 and 8, held in Jakarta. At that time, Indonesia will continue with the ASEAN summit to persuade both Thailand and Cambodia. Thai-Cambodian border conflict, the ASEAN summit will be the focus of discussion.

India is the loss of technical superiority of Pakistan Air Force

Core Tip: "India Today" magazine published an article forecast that the Indian Air Force on Palestinian high-tech advantage may no longer exist. Comparison between India and Pakistan Air Force technical equipment may be changed from the current 1:1.7 1:1.2 in 2012. Pakistan will have the 8 early warning aircraft, while India is only 3, Pakistan is buying from Europe more than 25 drones. India's air force is still dominant, but the Pakistan Air Force is rapidly catching up.

"India Today" magazine recently published an article predicted that the Pakistan Air Force by outsourcing the increasingly powerful weapons, and the gap between the Indian Air Force is getting smaller and smaller, the future of the Indian Air Force high-tech advantage may no longer be relied on.

Concerns about loss of air superiority

This, published in the April 20 article said that after the end of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, Pakistan Air Force fighter planes began to be determined from the number and enhance the combat strength of both, and now has built a team around the world and the most disciplined well-trained air force, "to be stronger than ever before."

Allegedly, an Indian Defense Ministry documents show that the Pakistan Air Force is gradually equipped early warning aircraft, aerial refueling, long-range missiles and other advanced weapons technology with the Indian Air Force is gradually narrowing the gap, "may be from the current 1:1.7 to (2012) 1:1.2. "If we allow this trend, the Indian Air Force's high-tech advantage will no longer exist.

The article said that if the Pakistan Air Force 40 years ago was a "can deal with the enemy", now it has become "a more formidable opponent," because of advanced equipment purchased by Pakistan Air Force enhanced its overall combat effectiveness. Article compares said: Pakistan is the introduction of four Swedish-made "Alice eyes" early warning aircraft and four early warning aircraft, manufactured in China shipped -8, while India is only 3 AWACS; Pakistan will be equipped with four Russian-made IL-78M aerial refuelingmachine, which will offset the advantages of the Indian Air Force's air refueling; Meanwhile, Pakistan Air Force is buying 25 from Europe or more unmanned aerial vehicles, India will no longer have an advantage in this area.In short, although there is still a whole advantage of the Indian Air Force, Pakistan Air Force is rapidly catching up.

Why bad-mouthing "powerful air force"

View by article, in the Pakistan Air Force "booming", while the Indian Air Force is on the decline. For example, a new generation of fighter aircraft of Pakistan Air Force equipment to enhance the "aerial potential", while India is slowly losing air superiority fighter. The radar and missile defense systems such as the insufficient number will further affect the ability of the Indian Air Force's wartime deployment.

However, it is not. At present, India has about 100 Su-30MKI fighters by 2015 will reach 230. Meanwhile, the Indian Air Force plans to spend 10.4 billion purchase 126 multi-role fighters, the U.S. and Europe and a variety of advanced Russian fighters are in the candidate list. In addition, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has signed a contract with the Russian Sukhoi company to develop based on the Russian T-50 fifth generation stealth fighter designed a new multi-purpose fighter. India looked forward to this latest fighter to enter the Indian Air Force in service in 2020.

While the fighting continued into Libya, but Syria has a global strategic significance, and was quickly incorporated into U.S. and European perspective.April 26, the United States to the Syrian government "repression of the civilian population" as an excuse to begin its consideration of sanctions and lobbying efforts at the same time put pressure on European countries. 25 evening, the United States has urged its citizens to leave Syria and demanded the Syrian Embassy in all non-essential personnel and family members evacuate immediately.

International issues, analysts pointed out that the U.S. action against Syria, Libya is a repeat of scenes before the outbreak of war, the United States and European powers could be Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, outside the "fourth war", Syria, or to become next "Libya."

Side edge of the United States initiated sanctions measures evacuation

U.S. Eastern Time on April 25 evening, the U.S. State Department said in a statement, in view of Syria's "uncertainty and instability", called on U.S. citizens to leave Syria and demanded the Syrian Embassy in "non-essential personnel and all family members" leave immediately Syria.

In addition, the U.S. State Department urged American citizens defer travel to visit Syria, proposals have been living in Syria, the Americans still in the business operation of the transport time "time out" to Syria. However, the U.S. State Department said the next period of time, the U.S. Embassy in Syria will continue to provide "limited services."

The Associated Press reported that thousands of Syrian army soldiers supported by tanks and armored vehicles, moved into the anti-government demonstrations broke out last month, the southern city of la. Witnesses said Syrian troops opened fire on civilians, killing at least 11 people.

25, the Obama administration officials began a number of briefing to the media that the U.S. government is considering the Syrian leaders and senior government officials to implement targeted sanctions. Many European officials also said they are considering similar with the U.S. government sanctions.

White House spokesman Jay Carney, 25, said the United States is considering "a range of options," but he declined to discuss details of the sanctions. White House sources have disclosed that the administration is considering Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, his family and senior government officials to implement the assets freeze and travel restrictions and other sanctions.

Consider the most senior official to Syria, investment in Europe, therefore, U.S. sanctions move the touch of the Syrian government is not large; and once in Europe to take similar sanctions, then will have a direct impact.

Are insiders, the reason why Obama ahead of the European countries will be revealed before the Syrian sanctions because the United States put pressure on its European allies, especially France and Britain to put pressure on the hope that they can quickly add sanctions on Syria camp. News channels in Washington, said U.S. officials are in close consultation with the London and Paris, to find the "best way" to "convince" Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Analysts pointed out that once the United Kingdom and France agreed to impose sanctions against Syria, then the impact on the Syrian government will be quite significant. This is because France is a former sovereign state of Syria, the two countries maintained close cultural and economic relations, but President Assad has lived in England for many years, speculation in the UK has "a lot of assets."

Former Pentagon adviser on the Middle East Davis, Cole has said only the European countries to take measures against Syria, the Assad government would "really be hurt."

Rendering the situation in Syria, Western public opinion

Instability in Syria this year has been speculation that the international community has more than 200 people have died in conflict. Thousands of Syrian troops and soldiers backed by tanks and armored vehicles, moved into the 25th anti-government demonstrations broke out last month, the southern city of la, which is widely regarded as the situation in Syria, a "turning point."

The United States and Britain-based 26 more than the Western media reported that the Army is prepared to enter the la city before the relevant government agencies through the city without water power, a large number of soldiers broke into the men traveling in a different city truck, then take sniper the roof, security personnel carried out quickly from house to house search.

26, the Associated Press quoted the words of the people rendering a Ming Dela said: "We need the international community to intervene. We need other countries to help us." He also said he saw troops open fire to a car, 5 people were killed, and said: "Syria, Obama to manage better, and allow Israel to control the Syrian better. let the Jews come on, they Biesade strong."

The face of criticism and accused the Western media, the Syrian government categorically denied, and said that the Western forces "deliberately look for a job," said "is not fact."

United States and Europe or in the search for the "fourth war"

Since the 22nd of this month has been worsening situation in Syria, also attracted the attention of the international community. Some analysts have pointed out that Syria may become the United States and Europe, Libya, following the new target after the target, but could break out here, except Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, the fourth addition to the war.

It is said that although the United States is considering sanctions against Syria if Syria does not itself have a direct impact on the next step will be taken. This marks Obama's dramatic change in Syrian policy, because after Obama has been trying to repair relations with Syria.

Gengrang fears that the U.S. current measures taken against Syria, and Libya had the means of the same: first accused local government "to suppress the people", then announced to impose sanctions, followed by Europe and the United Nations to lobby for its implementation of sanctions, Finally, it may be "humanitarian" use of force on behalf of direct military intervention.Previously, the use of United States and Europe have had this model in Libya, Yemen and Egypt in the instability can be seen in a similar shadow.

Analysts pointed out that the reason why Syria is so American, "got the idea," the strategic importance of Syria which has a direct correlation. Syria by the international community as "the world's largest small country in the country", because the 18.5 million square kilometers of Arab countries, while small in size, but has been the heart of the ancient world, connecting Asia, Europe and Africa as a bridge , which also makes it coveted goal of a great nation. Syria gained independence in 1946 until the Ottoman Empire had for up to four centuries of local occupation, ruled France for nearly 25 years.

For the United States, but, more important point: the relationship between Syria and Iran have been very close to Syria, the United States also known as "Iran's strategic backyard." In this case, once the Syrian situation changes, can also spread to Iran, which is the largest U.S. strategic objectives in the Middle East. Thus, the international community can not help but fear that the U.S. is very likely to apply the model of Libya and other countries, in Syria, launched the "fourth war."

Carrier does not mean that China has the right to challenge the United States Sea

Carrier does not mean that China has the right to challenge the United States Sea Core Tip: U.S., "Defense News" weekly published April 25 Chengbin Heritage Foundation research fellow, said the aircraft carrier is about to enter service in China does not mean that China will carry out gunboat diplomacy in the Western Hemisphere, but "Shi Lang" and the growing number China's submarine force and other "blue water" naval equipment does mean that the Navy to its neighbors constitute a threat to sea lanes. Data Figure: China is converted aircraft carrier Varyag United States, "Defense News" weekly on April 25 an article in question: When the "Shi Lang" was when the wind and waves Xinhua announced as the new aircraft carrier in China, "Shi Lang" number ("Varyag" number) of a series of photos, people with a stronger hunch that the Chinese naval fleet of the latest one about the water. Many analysts have pointed out that the ship is actually the Chinese aircraft carrier launched the Asia Pacific region does not change the balance of power situation. After all, one needs not only a fighter aircraft, attack aircraft, anti-submarine airborne early warning aircraft and air refueling could play a role in the composition of the air battle, but also a variety of frigates to provide additional air, surface and underwater protection. Therefore, at least, China was confidently predicted that within a few years, perhaps in 10 years will not have to play the role of an aircraft carrier battle groups. But as early as in the "Shi Lang" was before the first aircraft equipped with its impact on perceived to have been. China's neighbors, China's ability to deploy aircraft carriers completely changed the people of the Chinese military, especially the understanding of the Chinese Navy. "Shi Lang" was in fact the deployment of the PLA has been loudly declared himself a "blue water" force. Other Asian countries the Chinese army has declared its armed forces can and will throughout the world, it has been with the Chinese navy near the Gulf of Aden waters of the implementation of international anti-piracy patrols, participate in various international peacekeeping operations and purchase of vessels in the same hospital ships. This does not mean that China will carry out gunboat diplomacy in the Western Hemisphere, or China is planning a 21st-century Battle of Midway or the Battle of Jutland. Some people think that the reason why China's naval strategists interested in naval aviation force, must be because it can challenge U.S. maritime superiority in the western Pacific or the inclination to curb Taiwan independence, the idea is likely to be wrong. China's ballistic missiles could be decisive weapon - regardless of carrier or the U.S. goals in Taipei, not the carrier. But "Shi Lang" number, and the growing ranks of China's submarines and other "blue water" naval equipment does mean that the Navy to its neighboring countries constitute a threat to sea lanes. Therefore, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are facing the possibility of interference by the Chinese navy and China face the same possibility of interference by the U.S. Navy. Many of China's neighboring sea lanes have been the exclusive economic zone in China, making China a huge potential for missile boat fleet. These forces is an important reminder, let us remember why even put aside the issue of sovereignty and reunification, Taiwan is China's strategic concerns remain - if the Chinese control of the island, sea and air forces will be able to put into the central Pacific Ocean more far away, and the use of short range ships and aircraft control coastal waterways. It is with this in mind, the Asian countries have been adjusting their military power. For example, the Japanese naval and air forces will southeast, southwest toward the islands in the transfer of northeastern Taiwan. Vietnam to buy a new jet fighters, surface-to adapt their armed forces. Considering there is a dispute between Vietnam and the South China Sea through the sea lanes, the distance between the close, the purchase of "Kilo" class submarine is particularly quiet concern. Ultimately, the United States in this changing situation is still the key participants. In the absence of any regional security alliance in the presence of only the United States have sufficient capacity (including nuclear) against possible Chinese aggression. In addition, given the history of the area scores, only the U.S. has enough allies and relations can not simultaneously increase tension in the region against China. Beijing fully aware of the importance of the role of the United States, therefore, China's main concern is whether the United States will re-balance the emphasis on the Pacific way of its global power. In the "Shi Lang" was already beginning to affect the balance of power in East Asia, Washington on the consequences react directly affect the future stability of the region.

Suddenly, the sky came roaring between, made a new type of multi-frame J-bombers sped to drop a bomb. The first offshore South China Sea Fleet Air Force Regiment is being carried out low altitude bombing drills. The delegation headed by Zhao Jinsong, said the difficulty of marine low altitude bombing high risk, this exercise is the first organization of this regiment training courses. Before the commencement exercises, the regiment organized the compilation of the relevant maritime training materials and low altitude bombing plans for handling special situations, the organization repeated the pilot study of theory, simulation exercises and ground-line deduction, so that we live low altitude sea master the skills and special attacks Love disposal. Yin Yan wave dance, Haitian sound of thunder. Served as deputy head of the first round of bombing missions Zheng Jun Wu 1, fighters sometimes driving into the clouds, sometimes low altitude penetration, and await the "enemy" attack. Suddenly, the cabin sounded "DDD," the alarm sound, fighters are the "enemy" radar lock. Wu ZHENG while running decoy, while operating an aircraft made a turn, a successful escape. Immediately, he adjusted his tactics, and attack formations composed of 2 machines, a way to re-enter the radio silence bombing routes, rapid dive. 300 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters ... ... from a distance, almost close to the sea planes flying. Wu Zheng Jun seize the opportunity to decisively pressed the launch button, a few hundred kilograms of bomb sprang dragging parachute to the target. "Boom" sound of the sea nearly a meter deep in the water column Jumping "enemy" was hit. Bombers attacked frequently, between sea and rain down bombs, explosions one after another. It is learned that the forces in an environment similar to actual get exercise, the exercise regiment invited surface ships, ground air defense forces and other arms and services jointly participating in the exercise, set the air interception, surface attack, electromagnetic harassment and other tactics situation.

Indonesia's successful launch of Russian-made English the old ship "gem" anti-ship missile Core Tip: Indonesian Navy, "Vance Packard" class frigate "奥斯瓦德萨 Hahn" was first successfully tested in the recent Russian-made "gem" anti-ship cruise missiles. "Vance Packard" class frigate was originally an old British ship, but equipped with Russian-made "gem" anti-ship missiles, its long-range strike capability is expected to have increased dramatically. "奥斯瓦德萨 Hahn" was launched "gem" missile moment New network, according to Russian reports, the Indonesian navy, "Vance Packard" class frigate "奥斯瓦德萨 Hahn" was first successfully tested in the recent Russian-made "gem" anti-ship cruise missiles. "Vance Packard" class frigate was originally an old British ship, but equipped with Russian-made "gem" anti-ship missiles, its long-range strike capability is expected to have increased dramatically. Old ship fitted with advanced missile 60 years from the last century, the British began construction, "Vance Packard" class frigates. Ship in the class, "Lee was" class frigates based on the transformation from the biggest change is the installation of the Dutch production of advanced radar. From the late 70s of last century, the British Navy frigate on the implementation of this level of modernization, and ultimately in the period 1986 to 1989, will all six "Vance Packard" class frigates sold to the Indonesian Navy. Public information, "Vance Packard" class frigate length of 113.4 meters, width 12.5 meters, a displacement of 2,200 tons, speed 24 knots, contains 180 members of the former deck equipped with a rapid-fire 76 mm diameter 奥托梅莱拉 ship guns, and are equipped with US-made "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles and British "sea cat" anti-aircraft missiles, ship-stern design of the organic base and deck for a ship-borne helicopter NBO-105C. However, Western media speculated that Indonesia's navy frigate has been on the "Harpoon" and "sea cat" missiles removed, installed dual-mounted the legal system, "Northwest Wind" short-range air defense missiles and Russian-made "gem" anti-ship missiles. March this year, spread out the photos from the Internet shows that the class destroyers "奥斯瓦德萨 Hahn" number (hull number 354) is equipped with four rear does "gem" vertical missile launchers, the missile It is also test-fired the warship. Significant increase in long-range strike capability Russian reports said the new network, Indonesia's navy April 21 exercises held in the Indian Ocean, during which "奥斯瓦德萨 Hahn" test-fired a Russian frigate "gem" missile, the missile in 6 minutes flying within 250 kilometers, and successfully destroyed the target. Indonesian navy spokesman said 伊斯坎达尔 Boolean Sidon, Indonesia has long bought the missiles, but only now be tested. Data shows that Indonesia's navy had to price 2007 price of $ 1,200,000 purchased from Russia, an unknown number of "Gem" missile. Russian reports said the new network, if the use of fly patterns, "gem" missile with a range of up to 300 kilometers, in the final attack phase, but also the altitude down to 5-15 m, the low altitude penetration. And the old US-made "Harpoon" missiles compared to the "gem" more powerful missile warhead, longer range, greater penetration ability. Indonesia's navy frigate If the old full dress "gem" missile, the long-range strike capability is further enhanced. But it should be noted that the frigates, after all, a product of the 60s of last century, comprehensive combat capability is limited, Indonesia's navy for the installation "gem" missile largely because no other tonnage of its fleet of ships is large enough, only make the old ship as a new missile launch platform.

Improved analytical army armored personnel carriers and second-generation variants Hi Wolf Notes for the use of military channel Netease, please guide. More exciting, see NetEase Military Channel (war.news.163.com). Starting non-commercial reprint rights, please respect the Netease published until after ten days Zhuantie. Zhuantie please contact xizhilang0001@163.com Core Tip: A few years ago, broke in the network of 99 military-style tank experiments to finalize the improved information and pictures at the same time, there have been a new face of the tracked armored vehicles, this is the Type 89 armored personnel carriers of the major changes in the model (within the armed forces be defined as the 2nd generation and a half, improved armored vehicles belonging to the second generation, referred to 89 to change.) And recently, by the network members of the military forum posts out of 89 changes to the development of a variety of chassis-based security support vehicles picture was a "blowout" status, indicating that 89 armored vehicles and variable change has begun to emerge family car, the introduction of attention. First appeared 89 to change the picture (right), this picture shows the type test equipment, personnel tested after the group photograph 89 to change the comparison with the old 89 Type 89 Type 89 armored personnel carriers is a car race (WZ532 car race) in the base car, as finalized in July 1990, called ZSD89 type tracked armored personnel carriers, out of 63 for the installation, a domestic second-generation armored transport car. However, the new period, it has been difficult to adapt to the modern battlefield performance of armored transport vehicles, mobility, protection and information requirements of the degree of its leaps and bounds improvement is imperative. China Military Power Transmission and suspension technology, rapid development, it provides a strong technical support. 89 armored personnel carriers loaded was the backbone of our military to known and reliable performance 89 armored personnel carriers to change the base car, with 12.7 gun tower, and rear ZBL09-type family of 8 × 8 wheeled vehicle equipped with the same weapons and delivery vehicles Type 89 armored vehicles mounted with 63 basic overall structure is similar to the car into the cab, drivers room, staff room set, transmission parts room and engine room. 89 as a 89 modified model fitted the major changes will certainly keep the original layout of the overall structure is essentially the same. So, 89 and which specific improvement measures to change it? Overall structure - 89 of 89 wedge to change the old car followed the first and breakwater board design, but chose the thick body armor steel high strength, overall more than 89 costumes, "rugged" much higher. Both sides of the body armor to cancel the vertical angle, only one side of a top of the slope. Cover the outer surface of the drive chamber of multiple ribs welded to enhance the ballistic performance and structural rigidity. Members of the top chamber contained 12.7 Gaoping dual machine gun turret shield for the new design, an increase of envelope protection of the area, but the vision and thus reduce the small increase observed in both sides of the hole. Seen to improve the vehicle's protective capability is one of 89 main objectives of reform. In addition, the cab's open back door to front with a rounded rectangular shape, periscope-type pilot doors installed in fixed above the cockpit layout is more conducive. Secondly, the body left and right front headlight unit installation position of the combination of welding on the side from the lamp and converted into a first groove under the armor, and an increase in the vicinity of both sides of the mirror plate EXILE. Power systems - 89 eight-cylinder turbo power for the domestic cold cold BF8L413F engine, change the replacement of 89 military and civilian BF6M1015C Chinese wood production supercharged 6-cylinder water-cooled type diesel engines, power from 320 hp to 450 hp, and significantly reduce the structure size . 413F was a light military vehicles, military equipment, the main driving force of our military equipment, a large number of wheeled armored vehicles that use this WZ551 power plant. 1015 Deutz engine or the German company's technology, introduced in 2002 to obtain the production license, has achieved domestically, more advanced technology. This engine is also fitted to our military ZBL09 type 8 × 8 wheeled armored heavy family and some civilian vehicles, with good parts supply channels. BF8L413F 8-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine (left) and type 6-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine BF6M1015C (right), 6-cylinder engine power than the old 8-cylinder machine, thanks to the rapid development of high-power diesel engine technology Transmission system - 89 drive chassis mounted gear room for the traditional purely mechanical type, 89 to change the new upgrade for the domestic self-developed, reaching the advanced level of the CH300-based integrated gear box, such devices will be the main clutch, transmission, steering and brake light transmission capabilities all in one cabinets, electro-hydraulic automatic control, can be integral lifting, can significantly improve the transmission efficiency, quality control and maintenance performance. Direction by the double-rod manipulation to "T" type of direction to. Reliable running gear in use torsion bar spring, but each side of the addition of a pair of wheel diameter narrowing margin of road wheel, a 6 pairs. Sales for the two-body dual-track single-track induced by hanging plastic teeth, leading removable replacement teeth. Ruled by the left and right side skirts thin steel ribs instead of wave type, and press a curve of ribs, a distinctive feature of reform 89. The application of integrated gear box, a substantial increase in the transmission efficiency of domestic tanks, operating performance and maintenance, the figure is one of the CH series of integrated gear box Motor performance - Combat weight 89 installed 14.5 tons, maximum speed of 65 km / h, maximum travel of 500 km. Water motor way forward from the floating track the water, the maximum speed of 6.5 km / hour. 89 Although the battle to change the whole weight has increased, but the power system installed power ratio of 89 increased by nearly 40%, using a new drive / walking device, the maximum highway speed, off-road capacity has substantially improved. Reduce fuel consumption by 89 to change and follow the backpack body 89 installed outside the tank group, the stroke must> 500 km. Water motor means 89 are still tracked changes the water, but in the body rear apron end of the grid increased hydraulic conductivity, water is conducive to the stability and speed when driving the increase, making the water currently used to promote track a tracked vehicle the fastest. To meet the needs of information technology conditions, 89 to change with the integrated electronic systems, integrated display device driver is installed with the drivers task terminals, vehicle condition, digital map display, data communication with external command system interoperability, a substantial increase in the level of its information. Can say that the advent of 89 change, not just "new wine in old bottles," so simple, it makes the comprehensive combat capability of our army armored personnel carriers had been a qualitative leap. Overall, the 89-style armored combat skills and overall performance is only about 70 foreign countries the level of late, but the development of the beginning of the extensive use of mature technology and reasonable design, equipment used for many years after, it forces reflection on the 89 installed reliability is very satisfactory. This is no new development within the military lost the next-generation equipment installed to improve based on the reason one of the 89, 89, of this change will be good quality to be passed along. Change the family car 89 As 89 family cars, 89 will also change with the deformation of the chassis-based, supporting the ability of serialization, according to the different conditions of use, expanding the family of a large-scale armored vehicles, high-quality production equipment, will post the information to promote the conditions of our military Under the Army's armored weapons systems improvement and development. Currently there's 89 public members of the family has been forced to change cars howitzer type, integrated supply model, command vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, the future also have an ambulance after another type, car repair cars, and more changes occur (the initial estimate no less than ten). Self-force type howitzer 89 howitzer model is forced to change the tribe's fire support vehicle type, is PLL05 wheeled howitzer turret fire forced themselves through the seat assembly installed in the 89 transplanted change the chassis, and adaptability were Some improvements, such as the abolition of the car transport vehicles long observation tower, containing holes, such as firing staff observation tank. The fire performance and PLL05 exactly the same groove-propelled grenades fired a maximum range of 9.5 km and 8.8 km for the mortar shells, HEAT 1.2 km. After the force fielded howitzer, can greatly improve the heavy mechanized infantry battalions, tank battalions with fire support capabilities. 89 forced to change shape howitzer test (above) and production type (bottom) shape compared to mass production in the side skirts are stamping with wavy lines on the ribs, is typical of 89 to change one of the chassis Integrated supply model The models for the logistic support vehicles, a car is a multi-use supply vehicles. Model-based foundation in the staff room will be set back a little high to the body to hold. There are 6 built cargo container, according to ammunition, fuel, equipment, exchange distribution needs of different containers. Two columns of containers in the cabin divided vertically placed, fixed by the positioning seat. For the loading and unloading containers, after the body installed on the top deck of a small hydraulic crane. The models will be equipped with the armored support teams with tanks in the field units under the action of the implementation of supply tank protection. 89 to change the integrated supply model (left) and 89 old-style chassis ZHB94 supply vehicle (right), a similar structural layout Supply container cabin has 6, sub-two vertical placement, fixed by the positioning seat, the figure for the ZHB94 style cargo supply vehicle Armored reconnaissance vehicle The model is contained in the base car was heightened staff room to detect room, and installed the intelligence collection, processing, transmission systems and satellite positioning systems and Compass five most of the equipment power supply devices. Information collected in the surveillance equipment installed in the room can lift the front of the central surveillance tower on the top of the mast, the tower, including reconnaissance "Four Mirrors" group (ie, optical telescopes, laser range finder, thermal imager, CCD camera lens ) and a set of electromagnetic waves moving target detection radar. In addition, the detection chamber with the top also set up a set of reconnaissance UAV. Change the ratio of active 89 reconnaissance vehicle reconnaissance vehicle increased the lift mast and moving target detection radar, it can be said is a great step forward Armoured Command Vehicle The car's body and reconnaissance vehicle is similar to increasing the height will be set to the command room staff room. Command vehicle equipped with onboard computers and multiple monitors, shortwave radio and broadband data, image acquisition device, Compass positioning / inertial navigation equipment, night and day weeks as viewers and the auxiliary power system and the mast antenna and other devices. Change the transport state of the factory 89 command vehicles, vehicle equipment not yet installed 89 What is the status change Indeed, looking around the States Army armored equipment, due to the weak firepower, force protection and other poor birth defects, the current tracked armored personnel carriers, were all great and strong emphasis on fire protection capability of high power of the tracked infantry fighting vehicles to replace the trend , and armored personnel carriers also have the function of the momentum of the wheel of evolution. Even so, tracked armored vehicles is still relatively low cost, forms a very good performance advantages still favored by some big countries. Still a lot of equipment, the renowned Russian-made MT-LB multipurpose tracked armored vehicles, has a powerful family of the team car. MT-LB family of old improved in recent years become the modern Russian weapons and equipment to improve one of the most successful projects. In fact, from the real point of view, this so-called modern improvements, is based on the old body, extending its life and improve the firepower and protection, such as replacing the engine, improved turret weapons systems and other measures to increase the ceramic shield. In comparison, the consolidated balance of the 89 war improved technical performance is far tracked armored vehicles that linger in the life extension improvements can be compared. China from the 80s onwards, tracked armored personnel carriers have been identified and tracked infantry fighting vehicles with the main purpose of different, simultaneous development of the road. Although the new generation of ZBD04 type (WZ502) tracked a large number of infantry fighting vehicles have begun to put into active service, but its chassis was specifically designed to take into account the heavier weapon systems on the carrying capacity, and stressed the amphibious mobility, so it is more suitable for 122 howitzer, as such, all kinds of technical support equipment, amphibious support the carrying platform, and will change the chassis 89, as no special conditions of use armored vehicles equipped with platform family formation, more suitable for large purchases, consumption of more than achieve a higher more in line with the way a strong army modernization of our army.

Chinese Navy aircraft carrier needs

by Gooday on April 27, 2011 0 Comments
Chinese Navy aircraft carrier needs With the Varyag will soon become the Navy's first aircraft carrier in China, "Chinese aircraft carrier" once again become the home media and military experts debate the hot spots. However, the focus of public opinion is not much difference between the past and, more still "whether China should have aircraft carriers." This was the common theme, I believe that in terms of national defense or the reality of the long-term considerations, the Chinese navy must have the aircraft carrier. In the 90 years ago, the Chinese Navy "flying submarine speed," based, but far beyond the control of shore-based aviation Nansha Islands. After 88 years of naval 3.14, war ships had to return quickly to avoid being Yuejun air. China's door opened to ocean-going navy First, the Navy is a born military services for the ocean. As we all know, talking about the humiliation suffered by China in the modern, blue-water navy is a not open around the topic. In 1840, triggered by the Humenxiaoyan first Opium War, the British ocean-going navy to use its advanced, well maintained and expanded their interests in China. Affected by the impact of the late Qing Dynasty in the 19th century, first in the Far East who have established a Northern Fleet. However, the limitations of thinking by the defense, the role of the Northern Fleet was only "surround Gyeonggi", the huge investment the Navy has no income. And, after the establishment of the Northern Fleet in almost no equipment updates and upgrades, culminating in the Sino in 1894, was the emerging Japanese navy wiped out. Contrast is strong, whether just or not, the British navy and the Japanese Navy in the 19th century have made their great contributions to national interests. The Qing Dynasty is a mere existence of the Northern Fleet, Fleet, Military Thought determine its tragic fate. China must be a blue-water navy navy Founding of new China in 1949 after a long time, the Chinese navy is also considered a yellow water navy, mainly used for coastal defense. Focus on the development was "flying, diving, fast", surface ships in order to torpedo / missile boats based, the number of large and medium rare Destroyer and Frigate, and the quality is poor, with the aircraft carrier is unthinkable. Nansha sea battle in 1988, although the Chinese navy frigates easily defeated the Vietnamese navy near the original. However, due to the battlefield from the nearest airport, about 1,400 km Lingshui distance of shore-based air force one's own can not provide air cover, to prevent the Vietnamese Air Force Su-22 fighter / bomber attack, the Chinese Navy fleet at the end of the rapid withdrawal can only return after the battle. Into the 90's, the Chinese navy forces began to strengthen the construction of surface ships, many new destroyers, frigates, such as 052C have been batch-type and 054-type service, initially laid the basis for ocean-going navy. In fact, China after 30 years of economic development, national defense has also made considerable progress, the Army, the Air Force in particular has been built to the 3rd generation of a modern fighter-based air power. Difficult to imagine, in addition to the United States, which other countries have in China, with China, a coastal inshore war. Therefore, I believe that "coastal defense" is no longer value for China, the Chinese navy, if not an ocean-going operational capacity with the Navy, there will no longer have meaning. Aircraft carrier fleet has given a strong offensive and defensive capabilities, which is not comparable to other surface ships, especially in today's anti-ship missile proliferation. Fleet aircraft carrier is to protect the surface of the water the only effective way Mentioned earlier, the Nansha in 1988 after the war, the Chinese navy fleet to escape the air raids and rapid return, in essence, win victorious, not completely stop the invasion of Vietnam to the Nansha Islands. Since World War II experience shows that air on the surface fleet was devastating, especially after the air-launched anti-ship missile proliferation, one more conducive to aviation. General modern fighter-bomber can carry four anti-ship missiles, a regiment of 28 aircraft missiles can be projected 112. Enter through the low-altitude fighter-bombers fired missiles at a party, a party can only be in the water surface fleet of dozens of hundreds of pieces of the antenna within the sea-skimming anti-ship missile interceptor hit. For this massive saturation attack, even the most powerful air defense capability Aegis destroyers suffered the fate of one-way slaughter. Thus, the first modern ocean-going naval air cover to solve that problem, you must have an aircraft carrier. The use of carrier-based fighter aircraft in the enemy before launching anti-ship missiles to shoot down or expelled, is to protect the security of one's own surface combat fleet only effective method. Nansha, a carrier battle group to seize command of the sea Vietnam, the most advanced fighter aircraft the Air Force only 16 Su-27 series aircraft, it is not, and a medium-sized carrier aircraft carrier the number of frames 30-50. For the Chinese Navy, the Spratly Islands from the mainland about 1,500 kilometers, land-based air force it difficult to complete this distance air cover mission. Even the largest range of Su-27 fighters, Flying Leopard fighter-bombers, and their range can only be guaranteed when mounted in the portable air superiority over the Nansha patrol arrived half an hour. So, if a four-plane formation to maintain 24-hour patrols, we need to put 192 heavy fighters, AWACS consider if the input and the corresponding defensive fighter, which no one Air Force can not afford. But if you have a carrier, a medium-sized 4-6 ton aircraft carrier cruising in the Nansha sea area, equipped with a regiment 28 carrier-based fighters, air defense zone can be established. Early warning aircraft in the carrier under the guidance of carrier-based aircraft can also carry anti-ship missiles and guided bombs to attack, attack the enemy within 500-700 km of surface ships, and even land-based airports and other targets. With the purchase of modern fighter aircraft and maintenance costs rise, medium and small countries of advanced fighter equipped with less and less, this change in terms more favorable to the carrier. Such as Vietnam has 7 Su 27SK, 3 Su-27UB, 2 and 4 Su-27PU Soviet 30MKK2V, in addition to eight Su 30MKK2V arrive this year, a total of only 24. Malaysia's economic strength is also only 18 more Su-30MKM, 8 架 F/A-18 and 18 MiG-29N. Philippine Air Force now almost no fighters on duty. In addition, three more are currently no early warning aircraft Maffei. Therefore, these small countries, even more favorable geography, but because of weak air force, with a structural defect, but also can not compete with the aircraft carrier control over the ocean. China sent to the Gulf of Aden to escort formation, since only equipped with a helicopter, control area is very small, difficult to rescue the attack outside the merchant fleet. Perform low-intensity combat missions In recent years, Western organizations such as think tanks most concerned about the Chinese navy is sailing times. Navy sail mission reflects the implementation of long-range military projection capability, it is about the army's ability to safeguard national interests abroad. China's export trade as the backbone of the economy, while import large quantities of raw material, maritime route has become a veritable lifeline. So when the Gulf of Aden by Somali pirates threaten the safety of navigation, the Chinese hesitate to use most of the new Navy destroyers and convoy escort ships to perform the task. But the helicopter can only carry control the waters of Destroyer and Frigate very limited numbers in 2009, De-Hai hijacked merchant ships, the Chinese warships to escort because it arrived not too far away from the incident area. De-Hai on the issue of stolen tracking and monitoring by the European Union's maritime patrol aircraft completed. Had the Chinese Navy has an aircraft carrier in the adjacent areas, the situation will be very different. In the longer term, China in Africa, South America and other places have large investments in recent years came from time to time in the event of non-Chinese people have been robbed. Fortunately, many such incidents for the sake of the current fiscal, no complicated political purposes, but still need to begin preparations for military rescue means. 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln dispatched 17 helicopters loaded with relief supplies direct hit to save a large number of victims. For example, in 2000, six British soldiers in the peacekeeping force in Sierra Leone by rebels hijacked mountain, rescue the negotiations very difficult. Then the British Government decided to force use of C-130 transport aircraft delivered to the SAS, SBS special forces, one each company and six helicopters, a dawn raid by not only rescued the hostages, the rebels will be defeated unit. Carrier is also implementing such low-intensity combat missions one of the best platform. Efficient disaster relief aircraft carrier In addition to high intensity war, the aircraft carrier in the implementation of low-intensity tasks such as disaster relief also has a huge natural advantage, simply put, is "multi-function, high efficiency." If the helicopter on board the aircraft carrier can quickly reach the affected area, direct airdrop supplies, and delivery of relief for air search and rescue soldiers and wounded. In addition, the carrier has the most powerful surface warships of medical facilities, seriously injured can go directly to the carrier to receive emergency medical treatment, or even open surgery. Japan's recent 9.0-magnitude earthquake, earthquake, tsunami, the U.S. military has put the Japanese coastal waters, and Ronald Reagan Washington No. No two aircraft carriers to assist relief efforts. January 12, 2010, near the Haitian capital Port-au earthquake magnitude of 7.3, three days after the earthquake, the U.S. military dispatched the aircraft carrier Vinson, helicopter services, the provision of humanitarian and disaster relief. In the earlier 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the U.S. military mobilized emergency is in Hong Kong to the rest of the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier offshore disaster relief in Indonesia, 17 helicopters loaded with relief supplies direct hit to save a large number of isolated victims in the hardest hit. As a powerful carrier-based fighter attack / defense, aircraft carriers, the air and sea combat capability is the other ships, including submarines, can not match. For China, a carrier can radically increase its military presence in the Nansha Islands; the longer term, the aircraft carrier for the protection of the interests of adding a use of force abroad; same time, the carrier also has a more powerful disaster relief. Looking at the world, no country already has an aircraft carrier would give up this powerful and flexible platform for offshore operations. U.S. to continue to develop the new CVN-78 aircraft carrier, the Russian aircraft carrier Kuznetsov firmly maintained in service, the British defense budget declined 10-20% in the case of the construction of 60,000 tons still insist to start a new Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier. In developing countries, India, outsourcing 俄罗斯戈尔什 Cove only aircraft carrier, also initiated the construction of China-made aircraft carrier blue sky, and strive to have three aircraft carriers; Brazilian Navy also through outsourcing to keep the French aircraft carrier Foch aircraft carrier battle force . So, from a practical point of view, "China does not need aircraft carriers to be" almost without discussion.

Performance of the Chinese air marshals behind the Han Jun 2000 "Wedgetail" AWACS

Performance of the Chinese air marshals behind the Han Jun 2000 "Wedgetail" AWACS Core Tip: Korea Viggen military blog April 22 published an article on Chinese equipment, "air marshals -2000"-type early warning with South Korea recently imported from the United States "Wedgetail" AWACS for the performance comparison. Article that the Air Police in 2000 as the first of a phased array radar equipped early warning aircraft have been slightly behind. And Jun Han's "Wedgetail" AWACS, the technology and the overall structure of both the upper hand. Data Figure: Chinese Air Force air marshals equipped early warning aircraft in 2000 Data Chart: US-South Korean air force system "Wedgetail" AWACS Korean site "Viggen military blog," April 22 published an article on Chinese equipment, "air marshals -2000"-type early warning with South Korea recently imported from the United States "Wedgetail" AWACS for the performance comparison. Article that "air marshals -2000" early warning grew out of Israel's "Feier Kang" system. As the first of a phased array radar equipped early warning aircraft, has been slightly behind. The use of Lockheed - Martin developed active phased array radar system, "Wedgetail" AWACS, the technology and the overall structure of both the upper hand. The article said that in 2009 China's National Day military parade officially unveiled "air marshals -2000"-type early warning marks the Chinese Air Force has its own "force multiplier." China's air force began in earnest by the "homeland defense" to "both offensive and defensive" changes. But the article on the whole structure, the overall design and analysis of three aspects of the specific application that this type of early warning aircraft from Israel as a Chinese copy of the "Feier Kang" products, and South Korea will get the share from the United States, the use of Lockheed - Martin developed active phased array radar "Wedgetail" AWACS still lags far behind. First, the article that "air marshals -2000" type early warning aircraft in the whole structure is limited. The tradition of the last countries in the world equipped with the best early warning aircraft structure, aircraft or aircraft is in the back of a large platform such as the installation of a rotating dish antenna, which pulse Doppler radar for early warning equipment, while the rotation is to make radar can scan the range of 360 degrees below the fuselage. With the emergence of phased array radar and use, the antenna can be fixed even if the full range of scanning information. This not only reduces a complex structure of heavy rotating body, simplifying the structure, as well as more types of radar layout application program possible. "Air Police -2000"-type early warning with a three phased array radar, was arranged in an equilateral triangle which dish. This is of course the dish is no longer rotate, but the dish still has significantly increased the overall resistance of AWACS, AWACS flight not only slow, but also to the blank AWACS shorter, affecting the overall performance of the play . In contrast, "Wedgetail" AWACS, although there are also rear antenna, but the structure is more subtle, the column part two phased-array radar antennas, radar antenna at the top of the third. To meet the full scan of the premise, structure is relatively simple, more compact structure, the resistance is smaller. And as the load machine "Boeing -737" better than the performance of "Il -76", so the "Wedgetail" AWACS better than in the whole structure, "Air Police -2000," early warning aircraft. Secondly, the article said that China in the equipment, "Air Police -2000," before early warning, no independent research or equipment of a high performance early warning aircraft, the type of early warning aircraft are equipped with platforms and radar equipment from abroad, therefore, not the depth of China's own involved in machine design, and always at the position of passive acceptance. Therefore, in future upgrades and maintenance and updating of updating all the difficulties. Compared to "Air Police -2000," radar and carrier aircraft were ordered, and may be relatively old in the Russian carrier aircraft, navigation and relatively advanced Israeli radar system compatibility problems between different, "Wedgetail" AWACS is the whole import In the initial stage of the design is a whole. In the equipment "wedge tail" before, South Korea, China's Air Force Air Force also has more extensive than the use of early warning aircraft, experience, therefore, the overall design, the "wedge tail" to be better. Third, the article says, even though the "air marshals -2000" performance of advanced early warning aircraft, but for the Chinese Air Force is concerned, means that the it is only "yes or no" rather than "good or bad." Constrained by various factors, Although the Chinese Air Force has long been large, but the equipment is relatively old model. With the addition of a few years a lot of new equipment, although equipment levels have been greatly improved, but a problem did not exist before, and now gradually emerging out of the synergy that is operational. Although China's air force before the model is relatively old, but the source is relatively simple, the former Soviet Union were to imitate the fighters. Empty space there is no synergy between the big problem. But today the Chinese air force equipment renewal, from domestic, generic and imported a variety of channels, there is compatibility between each other. The new early-warning radar equipment has come from and how much there is no equipment in the Chinese air force base in Israel, which makes the already serious compatibility issues more apparent. South Korea Air Force's equipment, mainly from the United States, the upgrading of equipment, there are many inherent correlation, then the introduction of a US-made early warning aircraft type not only can quickly integrate into the entire operational system which, fitted out as soon as possible and the formation of combat effectiveness. Also, you can get a lot of respect from the U.S. experience, so its overall combat effectiveness can be improved quickly. Finally, the article pointed out that with the economic development and national defense investment increased year by year, China's technical level of all arms have greatly improved. As a technology-intensive military services of the Air Force, leaving due to a technical update to improve combat effectiveness are particularly evident. But the subject has long been the international blockade, and the limitations of their technological progress, China's development and the development of new technologies there is a strange phenomenon. On the one hand independent research and development efforts of all the military equipment needs domestically, even if done, will be limited to their own skill level so that the whole is relatively backward equipment. On the other hand, when you get a small amount of time when the international advanced technology, although the hope that root out the potential for wider use, but limited by their level of technology, advanced technology can not be fully tapped, and defects can not be adequately improved, leading to the equipment even if be updated, progress, but the overall level is not high, the model is relatively complex and difficult to maintain, compared with the international similar equipment, performance is relatively backward.

Defense Minister confirmed that 2008 had the stage to play in Beijing test-fired medium-range missiles

Defense Minister confirmed that 2008 had the stage to play in Beijing test-fired medium-range missiles Core Tip: Chen Shui-bian Government as the last one Taiwan, "Defense Minister" Cai Mingxian recently published memoirs, the disclosure in 2008, Taiwan "President" before the election, Taiwan's "Chinese Academy of Sciences" was test-fired ballistic missiles. Medium-range missiles have exceeded the normal range, the missile is said Chen Shui-bian decided to turn off its intended distance independent. This is the first former officials have confirmed that the Taiwan military for ballistic missile research and development. Data for: "Qingfeng" according to the United States is Taiwan's "rectangular" design of a missile to missile. Power plant for the storage of liquid propellant + rocket can be launched by hand, for the inertial guidance system and active radar guidance, means of transmission for the fixed-position transmitter. Chen Shui-bian government his last one Taiwan, "Defense Minister" Cai Mingxian, recently published his memoirs, which disclosed in 2008, Taiwan "President" before the election, Taiwan's "Chinese Academy of Sciences" was test-fired ballistic missiles, reportedly range "has been over the general in The distance range missiles. " This is the first former officials have confirmed that "the Taiwan military for ballistic missile research and development, and considerable achievements have been." According to Taiwan's "United Daily News" reported that the Taiwan-made medium-range ballistic missile, the range should be about two thousand kilometers, the representative in addition to Beijing, Shanghai, but can hit Shenyang, Chengdu and other places above. But for the "open secret", the Taiwan military has been tight-lipped, this is the first time that the Taiwan side of the former officials confirmed. Cai Mingxian also mentions that Taiwan's military exercises on the spot had been told, "test is likely to be U.S. spy satellites monitoring." Sure enough, the second week, when the AIT Director Stephen M. Young to come to Taiwan, "Defense Ministry" called, after the Pingtui bodyguards, Stephen M. Young asked: "whether the missile tests last week?" Cai Mingxian also honest answer: " Indeed there have been tested, but still under testing phase. " Cai also guarantees the Taiwan side will not take the initiative to attack, and will notify the United States, "Please rest assured Stephen M. Young." It is reported that Cai Mingxian was the "legislator", the Taiwan authorities, "Deputy Representative of United States for" Taiwan "National Security Council Deputy Secretary-General," Taiwan, "Deputy Defense Minister," and other staff. February 23, 2008, he replaced the case due to the resignation of the minister of Taiwan Goal Li Tianyu. Cai Mingxian said, the missile blasted off one minute after the break through the atmosphere, continue toward the sky, "has been flying in the flight distance of the general medium-range missiles." Taiwan, "CAS" charge several times to ask Chen Shui-bian, to not let it continue to fly? Chen Shui-bian decided to finally let it fly away and then turn off scheduled. Allegedly, the day of test results, so that Chen Shui-bian is quite satisfactory. Cai Mingxian also recalls the tension before the general election in 2008, the Taiwan side with the U.S. intelligence showed that "the PLA has been preparing for the Guangzhou and Nanjing Military Region, and if Frank Hsieh is elected, has had two referendums, it may be hands-on." Approach may be taken from the blockade of Kinmen, Matsu and other islands beginning, should not directly attack the island of Taiwan.

Recommends approval of former U.S. officials involved in the South China Sea to the Convention on Law of the Sea

Recommends approval of former U.S. officials involved in the South China Sea to the Convention on Law of the Sea Core Tip: Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, former Deputy Defense Minister Yuehan Ha Imre and Alan Prasad Senior Fellow, Rand Corporation, wrote a few days ago, the current importance of the United States ratified the Convention on Law of the Sea than in the past. Ratification of the Convention will provide the U.S. Navy in international waters and foreign Exclusive Economic Zone and territorial waters of foreign operations for additional flexibility, which is particularly important in the Asia-Pacific and South China Sea. Data Figure: Chinese fishing boats and the U.S. Navy, "Flawless" was confrontation between the South China Sea underwater acoustic tracking ship "The New York Times" Web site on April 24 article in question: the sea Frankenstein "United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea," came nearly 30 years, nearly 160 countries (and EU) have signed it, but the United States has not ratified it. If the ratification of the Convention, the scope of our exclusive economic zone beyond the continental shelf up to 600 nautical miles of control is expected to receive international recognition. From the military point of view, as is every reason to ratify the Convention. Joint Chiefs of Staff has pointed out that the Convention "will be the right of navigation, overflight rights and freedom of the seas codification of the law, and these rights on the global mobility of our armed forces is essential." In other words, it gives our Navy on the high seas and exclusive economic zones and foreign territorial waters of foreign operations for additional flexibility, thus enhancing national security. This is particularly important in the Asia-Pacific and South China Sea: Due to conflicting territorial claims of sovereignty, China, Japan and Southeast Asian countries exacerbated the tension between. Last July, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once again to the Southeast Asian countries that the United States strongly supports multilateral efforts to resolve the South China Sea territorial disputes, also criticized China's unilateral pressure tactics, this practice has won a lot of respect. However, the firm stance of the United States whatever the final because we have been unable to ratify the Law of the Sea Convention on the damage. For these reasons, the importance of the Convention on Law of the Sea currently approved more than ever before. On the occasion of the U.S. military and economic power were tested, we should not only land, but also play a leading role in the ocean. Of: Thad Allen, Senior Fellow, RAND Corporation, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage Yuehan Ha former Deputy Defense Minister Imre Singapore's "Straits Times" Web site on April 25 article in question: Beijing's latest territorial claims or make complicated relationship China is already the world's largest offshore energy producers. But it still wants to nearby waters in the territorial sea or to find more oil and gas resources to become more powerful, in order to avoid excessive dependence on energy imports from abroad. However, China's energy security strategy to take this further so that it may be the Southeast Asian countries and the U.S., Japan and South Korea and other countries complicate the relationship. United States, Japan and Korea as the South China Sea for trade and for military aircraft, ships free access to international channels. Beijing's rapid economic growth to boost energy while looking for sea target is a major concern in the South China Sea. China and Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei in this region has overlapping sovereignty claims. At the same time, the Chinese Navy and Air Force to buy weapons and equipment rapidly to master military skills, resulting in the formation of the South China Sea deterrent force to protect the Chinese energy companies there. Just this month, Beijing reiterated more than 80% of the South China Sea extending to the Southeast Asia region and the U-shaped area centered regional sovereignty over all islands and reefs. In a letter to the Philippines said its protest letter to express these ideas, this letter was circulated to all UN member states.

Philippines protests Fang Nanhai claim of sovereignty by the United States backing, Core Tip: early April, the Philippines, South China Sea border demarcation on the "Kau line" theory of protest to the United Nations, the Chinese claim on parts of the South China Sea question. This is from China in May 2009 submitted to the United Nations Commission on Limits of Continental Shelf Map Kau line nearly two years. Analysts believe that after two years, the Philippines, South China Sea, a sudden stir up trouble and the shadow behind the United States is not without relevant. Data for: May 2008, Philippine Air Force Commander Kadungege (center) visited the island in the industry Early April, the Philippines, South China Sea border demarcation on the "Kau line" theory of protest to the United Nations, the Chinese claim on parts of the South China Sea question. This is from China in May 2009 submitted to the United Nations Commission on Limits of Continental Shelf Map Kau line nearly two years. Even the opposition in the Philippines, the country will also be ridiculed as "late response." Analysts believe that after two years, the Philippines, South China Sea, a sudden stir up trouble again, and the shadow behind the United States is not without relevant. The only strategic partner February of this year, named former Philippine President Corazon Aquino III, Ambassador Del Rosario for the Acting Foreign Minister, to succeed in charge of the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs Romulo 8 years old. Rosario by the local public opinion is pro-American representatives. Indeed, soon after taking office in Rosario is clear that the U.S. remains the Philippines, "the only" strategic partner, the statement seen by some as the fulcrum of Philippine foreign policy. It is reported that on March 14, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has also made a phone call to Rosario, the theme is "around China." Clinton said that the waters around the islands of freedom of navigation-related critical to U.S. national interests. However, the earlier that some experts said the main reasons for U.S. involvement in the South China Sea is the "freedom of navigation", in fact, this problem has never been a problem of the South China Sea, South China Sea disputes since the island is mainly related to national sovereignty and jurisdiction over waters battle, and navigation Freedom does not detached. U.S. military assistance to the Philippines, the surface is to help the Philippines out terrorism, in fact, simply want to continue to the Philippines as a base to expand its military influence in Southeast Asia and China to win more chips in the game. Indeed, the U.S. high-profile involvement on the South China Sea has long drawn attention of the media. In particular, in July 2010, the ASEAN Regional Forum held in Hanoi, Vietnam. Hillary Clinton spoke at the forum, said the South China Sea involving U.S. interests, the United States and the countries have the responsibility to solve this problem. U.S. attempts to intervene in the dispute Nansha, making the further internationalization of the South China Sea. Some analysts believe that the United States hopes to continue to maintain the leading position in East Asia, balance China, while improving and the ASEAN countries. It is noteworthy that, after the United States has been behind the promotion of the Philippines and Vietnam and other countries to accelerate the involvement of the South China Sea. Philippine cold feet? The industry believes that appears in the Philippines, South China Sea issue is its main "external security threats," and only dependent on the U.S. and other powers in order to better solve this problem. "From this perspective, the Philippines, South China Sea issue will be further speculation, and thus to further win over the Western allies, co-counter and contain China." In an interview with senior members of the media Impregnated "News of the World," told reporters. It should be noted that, Impregnated that the Philippines does not want war in the South China Sea. This is because the South China Sea in the event of war, it will directly impact on the Philippine economy. Moreover, once the region into chaos, the United States can heels left, the Philippines has had to face the next mess. Therefore, the Philippines does not want the U.S. to provoke war. One example is in the United States in 2010 after a high-profile issues involved in the South China Sea, South China Sea, tensions once, that time the Philippines has shown a retreat. Since last year, the U.S. has always wanted to direct an additional military deployment in the South China Sea, and asked what the Philippines needs the United States, the Philippines expressed the hope that at least for now, "maintaining the status quo." CASS Zhao Jialin, director of the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute is also on the "News of the World," told reporters that due to current economic development in the Philippines is in a period of rapid growth, in order to maintain economic growth, environmental needs, the Philippines does not want to happen in the South China Sea and China military conflict. Therefore, the South China Sea issue will not be worsened. The Philippines made it clear that the hope of the South China Sea developed into a "sea of ​​friendship, peace and cooperation Sea Sea", which indicates that both the desired effect the interest of the Philippines, but also wanted to avoid war. Analysts believe that the pressure in neighboring countries, the Philippines will converge in the short term their behavior. But in the long run, the Philippines, to oil interests, and its expansionist ambitions in the South China Sea will not be terminated.

Command personnel can develop a real-time control, "Predator" for photographic and video surveillance. Edit this paragraph Evolution of the situation and model equipment A total of 60 Air Force "Predator", he said that if funded, the Air Force will purchase more planes. March 2002 U.S. Air Force officially formed the first armed type "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle squadron. The armed forces planned 20 aircraft equipment type "Predator", will be the 11th Reconnaissance Squadron and 15th Indiana, Nevada, Springfield, stationed with the alternate airport, and in 2005 reached full operational capability. New members of the forces transferred from the existing two squadrons, while training some new players. U.S. Air Force procurement in fiscal 2003 was 25, 139 million. Fiscal year 2004 procurement of 16 "predators", value $ 210,000,000. U.S. Air Force in fiscal year 2005 beginning Oct. 1, will receive 9 "Predator", worth 147 million. Predator UAV May 1998, "Predator" System Block 1 upgrade program began. Improvements include a system for reducing the system to work, making reconnaissance information from loss within the system to provide air traffic control voice relay confidential, Ku-band satellite tuner and the Air Force mission support system. March 2001, "Predator-B" 001 UAV flight. The project includes three different structures of aircraft. "Predator" B001 equipped with a General Electric Company's TPE-331-10T turboprop engine, the take-off weight of 2,900 kg, can carry 340 kg of load, the height of 15,200 meters to 370 km / hour speed cruise flight. Currently being made "Predator" B002 Unit will use a single Williams FJ44-2A company turbojet engine, about 18,300 m in height of 500 km / hour speed flight. The flight tests conducted in the fall of 2001. "Predator" B series models ALTAIR will last for scientific and commercial purposes, needs to have a larger load capacity and a ceiling of 15,850 meters. ALTAIR will be equipped with General Electric turboprop engines. It can also perform various tasks for Atmospheric Research, and via satellite to the data collected in real time sent. November 2001 the U.S. Air Force ordered two "Predator" B. Such as change the engine, B model than the basic pattern of high purchase price, and maintenance of equipment is different but the same ground station. After comparing the U.S. "Predator" B and "Global Hawk", and finally chose the "Predator" B. "Predator" base model priced at 2.5 to 4.5 million U.S. dollars, between "Global Hawk" per aircraft in the 45 million to 50 million U.S. dollars between. "Predator" B can carry eight "Hellfire" anti-tank missiles, the base type can only carry two. B-able height of 5,000 meters to 10,000 meters in height between the mission, which is about twice the basic pattern. Flying three times the speed of the base type. The next step of the plan also includes launching FIM-92 "Stinger" short-range air defense missile tests. General Atomics has recently received a follow-up contract worth $ 3,900, and then production of seven for the Air Force Predator. Another seven are still under production contract being proposed. In addition, "to send images from the UAV to the fighter," the test is also conducted. Using a drill fitted with UHF and VHF radio communication equipment, "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles to relay communications, real-time video images transmitted from the ground to the Anglo-American combat aircraft. October 2004, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., a fuel-driven by the HFE "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles has been successfully flight, the Army's bid for the company specializes in extended-range multi-purpose (ERMP) UAV project developed the "Warrior (Warrior)" lay a solid foundation for UAV. The company intends to provide the Army's "Warrior" UAV is based on "Predator" variant of the long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles unmanned combat aircraft, the Army used its power installations in the type of fuel. Company official said, HFE power plant can reduce maintenance costs and increase service life. Edit this paragraph Operational use Predator has been in use since the beginning on the continuous emergence in Europe and Southeast Asia. Edit this paragraph Actual performance Predator in 1996 took part in the Bosnian Asia Peacekeeping. Predator in Kosovo, out of 50 in the vehicles. . September 2001 claimed that Iraq shot down a "predator." "Predator" is also involved in combat operations in Afghanistan, said a "predator" find Osama bin Laden's car, but because of delays in decision-making ground commanders, missing the target. A month later, a "Predator" back of the success of a senior officer of the hiding place of Osama bin Laden's real-time video signal, and then more F-15E aircraft bombed the area, killing the officer. In October 2001, "Predator," the first missiles in combat destroying a Taliban tank. March 2003, "Predator" started carrying two AGM-114K "Hellfire" Ⅱ laser-guided anti-tank missiles, the implementation of the destruction of Iraq's ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft guns of the task itself. NATO April 23, 2011, said in a statement, around 11 GMT, the U.S. military intervention of an unmanned aerial vehicle, the western city of Libya, Misurata a nearby multi-barrel rocket launchers have been destroyed. [1] Since the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles in use today, the U.S. Air Force has lost more than 20 aircraft. Edit this paragraph Armed exposure process "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle was affectionately known as "just installed the Austrian glider racing engines." "Predator" in 1995 and put into operational use. Since then, "Predator" to continue to add new capabilities, these capabilities enable the design of the UAVs were initially surprised. By the San Diego General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. designs, "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle has been in service for 16 years. For the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle named after several changes in the past, but the prototype is called the "RQ-1"; later armed of the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles known as "MQ-1". Three types of people in promoting the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle has completed the process of multi-tasking capabilities play an important role, in order to complete the multi-mission unmanned aerial vehicles has increased the capacity of its laser pointer, and the "hell fire" ( Hell fire) missile. The first Air Force chief of staff people, including several sessions in which General John P · first friends made the greatest contribution. The second category of people is not known, but the Pentagon has a significant influence office, the office was known as chief of staff of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance A2/A2U office. Office of the Director is James G. Clark. James G · Clark, retired Air Force colonel, has done the pilot, had been known as the "snake" nickname. His official title is the Air Force ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) systems of innovation and the UAV task force director. The third category is the main advocate of the Air Force Material Command's "Great Crusade" planning office of the people, "the Great Crusade," the Air Force Office of Planning is responsible for managing the development of a number of special purpose aircraft. Over the years, members of the armed forces and the Intelligence Committee, has greatly promoted the development of each component of the system. "Predator" UAV first flight was in 1994, when as an advanced concept technology demonstration projects. In 1995, the "Predator" unmanned aircraft in NATO operations in the prototype demonstrated its capacity. Initially the Army is leading the project, but in 1996, its responsibilities are transferred to the Air Force. Then deployed to Albania, "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles to participate in a "joint efforts to action." That operation is among the Air Force Chief of Staff General Ronald R · Fergus Salman Colonel Clark was selected to assess the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle operations. Clark observed that motor racing in the United States Association of transformation of the trailer control console controls the UAV pilots. UAV video images to color images and infrared reconnaissance back to the control center. This gives Clark a very deep impression, he wrote a full report on the affirmative, this time he wanted and "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle's dealings on this end. His "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles made until three years later. April 2, 1999, he received a call from Michael E · General Ryan on "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles in the phone, he has become following the Fergus Air Force chief of staff, after Salman. Episode of war On the phone, told Ryan Clark, first friends (in the U.S. Air Force commander in Europe) has been informed of his need to "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles with precise geographical location information to provide the ability to detect, so as to target the objectives. In modern war, first by Michael C · friends in the General appointed Special Master in European and American military commander of the 16th Air Division. In a special master and his son, an A-10 pilots, the conversation that despite the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle operator can see the target being detected, but still no effective method of instruction to the target aircraft. This usually lead to "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle operators and fighter pilot, the target must be lengthy and inefficient communication. Ryan very supportive of UAVs. In 1995, as commander of NATO's southern airspace, he was the 16th Air Force pilots and the Republic of Bosnia, the NATO air force commander. Is the case, Ryan saw the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles in the "well-force operations" in the first performance. The commander was impressed by the tremendous value of UAVs, like the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles UAVs that can be used in very dangerous for manned missions, without having to worry about possible loss of pilots. In fact, Ryan had the RQ-1 as a combat search and rescue an important part, is looking to be shot down by Bosnian Serbs, the French pilots. Ryan Clark sent to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Italy Weiqin Cha synthetic air operations center responsible for the "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle has a target measurement capabilities. At that time, "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles flying in Kosovo, 24 hours a day to find the enemy. The principle of the current requirements in the fight against the war before the front of the air control personnel must be visually find the target. A major problem is the terrain, buildings and other features similar to the pilot is difficult to accurately understand the target location. Pilot contract will have an orange roof as a landmark, but they flew over a large area with the orange roof. Clark turned to Ohio's Wright - Patterson Air Force Base, led by William Grimm's "Great Crusade" office for assistance. "Great Crusade" office to the scientific analysis of weapons systems, procurement and logistics pragmatic approach known. Among its many responsibilities, "the Great Crusade," the office is also responsible for specific tasks to improve the flight, such as the RC-135 "Rivet" reconnaissance aircraft, MC-130E "Combat claw", EC-130H "Compass" and some other secret projects . At any time, "the Great Crusade," the office is responsible for up to 24 items acquisition, logistics support up to 50 aircraft. "Great Crusade" office can also provide recommendations to use a camera and laser pointer functionality with sensors instead of "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle sensor camera. This will "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle of NATO F-16 fighter jets precise point between the target data transmission. The speed of things to be the magic. In the proposal through the 18 hours after the Navy obtained from the laser designator. Was soon tested, and the first aircraft equipped with laser pointer, "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicle after 38 days in the deployment t
