Sukhoi Design Bureau president Pogosyan publicly clarified that Russia has never raised the Chinese side on the "copy" of the question, "We firmly believe that China-made aircraft with its own technology components and domestic parts."

Has two reasons for the development of new machine

Canada, "Chinese Defense Review" magazine recently published an article that looks like a Russian-made Su-27 two-seat F-11BS fighter / trainer aircraft, has entered the Chinese Air Force bulk. The journal further predicted, based on the F-11BS, China is expected to develop a "Chinese version of Su-30" - F-11BSM multi-role fighter, to enhance their long-range strike capability.

"Chinese and" F-11BSM R & D program that may exist based on mainly two: First, China is still a lack of long-range air strike capability, the Su-30 from Russia, the insufficient number of imported and domestic JH -7 "Flying Leopard" comprehensive performance is poor, requiring a large payload and range far more multi-purpose fighter, the current J-11BS is the best transformation of the object.

Second, China has invested for the development of J-11BS is a lot of money, cost more than imports of the same high performance trainer is much more.The equipment according to the size of the Chinese Air Force now only need 50 of these trainers is enough, no country in the world will just not for such a small number of flower lovers heavily in new development. "Thus, the Chinese developed J-11BS is the real intention is to follow the year in Russia as a platform for the development of the Su-27 Su-30 approach, so that F-11BS transform 'the Chinese Su-30'."

Optimize the force structure of medicine

Optimize the force structure of medicine

According to the article, if China is indeed F-11BS developed on the basis of the J-11BSM, it means that the PLA's long-range strike capability will be further upgraded to accelerate creating "offensive and defensive one," the strategic air force. Prior to this, the Chinese Air Force H-6, Su-30 and JH -7 Although long-range strike capability, but has a less than satisfactory - H-6, a large range and payload, the body design can still 50 years ago the level of viability is too low; Su-30 performance good, but not compatible with China's independently developed precision-guided weapons, and a limited number, can not be quickly added; JH -7 can be made to mount on the ground / seaweapons, the problem is the lack of air refueling capability, range slightly less than the dependence on strong fighter escort.

Easy to see from the above analysis, the PLA Air Force in the growing pursuit of "offensive and defensive integration" of the moment, the existing force structure can not meet its requirements. F-11BSM once available, will allow long plagued the shortcomings of the Chinese Air Force force structure has been eradicated - the machine not only with Russian-made Su-30 with a considerable range and payload, and is completely self-development, can mount a variety of domestic weapons, not only the basic logistics and operations to eliminate the disadvantage of limited use, standoff precision strike capability has improved significantly.


Russia denies 'plagiarism'

China has independently developed in F-11B and F-11BS period, "Chinese and" has repeatedly issued "the Russian Su-27 Chinese suspected of plagiarism of intellectual property rights," the news that the Russian trade conflict is inevitable. That third-party observers were surprised that the club fighter Su -27/30 - Russia's Sukhoi Design Bureau president Pogosyan publicly clarified that Russia has never raised the Chinese side on the "copy" of the question, "we firmly believe that China-made aircraft with its own technology components and domestic parts. "

In fact, some Western media is not well-known that F -11B/BS military is the lack of technical content of imitation. British "Jane's Defense Weekly," pointed out that China's F -11B/BS is completely thorough understanding of the Soviet Union -27/30 technical know-how, based on the integration of their product innovation, its as a "plagiarism" in the name of any errors too biased.Australia's "Air Power" magazine that the Chinese developed J -11B/BS only appearance with the Su-27SK and Su-27UBK similar, but in the body material, data bus, infrared detection system, glass cockpit, electronic warfare equipment etc. have shown their own unique design. "In particular, F -11B/BS equipped with advanced on-board oxygen generation system, which is entirely in the Soviet Union -27/30 not ... ... Now, even the engines began to replace their Chinese-made."

United States, "Aviation Week" is Comments that China's J-11 series aircraft and the technology has distanced Su -27/30, move forward one step closer to Western standards. "If China wants to develop multi-purpose fighter, it is likely only appearance similar to Su-30, which is entirely China's own manufacturing system, the overall performance and the U.S. equivalent of advanced F-15E model." Currently, China has been able to develop advanced The air fighters, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, and precision strike weapons for different purposes, once the J-11BS is developed on the basis of multi-purpose fighter aircraft, bound to make China in the Taiwan Strait, East China Sea and South China Sea and other sensitive areas of deterrence and strategic strike capability significantly enhanced.

U.S. R & D expertise sustainable fly five-year anti-anti-satellite weapons, unmanned aerial vehicles

Core Tip: How to fight future wars? What is the future of the weapons look like? U.S. media disclosed a series of 26 new weapons, two future: Microwave missiles and long-endurance solar-powered aircraft seems to indicate direction. Prior to the United States developed a variety of new weapons are biased towards the anti-terrorism and anti-guerrilla warfare, the U.S. military is now finally out of the shadow of the war on terror, re-target the next great power war.

How to fight future wars? What is the future of the weapons look like? U.S. media disclosed a series of 26 new weapons, two future: Microwave missiles and long-endurance solar-powered aircraft seems to indicate direction. Prior to the United States developed a variety of new weapons are biased towards the anti-terrorism and anti-guerrilla warfare, the U.S. military is now finally out of the shadow of the war on terror, re-target the next great power war.

Modern war is almost inseparable from electronic equipment, who can efficiently destroy, interfere with enemy electronic equipment who will be able to master the battlefield initiative. U.S. Fox News Network September 26, disclosed an electronic device can destroy enemy missiles microwave. Reported that the current failure to make the opponent's electronic equipment, or use electronic jamming aircraft, or use of nuclear explosions produce electromagnetic pulses, but only the future can do a rocket launch, which is developed by the U.S. Air Force, "Microwave missile" . Boeing and the Air Force Research Laboratory recently unveiled "anti-electronics high-energy microwave advanced missile project" (CHAMP) of the first test case. Allegedly, the use of high-power microwave weapons are mainly electronic components inside the microwave in the induced currents and thermal effects reduce the performance of electronic devices and even burn. Report emphasized that the use of microwave missile command failure opponents than with bombs and missiles are much more efficient way of bombing, than with nuclear explosions produce electromagnetic pulses to destroy the enemy's electronic system more secure.

Reported that the first flight test, the missile aimed at multiple targets and demonstrate the ability to place. This year will be followed by the test will verify that it's lethal: Using high-power microwave warhead "burn" the most advanced enemy air defense, command and control centers, combat aircraft and UAV's electronic systems. Boeing project manager Keith Coleman said: "This trial will the Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Technology and Boeing integrated missile design, a new non-lethal but very efficient development of this weapon system important step. "

U.S. "space war", said 26 sites in this trial, CHAMP missile targeting multiple virtual opponents to prove that such missiles against multiple targets simultaneously. The report also stressed that, CHAMP missile can minimize or even completely ruled out with injury, to prevent accidental injury caused by public criticism. Fox News said the United States, before the U.S. military with new weapons developed by a large number of different development of the missile is not in the microwave for the ongoing war on terror, because only crude weapons of the Afghan armed and no decent electronic equipment.However, in a similar battle in the Libyan air strikes, microwave missile anti-aircraft fire in suppression of opponents to play a significant role. Reports that these missiles can also attack the UAV or manned aircraft on the ground, through the burning aircraft on the circuit directly let hors de combat, the future does not even rule out the use of microwave missiles against air targets possible. Some analysts believe that a new generation of fighters in an increasing number of electronic devices, especially the booming drone is completely dependent on electronic equipment for command and control, if the microwave for air defense missile really will become a national UAV"number one killer."

United States, "Aviation Week" website disclosure of another 26 new weapons, the future - can fly consecutive five-year solar-powered aircraft. Reported that the U.S. Navy for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the "vulture" solar powered long-endurance UAV keen interest, and intend it as a space satellite carrier strike group to the failure to provide an important means of communication. Reported that, "Condor" project aims to develop a continuous flight allows the UAV in the air five years of technology. Boeing is currently designing a flying in the air with a 30-day full-scale demonstrator, the aircraft planned first flight in the first quarter of 2014. Reportedly, the "vultures" will be during the day wing, tail boom and tail on the solar panels to collect energy, and then stored in a reusable fuel cells. Wait until night, fuel cells provide electricity for electric drive system to ensure that the night flying UAV will not lose momentum.

NASA Langley Research Center engineer Craig Gurney Kerr said, "the U.S. Navy on the 'vultures' are very interested in the satellite can not be used, it can serve as a co-antenna network to provide communication to the aircraft carrier attack group to help." Reported that Some countries are developing anti-satellite weapons, gather intelligence and rely heavily on satellite transmission of information in wartime, the U.S. military is likely to lose space in the "eyes" and "ears." Although the U.S. military has been in the development of small satellites can be launched quickly as temporary replacement, but on the timeliness and convenience, and the carrier can not take off at any time compared to the long-endurance UAV.

Russia hails new rocket to replace the Cyclone rockets higher accuracy


Core Tip: According to the Russian Military Observer website reported September 29, BM-21 type "hail" is a multi-barrel rocket system developed by the former Soviet Union one of the most famous Marine weapons, since the service since 1963, it has exported to more than 30 countries. However, with the new Russian multi-barrel rocket launchers in service, the prominent Russian weapons systems will gradually withdraw from battle.

According to Russia's "Military Observer" website reported September 29, BM-21 type "hail" is a multi-barrel rocket system developed by the former Soviet Union one of the most famous Marine weapons, since the service since 1963, it has exported to the world more than 30 countries. However, with the new Russian multi-barrel rocket launchers in service, the prominent Russian weapons systems will gradually withdraw from battle.

"Hail" rocket former Soviet Union and China in 1969 because of Treasure Island (the former Soviet Union called Damansky Island) dispute and the outbreak of armed conflict debut. By the time the Soviet times, "Hail" rocket volley put the island completely covered. Russian military experts have speculated that it was unlikely to survive in that fight.

However, for the complete weapon system and then have their life. Russian military that has served 40 years of "hail" multi-barrel rocket launcher now does not have the potential to continue to improve. Beginning this year, the Russian side will start procurement of a new generation of "Tornado-G" multi-barrel rocket system, and gradually replace the service with its BM-21 "hail."

Russian Defense Ministry is responsible for Army affairs spokesman Sergei - Vlasov lieutenant colonel, said: "The upgrade on power of ammunition, automated targeting and navigation systems, the performance of new rocket technology is far more than its predecessors 'Tornado-G' is mainly used to eliminate and suppress open areas or bunkers in the effective strength, armor technology and equipment, artillery, command posts and other targets. The system is equipped with the Russian army in the modern combined-arms against the enemy in the implementation of expansion the direction of one of the long-range fire suppression. "

BM-21 "Hail" 122 mm multiple rocket launcher system, a range of 20-40 km, can cover a volley of about 15 hectares.

Russian Center for Political Studies of conventional weapons expert Vadim - Lin Branch for a long time that: "BM-21 is a very old system, its army is now retired from the Ukraine, even at the same time, Libya has a modern event showed The importance of weapons. "

Constantine, vice president of Russian geopolitics - Schiff Cove, said: "There are indications that the new system of procurement is relatively less. The first equipment of the system will be those most important Army."

Served as the Russian Federation Armed Forces missile forces and artillery director Vladimir - Zhalieciji declared, "Tornado-G" of the combat effectiveness than "hail" of 2.5-3 times. Meanwhile, the new "cyclone" system has two models, a 122 mm caliber, "Tornado-G", the other is 300 mm caliber, "Cyclone-S". The latter will be used to replace the existing fleet of Russian "Tornado" rocket, while its performance is 3-4 times predecessors.

And old-fashioned "hail" and "Tornado" systems, "cyclone" system is equipped with satellite navigation systems, firing accuracy increased significantly. In addition, the "Tornado-G" range is more than "hail" doubled. In addition, the "Cyclone" with each rocket flight controls are installed by the microchip, which further improves accuracy. At the recent "Central -2011" strategic exercises, the first appearance of the "Tornado-G" on the target 90 kilometers away were shot.

In mobility, the "Cyclone" system has significantly improved. In order to launch in time to avoid the enemy's counterattack, "cyclone" system can even be fired rockets in the first floor before leaving the launch site. Finally, a rocket hit the target, launch the system may have been transferred to several kilometers outside the security area.

However, it is unclear "Tornado-G" will be equipped with what force. Prior to that, "hail" the rocket has been used to equip the Russian motorized infantry division and tank divisions, while in Russia the past two years to implement the new face of the military reform process, the division-sized units were reorganized into brigades . Zhalieciji that, perhaps, the Russian military of the future will be equipped with every trip, "cyclone" system.

Russian Army generals had said in an interview, longer range of the "Cyclone-S" system in the future will be with the "Iskander-M" tactical missile system with Russian missile and artillery forces constitute the basis for

Data for: Temple One launch.

One temple and the successful launch before the end of 2012 to complete the unmanned and manned space rendezvous and docking station ... ... need based on our target next-generation manned space technology.

As China is currently the largest developed manned spacecraft, Temple One goal of aircraft will be launched in mid-November, an unmanned Shenzhou VIII spacecraft rendezvous and docking, and Shenzhou 9 and 10 next year with an unmanned spacecraft, or someone The rendezvous and docking experiments, which will build 60-ton 2020 manned space station lay an important technical foundation.

Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China's manned space project, said Temple One of the performance indicators aimed at the development laboratory space, the space station ahead of key technologies for authentication and accumulation.

"Temple to test the space station's regenerative environmental control necessary for health protection technology, the key individual technologies, such as control technology, power technology, the propellant tank technology, refined and improved, can be used directly on China's future space station. "he said.

Zhou Jianping, said each country after several trials to master the rendezvous and docking technology to mature, compared to the United States, Russia needs to launch each time a docking two spacecraft, aircraft and our goal has three spacecraft docking "1 + N" mode , a decrease of 2 launches, significantly reducing costs.

"This model reduces the development process space laboratory." He said.

One temple is also the prototype of future space laboratories. Developed as a launch China's first long-life low-orbit spacecraft, which differs from the characteristics of manned spacecraft. Manned spacecraft are space shuttles transport, Temple One can complete the rendezvous and docking missions in the same time, a certain amount of space to carry out scientific experiments, to provide for the presence of astronauts working and living conditions.

Yang Hong said that Temple One goal of a number of space vehicles using new technologies for future space station construction and testing of the technology to do pre-validation. One temple has many user-friendly design, such as providing 15 cubic meters astronauts comfortable working and living space, the Shenzhou spacecraft is no longer a "dwelling." This space also provides exercise and entertainment facilities, the astronauts can send and receive e-mail.

Rockets, China is developing a new generation around the space station, the greater thrust of the rocket. Manned space launch vehicle system designer Jing Mu-chun said that because the station's tanks weighing 20 tons each, need to launch a new generation of larger thrust carrier rockets. "We have to launch the space station by 2020 to prepare."

Launch vehicle system, said Song Zhengyu, deputy chief designer, digital, non-toxic and non-polluting China's new generation Long March 5 rockets, the Long March 7, is expected to achieve first flight in 2014. New rocket is expected around 2021 the technology will mature, and gradually replace the existing Long March 2, 3, 4 series.

Spacecraft, the Yang Hong said that the future space station construction and operation of transportation systems rely on space shuttles to complete.Shenzhou spacecraft will begin mass production of God eight.

Astronaut training, the manned space program Wang Xianmin deputy chief designer of the astronaut system, said the training focused on the astronauts who control the rendezvous and docking capability training, and strive to "the astronaut training like driving a car," and can skillfully Fair docking.

In addition, the future of our space station, astronauts in orbit to increase working hours, which requires measures to resist the weightless environment more potential adverse effects. Wang Xianmin said instrument, such as bone loss against the experimental device with Temple One into space. Instruments in different intensity and frequency of beating the leg bones of astronauts, according to records to analyze its effectiveness, so as to further development of weightlessness countermeasures equipment.

He said the 2008 Shenzhou VII spacecraft carrying the astronauts began to use traditional Chinese medicine against weight loss and other symptoms of discomfort, with good results.

Wang Xianmin said, China's first female astronaut selection of rendezvous and docking mission training is underway, the earliest it can carry the Shenzhou 10 spacecraft. "Female astronauts work and daily necessities and male astronauts, the current has been designed, is developing."

China Astronaut Research and Training Center has become the Russia, the United States can independently train astronauts after the world's third astronaut training base.

China in the competition for resources has been Norway's support for the Arctic


Core Tip: According to the Russian Pravda reported on September 28, China's State Oceanic Administration polar exploration department, said recently that China's next five-year plan for three Arctic scientific expedition, including the last, is the first Arctic expedition will be 5 next year 7 month. The direction of the significant increase in Arctic activity that China has actively participated in the battle for Arctic resources.

According to Russia's "Pravda" reported on September 28, China's State Oceanic Administration polar exploration department, said recently that China's next five-year plan for three Arctic scientific expedition, including the last, is the first Arctic expedition will be 5 in July next year be. The direction of the significant increase in Arctic activity that China has actively participated in the battle for Arctic resources.

Russia reported that Office of the State Oceanic Administration polar expedition Arctic expedition project dedicated to the fact itself shows that China's participation in the battle for Arctic resources, the intent is very serious.China gradually expand their activities in the Arctic, the expedition also gradually expand the scope of activities. China Polar Research Center, 2009 number of employees increased significantly, reaching 230 people. China's Arctic expedition in the Antarctic and also the base for expansion. "Snow Dragon" polar icebreaker base terminal in Shanghai is also rebuilding, but also the construction of the Arctic ice storage base and data processing centers.Chinese officials said the main direction of its expedition, including the formation of ice and its changes, the upper atmosphere, biological resources, polar oceanography research, as well as local micro-organisms, meteorology, marine ecology, the Arctic climate and environmental change, Arctic ice layer melting and other phenomena. China Polar Arctic expedition staff ready day and night to monitor meteorological conditions, the objective of addressing the changes brought by global warming, protect the interests of the country's future development.

Russia reported that the direction of China's activities in the Arctic have become increasingly frequent, indicating a more positive Arctic policy in the foreseeable future will continue to increase the polar expedition, in support of further economic progress grand plans. All appearances, the Chinese Arctic and Antarctic to prepare long-term presence. China now has a polar icebreaker "Snow Dragon", plans to set up in 2015, standing polar fleet, expand the polar expedition. Chen, deputy director of China's State Oceanic Administration, confirmed that even by 2013 can be equipped with a 4.5 m thick ice made navigation of the new icebreaker, designed for the marine environment and resources expedition, equipped with advanced underwater robot and deep diving tank. The current "Snow Dragon" can only be 1.5 m thick ice navigation.

Russia reported, it is clear that China was prepared to join the battle for the Arctic wealth. According to some scientists predict the Arctic could harbor quarter of the world's undiscovered oil and gas reserves, and rich fisheries and mineral resources. In addition, China is also rapidly melting Arctic ice assess the commercial and strategic interests. Since 1995, the Arctic ice thickness has been reduced by 20-40%. According to Chinese scientists, the most optimistic forecasts, the 2013 Arctic summer ice will no longer upset the entire Arctic Ocean by 2030 the ice could completely get rid of the trouble, creating a shorter, safer, more economical new routes. No wonder the Chinese experts have publicly declared that "He who controls the Arctic route, whoever will control the world economy." For China, this issue is extremely important, because as the world's number one exporting country, 46 percent of China's economy relies on international shipping. If the Arctic ice out of the shackles, China will successfully open up a new channel to Europe. Shanghai, China to Germany from Hamburg to transport routes, for example, and through the Straits of Malacca and the Suez Canal than the traditional route, through Russia's Arctic coast route to shorten the voyage of nearly 6500 km, and along the way there is no risk of pirate attacks. To know that the commercial shipping through the Gulf of Aden have increased insurance premiums more than a dozen times. According to Chinese experts estimate that, using the northern route, a simple container ship or a shipping dry bulk carriers could save nearly $ 500,000. Therefore, the Arctic ice completely melts, it will completely change the entire world trade.

Russia reported, although not directly facing the Arctic sea, but China does not seem to worry about this. China has long been to use his territory into the Arctic. July 28, 2004 China's first Arctic research station "Yellow River" in Norwegian Spitsbergen Islands, officially inaugurated at Ny-Alesund area. Even if it is based on modern standards, "Yellow River" research station is a very advanced facilities, it covers an area of ​​500 square meters, has two buildings, four modern laboratory, office and home, everything, can accommodate 20-25name of the expedition team members. China has the "Yellow River" station equipped with the latest equipment, including domestic "Arctic" underwater robot. 2008 years ago, China used in this dive depth of 50 meters, equipped with cameras and sonar, "Arctic ROV" eight robots and underwater expedition under the ice. After beginning with 863, Shenyang Institute of Automation within the framework developed in the "North Pole ARV" new remote intelligent underwater robot, the main advantage of water 100 meters deep in work, activities radius of 3 km.

Russia reported, and another reported that Chinese businessman plans to invest $ 200 million to buy 0.3 percent of Iceland's territory, could become a base for Arctic battle. Chinese businessmen to purchase land claims that the move was to build resort facilities. British "Financial Times" speculation that the move may be in competition for the North Pole to prepare for China. Of course, Iceland in 2008 into a national bankruptcy crisis, this was not a problem. But now they can not but be concerned about. Chinese businessman purchased the initial positive response to the Icelandic authorities to plan now suffered a lot of pressure, the Icelandic Minister of the Interior announced that it will re-examine what the terms of trade, emphasis on a variety of different situations, a more cautious approach. But this may not really hinder China's ambition to enter the North Pole.

Russia reported that the West is most concerned about Russia's Arctic operations. 2007 Polar scientist in the Arctic Ocean seabed 奇林加罗夫 planted a Russian flag, further exacerbating the tension of the battle for the Arctic. In addition to Russia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, the United States, Iceland, Arctic territories and resources are also put forward a variety of competing demands and claims, most of them strongly opposed to the Russian territory of 1.2 million square kilometers of Arctic sovereignty claim. An arms race in the Arctic region has been put on the agenda even in Canada decided to significantly enhance its naval power, and in a series of military exercises in the Arctic region to counter the invasion of the imaginary enemy.Russia also to be outdone, announced in July 2011 the formation of two North Pole trip. In addition, Russia and Denmark, as well as Canada and Denmark's Arctic territory, the conflict between the equally serious. China is now regarded as an important strategy for the Arctic region, but China will not take any particularly positive expansion of operations, or other Arctic powers against China may be combined.

Russia reported that China is now the battle in the Arctic has been limited support in Norway, which is not opposed to attracting Chinese investment to achieve mutually beneficial projects, but there are certain vigilance. For example, China's "Yellow River" Arctic research station has moved all the infrastructure side of the participation by the latter to provide basic security services. More importantly, Norway is also called the Arctic Council to give China permanent observer status to China in the Arctic project to open the door. In addition, China also hopes to establish similar relations with Russia, the future joint development projects of mutual benefit to the North Pole to threats in the future when the Western powers faced with Russian forces to better respond.

Secret Temple One: Russia and beyond to follow


September 27 -30, the Chinese Temple One will choose the target launch vehicle, then China will launch Shenzhou 8 spacecraft rendezvous and docking with the space to carry out tests, taken from China in the first step in space station construction. One of the main temple then what is the purpose?Temple One and the use of those technologies? What is the significance of China's space it? NetEase will be the exclusive interpretation of the military.



September 20, "Temple" target aircraft, two F carrier rocket Long March has arrived in combination launchers firing choose to wait for 27-30 days.
China's manned space program has entered the second step

Upon completion of the Shenzhou VII manned mission, China's manned space program for nearly three years of silence. Although released in August 2010 to complete assembly of the temple One news, October 27, 2010 China's manned space station project was officially launched, but after all, from the actual launch of manned space flight and testing is also too far. But to the end of June 2011 the official release, "Temple One target aircraft arrived in Jiuquan review by the factory", a clear reference to the third and fourth quarters, respectively, Temple One goal of aircraft launch and unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou VIII. Although since August 18, the Long March II C rocket 11 04 satellites lost in practice, leading to Temple One delayed the launch time.However, after a period of re-inspection, China announced in September 27 to 30 choose the launch One Temple. Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the 921-station after a long silence, it finally hit the headlines again, China's first space rendezvous and docking experiments are also about to pull off.

Upon completion of a manned orbital flight, the first step to achieve the strategic goals of manned space flight, China started in December 2004, the second step manned space mission. The second step of the manned space mission focused on spacecraft rendezvous and docking and astronauts in space activities, the first phase of the mission objectives for the implementation of the main spacecraft rendezvous and docking missions and extravehicular activity, rendezvous and docking technology breakthrough and master the extravehicular activity techniques.

Shenzhou VII mission in 2008 in advance of the extravehicular activity during the task, breaking the extravehicular activity techniques. Phase of the task to the next section, decided to set up China's manned space project space laboratory system, developed by Temple series of spacecraft used to implement the second strategic goal of China's manned space flight. Technical complexity of rendezvous and docking technology, engineering characteristics difficult to break through to master this technology, China's manned space engineering expertise developed Temple One target aircraft, used for validation, breakthrough and master the rendezvous and docking technology.One temple is manned Shenzhou series of spacecraft rendezvous and docking target, the target vehicle the name, very precise description of its main purposes.




Temple One of the main purpose is to verify the space rendezvous and docking technology. The picture shows the complete assembly of the Temple One target aircraft.
Temple One of the basic situation

One goal of the Temple is about to launch aircraft length 9 meters, the maximum diameter of 3.35 meters, a launch mass of about 8.5 tons. Temple One target aircraft is divided into two compartments, each compartment is the JEM and resources. JEM, according to the preceding frame with Shanghai Aerospace developed the docking device, for the people and the Shenzhou spacecraft docking. JEM divided into pre-cone, cylinder segments and post-cone, of which the first two parts sealed pressurized environment that can support three astronauts to work and live. JEM and resources after the cone section a non-sealed cabin environment, though transient, after the cone section of install regenerative life-assurance systems, resources, installation of various equipment such as possession of power systems, solar wings and engines, to provide in-orbit spacecraft and space flight applicationsexperimental support.

2010 China Manned Space Engineering Office, Wang Bao told the English media space revealed a series of spacecraft, the details of the temple, he pointed out that Temple II and III space laboratory and the Temple One goal of aircraft similar quality are about 8.5 diameter of 3.35 m tons of specifications, use the Long March II-F rocket, will be 400 kilometers in altitude, angle of 42-43 degrees orbit. Under the plan, China will launch the first Temple One target aircraft, then launch Shenzhou VIII spacecraft for rendezvous and docking. Shenzhou VIII spacecraft and manned spacecraft in the same configuration, but in order to reduce the risk of rendezvous and docking test personnel will not be manned.

Within two years of working life, China will launch Shenzhou 9 and Shenzhou 10 spacecraft continue to work with Temple One goal of aircraft for rendezvous and docking, which will be manned Shenzhou 10 spacecraft, whether manned Shenzhou 九号 yet OK, Shenzhou VIII will rendezvous and docking with the Temple I make a decision whether the test successfully. But certainly at this stage with a temple of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft rendezvous and docking, the actual verification of manned rendezvous and docking capability, Temple One of the JEM's life support system and laboratory equipment, the presence of the flight was short, as Next was the mid-space laboratory space to carry out scientific experiments in the presence and accumulation of experience.

Manned space docking technology is a major difficulty

Although there are other goals, but Temple One main purpose of the target spacecraft rendezvous and docking technology is a breakthrough to master.Manned space rendezvous and docking technology is an important technical difficulties, either the U.S. or the Soviet Union, in the reaches of space rendezvous and docking technology, the actual space rendezvous and docking operations have experienced multiple failures.

Gemini 8 in the United States and A Jinna upper stage successfully completed before the first rendezvous and docking, Gemini 6 and 7 spacecraft rendezvous and control for the first time people, most recently from the 180 meters earlier Gemini 3, 4, 5, rendezvous and docking experiments have failed.Despite the success of the Soviet Union a lot of automation and human control of rendezvous and docking experiments, but the actual use of the space station Salyut still frequent docking failure, even to the number of times of peace and progress cargo ship also appeared in hit Mir docking failure incidents.




June 29, 1995, the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis and the "Peace" space station for docking. Rendezvous and docking space for the two sides should continue to be speed control and attitude control, is also very difficult.
China docking device follow the same structure allogeneic peripheral docking system

Although China's manned space project can only be associated with the Russian technical exchanges, but all aspects of text and video reports, China did not use the docking device ready pin Russia - cone system, but follow the same structure allogeneic peripheral docking system design. Allogeneic peripheral docking system with the structure from the Soviet Union in the 1970s Apollo - Alliance space docking experiments show that docking space rescue prospects. To any of the two docking between different spacecraft, the Soviet Union developed a variant with the structure around the docking system, the number APAS-75. It overcomes the needle - cone docking system's shortcomings, the use of any variant with a docking device structure design can only do a passive end is also active side, which is extremely important for space rescue, reducing the complexity of the system. As the peripheral-type docking system is not the needle - the central cone system type, easier docking mechanism under the same conditions as the total diameter of the central pressure to increase the channel diameter.

Variant isomorphism has been widely used around the docking system

Although the Soviet Union, then manned spacecraft, space station Salyut spacecraft and Progress cargo to use the classic needle - cone docking device, but the structure still further improved variants with peripheral systems, preparing the next generation of manned space systems in use, a new generation of Soviet Buran Use Code APAS-89 space shuttle system, the external diameter of 2.03 m the original design, but then decreased to 1.55 m in diameter, due to reduced external diameter, internal channel diameter reduced to 80 cm. Mainly refers to the Mir space station with a needle - way docking cone at the same time, with a quantum laboratory modules on the APAS-89 is also the interface, and the Buran space shuttle ready for docking.Soviet Union's space program led to a follow-up in the water, directly Buran retired.


"Alliance" series of spacecraft approaching the International Space Station docking module aimed to "needle - cone" type of docking mechanism of the "cone", pay attention to red circle.
In preparation for building the International Space Station, equipped with the U.S. space shuttle Buran space shuttle scheduled for allogeneic peripheral docking system with the structure, the manufacturer of energy consortium will re-numbered as APAS-95. U.S. space shuttle using the APAS-95 carried out a number of the Mir docking. International Space Station docking device also uses the APAS-95 docking system, the Russian-built Zarya module and service module of the U.S. Unity connecting node number using a variant homogeneous system, in Italy and the United States has the Harmony node module Serenity all have the same a APAS-95 docking system for space shuttle. However, the variant with the International Space Station docking system structure surrounding the space shuttle in order to prevent massive shock too much, allogeneic peripheral isomorphism passive docking mechanism for the permanent end to the adaptive changes, while the space shuttle APAS- 95 still in active and passive end-side switch between.

China rendezvous and docking device designed to house long Bo

One target aircraft and the Chinese Temple Shenzhou VIII spacecraft docking system is designed to draw on Russia's main system, but the gambling house long to design their own needs. From the current data, China's rendezvous and docking measurement system using a remote microwave radar, laser radar, close the video navigation sensor (VGS) plus a combination of the optical sight configuration, hardware specifications and Russian docking mechanism APAS-89 line, in theory Harmony and the space station with the number of nodes with a quiet cabin on the APAS-95 docking interface, the ability, of course, because of political obstacles from the United States, and the docking station is not possible. Although the space station on the APAS-95 interface, only as a passive side, but China for security reasons, Temple Shenzhou spacecraft and aircraft docking mechanism is unlikely to blindly follow. One temple can be expected after the docking device was tested, it will become the standard of China's manned space docking mechanism, which is the temple One of the most important contributions to China's space industry.




Two years of near-Earth orbit far beyond the maintenance of the Shenzhou spacecraft design life of six months of the orbital module, which is another of China's manned space technology, unprecedented challenges.
Two years of near-Earth orbit to maintain technological breakthroughs

Temple One Although primarily designed to break through the rendezvous and docking techniques to master, but it itself as an 8.5-ton large space platform, it will naturally be more applications. Temple One and Shenzhou VIII will conduct a series of scientific experiments in space, such as China's first manned aerospace project of international cooperation, Sino-German joint study space microgravity life science experiments SIMBOX Shenzhou VIII will be put on space. Temple One goal of aircraft will be about 400 km near-Earth orbit for two years of a long flight, Shenzhou spacecraft is much larger than the design life of six months of the orbital module, which opened up the Chinese long-life low-orbit spacecraft flight area, 2 year design life if the flight can be achieved, will be close to the Soviet Salyut 4 space station numbers.

Potential of low-orbit space platforms

One temple will become a huge potential of low-orbit platform, Shanghai is now planning to bring the total material of 60 cm diameter silicon carbide used infrared cameras to detect, in addition equipped with a hyperspectral imaging three off-axis optical system, anti- , Changchun Institute of Optics on the Shenzhou VI to achieve a 400 km height 0.5 m resolution performance, the Shanghai design objects have and give us what kind of surprise. One temple itself has 8.5 tons of quality, according to Wang Yongzhi, former chief designer of the manned space project mentioned in the article information, the Temple of the target aircraft and space research laboratory results will be a large cargo ship and the basis for future Space Station JEM . 13 tons of cargo ship and aircraft temple almost identical in appearance, 20-ton after the release of the JEM picture was said to be even more magnified version of the cargo ship.Magnification of 13 tons and 20-ton cargo ship JEM potential, suggesting Temple One reconnaissance platform in the near-Earth orbit on the astronomical observations and a bright future.

Compare similar products in the United States, if we see the future of China's keyhole and Hubble, believe and do not feel strange. In fact, both of these, Temple One of the development of spacecraft and space station cargo JEM accumulated experience and the development paved the way for its use and subsequent Temple II Temple run Skylab III accumulated experience, which has value for money. From the existing data speculation, Temple One goal of the three docking aircraft flight time probably in 20 days, due to the flight of Shenzhou spacecraft design life of only 7 days, Temple One of the experiments will greatly extend the time for China's manned flight, more long long low-orbit flight, the space environment to study the impact on human biomedical experiments in space.



Temple One fact is China's first experimental space station, are responsible for the 2020 construction of large, multi-cabin space station technology accumulation task. Although the quality of overall performance, especially as the Soviet Union's Salyut Volume One, not to mention the U.S. Skylab, but Temple One part of the performance and design specifications there own characteristics, which reflects the efforts of China's space and technologyprogress.

Space as an important step towards China, Temple One will become a milestone in China's space.

Use of force in the South China ripe, should fight only wars

Core Tip: 70 years ago in the last century, there is no question of the South China Sea, all the world countries have yet to claim sovereignty over the South China Sea dispute. The reason why the South China Sea a "problem" is rooted in the violation of China's Nansha Islands and Vietnam, and China Sha claim of sovereignty. China does not have time for a flagrant invasion of South Vietnam to stop the behavior, so that brings consequences for today.


Data Figure: Schematic diagram of the South China Sea.

70 years ago in the last century, the South China Sea issue is not what all the world countries have yet to claim the sovereignty of China Kau line Nei Nanhai challenge. The reason why the South China Sea a "problem" is rooted in the South Vietnam regime and later the Vietnamese independence, violating China's Nansha Islands, and China's Sha claim of sovereignty. In addition to counter China Sha South Vietnam regime and the war in the land to punish Vietnam for self-defense on the outside, and there is no time for the blatant invasion of Vietnam in the South China Sea to stop the behavior, so that brings consequences for today. First, inspired and led other countries to China's Nansha Islands to "looting"; Second, Vietnam now lead the United States, and draw together with other small countries trying to deter China, the bilateral dispute with China International.

China focusing on economic development, harmony and stability around the eager, the South China Sea do not want to internationalize the issue, do not want to bring this great national sacrifices and international disasters, to show the unparalleled sincerity. International trend of the South China Sea issue is clear, but not yet fully formed. I think it is a calm analysis of China, to seize the opportunity, the opportunity to take decisive action quickly.

Arms race in the South China Sea countries are doing now, purchase long-range heavy sea and air weapons, and even Singapore is not involved in the South China Sea also plans to introduce cutting-edge stealth fighter; Australia and India's military plans are prepared for the conduct of world war, Japan more is unwilling. U.S. arms sales while vigorously, while fuel, while preparing for military intervention.

Individual small countries see the United States announced the "return to Asia" that has been backing, so some of China issued a willingness to fight the clamor, and some gun cannons for military intimidation. This is a little funny taste.

Potential war in the South China Sea in the accumulation. Time is not on the Chinese side, China should be the leader in regional cooperation and development of attitude, a more favorable competitive conditions and Western oil companies involved in oil and gas development, and its violation of my sea of ​​oil operations, before resorting to force to discourage. Do not worry about small-scale war, it is the best way to release the potential of war. Play a few small battles, big battles can be avoided.

Say that war, we can look in the end who most fear war in the South China Sea. South China Sea region more than a thousand gas wells present, China does not have one; Spratly Islands has four airports, no one is in mainland China; China does not have other important economic facilities. War with, the outcome will not speak, the South China Sea will become a sea of ​​fire, those standing on the South China Sea drilling platform will be the burning torch, who injured the most important? War with those of Western oil companies must leave, who lost the most?

For China, where is the best battlefield. I believe that the use of force in the South China Sea, against the surface should be reduced, to lock the current spin the most vicious of the Philippines and Vietnam, warning to others. The scale of war in order to achieve the purpose of disciplinary subject, without having to follow the example of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan, Libya model. This is a war to win, play arts that is likely to be a seven escapement Meng Huo-style moral education action.

Many Chinese scholars about the South China Sea issue, believe that the reason the U.S. is China's legislator. Right now, the United States not withdraw from the war on terrorism, the Middle East is another group paste, can not afford to open a second front in the South China Sea, which are displayed by the tough bravado.

Philippines to own metaphor mosquitoes, it is not afraid of Chinese elephant, trying to posture for the world's sympathy for the underdog. While mosquitoes should not be trampled elephant, but elephants do mosquito bites should be?Moreover, the "Mosquito" has also invited the "eagle" to help out courage. I believe that the violation of Chinese territorial sovereignty of individual countries, countries in continuous large-scale military exercises, just flatly counter to the reasons for the Chinese.

Rational, helpful, with restraint, we must still adhere to the principle. China's determination should be based on a large scale and small-scale war in the actual war preparations, the choice between war and peace to each other, the image of China's new tree up. Russia's decisive shot in 2008 and quickly stabilize the situation in the Caspian Sea experience has shown that the major powers of action although it may have some time on the international shock, but in the long run, you can achieve a fundamental area of ​​strategic stability and power of reconciliation, world peace blessing.

26, China 3 survey ship re-appeared Diaoyu Islands waters fishery boat


Core Tip: September 26, Japanese media reported that at 16:50 on the 26th or so, near the Diaoyu Islands so-called "Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ)" re-discovered in Chinese marine survey vessels. Reported that the ship's navigational waters with different Chinese prior notification, and is not found in the Big Dipper was No. 25 survey vessels. Naha, Japan, 11th District of the Department flew to the sea "warning."


Japanese media said China's "Science 3" marine survey ship 26 pm Diaoyu Islands waters.

September 26, Japanese media reported that the Japan Coast Guard said at 16:50 on the 26th or so, near the Diaoyu Islands so-called "Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ)" re-discovered in Chinese marine survey vessels. Reported that the ship's navigational waters with different Chinese prior notification, and is not found in the Big Dipper was No. 25 survey vessels.

Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" reported that the Chinese marine survey ship "Science 3" into the Diaoyu Islands on the afternoon of 26 yellow tail Island 145 kilometers north-northeast of the "Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ)", Japan 11 Naha district's Insurance Department flew to the sea "warning."

"Sankei Shimbun" reported also said, "by Paul Hall in recognition on the sea", "fishery 32501" and "fishery 202" 2 26 Chinese fishing boat in the evening around 7:30 into the Diaoyu Islands, "Japan territorial waters "adjacent to the area, and sailing in the waters roundabout after about 1 hour and 30 minutes have been left. MEPC also worked on patrol boat by radio to confirm China's fishery and navigation, "objective", "fishery 202" response that "we are performing official duties." Reported that since mid-September 2010, the collision occurred, the Chinese research ship and supervision of vessels has been 13 times, "the Japanese invasion of territorial waters" or "Japanese territorial waters adjacent to the area."

August 24, 2011, China's two fishery normal cruise ship near the Diaoyu Islands, but Japan has said China's Diaoyu Islands waters fishery into the first boat, and the positioning for the Chinese public vessel "invasion of Japanese territorial waters act." Japanese chief cabinet on the Chinese side on this "criticism", and declared that the Diaoyu Islands as "Japanese territory" the idea of ​​"doubt."

The Diaoyu Islands issue, the Chinese government's position is consistent and clear. Diaoyu Islands are China's inherent territory since ancient times, China has indisputable sovereignty. The Chinese government safeguard sovereignty and territorial integrity is unswerving will and determination.

US-Taiwan arms sales to China's unexpectedly mild reaction

Core Tip: Willard, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, said recently that a number of U.S. military officers will be invited to visit China later this year, the U.S. now is wait and see whether China will cancel arms sales to Taiwan because of these military exchanges, "We expect This (arms sales to Taiwan) will have certain consequences, but the specific situation is uncertain what will happen. "


Local time on September 26, is New York to attend the 66th UN General Assembly general debate of the Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary - Clinton.



Clinton said the United States attaches great importance to and take seriously the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan China's position and concerns. The United States welcomes and supports the peaceful development of cross-strait relations will continue to promote peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The United States would work with China to properly handle their differences, to avoid disruption to US-China cooperation.

Pacific Command, admitted will have a "certain consequences" usual visit to the U.S. commander of the Jinan Military Region

In September 21 again announces U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, the parties are now close attention to China to take retaliatory measures to the extent possible.

Willard, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, said recently that a number of U.S. military officers will be invited to visit China later this year, the U.S. now is wait and see whether China will cancel arms sales to Taiwan because of these military exchanges, "We expect this (for Taiwan arms sales) will have certain consequences, but the specific situation is uncertain what will happen. "

East-West Center of Hawaii Senior Fellow, Asian security affairs expert Rao Yi (Denny Roy) that the Chinese unexpectedly mild reaction, indicating that the two sides to find a negotiated way, but "military relations is no longer the case because of arms sales to Taiwan And there again, it is still hard to draw a conclusion. "

In the case of arms sales to Taiwan announced on the day before, China Jinan Military Region Commander Fan Changlong will visit the U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii, as usual, the Taiwan issue is one of the talks.

Sino-US military exchanges is still normal

Willard tried to play down the impact of arms sales. He talked about the United States on Friday for the arms sales to Taiwan could damage Sino-US relations, said a preliminary assessment, expected to Taiwan to upgrade F-16 fighter program would be detrimental to China-US relations, but the impact will be much lower than sale of new aircraft to Taiwan.

"I am convinced that if the sale to Taiwan is more advanced weapons, (China) will react more strongly than it is now." He said.

The U.S. government on Wednesday formally notified Congress of arms sales to Taiwan $ 5.85 billion, including upgrades for Taiwan's 1992 purchase of 145 F-16A / B fighters, provide Taiwan with F-16 fighter pilot training and spare parts supply. The Chinese Government expressed strong condemnation, but has not yet announced specific retaliatory measures.

"Several U.S. military officials were invited to visit China later this year plans, we will wait and see, I plan to visit China before had been canceled." Willard said.

Last U.S. arms worth $ 6.4 billion sale of weapons led to the Chinese military in 2010, most of the time the exchange with the U.S. military suspended until the beginning of this year, the then U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates finished visit to China, bilateral military ties was back on track, and within a year to achieve a rapid sensitive military facilities open to each other and so on.

According to the China Defense News website on September 9, should be invited Willard, commander of the Jinan Military Region, Fan Changlong led a delegation to the United States will be an official visit, including follow-up of members of the Navy's North Sea Fleet, Rear Admiral Du Xiping, deputy commander of the Jinan Military Region Air Force deputy Air Force Commander Major General Construction Wu Hui, a group army commander Major General Ma Yiming and so on.

Willard Turning 20 with visiting U.S. Pacific Command Admiral Fan Changlong talks said, "We discussed a range of issues, including the Taiwan issue, as usual, and arms sales to Taiwan, but these issues are is a very professional way to explore, which he did not talk too much. "

Under a diplomatic bargaining chip?

U.S. Pacific Command, former chief of staff, retired lieutenant Qiaowei Xi (Joe Vasey) that the Taiwan issue remains controversial US-China relations in one of the most important issue.

"The United States has long-term commitment to Taiwan, the best interests of the United States is to maintain stability across the Taiwan Strait, not war." He told reporters.

In addition to a number of strategic interests, U.S. military interest groups obviously do not want to lose this fat arms sales to Taiwan.

Russian defense analyst 士塞尔吉巴 Palma Denisov wrote yesterday, "While Americans are trying to implementation of the Beijing 'Chinese version of" Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty "(START)', and limit the development of the Chinese navy and air force, so far the United States no particular success can show off. "

However, in the interests of the Taiwan issue in China often damaged, 巴尔马索夫 advice given is to upgrade Taiwan arms deal could become the next U.S. diplomatic bargaining chip in exchange of interests, the situation was already clear after Libya, Syria, the problem may once again put on the negotiating table.

Sino-Indian border and India will deploy four Super Su-30 squadron

Core Tip: According to the Indian Air Force sources, the "super Sukhoi" Pakistan will have to protect the great Indian air superiority. Although the specific delivery period has not yet announced, but the Indian military will be deployed first in 2015, a total of four squadrons of the "super Sukhoi." It is reported that these new aircraft will be deployed in the northeast of China and India leading edge adjacent to the airport base.


Data for: Indian Air Force Su-30MKI multi-purpose fighter.

According to Russian military Messenger, Sept. 26 reported that Russia and India the fifth-generation fighter aircraft jointly developed by the work currently under way. However, in this new aircraft in service, the Indian will be equipped with a performance very close to the early Five machines of advanced fighter aircraft - Russia has agreed to provide the latest printed version of the Su-30MKI, the majority of the aircraft with five generations of machine performance , including the ability to avoid radar detection of stealth.In the recent meeting of the Moscow air show, Russia and India both have "super Sukhoi" specific technical features of the agreement.

Currently, the Indian Air Force were equipped with more than 100 Su-30MKI, the future number of the type of fighter aircraft will be gradually increased to 280-300, and subsequent models will be equipped with the latest version of the Su-30MKI - "Super Su graduated Iraq. "

According to the Indian Air Force sources, the "super Sukhoi" Pakistan will have to protect the great Indian air superiority. Although the specific delivery period has not yet announced, but the Indian military will be deployed first in 2015, a total of four squadrons of the "super Sukhoi." It is reported that these new aircraft will be deployed in the northeast of China and India leading edge adjacent to the airport base.

According to the Indian Air Force Su-30 fighter replacement program, India will be the first out of 18 older Su-30K, replace them with five generations of machine performance will be "super Sukhoi." Indian Air Force Su-30K's avionics system has significantly lagged behind the Su-30MKI. In 18 out of the fighters were in there 10 has been provided to Belarus, and the remaining eight will be delivered in November this year.

According to Indian media reports, the "super Sukhoi" will be equipped with improved avionics system installed in the new cockpit, new onboard computer, electronic warfare equipment and "beetle-AE" active phased array radar. It is reported that the latest "super Sukhoi" will have to launch the "BrahMos" supersonic cruise missiles.

In mid-December 2010 when there was news that the Indian Air Force Su-30MKI program for the equipment, "beetle-AE" active phased array radar.Presumably, the new radar will dress for the Su-30MKI in the above process for the upgrade. Indian Air Force Su-30MKI is equipped with passive-type N011M phased array radar. N011M target of a class of fighters maximum detection distance of 140 km and can track up to 15 air targets and guide the missile while attacking one of the four. And "beetle-AE" a class of fighters maximum target detection range 200 km and can reach up to track 30 targets simultaneously and one of the eight attack.

At the same time, India's Hindustan Aeronautics and the Russian leadership to the joint implementation plan with confidence FGFA Five machines. T-50 prototype aircraft has been in this year's Moscow air show flying display. India is expected to become the United States and Russia, but also a fifth generation fighter aircraft equipped with the state.

New Russian Air Force planes in order to upgrade the old machine or difficult decisions

Core Tip: Some people say that the Russian military equipment, strategy changes leading to Air Force active duty big old equipment, the culprit of frequent accidents, the state should concentrate on active duty aircraft overhaul and improvement. It was also said weakness in the domestic aviation industry, mass production of new aircraft in the case, further reduce the size of the Air Force, out of old aircraft, is an effective solution.


Data for: 1990 Russia had tried to sell to the Chinese MiG-31, but failed to get China's favor. China chose the Su-27 series of multi-type aircraft.

Active equipment, outdated danger stacked up, fitted out a new batch yet time machine

September 6, place the Russian Air Force MiG-31 fighters of the crash has been in the past two weeks, but the resulting problems caused by the Russian air force since the great debate continues. It is said that military equipment is leading to major changes in strategy the Air Force active-duty equipment, accident-prone old culprit, the state should concentrate on active duty aircraft overhaul and improvement. It was also said weakness in the domestic aviation industry, mass production of new aircraft in the case, further reduce the size of the Air Force, out of old aircraft, is an effective solution.

Active older fighters as "hostages"

Russian Air Force MiG-31 heavy fighter crash occurred on September 6 incident, the findings indicate that an engine air parking is an important reason leading to the accident. September 16, RIA Novosti military commentator 博格丹诺夫 this article that, MiG-31 twice in less than one year, crashes, serious enough to prove the aging Air Force fleet of aircraft in urgent need of repair, improvement. However, in recent years the state level to make a strategic adjustment of military equipment, in fact, active duty Air Force combat aircraft to become a "hostage."

Two years ago, high-level Russian government to make major decisions, the Air Force equipment from the original focus of the work "to improve the active-duty equipment based" to "focus on procurement of new aircraft," repair and upgrade service aircraft thus relegated to secondary status. In 博格丹诺夫 view, affected by the policy, active-duty combat aircraft MiG-31, Su-27, MiG-29 and Su-25 and other models of improvement work has been slowed.

Currently the Russian Air Force MiG-31 equipped with a 180, since 2008, more than 20 aircraft to be improved as БМ type. Moscow Air Show in August, the Russian Air Force has signed with manufacturers 30 MiG-31 to improve the contract, but said that factories are heavy losses, the outlook is not optimistic about contract enforcement.

Su-27 has improved the problem. A few years ago Russia's Far East Military District began to equip the improved Soviet-27СМ3, but the improvement is less than the number of Russian Su-27 the total number of active duty Air Force (250 aircraft) of 20%.

MiG-29 was even worse. Launched 12 years ago was sold to the improved MiG-29СМТ Algeria 24, but at the end of 2007 have been returned. Alfonso return the aircraft due to suspected poor quality of equipment and spare parts.

It is worth mentioning that the famous Tu-160 supersonic strategic bombers have also been equipped with the New Deal affected the Air Force. According to Russia, "Izvestia" reported on September 16, the current Russian Defense Ministry and the Joint НК-32 engine companies in the production of engine problems on the occurrence of serious differences. The focus of dispute between the two: the military can only buy 4-6 engines per year, while the manufacturer maintains more than 20 units sold per year in order to preserve capital. The paper thus worried, Tu-160 bombers will face no new engine can be equipped with the risk.

Several promising new models

Some experts in the media and entangled in the fate of the Air Force when the old equipment, the Russian Air Force pilot in the new equipment installed in and out but came good news. September 19, Su-34 heavy bomber to complete the formal acceptance testing state, the Russian Air Force Commander Zelin sign the acceptance certificate, announced after the government ordered the equipment is expected next year, kind,. On the same day, the Sukhoi company also came news of the depth of the Su-27 Su-35С improved multi-role fighter has entered the acceptance stage, and had carried out a large number of tests showed that its performance is superior to similar foreign models, such as "gust", EF-2000 and so on.

Last December, Russian President formally approved the overall $ 1.9 trillion rubles in 2011-2020 national plan of military equipment. Under the plan, in the next 10 years, the Russian Air Force to buy 600 new aircraft and thousands of helicopters, including five generations of machine Т-50, Su-35С and Su-34, MiG-35 light machine, Su-25СМ attack aircraft, Il-76 military transport aircraft and security -70, -52 m-28НМ and card armed helicopters. Under the plan, in 2015, the Russian Air Force Su-48 fitted out-35С, 12 Su-27СМ3, 4 Su-30М2 and 32 Su-34 and so on. But in the meantime, the Russian Air Force still had a large number of old fighters continue to venture into space.

Tinkering or downsizing?

Russian Air Force is concerned, the state attaches great importance to the work of military equipment and the Air Force part of the project's smooth implementation of the new equipment is certainly a blessing, but the poor state of active-duty equipment is the Russian Air Force to face a serious problem.

RIA Novosti military commentator 博格丹诺夫 that in the new aircraft fitted out in large quantities until the Russian Air Force is unlikely to completely change the status of frequent accidents. Must also be well aware that the Air Force dress is a long process. To maintain the air force, now the only way out is to concentrate on active duty aircraft maintenance and improvement, the accident flight will continue to increase.

In this regard, the Russian Air Force Commander Yinie first general view of gold are not the same. In an interview, "Viewpoint" interview, said that now many people want to give the Russian aircraft marked "the old, unreliable" label, which is untenable, the U.S. B-52 bombers have been in service for 50 years, still came to the Moscow air show. The key is the country is now unable to mass production aircraft, which is different from the former Soviet Union, when the number of aircraft to be eliminated soon have the same number of aircraft coming up. In this case, he believes that further effective measures are compressed air, and gradually a unified model.
