Recently, China and Vietnam and Philippines in the South China Sea dispute intensified, the situation continues to heat up, particularly among the most intense in the Vietnam Sea dispute. In order to compete for the South China Sea resources with the needs of Vietnam in recent years through active introduction of foreign advanced equipment, navy and air force strength is also growing rapidly. Then the current strength of the Vietnamese Navy, how?And how about its ability to control the South China Sea? NetEase will be the exclusive interpretation of the military.



Money in Vietnam to Russia in 2009 ordered six Kilo 636 submarines. Pictured are sailing in shallow water in the Kilo 636 submarines.
Recent news that the Vietnamese Navy procurement of the first two cheetah-class frigates have been delivered, after the first one has formally joined in March this year, the Vietnamese Navy. "Cheetah" class frigate is mainly used independently or participate in task forces against surface ships, submarines and air target task. Displacement of 1930 tons (full load), length 102 meters, maximum speed is 23, capable of carrying a "Ka-28" or "Card -31" Navy helicopters, equipped with full firepower. Leopard class frigate of the Navy in Vietnam coastal service marks the mobile operations to a new level.

At the same time, Vietnamese Defense Minister, has recently confirmed at the Shangri-La Dialogue held in Vietnam to Russia to purchase six Kilo-636 submarines issue. Kilo-class submarines in Russia's arms trade quality products, also has a good reputation on the world, the overall performance of more advanced, with good quiet nature, enjoy the "ocean black hole" in the title.The procurement project from 2009, the total value of more than $ 3 billion.

Also in 2010 the Navy in Vietnam to spend $ 600 million increase to the order of 20 Russia can launch anti-ship missiles Su-30MK2 fighters, there are news reports, Russia has already delivered its increase in Vietnam ordered the first four Su 30MK2 fighters. Su Su-30MK2 is 30MKK multi-role fighter for the early improvement of the technical improvement of models, whether in electronic devices or weapons on board to be more than the latter.

Vietnamese naval arms purchase in recent years on the big move, the objective for the rapid growth of Vietnamese naval power, which also marked the Navy in Vietnam is moving forward from the inshore to offshore their operations change.




Vietnam, respectively, in surface ships in the introduction of a poisonous spider from the Russian missile boats, and cheetah-class frigates. The picture shows the cheetah-class frigates, the Navy ship in Vietnam is already a large warships.
The introduction of a poisonous spider class missile boats, frigates and cheetah

As the comprehensive national strength is weak, so the Navy in Vietnam has been relatively slow, the current weakness of the Vietnamese Navy, to light the main ship-based small combat ships and these ships are mostly the 1970s and 1980s the former Soviet aid, some even before legacy of the old American South Vietnam Navy equipment. These ships are mostly dilapidated, with the original manufacturer already discontinued, so lack of spare parts, including relatively large surface combat ships of the former Soviet Union's five other best-class frigates, the displacement of about 1,200 tons. The former Soviet Union do good grade is mainly used for naval coastal anti-submarine and its weapons only artillery and anti-submarine torpedoes, no anti-ship missile, it is also very limited combat capability in modern naval combat capability is very limited, so in 1988, 3.14 Nansha sea ​​battle, when the Vietnamese navy, is in the initial stage of modernization of the Chinese Navy, is still vulnerable to attack.

In the 1990s, with the Vietnamese "reform and opening" policy put forward, Vietnam has seen rapid economic development, comprehensive national strength has improved to some extent, in this case, the Vietnamese naval weapons and equipment has also been some updates, including the introduction of the Russian-class missile boats and other poisonous spider combat ships, equipped with a KH-35 anti-ship missiles and other more advanced weapons and equipment, a range of 130 km. With the increasing level of other good old, while the Vietnamese Navy's coastal waters in order to increase mobile combat capability, the Navy in Vietnam has introduced the two cheetah-class missile frigates, and there may be assembled in another two.

Leopard class frigates are equipped with equipped with SIGMA-E tactical data processing system, which controls weapons and equipment including; 2 4 mounted KH-35 anti-ship missiles launched aircraft, an OSA-MA dual-mounted air-ship missile frame (Beitan 20) an AK-176 type 76 mm gun and two AK-630 short-range defense system, anti-submarine system by the MGK-335EV-03 anti-submarine sonar and two 533 mm anti-submarine torpedo launchers and a 12 RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launchers, in addition to cheetah-class frigates are also equipped with a Ka-28 helicopter, you can perform anti-submarine and missile guidance and other tasks following the relay.

Leopard class frigate with a strong attack on the sea, certain air defense and anti-submarine defense capability is the Navy's surface fleet and the recent Vietnam's flagship, the tactic may be to the Vietnamese Navy ships and missile boats of the class with the use of the former which provides guided instructions and relay, and to provide air defense and anti-submarine protection in order to improve the Vietnamese Navy, coastal / sea assault capability.


Limited due to the economic strength, the Vietnamese side in the sea air strikes and underwater focus on building combat power. The picture shows the Vietnamese naval equipment Su 30MK2 fighters.
Focus on building the air force combat and underwater warfare

As medium-sized surface ships is expensive, with Vietnam's economic strength is still very limited in the foreseeable future, a large number of Vietnamese are difficult to purchase a larger surface ships, so the Vietnamese troops on the main sea and underwater combat capabilities of air below . 3.14 Nansha in the year after the war, Vietnam, the Su-22 attack planes moved to the south, at a time when the Chinese navy's air defense capability is weak, had to temporarily retreat. After entering the new century, the Chinese Navy "Chinese Aegis" and other new ship after another service, which is equipped with a new phased array radar detection distance, control large areas, can deal with several groups of target capacity, a new long range ship-air missiles, powerful, high precision, has formed a relatively complete maritime air defense system, so Vietnam has stepped up attacks on capacity building for the sea.

In recent years, Vietnam has purchased from Russia for about 20 Su-30MK2 fighter-bombers. Su-30MK2 with NO01VEP radar for fighter-sized target detection range of 110 km, in the air mode can be guided 2 R-77E air to air missile attack two targets simultaneously, in the sea attack mode, you can launch KH-59MK , KH-31A anti-ship missiles, etc.. The former range over 200 kilometers a greater threat, and can be equipped with KH-31P anti-radiation missile air defense suppression mission execution, Su-30MK2 with a strong independent operational capability, equipped with TKS-2-27 data link, can form a 16 network consisting of joint maritime air combat system, which target detection capability is limited in Vietnam has a strong practical significance.

In addition to purchase Su-30MK2, Vietnam, another relatively large arms purchases are purchasing 6 636 "Kilo" class submarine, the submarine is equipped with MVU-110EM tactical data processing system, which connected the detection system includes an integrated MGK-400 sonar operations, MPK-50E-sea search radar and electronic warfare systems. MGK-400 on which the potential detection range of up to 20 km to 80 km for surface ships, weapons include anti-submarine torpedoes and 533 mm anti-submarine missiles. This is because of the limited national strength in terms of Vietnam, the strategic direction of their marine construction for a long period of time is still "air, submarine, fast" based.




Vietnam is most lacking is a wide range of target detection systems. The picture shows the type of Vietnam M-28 patrol aircraft, its life, the detection performance and other properties are low.
Vietnam lacks a wide range of target detection system

Vietnam, although in recent years a number of more advanced procurement of weapons, these weapons are not into the system, thereby limiting its overall combat capability. Most lacking in the current situation in Vietnam is a wide range of target detection systems. Prior to purchase gems in Vietnam when the shore-ship missiles, Chinese and other Western media, the missile is on how to advocate, but they ignore the Vietnamese lack the ability to support offshore exploration gem close to 300 km range missile. For weapon systems, we must first detect the target before the attack, but for a country's navy, if you want to have long distance on the combat capability, but also need a wide range of target detection system for support.

At present, the Vietnamese Navy's maritime surveillance capability mainly by Polish M-28 maritime patrol aircraft to provide, which is a light transport aircraft -28 Soviet security based on the modified small-scale maritime patrol aircraft, only 1,500 km of its range, crew of 6 people, equipped with ARS-400 radar detection range of 160 kilometers, ARS-400 target information can be obtained through the CCS-400 airborne command and control system using the data processing chain transfer to the ground command and control system. But the whole point of view, M-28's life, the detection system performance and other properties are low and difficult to complete a wide range of target detection task, and in case of war without air superiority, this aircraft is difficult to implement sea combat missions.




The current number of Vietnamese navy old equipment is simply not equipped with data link terminals, which in their joint combat capability of the modern battlefield is almost zero. The picture shows many of the old Vietnamese naval surface ships and equipment.
Purchased weapons data link standard different

Another is the lack of the ability of Vietnamese joint network operations system is inadequate, for now, only the Vietnamese Navy purchased a few new weapons and equipment such as cheetah-and Su-30MK2 and other data link equipped with Russian-made, can form a certain scale joint network operations systems, but the M-28 maritime patrol aircraft used is the NATO standard of LINK-11 data link, so the interoperability between the two problems that still exist.

Many old data link terminal equipment does not

More importantly, many older Vietnamese Navy is currently simply are not equipped with weapons and equipment data link terminals, and the modern battlefield is increasingly broad, to participate in armed services, increasingly, a variety of combat units are located in a vast battle space, the need for strong measures will connect together to form the exchange and sharing of battlefield information, in order to play the overall combat capability, from the Vietnamese Navy is currently related to the system level, to carry out modern joint network operations probably still have a long distance to go.

Lack of the South China Sea charts and information on sea conditions

Restrict the implementation of Vietnam's offshore naval combat capability and a short board is its marine research capacity is weak. Direction in the marine operations for a variety of weapons and equipment, it needs to know the theater details meteorology, geology, sea conditions and other information in order to better combat missions, due to the ever-changing marine geology and meteorology, the need for a long time relative to region surveys and data accumulation, so as to a variety of operations for the Navy to provide environmental forecasts, investigation and long-term weather forecast channel support.

A simple example is the U.S. Navy's January 8, 2005 in Los Angeles, nuclear submarine hit a mountain near Guam event. The cause of the accident is because of sea charts related information is not timely updated, and Guam is a U.S. Navy operation for nearly a century of strategic location, near the sea can say this well aware of the sound, which is why the world's major countries to keep the Navy large-scale oceanographic survey fleet, the main reason. From now, the Vietnamese Navy's oceanographic survey capabilities is weak, the accumulation of relevant skills and information is not overnight, so for the Vietnamese navy, to achieve strategic transformation there is a lot to do, this is not one or two weapons procurement equipment can be resolved.




Vietnam has also realized the lack of combat system, is also through the efforts of all parties to strengthen the construction. The picture shows the newspaper that the delegation has recently visited the Paris Air Show on the C295 exhibited early warning aircraft.
For the newspaper to strengthen early warning system study

Relevant information from the current point of view, Vietnam is clearly also noted that these problems are also an attempt to compensate for these shortcomings, the most recent news is that the Vietnamese military delegation visited the Paris Air Show, on the EADS C-295 airborne early warning aircraft have expressed strong interest in machine is equipped with the Israeli company Elbit active phased array radar, with a strong detection capabilities.

Similar to S-100 AWACS working height at 7,000 meters calculation, the radar line of sight about 300 km, for the Navy in Vietnam, if access to such early warning aircraft, will significantly improve its theater air and sea target detection capability. If we can solve the C-295 and Su-30MK2 and cheetah-class frigates and other weapons data link connectivity problems, will allow Vietnam combat capability at sea to a new level.

Operational system development requires adequate financial strength for relying on

But with Vietnam's current economic strength of the operational capability to complete the system of the building, and easy, the first capital investment is a big problem, although the C-295 known as the economic early warning aircraft, but the price might well be billions of dollars, and want to maintain a continuous theater of detection and monitoring, need 4-6 aircraft, in addition to taking into account the logistical support, training, establishment of operating system, etc. These are also cost a lot of money. For Vietnam in the bulk purchase of Su-30MK2 and Kilo-class submarines in the case, whether the burden may have to play a question mark? This actually reflects the small country to establish a complete combat system faces problems.


July 28, 2009, the United States on F-35C line-off ceremony highlighting the development of its multi-national characteristics, but in fact the aircraft independently developed by the United States is almost complete, other countries, even the F-35's ability to repair no.
While some high-tech weapons and increasing the threshold is low, such as guided bombs, the original equipment only developed countries can now give a general-purpose bombs equipped with GPS / INS guidance components, its cost may also one million dollars, the fight against accuracy is greatly improved, however, to play While satellite-guided bombs must have the GPS constellation, and general-purpose bombs or bomb is no different, but in order to build, improve, maintain a complete GPS constellation, the needed economic and technological strength of the large, let alone the general state is also unable to afford a moderately developed country, so many small countries, although outsourcing can be achieved through advanced weaponry, but due to lack of the necessary infrastructural support system, it can issue theperformance also play a big question mark.

In fact the U.S. is to be achieved in other countries, the impact of military strength and control, the most obvious example is the F-35 fighter, developed a type of stealth combat aircraft, it is very difficult, elusive and general state, in many countries is through joined the JSF project stealth combat aircraft to cross the threshold, but the lack of relevant technology base, do not know the relevant measures for the performance of stealth aircraft, even in these countries for the F-35 is difficult to do regular maintenance, so the United States This demands that all F-35 fighters should be sent to areas controlled by the United maintenance center for maintenance, especially the part related to stealth technology is to be completed only by the Americans, even the closest allies of the British American is true, as well as the Royal Navy publicly complained that "when the return of the Royal Navy JSF aircraft carrier, at least we know how to maintain it."



Although Vietnam in recent years, a lot of money in advanced equipment purchased, but the lack of support for the country's combat system. Thus, although the Vietnamese now occupy a lot of Nansha Islands, but it is actually a lack of emergency control. As a developing country, Vietnam, in fact, did not have enough economic and technological strength to create a complete operational system.

For Vietnam, its procurement of new weapons and equipment aimed more as a bargaining chip to use. This is why, despite the recent problems in the South China Sea, menacing, and ultimately return to the negotiating table of the root causes.

Pakistani Ambassador: Pakistan was not invited to China to build a base in Gwadar

Core Tip: For foreign reports of Pakistan invite China to build a naval base in Gwadar the issue. Pakistan Ambassador to China Masood Khan said Pakistan is indeed grateful for China-aided Gwadar Port, but he did not hear the Gwadar port will become China's naval base in the Persian Gulf say.


Data for: Pakistan Gwadar simulation diagram.

The Voice of China "News" reported recently, the Persian Gulf, a small port - Gwadar port to become the world's attention. Foreign media reports, Pakistan invite China to take over the management of the port, and into China's naval base. The news came out, talking about Western countries. So the status of Sino-Pakistani military cooperation, what is? What other potential bilateral cooperation to be developed? The Chinese Voice reporter interviewed the Pakistani Ambassador to China Masood Khan.

Gwadar is a Singapore business we hope that China will be involved

Ambassador Masood Khan: higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea, than the steel hard, sweeter than honey.

This reporter saw Ambassador Masood Khan, he told reporters that the first paragraph. For the China-Pakistan friendship, he sincerely said that China-Pakistan friendship, "higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea, than the steel hard, sweeter than honey." Pakistan, one of China's western neighbor, as with China's traditional friendship and strong , the Chinese netizen called "iron bar." Not long ago, Pakistani Prime Minister Gilani's visit to China, once again let people feel the friendship and cooperation between China and Pakistan.Gilani's visit to China, even to foreign reports, Pakistan appreciated the Chinese government aided Gwadar port, if China agreed to build a naval base in Gwadar, Pakistan will be more grateful. However, Ambassador Masood Khan said in an interview, confirmed that the first phrase saying that Pakistan is indeed grateful to the port built with Chinese aid, but he did not hear the Gwadar port will become China's naval base in the Persian Gulf say.

Ambassador Masood Khan: the first phrase is to say, but I do not remember the second half of our officials have said. Gwadar is indeed China to help build, the construction is very professional, which is the Chinese people give the gift of the people of Pakistan, we are very grateful, and hope China will be more closely involved in active cooperation and infrastructure cooperation among the Navy. Currently, Gwadar is a Singapore business, but we hope that China will participate, because the Chinese are familiar with it.

Pakistan Embassy in the conference room, hung with China and Pakistan flag.Ambassador Masood Khan, Pakistani cooperation course of time, especially military cooperation, the famous Xiaolong fighter project is a model of military cooperation between countries:

Ambassador Masood Khan: "Fierce Dragon" fighter in Pakistan we call "Lightning" fighter, this cooperative project is a result of Pakistani military cooperation, which is great fighter, can rival the world's best fighters. We want to expand this cooperation to other military fields. Of course this is just an example of our successful cooperation, we have created with the main battle tanks, at present, we also have cooperation in early warning aircraft.

Ambassador Masood Khan that the U.S. is not wise to reduce military aid to Pakistan

As important countries in South Asia, Pakistan, located in the South Asian subcontinent west, north Afghanistan, the south Indian Ocean, the geographical importance is evident. Especially since the war in Afghanistan, this location also makes it an important battlefield against terrorism. May 1 this year, Osama bin Laden after the U.S. military killed in Pakistan anti-terrorism dilemma: on the one hand, the United States long accused Pakistan of harboring Osama bin Laden; the other hand, terrorist extremists threatened to retaliate, and once in July, the U.S. military will According to the plan began to withdraw from Afghanistan, Pakistan's anti-terrorism worried about the future. Ambassador Masood Khan said: Pakistan's anti-terrorism campaign will be in the end, and not rely solely on anti-terrorism military actions.

Ambassador Masood Khan: military means should not be the only means, there are other channels, especially dialogue, is still the same base and the Taliban in Afghanistan last-ditch dialogue, the United States now recognizes this. The most fundamental is the development, the eradication of terrorism and extremism breed soil.

Reduce the threat against a recent U.S. military aid to Pakistan, Ambassador Masood Khan believes that this decision is not wise:

Ambassador Masood Khan: Pakistan and the United States also has military cooperation, we are partners to reduce aid to Pakistan, such a decision is not prudent, does not conform to America's own interests.

Pakistan have yet to fully tap the economic and trade cooperation

All along, the military cooperation between China and Pakistan praiseworthy man, but for economic and trade exchanges and not many people know.Economic and trade cooperation between China and Pakistan mainly in the oil and gas exploration, transportation infrastructure, etc., which, Ambassador Masood Khan also admitted that Pakistan is still far from economic cooperation to meet the level.

Ambassador Masood Khan: the potential of our economic and trade cooperation has yet to be fully tapped. Pakistan is the most important economic cooperation port construction, infrastructure construction, agriculture, and Pakistan FTA, we have to pick a card from a free trade area, we hope to build two ports for the FTA. In these circumstances, the most important is that we must recognize that Pakistan has already become a hub, a trade and investment hub, but also a cultural hub, between China and West Asia, China and the Middle East, and China and in South Asia .

Ambassador Masood Khan told reporters on the eve of an interview at a time when seventy-one, he has, through the reporter's microphone to congratulate the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party.

Ambassador Masood Khan: I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China has made unprecedented achievements in world history no country in such a short period of time to achieve such rapid development, but also very stable. At this time, the Chinese Communist Party should be proud, and believe there will be a brighter future.

United States announced the national counter-terrorism strategy will focus on combating al-Qaeda

Core Tip: U.S. government announced the national counter-terrorism strategy, the focus will be positioned in the fight against terrorism, "base" organization and the prevention of domestic terrorist threat on the homeland security.Under the strategy announced by the White House, the U.S. claimed that Iran, Syria, Lebanon, "Hezbollah" and Hamas' support of terrorism "countries and organizations of the United States pose a security threat.


Data Figure: U.S. soldiers combat exercise

The U.S. government announced 29 national counter-terrorism strategy, the focus will be positioned in the fight against terrorism, "base" organization and the prevention of domestic terrorist threat on the homeland security.

Under the strategy announced by the White House, the U.S. claimed that Iran, Syria, Lebanon, "Hezbollah" and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and other "sponsors of terrorism" countries and organizations of the United States pose a security threat, but the "base "Organization of the United States and its branches constitute the most significant direct threat to this strategy as" special care "of the object. In addition to "base" organization, a native of the United States against terrorists is the key.

This strategy will defeat the "base" organization positioned as the ultimate goal. Specifically: by enhancing and strengthening the protective measures to reduce the weaknesses of Homeland Security; around the world against the "base" organization; lower "base" leadership ability; to eliminate the "base" of the safe harbor; counter the "base" of the ideology ; cut off the "base" of financial resources, logistical support and on-line contact, and to ensure that the "base" will not be weapons of mass destruction.

Announcing the strategy, Obama's homeland security and counter-terrorism adviser, John Brennan, said this strategy marks the first time the U.S. counter-terrorism efforts of the local community as the most important "battleground."He said the national counter-terrorism strategy is part of Obama's national security strategy, the development of counter-terrorism strategy is intended to ensure that the interests of national security, foreign policy, it does not play a defined role.

Brennan said that Obama's starting point to develop counter-terrorism strategy is pragmatic and does not propose a new conceptual ideas, but rather the results achieved over the past 10 years, the policies and practices, in which all the content in the past two and a half have been begun to be implemented. He said the strategy also reflects the U.S. government develop an understanding of terrorist threats in the process.

In recent years, the United States suffered a series of attempted domestic terrorist attacks. September 11, 2009, was trained in Pakistan and other Qi Najib Raza who attempted to attack the New York subway 3; May 1, 2010, The New York Times Square, attempted car bomb attack occurred.

Yang Xiaolong chief engineer: the country's most important models are being developed

Core Tip: Recently Xiaolong Yang as chief engineer in the two-seat F-10 series aircraft, the "Fierce Dragon" model aircraft and other key research task to play an important role, especially for the development of a new type of aircraft and flight made make a significant contribution to the success has been in the Air Group's recognition.
 
Yang has served as the chief architect of key national model.

AVIC party recognition decision, described the man: he was the chief architect of several models of aircraft, long-term struggle in the design, trial production line, to lead the development team to be creative and to tackle tough, two-seat F-10, etc. series aircraft, the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft and other key research task models play an important role, especially for a new type of aircraft development and successful flight to make a significant contribution to achieve our self-air weaponry history of innovation of a new leap forward ... ...

Early June, just in Izmir, Turkey aerial stunts to expose the "Fierce Dragon" and recently appeared in the 49th Paris Air Show.

Only by the Chinese design, jointly developed with Pakistan's hawk, in recent years, "Red" was some envy, frequently "faceless" world's major air show. Of the "fans" who's crazy scream, which represents calm. Because it has long been accustomed to such scenes.

Whenever this time, it is the chief architect of Yang, and my heart will always be a different kind of satisfaction. He and his team, with countless boring drawings, procedures, tests, reports and programs to form the wings of a dream, is to chase it with calm blue sky.

One morning not long ago, in the China Aviation Industry Group Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute research building, while Yang dialogue with the Science and Technology Daily reporter, while pick up the aircraft model, very much at home to open the mount, landing gear, door ... and he The story started slowly.

"No matter what the difficulties, he will be full of confidence, duty-bound to strive to achieve."

The afternoon of April 27, China Aviation Industry Group headquarters, a man for a while at the awards ceremony was held.

Group's leadership in full to the meeting, party in the aircraft industry recognition decision, described the man: he was the chief architect of several models of aircraft, long-term struggle in the design, trial production line, to lead the development team to be creative and to tackle tough , two-seat F-10 series aircraft, the "Fierce Dragon" model aircraft and other key research task to play an important role, especially for a new type of aircraft development and flight to make a significant contribution to the success achieved in China Airlines weapons capability of independent innovation of a historic leap ... ...

Yes, he is the Yang.

The 40-year-old man with his persistence and talent to win the "innovation in the aircraft industry leading young talents," the honorary title, he is the first in the aircraft industry, is currently the only person so honored.

"Yang as long as a clear objective, no matter what the difficulties, he will be full of confidence, duty-bound to strive to achieve." F-10 aircraft designer Yang Song Cong full of confidence, tenacity appreciation for me.

In 1978, the 15-year-old Yang honors exceptional admission by Northwestern Polytechnical University, from a close relationship with the air; 22-year-old graduate school, he entered the aircraft industry in Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute, officially opened by the blue sky dream voyage.

The fall of 1985, just to work for the development of China's Yang was assigned to the third generation of fighters and set up a special laboratory, the laboratory's mission is clear: to break one of the key third-generation fighter - advanced digital fax flight control system. Yang quickly assume this responsibility.

Three months later, the Institute established a new research group 4 to determine the structure of the flight control system, which is a blank in the country. Yang was promoted to team leader. Was to institute a five-month post-graduate, and thus began to work independently.

He led the group of scientists with new ideas to overcome a series of key technologies, system-wide implementation of the principles of digital simulation and experiment, to break the blockade of foreign technology.

Core Tip: Recently Xiaolong Yang as chief engineer in the two-seat F-10 series aircraft, the "Fierce Dragon" model aircraft and other key research task to play an important role, especially for the development of a new type of aircraft and flight made make a significant contribution to the success has been in the Air Group's recognition.
Look at him -

Successfully developed under a comprehensive dynamic ground test facilities, "the iron bird table", which is an integrated flight control simulation test simulation test facilities, to fill the gaps;

Developed under the F-10 integrated simulation training systems and integrated automatic detection system, creatively put forward the whole task configuration, multi-level configuration, series development, design, to achieve a high fidelity combat environments stand-alone training, networking and co-operation combat training;

As the chief architect of the flight control system, successfully presided over the completion of all third-generation advanced fighter permission axis four redundant, digital fax flight control system development, and its high reliability, a large number of troops.

Test pilot highly: "The flight control system performed well, flying qualities are one!"

... ...

In 1998, the 35-year-old Yang Song Cong by the chief architect of the commission model, overall charge of the F-10 aircraft design optimization, troubleshooting and other front-line research and design development work setting. He led the researchers through a lot of research and analysis about the use of optimal combinations of test programs and requirements, so that greatly reduced the number of stereotyped flight gear, cycles shorten. At the same time rapid analysis of flight test data, and continuously explore and further develop an effective test program.

It is, therefore, F-10 aircraft in our military history of the creation of a "shape then, when mass troops," the record.

"As a designer, one must focus on the general direction and, more to begin to implement"

Autumn is strong. Trial site. Ground test the fuel system failure so we had an unexpected added touch of chill.

Chief Yang heard the news immediately rushed to the scene, joined by ministers, directors and technical experts troubleshooting, analysis team. He looked dignified: "I never thought experiment started, give us a played rough. Win it, we must have faith!" While still a business trip the next morning, but he still ranked it in the field guide to the night. Business trip, he has been thinking in the analysis, and the initial formation of the program.

A day later, Yang returned to teach travel directly to the scene. He used to eat just half an hour carefully read the technical report, then listen carefully to the professional backbone of the analysis, and failure causes in depth with them, immediately proposed to improve the program.

In fact, whenever and Yang have worked with people who have experiences: aerodynamic and flight control background, he is also expert in other fields.From the plane's aerodynamic design and the general principles of each system, the opening scene to the structure and system of the specific control logic, he was able to demonstrate strong language with expert engineering skill.

Edison once said: "genius, one per cent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration." We praise the wisdom of light shine Yang, in the phrase that the crux of the problem, propose solutions, behind a strategically advantageous position, helong years of painstaking study and painstaking accumulation. "Stage one minute, audience ten years." Almost midnight when the lights are always bright Yang office late. He sleepless nights, racing against time to swim in a flood of drawings, procedures, tests, reports, programs and data, the mesmerizing, this way.

"As a designer, one must focus on the general direction, but also to begin to implement the other hand, in the same time to grasp the general direction, as much as possible about each logic, each part. Innovation from the ground up." Yang Wei says, have tried to do so.

Aircraft design is large and complex interdisciplinary systems engineering, we should find out exactly what hundreds of professional easier said than done?Yang has been relying on their own hard work and persistence, like a sponge absorbing water as continuous learning, as an accurate grasp of the direction, decision-making built on a solid scientific foundation.

In recent years, several major projects in parallel model development, research staff to participate in the extraordinary will of the continuous hard work, very hard. This efficient allocation of resources, the progress of the node accurate and reasonable financial requirements, in particular the technical state of the control and management posed a great challenge.

Yang realized that the future is bound to the cluster from the unprecedented heavy task, relying only on physical strength to fight, fight to fight consuming task, difficult to sustain, can not meet the greater challenge. As the chief architect of many models, one can not encourage hard work, there must be a good approach to resource optimization.

So he actively organize large-scale weapons and equipment to create a new development of a management platform. Designers to introduce modern management systems in the concept, the establishment of flexible organization, the implementation of the design process reengineering, extensive use of digital design and other advanced means to lean and agile management as the core design and build a modern multi-project management of the new model.

Innovative development of a management model to promote the development between OEMs the technology development facilities and manufacturing technology together, to ensure the development of full range of high efficiency, high tempo run, protect the different projects in different stages of development and effective risk control management.

In the model developed, he asked the designer system must have a leading edge ideas and practical action, has the overall height, studies to determine the design approach and philosophy; always follow the principle of reasonable and efficient, selection and design software to determine the rules; focus on each detail, both from the perspective of ease of manufacture, further strengthen coordination, communication, balance, more efficient successfully developed by the successful completion of the task node.

"To create inter-generational new machine, leading the technology development, innovation and R & D system, excellent team building", the team set by Yang Chi effort, the extraordinary hard work, has shown signs of taking shape.

"Loyalty is the attitude we should have."

With the two-seater F-10 machine as a national high-tech weaponry formally approved the project, an appointment book to fly from Chengdu, Beijing, National Defense appointed Yang as chief designer of the F-10 two-seater aircraft.

At this time, Yang also received the appointment of another architect.Agreement between China and the Government of Pakistan, China and Pakistan jointly invested by the development of the new design of advanced multi-purpose "Fierce Dragon" fighter has also accelerated the pace of development, China Aviation was appointed Yang as the "Fierce Dragon" chief designer.

A model is needed by the troops of the task, an order, does not fall back wall; a project of international cooperation, market traction, reputation first.Developed two types of nodes almost simultaneously, must first flight in a relatively short period of time.

Yang led the team rose to the challenge, the mission to develop two models go hand in hand.

Two-seat F-10 aircraft in just nine months beyond the program design, preliminary design and detailed design of three phases, the success of its first flight on schedule, and designs have been finalized after two years, which is rare in our country "does not drag progress indicator did not fall, not rise funding "the troops in time of large-scale military projects.

"Fierce Dragon" aircraft from the state to freeze technology took its first flight in just 23 months, China has created a miracle in the history of aircraft development.

In April 2006, the assembly of a complete avionics system of the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft 04 successful first flight. Today, the "Fierce Dragon" has been flying out the door. 2007, 2008, the "Fierce Dragon" for two consecutive years to participate in Pakistan's National Day military parade, the highly-acclaimed.2010 and 2011, the "Fierce Dragon" took part in the Farnborough, Zhuhai, China, Turkey, Izmir Air Show, was again widely acclaimed at home and abroad.

In those days, rain or shine, for two models of successful development, Yang led his research team, a race against time, to the difficult challenges, to hold the two models developed nodes, successfully completed by many peopleconsidered to be "mission impossible."

For many questions, so he replied: "I was appointed as the chief architect of official documents, but whether it really depends on the dry official documents, I have to go all out."

"My highest ideal is to life, and his colleagues developed a more advanced fighter, the strong military might, Yang Guowei, a strong defense of the motherland, safeguard peace and reunification of the motherland to make our efforts and contributions."

Yang now bear more difficult, more important tasks of model development, and served as chief designer. When the encounter technical steep stairs, development time is running out, the mode of innovation, management platform to create a series of difficulties, he revealing the speaker's temperament, he encouraged the team: "It is precisely these difficulties, provided only reflects the value of our existence platform. I firmly believe that our police team by the wind and rain, with are aware of the tiger undeterred by the heroic courage, the wisdom has to tackle tough, we will, should cherish this hard-won opportunities withstood the test of time. "

"To take on the country's most important aviation weapons and equipment research task itself is very honorable." Yang said, "loyalty, is the attitude we should have."

Obama: no military action against Libya in violation of relevant laws

Core Tip: U.S. President Barack Obama 29 news conference at the White House for a violation of the "War Powers Act," explained the problem, U.S. government military operations in Libya to achieve its promise, did not send ground troops into Libya, but also not long to play a leading role in the operation, so did not meet the "War Powers Act," the specified limits, does not require congressional approval.


Barack Obama answer questions from reporters. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Junshe

Obama 29, said the U.S. government military operations in Libya to achieve its promise, did not violate "the War Powers Act."

Obama in the White House the same day at a news conference that the U.S. government when participating in action that would not send ground troops into Libya to determine, not long to play a leading role in the operation. He said the United States to achieve these commitments, the Libyan military action is "limited", there is no violation of "the War Powers Act."

Obama stressed that the current military action in Washington on Libya has a lot of controversy behind political objectives. He said military action against Libya, the White House sought the views of Congress.

White House and Congress now is no less controversial military action on Libya. According to the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the right to declare war, but the president is commander in chief. By 1973, according to the "War Powers Act," U.S. President in carrying out military operations must be notified within 48 hours before Congress. Without congressional authorization, the foreign military action must not exceed 60 days, but allow an additional 30 days withdrawal time. In military operations against Libya, the time limit had expired. Many Congress members that Obama ordered the U.S. military operations in Libya in violation of this provision. But the White House that the U.S. military operations in Libya assume a supporting role, did not meet the "War Powers Act," the specified limits, does not require congressional approval.

Obama made this statement the day before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed a motion to authorize the Government to carry out military operations in Libya, but prohibited ground troops into the country. The motion by Senator John Kerry and John McCain proposed, but after the passage of the Foreign Relations Committee, need the full Senate vote. Obama expressed support for the bill. House of Representatives has voted down in the 24th a similar motion.

Training for the Chinese navy on the high seas "recover Taiwan."

Core Tip: Japan, China, military experts recently Shigeo Hiramatsu, "Sankei Shimbun" the author said that since the 1970s, the Chinese naval fleet in the western Pacific through the coastal waters of Japan has carried out four times a military training or exercises, and the greater the number of warships to more. This article shows the analysis for the recovery of Taiwan, the Chinese navy's activities in the ongoing solid.

Normal training Chinese navy on the high seas in Japan recently became the most intense one of the topics discussed. Japanese politicians have said the tension at the same time, some of the media and scholars of the Chinese navy's purpose is to multiple interpretations. In addition to "fight for marine resources," "against the United States world hegemony", but recently, it was rumored in Japan, "Chinese fleet sailed offshore for 10 years after the reunification of Taiwan," the argument.

Japan, China, military experts recently Shigeo Hiramatsu, "Sankei Shimbun" the author said that since the 1970s, the Chinese naval fleet in the western Pacific through the coastal waters of Japan has carried out four times a military training or exercises, and an increasing number of ships in the South China Sea and East China Sea with military activities also aim is to reunification with Taiwan. "Currently, China is to achieve the reunification of Taiwan in 2020 after a solid action 2021 is the 100th anniversary of Chinese Communist Party, in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Good glass held high in Taipei, China is stepping up military operations at sea, of course, in order to achieve this objective, the premise is then Taiwan must become the People's Republic of Taiwan. In that case, Japan can not at sea blockade of China, which Japan should be given full attention. "

Hiramatsu also stressed that China's reunification with Taiwan's biggest obstacle is the U.S. Navy, for China from 1960 on the layout of a variety of missiles, these missiles not only point to U.S. forces in Japan around the base, but also point to Taiwan. In recent years, China has developed and equipped with a cruise missile carrier killer. These are signs that China is indeed in the lineup for the reunification of Taiwan.

For the Chinese navy's activities, the Japanese Self-Defense Force officials said vigilance and attention. Japan's NHK television network, according to news reports, the Japanese Defense Ministry chief of staff of wood off the integration before good at a press conference that in recent years, the Chinese navy in the Pacific Ocean from frequent activities, of which the future will continue to expand areas of activity, and may be normalized. To this end, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in increased vigilance and monitoring is also necessary to improve combat capability. In addition, the "Sankei Shimbun" Editorial Board Yoshihisa Goosen also publicly warned that Japan's economic aid to China, contributing to China's military development, improve China's military capabilities. Therefore, calling on Japan not to continue its assistance to China.

Recently, in the demo had just been developed large-scale military game "glorious mission", the Lance Corporal Li Xiaowei so sincerely said.

In today's Internet age, online games have become the cultural life of the young officers and men to pursue a fashion and urgent needs. Some foreign military forces in the game already developed, forming system, and is widely used in entertainment, education and training, but our military is still in the game had "blank areas", the rank and file more than entertainment to play poker, chess, Jun Qi, and other traditional benefits Chi-class chess play-based, relatively simple form and function, it is difficult to meet the officers and men of culture and entertainment needs. Nanjing Military Region, the relevant departments and Giant Network Technology Co., Ltd. Wuxi jointly developed a large-scale military game "glorious mission", this aims to military culture and entertainment for the purpose of the game, relying on the means of information technology, innovative young officers and men to meet the new era find music features, so that officers and soldiers in a virtual game environment to acquire knowledge, exercise courage, an increase of knowledge. The game idea conception, the scene environment and the role of red and blue, close to the characteristics of our set, no enemy, not against any foreign military, completely independent intellectual property rights, to fill the gaps in our military game.

It is reported that "glorious mission" to a soldier's camp life as the background, to participate in code-named "glorious mission" of the maneuvers the main line, divided into "basic training, individual task, team against the" three modules. Based training module has a military history museums, cultural centers, professional training centers, comprehensive training field, etc., through recruit training, professional training, comprehensive training program to improve combat effectiveness index, feel a strong political atmosphere and fiery camp life. Man task module based on the adversarial process of the exercise, according to a complete story line, select a confrontational and playable game levels as part of the battle, one by one through the checkpoints, to experience a virtual battlefield environment. Team against the module on the line for 32 people at the same time, both random red and blue team in the game against the selected scene, with sustained playability.

According to authorities and industry experts, the game has three distinct characteristics. First, China's first true. This game is not a simple game of foreign military finished, nor is it simply a face-lift, the game from the creative planning, modeling, program development to achieve complete self-development capabilities, with independent intellectual property rights.Second, the distinctive characteristics of our army. The game features fully integrated into the military and political, reflecting the growth process the soldiers barracks, each scene animation, voice dialogue has a strong military flavor, taste and simple soldiers, for our men. "Taste." Third, the development of leading technologies. Use a more advanced game engine as a development platform, climate, vegetation, water flow simulation of realistic scenarios such as; the use of 3D modeling technology, the screen fine, strong texture; the use of artificial intelligence, simulation, machine against the people more real smooth, entertaining . The successful development of this game, from management to reflect the forces of life, the pursuit of a more contemporary, more humanized, the rank and file will greatly active cultural and recreational life.

China's development of aircraft carriers or the western Pacific into the U.S. no-fly zone

Core Tip: According to the U.S. "Foreign Policy" magazine's website published an article that the Chinese aircraft carrier project since 2009 on the progress.China's Soviet-era "Kuznetsov" was for a modification. The article said that China as more and more dependent on imported fuel and raw materials at sea, so the positive development of aircraft carriers, and thus possible to make the western Pacific as the U.S. Navy's no-fly zone.


Data for: The article said "Kuznetsov" was the first flight will be China again become a major milestone in the country.

According to the U.S. "Foreign Policy" magazine's website published an article that the Chinese aircraft carrier project since 2009 on the progress. China's Soviet-era "Kuznetsov" was for a modification. The carrier's first flight will be China again become a major milestone in the country.

U.S. media said, in recent years, a lot of good technicians in the study of Beijing's aircraft carrier program; people have published numerous articles, signs controversial design of the aircraft: the flight deck layout, launch and recovery systems, and propulsion devices. But recognition of its strategic importance the Chinese Navy is not the latest version of the best guides, "Jane's world ships", but two thousand years ago, "History of the Peloponnesian War." This is the record of a long war between Athens and Sparta chronicle of the great Greek historian from the repair was at the end of the West Adams (Thucydides) written, that allow state and dynamic three motives as "fear, honor and interests. " People must arm themselves in order to avoid becoming "weak law of slavery should be strong," the victims; China's aircraft carrier ambitions in this respect is similar.

U.S. media said the Mao Zedong era, China's focus on land defense; subsequent years to meet China's maritime supremacy in the United States under the sail, and said the best investment of limited resources to economic development, rather than to build naval equipment. However, China's growth is increasingly dependent on imported fuel and raw materials at sea, not to mention the end product exported. Shipping channel in China's foreign policy planning has an important position. Therefore, China to the United States in the Taiwan Strait crisis or war, and elsewhere in Asian waters kidnapped China's economic interests are angry. U.S. to take more and more long-distance blockade, and block the China trade is extremely important to rely on the sea routes.

U.S. media said that China fears that the U.S. Navy will be cut off from a distance, its economic lifeline, which makes China's strategic vision to the sea.China's official media last December in an editorial described the wide range of Chinese geopolitical anxiety, the article writes: The U.S. intention to maintain their hegemony in the world, including in Asian waters; is surrounded by China to adopt a strategy of the United States separated from the "United Nations Law of the Sea Convention, "outside. Why? Article wrote, because "the U.S. exclusive economic zone that is international waters, from its hegemonic logic, international waters is its sphere of influence." Repair west end of Adams's analysis was familiar, and he found Burrow Ben Nisa war "real reason": "the growing strength of Athens and Sparta which lead to the alert," Fear makes the inevitable war between the powers. From Beijing's standpoint, agreed with the U.S. maritime hegemony will be revised as submissive West Adams was the end of his strong condemnation of the weak to obey the law.U.S. leadership may fear for their overwhelming sea power, which can help explain the reasons for China to seek a strong navy.

U.S. media said, but why specifically the development of aircraft carrier force?Beijing has deployed a formidable naval cruise missiles, designed to conflict in the Taiwan Strait or some other drastic changes, the intervention to stop the U.S. Navy. For the U.S., coupled with cruise missile submarines, ballistic missiles and land-based tactical aircraft than any Chinese carrier fleet will soon be established with more deadly. Boston College professor Robert - Rose in the "Security Watch," an article published in China to build aircraft carrier as the center of the "Navy nationalism" is all about. From this perspective, the high-end ships is a sign of power, Beijing must realize the mission of building sea power. This allows people on the construction of maritime power, and efforts to the construction of the country had a great passion.

U.S. media said, history is not important, China is still in the comfort of some marine invaders (such as the British Empire, France, Germany and Japan) it causes long-term "century of shame" of the memory. The first Opium War began in shame, the British defeated the Qing government again and again, forcing the Qing emperor to accept unequal treaties, and foreign ships patrolling rivers in China, the shame. These memories of the historic center of Asia's major powers on, it is difficult to digest. In addition, China watchers have been concerned about the United Nations Security Council, noting that the five permanent members, only China has no aircraft carriers. At home, Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force deployed light aircraft carrier, is also implicitly referred to as "helicopter destroyer"; South Korea have similar ships; Thailand have aircraft carriers. Concluded that the aircraft will enable China to become a real maritime power.

U.S. media said, however, the Chinese navy is not only nationalism; except to save the reputation of China, to catch up with their countries of equal status, there are other expectations of China's aircraft carrier; China can use force to maintain the aircraft carrier can feel the real benefits. The most obvious is that the PLA Navy aircraft carrier battle groups in the conflict from the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa Japan), or the Luzon Strait off northern Taiwan. Aircraft carrier battle group can further make Taiwan's "defense" is more complex tasks, while Taiwan is now in a desperate edge. People's Liberation Army has occupied the absolute advantage, so a carrier battle group and the Strait of war does not determine the trend. However, naval and air force units shifting east, west and concerns the transfer of the air situation, their position will be further confusion, let's Liberation Army set the course of the war. Thus, the PLA military intervention in the United States before the early advantage; Beijing dream of national unity may be achieved at the same time, ensure regional order to minimize disruption.

U.S. media said the South China Sea issue recently occupied the headlines, the Chinese insisted that sovereignty over the Nansha and Xisha islands, too small and difficult to build fortifications; aircraft carrier battle group will provide forward bases, moving the airport. Through which China can defend these islands, adjacent waters and seabed in the region rich in natural resources.Also, Beijing is the eyes shift towards the southwest, if the Chinese choose to create a permanent Indian troops, the PLA Navy aircraft carrier to allow in South Asia. Aircraft able to perform multiple functions, since World War II, these multi-mission platform has been a pioneer in the U.S. Navy operations.

U.S. media said that once the People's Liberation Army of bringing the Western Pacific into the U.S. Navy's no-fly zone, it will be able to do with the main opponents of war, to safeguard China's interests repair the West was at the end of Sri Lanka. Ground-based defense may be able to give time for the PLA Navy to train pilots, it is a complex process of learning: in 1954, the first time in a jet aircraft landing in the U.S. Navy, "Franklin-D-Roosevelt" After eight years on, despite the has developed a solid take off from aircraft carrier theory, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps still lost 776 aircraft and 535 pilots.China absolutely can not avoid these hazards, coastal defense is familiar to the Chinese navy fleet tactical aircraft engineering and test the buffer time.

U.S. media said the carrier's surrounded by security and logistical support ship, are familiar with various forms of formation, build defense network, the supply of navigation technology and so takes time. Shore fire support to the PLA in the design of aircraft carrier battle easier method, which avoids the cost of China into the United States launched a great naval arms race and uncertain danger.

U.S. media said the Chinese aircraft carrier battle will not be the only motivation for ambition; carrier can perform a large number of non-combat tasks such as: the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the Chinese authorities took note of stay in the vicinity of U.S. Navy warship is to rushed to the affected areas for rescue. In other words, hard power, soft power can be demonstrated, Beijing felt marginalized. To compensate for this deficiency, China has built for response to natural and humanitarian disasters of medical ships and amphibious ships; has a huge deck of aircraft carrier will give China's relief efforts bring additional benefits.

U.S. media said the mercy of the West was at the end of Sri Lankan non-repair task for China's maritime reputation adds luster to improve the Chinese navy's legitimacy, and thus indirectly promote its national interests. Power through charity and good performance, to appease the neighboring countries should not only their rights, but also to help aid the party to establish a wise and humane use of sea power records. International public good by showing such a large country to ease the doubts about its intentions. This will not only enable China to benefit from its Asian neighbors are also beneficial. Beijing has realized that to become a true maritime power, it must focus on and implement their own obligations.

U.S. think tank, suggested learning Russian Navy should be equipped with conventional submarines

Core Tip: American Enterprise Institute think tank recently published an article, a large increase cited the advantages of conventional submarines, the proposed reference to the Sino-Russian counterparts Navy experience, and equipment, nuclear and conventional submarines. The think tank that cut military spending in the current case, conventional submarines and cheaper, and better able to meet the U.S. Navy's current mission requirements.


White House determined to cut the defense budget in the context of the U.S. Navy's nuclear submarine force has always ranks first among the world are faced with shrinking the size of the plight of

Cut military spending difficult to support "full core" lineup, consider drawing on Russian counterparts, "mashup" experience

White House determined to cut the defense budget in the context of the powerful U.S. Navy has become the new "victim", which ranks first among the world's nuclear submarine force has been facing shrinking the size of the dilemma. How to spend less while maintaining combat effectiveness, so the U.S. Navy has become a headache problem. To this end, the U.S. Enterprise Institute think tank recently published an article, a large increase cited the advantages of conventional submarines, the proposed reference to the Sino-Russian counterparts Navy experience, and equipment, nuclear and conventional submarines.

Think tank recommended "Nuclear ride often."

The article said that the Navy needs more submarines, but to support the submarine construction project of the defense budget has been cut, in this condition, the answer to solve the problem is the development of conventional submarines. Compared with nuclear submarines, conventional submarines, cheaper, and better able to meet current mission requirements, the U.S. Navy.

During the Cold War, the U.S. Navy submarine and cruise the main implementation of deep-sea "blue water" voyage tasks; and the current task focused on coastal areas, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, the Malacca Strait, the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, such less than a hundred miles from land "green water" area. In the "green water" mission is to waters of the long-term conventional submarines, because these submarines smaller, quieter, more nuclear submarines in a closed area with more mobility. In fact, a modern diesel submarines are fully capable of quietly hidden sea, and monitor any ship from passing around. Especially the AIP (air independent propulsion) technology development and application, today's conventional submarines have been able to lurk in the water a few weeks. In short, with the gradual practice "from sea to land" strategy, the U.S. Navy does have the actual needs of the development of conventional submarines.

Not long ago, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates in his speech that the U.S. military is currently facing, "consumes more money, but the construction of the platform is less and less." Specific to the Navy, the Enterprise Institute of the article, conventional submarines can be modified to solve this problem.The article points out, with the purchase price from Germany to Turkey, $ 500 million and 212 conventional submarines cost $ 2 billion the U.S. Navy's "Virginia" class nuclear submarine comparison, "The result is very aware of the U.S. Navy is clearly no need to engage in bankruptcy of banks can improve the combat effectiveness of the submarine force. " It seems in the U.S. think tank, equipped with conventional submarines the U.S. Navy can meet current mission requirements, but also save money, it is very cost-effective development strategy.

U.S. experience in light of Russia?

In fact, the U.S. Navy has never relaxed the concern of conventional submarines. Enterprise Institute, the article said that in the past 20 years, China added 40 new Navy conventional submarines, although the U.S. Navy submarine not as active nuclear submarines, but the U.S. military is still a need to track the submarine, to find out their current implementation and will perform close to intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance, special operations, mine closures and other tasks.

Through several "close contact", the U.S. Navy for the performance of conventional submarines have a more intuitive understanding. In 2005, a joint exercise, a Swedish "Gotland" class AIP submarine had "hit" Navy "Ronald Reagan" aircraft carrier. More famous example is 2006, a Chinese Navy "Song" class conventional submarines have been deployed off the coast of Japan's "Kitty Hawk" near the surface. In addition, the U.S. Navy admitted in the past two years, they exercise in Peru and Chile to detect diesel submarines has become extremely difficult. Not difficult to see from these examples, the U.S. Navy for the performance of conventional submarines and prospects have personal experience, not turn a blind eye to their advantage.

In Enterprise Institute, the U.S. built conventional submarines will also bring additional "bonus." The article said U.S. allies and partners of conventional submarines is growing, in both the United States started the construction of conventional submarines for the U.S. to create jobs, while maintaining the operation of the shipyard. From tactical considerations, conventional submarines in the fleet increases, may provide a new house in the U.S. Navy anti-submarine training platform to effectively deal with other countries, conventional submarines to help. Article to remind the U.S. Navy, "Russia and China will bear in mind the nuclear submarines, conventional submarines into the Navy with the practice of architecture." Clearly, the U.S. Navy in their think tanks want to refer to Russia's submarine-building "nuclear and mix and match" experience.

Five machines in Japan may choose to plan faces defeat F-35

Core Tip: According to the Japanese, "diplomats" Web site June 23 Journal of the text, introduced in the United States and Russia on review of stealth fighter project, said Japan's "mind" fighter project; article that Japan can not develop indigenous stealth fighter finally, launched the "mind" to the U.S. bargaining, and ultimately to a relatively cheap price to buy from the U.S. stealth fighters.


The end of 2006, the Japanese Defense Agency Technical Research Department has ever exhibited "advanced technology demonstrator" - ATD-X "mind" was.

According to Japan's "diplomats" Web site June 23 Journal of the text, introduced in the United States and Russia on review of stealth fighter project, said Japan's "mind" fighter project; article that Japan can not develop indigenous stealth fighter eventually, launched the "mind "to the U.S. bargaining, and ultimately to a relatively cheap price to buy from the U.S. stealth fighters. Coupled with pressure from the United States to Japan, let to buy American fighter planes, the Japanese last U.S. aircraft may still be selected.

The article said that the Asia-Pacific region is China does not want an arms race, Russia can not afford, think they can not afford the United States, Japan may not be ready. Development of growing competition on the stealth fighter of the four countries the political, industrial and military have a tremendous impact, especially for Japan.

Recent developments first began in 2005, there has been an online forum fuzzy black paint aircraft pictures. Christmas last year, when China first appeared on the network the new People's Liberation Army prototype stealth fighter F -20 photos; later, more about F -20 photos and videos appeared on the Internet. A Taiwanese analysts said that if the People's Liberation Army of the aircraft engine control matching technology, the Asia-Pacific region's geopolitical landscape will change. Finally, the Chinese public about F -20 fighter. Chen Bingde chief of staff in response to a question about -20 F, said: "We do not want to use the funds to buy equipment or weapons to challenge the United States." He said, technically there is a huge gap between China and the U.S..

The article points out, the emergence of -20 F to promote the United States and Japan to accelerate their development of modern weapons, the Air Force.Lack of funds also use the two Russian T-50 prototype, planning for a decade to slow the test project. Although the government budget deficit, military spending is cut, or put a lot of dollars in Washington to improve the F-15 and F-22 fleet; also reaffirmed their commitment to the development of F-35 program, the project's total cost could exceed $ 1 trillion.

The article points out, Tokyo's response to the F -20 even more intense, this has been careful to avoid military confrontation countries made a surprise move, has been restored out of the domestic stealth fighter project. Now, the so-called "mind" of advanced technology demonstrator aircraft there exists only a narrow product size radio-controlled model, the two can not fly imitations and engines, electronic equipment and cockpit cover some of the technical aspects. Japan plans test flights in 2014 before a fully functional demonstrator. Speculation that Japan may develop after 2016, "mind" of the derivative models, with the United States and Russia can be compared to the stealth fighter. However, the more likely it is that Tokyo and the U.S. to bargain to buy relatively cheaper and more efficient U.S. stealth fighters.Cooperation with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air Self-Defense Force, launched six years ago "mind" project. At the same time, Tokyo is also trying to persuade Washington to sell Japan F-22 fighters. In 2005, Japan needed 50 fighters to replace has been used for 30 years of US-made F-4 fighters. Japan launched a labeled "FX" name of the bidding, to select a new fighter. Six years later, F-4 still in service, FX has been repeatedly postponed. Currently, there are three fighters in the race: Europe's "Typhoon", Boeing's F/A-18E/F and the F-35.

The beginning, F-22 FX in Japan needs the best solution. However, Tokyo's lobby because the United States in 2000 passed a bill becomes complicated. In order to protect U.S. technology, the Act prohibits the export of the aircraft.The "mind" is widely regarded as fighters put pressure on Tokyo to Washington, let it change the F-22 policy efforts. Japan to develop a series of actions to prove the seriousness of domestic stealth fighter, but Tokyo's stealth fighter gamble failed. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress has repeatedly refused to withdraw "Raptor" fighter of the export ban.

According to the article, Japan is unlikely to develop domestic stealth fighter; cost is the biggest factor. Tokyo realized that the production version as long as the price is too high, "mind" test machine will not be given priority. Advanced aircraft design and production is very expensive; for example, the U.S. F-35 is the most burn weapons programs, in 50 years to spend $ 1 trillion. The 1980s, Israel to lift its domestic advanced fighter project; because it realized that the aircraft will spend half of each weapon budget, and this situation to continue for many years.

"Cost" is why only a few countries to upgrade and produce their own fighters, and why only three countries in the United States and Russia create a variety of reasons for model aircraft. Japan's defense spending will still be limited to 1% of GDP, which makes the domestic aircraft programs, compared with other countries more difficult. Because the proportion of the average of 3%, while the U.S. has reached 5%. It is estimated that Japan's advanced technology demonstrator project from design, production, maintenance operations will ultimately take Japan to the $ 100 billion. Calculation of four years, which will make its annual expenditure accounted for Japan's annual $ 50 billion defense spending by 5%. Moreover, it also can produce dozens of aircraft.

In addition to cost, but also hinder the combat needs of Japan's advanced technology demonstrator project of a factor. Japan needs to replace the F-4 fighters are not many, most Japanese fighters are F-15 and F-2, still advanced enough to serve a longer period of time. FX is to replace the F-4, which means that the new aircraft should be able to fill the same role. However, this is not entirely clear "mind" is to adapt to the F-4 fighters assigned tasks.

F-22 size large, length 62 feet, a wingspan of 44 feet; which greatly determines the stealth fighter's body, because it needs air to air missiles in order to accommodate the eight comparable to F-15's payload. F-35 fighter slightly smaller, because it is only designed to carry two air to air missiles, plus two 2,000-pound bombs. The "mind" fighters length 46 feet, a wingspan of 30 feet, weighs 20,000 pounds, without fuel and weapons. For modern aircraft, it a little, not to mention in terms of a stealth fighter.

The article said that the United States to put pressure on Japan to buy U.S. stealth fighters, but also to Japan, made the project a negative impact.Lockheed - Martin has promised to share with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries F-35 production, but it is not clear is the joint production, assembling parts, or build the entire aircraft production line. In any case, more than Japan's participation in the possibility of F-22 fighters to come to the big.

Gates to put pressure on Tokyo, it selected the F-35. He said the Joint Strike Fighter is the "best fighter", is the only F-22 with equal shares; to Japan to bring so-called "fifth generation" fighter capability. If current trends continue, the Japanese-made stealth fighter to enter service in virtually no chance; more likely, it will be better than the U.S. government access to any F-35 fighters of action.

Xiaolong performances at the Paris Air flight was canceled

Core Tip: Ma Zhiping, general manager of China Aviation Technology, said in an interview with reporters because of Pakistan's domestic reasons, the cancellation of the "Fierce Dragon" at the Paris air show flight demonstration.He also said that in November this year 'Fierce Dragon' will be in Dubai air show flight performances and to meet you.


Data for: Pakistan Air Force squadrons of black spider "Fierce Dragon" fighter, perform combat tasks.

"I noticed that the Paris Air Show, the first day, there is a reporter for a long time crouched our booth, facing the decomposition of large single-channel model of civil aircraft, advanced fighter aircraft flow field diagrams, stress analysis and other booth content cloud watch for a long time. "AVIC Zhou Jun, vice minister of International Affairs in Paris, France interview with this reporter, said that for several days, the exhibits in the aviation industry caused by visitors and media attention, including in Taiwan days of news, the U.S. CNN, Xinhua News Agency branch in Paris, came to stand for other relevant reports; in the aircraft industry during this series of cooperation agreements signed, covering the engine, aircraft, avionics, electronics, research and other all-round cooperation received very good results; in the aircraft industry to stand by the Chinese Ambassador to France Kong Quan and other diplomatic envoys and merchants praise.

"Overall, this session of the air show a great harvest." Zhou Jun said.

AVIC this exhibition's theme is "into the world aviation industry chain", Zhou said that this is not a slogan, but the aircraft industry has been working to promote specific content; with the air show this platform, it is also in and performance of the aircraft industry to promote the theme of good opportunities. "We are introduced to the audience through the booth the past 60 years in the aviation industry, especially the achievements in recent years, a comprehensive display of our civil aircraft, military aircraft, engines and other aviation industry chain all the core competencies, we did not use too muchlanguage and physical expression, but made a very clever all-round display. "he says of the air show.

In the aircraft industry during the air show and Safran, Liebherr, Boeing, the Netherlands Aerospace Centre, Germany - the Netherlands signed a series of wind tunnel of international cooperation agreements, "the protocol design to production, research and development, joint ventures and other aspects, theaircraft industry in the engine, aircraft, avionics, electronics, scientific research, cooperation with international enterprises to develop all-round, so dense in the previous contract is also a rare air show. "Jun Zhou think.

Booth in the aircraft industry, has been ambassador to France, Kong Quan, China, represented by diplomatic envoys and merchants praise, simple and elegant spacious, more and more international. But Zhou Jun at the same time honest, we and the international company's booth design or there is a gap, although in the exhibition hall to show the form and design on our gap is narrowing. GE Company, CFM Corporation, SAFRAN companies and other "neighbors" of the engine are giant, EADS, 3D screen live playback experience, etc. This makes Zhou Jun abnormal heart: "Many of their exhibits far beyond its fine our imagination, how to make better use of performance measures, the results show in the aircraft industry out of our booth design to keep the subject of study. "

Effect of the show, received from the aircraft industry in Egypt, Algeria, Angola, Mauritius and other countries more than 10 customers. The first exhibition of "pterodactyl" unmanned aerial vehicles received extensive attention. AVIC cattle fields of international affairs, told reporters this year, a clear feeling that some of the French local SMEs with their products and technologies attracted to the booth in the aircraft industry to seek opportunities for cooperation. "This shows years of participation in international exhibitions in the aircraft industry brand presentation, but also fully demonstrates China's aviation industry development opportunities as well as the strength of the aircraft industry, we look forward to this change." Zhou Jun said.

This year is the 12th in CATIC Air Show, CATIC Ma Zhiping, general manager, said in an interview with reporters, the Paris Air Show is that we show strength, the aviation industry's achievements and progress of the international arena, but also we see the whole the world's most advanced aircraft, the latest technology opportunity. It attracted visitors, but also attract government dignitaries, military leaders attention. In the aircraft industry demand this year for the international market, focusing on the "Fierce Dragon", L15, and "pterodactyl" unmanned aerial vehicles, and the recent AC312, 313, MA600, etc. on display, L15 simulator on display from the stand point of view good results, and many users, and conducted in-depth discussion.

Beginning in 1989, participated in the previous Paris Air Show Ma Zhiping, the overall impression of this air show is the introduction of new aircraft, new technology is not much; the United States and Russia air show giants seem to be because of economic and other reasons, for air show little interest, they became the main European countries, the aircraft's flight performance. At the same time, he said, look at this air show, new energy aircraft, engines, and more environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient technology will continue to advance the future, military aircraft, the highlight of the exhibition is a major UAV, which Let us see the world in investment in UAV development and attention, also shows the development of unmanned aerial vehicles will be an important future direction.

Because Pakistan's domestic reasons, the cancellation of the "Fierce Dragon" on the fly at the Paris Air show. Ma Zhiping said this, it is very regrettable, air show organizers have told us regret. "But we can look forward to November this year, 'Fierce Dragon' will be in Dubai air show flight performances and meet you."
