China has far more than outsiders imagine master carrier technology

Core Tip: Beijing military analysts pointed out that Yang Yujun confirmed "Varyag" was made to block use of cable installations that China's aircraft carrier grasp of the technology to be more understanding than the outside world. Block search is to ensure a smooth landing on the carrier aircraft's important device. Prior to the outside world that the claim block device is the construction of aircraft carriers China has yet to own one of the important technical problems.

Data for: sea platform for Chinese aircraft carrier pilot.


Data Figure: China sea the third test aircraft platform return.

[Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported on December 30] Title: Chinese aircraft carrier complete its third sea trial

China's first aircraft carrier platform (the "Varyag" was) completed the third nine-day sea trial, returned yesterday morning at Dalian Port. Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Yangyu Jun 28, said Chinese carrier platform early sea trials have been carried out to achieve the desired results, currently scheduled for follow-up research trials at sea.

From late November to yesterday, "Varyag" was more than a month in a row in a second and third sea trial, and has triggered widespread concern in the Chinese military fans.Hong Kong media reported that the "Varyag" was a breakthrough has been made in sea trials completed in China's carrier-based aircraft carrier takeoff and landing tests.Currently there are no carrier has been engineering and technical issues, the official has fully complied with the conditions of service, the specific time depends on political considerations of Chinese leaders, China is expected early next year round this century can dream.

But Yang Yujun yesterday in response to the "Varyag" sea trial of the issue, said that the aircraft carrier research and test platform is a long process, based on operational need, the aircraft carrier at sea platform in the future will continue to carry out relevant tests and training.

Yang Yujun also refers to the sale of the Russian aircraft carrier refused to block China's reported claim "unfounded." He said that China's aircraft carrier platform for major systems and equipment, including cable, including blocking, are independently developed and modified.

Beijing military analysts pointed out that Yang Yujun confirmed "Varyag" was to block the use of domestic cable device, that China's aircraft carrier grasp of the technology to be more understanding than the outside world. Block search is to ensure a smooth landing on the carrier aircraft's important device. Prior to the outside world that the claim block device is the construction of aircraft carriers China has yet to own one of the important technical problems.

Yesterday, military fans have posted a "Varyag" was blocked cable installation photos.From the photo, "Varyag" was on the deck with two rows of clear curved block Suoji seat, one row of the top up, the other a row is not the top up, display "Varyag" was, it has been installed the block cable device.

[BBC website reported December 29] China's first aircraft carrier to complete the third nine-day sea trial mission.

According to the Liaoning Maritime Safety Administration of sailing before the warning, the aircraft carrier at sea trials again this month, 21 noon today to complete sea trials and return Dalian Port dock.

According to Chinese media reports, the aircraft carrier sailed into Hong Kong route and the first two differ, the carrier was in the Anchorage side of the arc into the territory, turning twice during the required adjustments to increase into the territory difficult. In the five tugs assisted the successful completion of the aircraft carrier docks.

[Hong Kong "Sing Tao Daily" reported on December 30] Title: "Varyag" return the third sea trial

China's first aircraft carrier platform "Varyag" was the end of the third sea trial yesterday, returned Dalian Port. China's military said aircraft carried out to sea trials and training related to the future will be the norm.

L2 noon yesterday, when the half, "Varyag" was the third time to complete sea trials for 9-day mission, the return of Dalian Port berths. Military fans noticed that the sea trial the highest tower at the back of the aircraft carrier has a new flag flying side. However, the introduction of the second sea trials in the eye of the space-borne tanker truck did not appear again.

[Hong Kong "Daily News" reported on December 30] Title: Chinese aircraft carrier complete its third sea trial

China aircraft carrier yesterday to complete a nine-day sea trial of the third task, in the 12:30 or so back to Dalian, Liaoning Province. Chinese military said the aircraft carrier sea trials and training, the future may become the norm.

Liaoning Maritime Safety Administration had issued navigational warnings show that the southeastern Yellow Sea, Dalian, northern waters, from at 8:00 on December 21 to at 10:00 on December 29, there are ships sailing test, ordered the ship to enter prohibited.In at 11:10 on the 29th or so, China's aircraft carrier in Dalian port anchorage area, further confirmed the carrier conducted sea trials.

28 morning, at five tugs assisted the successful completion of the aircraft carrier docks.12:24, the pier salute sing for 5 minutes. Salute to stop, the aircraft carrier 3 whistle sound, 12:55 or so to complete the aircraft carrier berthing. Returned the aircraft carrier sea trials at the highest tower with a new flag flying side on the deck of the staff did not return as the second sea trial when lined up on deck, they are scattered around the deck busy.

Major General Luo Yuan: China has emerged on the carrier cable and hook block


Core Tip: Luo said the most important sea aircraft carrier take-off platform. Take-off and landing aircraft it has a high demand. Third sea trial when we have found in the painting appeared on the flight deck flight runway markers, hanging cord and hook block have emerged.


Microblogging friends made plans, China's aircraft carrier block cable clearly visible.



Microblogging friends made plans, China's aircraft carrier block cable clearly visible.

PLA Major General, China Society of Military Science 30, Deputy Secretary-General Luo Yuan said in an interview, several sea trials fully reflects the nature of Chinese aircraft carrier, is used for research and training.

Luo said, "State of the weapon" aircraft carrier at sea three times, the transformation of the Chinese Navy is an important aspect. Aircraft carrier is a platform for joint operations at sea, air, sea, one can also be implemented, so it is an important platform for joint operations battle. He believes that the carrier several sea trials, may reflect the following:

First, the construction of aircraft carriers is to have a cycle.

Luo pointed out that the carrier formed from the water began trials to combat, generally have a cycle. So we have to act in accordance with scientific laws, not be so anxious haste makes waste. For example, he said, France's Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier formed from the sea to combat the last ten years with the U.S. aircraft carrier technology is relatively mature, "Nimitz" to the final formation of the sea from combat pilot have four to five years.

"We are completely self-made, from scratch, if just to learn to drive, at least have a look at the manual, we are not even operating manual, have to start from scratch, re-write these instruments." He said some of the data availability, equipment running, will take time. So we have to constantly test, continuous run, solve the problem after problem.

Second, several sea trials fully reflect the nature of Chinese aircraft carrier, is used for research and training.

Luo said the carrier's ability to test in the end how the sea is the sea running, running will find any problems, various weapons and equipment, how to match the level in the end. For example, an aircraft carrier in a narrow space, there is light radar weather radar, surveillance radar, navigation radar. These radar as long as the boot, to be the formation of some self-interference. How these issues it ruled out? Try to keep it.

He pointed out that the most important sea aircraft carrier take-off platform. Take-off and landing aircraft it has a high demand. Third sea trial when we have found in the painting appeared on the flight deck flight runway markers, hanging cord and hook block have emerged. Aircraft, vessels and planes like how one can do, which is very large and difficult, because the aircraft carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing aircraft is not the same, which is the psychological quality of the pilot is very high.

Luo Yuan said, especially when landing, the aircraft carrier has four block search, can not slow down when the pilot came back, If we slowed down, fell into the sea, no way. Or to maintain the original flight because of the speed, such as 300 kilometers per hour, put a sudden look, look into the zero km, this time for your physical, psychological and physiological impact is very large.

"It is to test aircraft carrier, the process is very long, so we said, it is necessary to an aircraft carrier as a training ship to ship-in-one to improve the pilot's ability to improve the level of his flight." Luo said.

Beidou system uses chips made in China


Core Tip: December 27, the State officially announced the Beidou satellite navigation system started trial operation, which, combined with satellite navigation and dedicated hardware ASIC made the application processor solutions, the Beidou satellite navigation chip as a major breakthrough. The processor consists of developing China's domestic IC design companies, breaking the electronic end-products industry, a situation commonly used by foreign processors.


Data for: RF chip.



Data for: soc and core sung Compass satellite chip.

December 27, the State officially announced the Beidou satellite navigation system test run starts, marking China's own satellite navigation industry entered a new stage of development. Among them, the satellite navigation hardware with a dedicated ASIC made the application processor solutions, as Beidou satellite navigation chip, a major breakthrough. The processor is supported by research and development of China's domestic IC design companies, with independent intellectual property rights and has achieved large-scale application, breaking the electronic end-products industry, a situation commonly used by foreign processors.

Satellite navigation devices used in the navigation baseband and RF chips, is the highest technological content and value-added sectors, directly affect the entire industry. In the navigation baseband, in general, dedicated ASIC hardware circuit through the navigation processor solutions with applications to achieve. Prior to the application of multi-processor chips use the ARM processor core foreign companies are required to pay foreign IP core license fees at the same time, technology is also controlled by others, not completely solve the problem of industrial safety security and confidentiality.

The application and popularization through the establishment of major projects and industrial projects, etc., Beidou Navigation multi-mode baseband and RF chips localization has been achieved, is particularly worth mentioning is that China's own Beidou application processors are multi-mode navigation chips been large-scale application.

It is reported that the BD / GPS multi-mode baseband chip solutions, satellite navigation with dedicated hardware ASIC made an application processor to create a true sense of the "Chinese core." The application processor developed for the domestic completely independent CPU / DSP cores, including the instruction set, compiler and other software tool chain, and all key technologies, all with 100% of China's independent intellectual property rights. It has the international advanced level of multi-threaded architecture, can share a lot of hardware resources, and provide considerable processing power of multicore processors at the same time, saving the cost of chip.

The satellite navigation based on the domestic processor chip program modules, is the world's smallest BD / GPS dual-mode module, with high positioning accuracy, fast start-up time and low power consumption, access to many car manufacturers control terminal recognition The module is based on nearly one hundred production of terminal manufacturers, silicon chip has nearly one hundred thousand.

Forwards to microblogging
December 30, Dalian, China returned the third time trials aircraft carrier moored in Dalian shipyard berths.




PLA Major General, China Society of Military Science 30, Deputy Secretary-General Luo Yuan BEIJING guest "News Let's Talk" that, as a carrier battle group is concerned, China is now "everything is ready is money", other categories of ships have been are in place, now just short of aircraft carriers.

Luo said that China carriers are not the same road with other countries, China is from the "Varyag" was started. He said that the introduction of this step we come out the next step is how to absorb and digest the issues, and finally the formation of new fighting. Now we take the absorption and digestion in this step.

Said Luo Yuan, general maritime aircraft carrier is a take-off platform, it is to be formed into a complete fighting system, modern warfare is not the antithesis of single-ship platform, but the system as antithesis. Around an aircraft carrier to have a lot of auxiliary ships, such as destroyers, frigates, submarines, and supply ship. A U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups at least ten ships.

"Now, as a carrier battle group is concerned, everything is ready we are only a strong wind." Luo said, we have other categories of ships are equipped, guided missile destroyers, guided missile frigates, nuclear submarines, as well as some large supply boats We also have, and now just short of aircraft carriers.

Why do we put the "Varyag" was an experimental ship? Luo said that in addition to its own technical characteristics of continuous running, research, exploration, there is a bigger problem is how to form a carrier battle group.

"Why is the captain of an aircraft carrier which generally have flying experience and the experience of such a large number of maritime fleet commanders to serve as both have the ability to fly formation but also the ability to form the sea." Luo said, "Kuznetsov cell "was as a training ship is necessary.

J-20 air to air missiles, air ejection with a successful test

F-20 air to air missiles, air ejection with a successful test


Core Tip: In 2011, the missile homes in the aircraft industry, has a symbolic meaning too.Bid for a new generation of radar products, shape new IR product design, inspection, etc. of a type approved nine experiments, in the past six months, to ensure the completion of major tasks of the test, part of the cadres and workers, parting the home, a mission, desert expedition, to write the song desert song.

Data for: the U.S. F-22 stealth fighters flying in open bomb bay, missile down in the bomb bay need to catapult to launch smoothly forward flight.


Data for: Chinese J-20 belly, open bomb bay side of the fuselage when the photo. China needs developed for the F-20 air to air missile launching catapult.


Data for: air to air missile launch, there are two forms, one for rail launch, two for the catapult launch; catapult launch missile bunker bomb is mainly used for the stealth fighter.

In 2011, the missile homes in the aircraft industry, has a symbolic meaning too. Bid for a new generation of radar products, shape new IR product design, inspection, etc. of a type approved nine experiments, about the win, "second five" good start and missile development and the fate of the future hospital. Over the past six months, to ensure the completion of major tasks of the test, part of the cadres and workers, parting the home, a mission, desert expedition, composed of a desert song.

Thrilling interpretation of test team

Successfully launched a test site ground rockets, based on the command hall of the screen clearly displays the product launch out of the picture - the product of the tail dragging spectacular and beautiful smoke steadily gliding. However, after about 10 seconds, then began to smoke corkscrew tail ... ... At this point, the test is command hall watching a joke in the higher-level hospital with serious missile designer Fankuai Tao said: "Lao Fan, this is not your intention to design as such, right? "Fan Huitao seriously explained:" It is not, in such a situation there may be some reason. "

Although the test results prove that the product's safety and stability are normal, but the rotation of questions for the late development of staff was very puzzled. Fan Huitao requirements, we must solve this problem.

The next day, hospital vice president of the missile division Liao Zhizhong Luoyang began to research on the back. Although at a time when the National Day, has been out of his home field, have no feelings of the holidays at home, but to tackle the problems of personnel, organization of field research but also in here. Decided to do a diagnostic test during the National Day. October 6, starting at home and field assembled at the same time, 8 the test done.

Because of the weather, October 9 test was smooth and successful. Product launch and sprint straight ahead without the slightest trace of rotation. They have been busy during the National Day, a rare feel relaxed.

10 noon, after a simple meal, field testing personnel rushed to the task of the next test point. They travel in the desert road, a thin long road stretches thousands of kilometers, runs through the vast Gobi Desert. Start the car also speak, and later it was getting dark, more and more difficult road to go, we more and more nervous, the car became silent, staring at the front are tight. After more than 10 hours of intense driving, 22 at night when they finally arrived safely

Transit place, and here there is the ultimate destination from more than 200 kilometers.

The next morning, in their nervousness has not had time to relax, they learned the news of the next task withdrawal, we were speechless, where stupid. This is the external field, which is the task, its uncertainty must be allowed for each team are always a tension test ready.

Desert, "Aviation Day"

October 26, Institute for the missile is a good day. More test team analogy, this is "Luoyang Day."

October 25, the missile homes test team got the news: three models and arranged experiments, and flight five sorties. The news, like a shot in the arm, so that all players are very excited about the pilot - flew five sorties - Missile School special!

October 26, a breeze, sunny day. This is rare in the Gobi Desert, is a rare good day to do experiments. To this day trial, at the base of leadership and all the players out, we highly centralized, closely, carefully, five experiments carried out in accordance with an orderly plan.

The first vehicles: a new generation of radar products air ejection test a complete success!

The second movements: a new infrared products in joint training successfully completed!

Third movements: a new generation of radar products tethered test successfully completed!

The fourth movements: a model approved inspection test a complete success!

Fifth vehicles: a new generation of radar products tethered test successfully completed!

"Luoyang Day", a creation of a new missile test record field hospital the day.

November 1, 2011, when people are waiting for the "Shenzhou" 八号 successfully launched at the same time, in another war, the aviation industry pioneer batch of new infrared products have great success at trial; the second generation of radar products air missiles ejection test successfully completed. This day also called "Aviation Day."

Pioneer batch of new IR product testing and the second generation of radar product launch test missiles air twists and turns.

New IR product testing team approach has been 20 days, and so have people waiting for a good test anxiety. A new generation of radar products to conduct five air ejection test, the node is the delay time can not afford. A trial team that experiments must be like "God eight" as successful. To the external field, the sun began to rise slowly from the vast Gobi, testing players in the beauty of nature in an orderly manner to prepare the test work.

10:20 and 10:50, the new infrared products with a new generation of radar pioneer batch of the product at the second trial made the successful completion of the air ejection, was a complete success!

One day in the Gobi Desert "Four Seasons"

Gobi Desert in late autumn, temperature difference, although the golden sun sweetly thrown into the earth to be the temperature did not show the slightest warmth, morning temperatures are below zero fifty-six degrees. Although the test team to wear jacket, down jacket, wearing a hat, scarf, but still feel Hanqixiren.

October 26, the first generation of radar products made after the successful launch of the air ejection test, Liao Zhizhong quickly organized people to pick up debris on the Gobi Desert.

To the destination, we started a high kick, low kick by positioning the direction of finding the wreckage. Perhaps the role of the sun produces more and more strongly, perhaps eager to pick up the wreckage of the effect of running, we felt cold was gradually dispersed, a spring-like warmth began to soak the whole body. Some people began to shout hot, some people started off the jacket.

Successfully found the wreckage. So we ride, ready to return, no longer feel the "spring-like warmth," but "coming summer."

Car in an oasis in the Gobi Desert has been sun exposure for several hours, the temperature inside soared to 20 degrees directly as a oven. Test players have completely feeling the heat of summer.

This is the weather in the Gobi desert, one day, people feel the seasons four seasons.

Cold lunch

In early December, though not a winter season, but desert it has shown a unique bleak and cold - test base of several huge artificial lake has been formed to drive a car of ice; carts small car test team have become unfit for drinking mineral water ice. At outdoor temperature is minus 20 degrees Celsius. Cold, they began to test pilot team.

December 6, tethered to conduct three flight

Test. After the first rounds of testing, the time has come to lunch. At this point, the temperature field at minus fourteen five degrees Celsius. Lunch is brought in a lunch box car, a box of food. Team members took meals in the cold to run around, stunned even a place to put boxes can not find. After all, is minus ten degrees, accompanied by cold, then hot food without opening the boxes cover, will become an instant cold rice. Team members say, open boxes can only dig the middle of eating, to suffer on the ground and exposed to in the above section, has been frozen stiff. From the driver led to the missile homes, like all players, without exception, in the cold open-air dining.

We like this, a cold rice, a cold wind, just to fill his stomach immediately went to work.

Sick, vice president of external field

If a highly responsible, energetic, dedicated work and other terms to describe the working status of the missile, vice president of Meng Qingfeng more appropriate. Because of this working state, the trial team he won a "most respectable man of action" word of mouth.

Meng Qingfeng Southerners have a unique lean physique, gives the impression that quick thinking, action and agile, powerful language. But after all he is more than 50 years of age, and waist and has a serious illness, can not catch cold.

Meng Qingfeng early November to the base, from the day he went to, not clear here, there is to coordinate the progress of both the bidding products or key model of batch inspection, he is extremely concerned about the progress of all the well known test .

At any time, to see if he is always an energetic, preoccupied state. A few days, outside the base unit is training for war, that magnificent scene indeed shocking, but it was really tight, after all, play is development and production of missiles, missile homes. Result, the first hair play is not ideal. I saw Meng Qingfeng while sitting there quiet stern look, while up and saying something to the security team, while pacing back and forth on the outside, while discussions with military personnel ... ...

Training back on the road watching the war, Meng Qingfeng thoughtful but firm voice, said: "Be sure to tell the House of cadres and workers of the missile, we design and production of missiles, not enough light to hit the target, the target must be completely destroyed! "

Night, Meng Qingfeng any connection with the test team to pick up the wreckage of the depths of the Gobi, and more until 0:00 came back, ate dinner, cold and hungry; day

7 test team starting the morning, he appeared full of energy at the test site; afternoon he appeared in the product loading and unloading site until 6 pm. Full 12 hours, not sit down to a meal, drink water, has been running around. A team, said: "Meng, vice president for several days, and are 0:00 to sleep, up at 6 am ..." The results that evening, he fell ill, was admitted to the base hospital.

The next morning, many players find Meng Qingfeng not eat breakfast, only that he fell ill in the hospital, we spontaneously have come to the hospital to see him. Just one night, he has been sick and was emaciated, past the "Monteggia" style, disappeared. Some players out of the room, quietly shed tears of heartache. The next day, he was transferred treatment.

Meng Qingfeng is such thinking is always at high speed, action is also fast with the single-minded in to work, all the energy in the dry work. Summed up his style of work is embodied in the word - responsibility! Product liability, professional responsibility, the responsibility of the troops, the state's responsibility.

Heroine desert style show

Gobi desert, armored cavalry, and women seem to have little. However, the field test team is active in a group of heroine, who was in secondary school some children, some children just in kindergarten, as a mother, how much they miss the heart and care, and how much worry and guilt, and perhaps only their hearts most clearly. They are absolutely the backbone of the unit, it is definitely the main force in the test team. Modify the program, analyze the data, overtime, late at night is almost normal. They often heard here, said: "Last night and get two more." Sunrise as a section chief expert, not only has a very strong affinity, and everyone else usually has to work overtime, late at night. Each time a test mission, she had to work at the command of the hall, sitting in the position of the first row of the most aside, twisted his neck to look at the big screen. Often experiments over, her neck is also fast dislocation.

They are the missile homes on the research front, female representation, but also for the aviation industry to contribute to the development of outstanding representatives.

The cultural heritage of dedication to the blood

Mission on the way, the vehicle unfortunately stuck in the desert, everyone all means, they can not let the car out. At this point it was proposed: the boss

If the coat shop in the following, the car can come out. CEOs took off his coat, laid on the wheel, the car was successfully launched. CEOs on the edge of the dust coat while shaking slightly blame asked: "Why say that earlier?" The man said: "Well is not distressed your coat." Boss replied: "Forget coat, that I lie down to make car came out, I am willing. "

This touching scene, not the movie clip, but the former hospital chief architect of the late Dong missile Bingyin left the true story of the desert. The missile footprint hospital senior test team marching forward, experiencing the desert desolate, cold, lonely test, acceptance of the desert rough, resolute, honest, he argued.

Ya Ke is a test team test team leader, 33 years old, he was out for 6 games his birthday; since her daughter was born, and never had the opportunity to give her birthday. He said, I hope this product can successfully design finalized next year, the whole family together, no regrets for his daughter had a birthday.

Test section of Pei Wen team is the absolute main test team, he won the leadership ability to work a strong trust in each field experiments are indispensable to him. His children 11 years old this year, but he did not accompany the child a few days. These 11 years, he reached base 26 times to a total, together for the days of the desert, far more than his family time.

"Our team, what stories are typical, with his wife is pregnant fast production; have relatives who are sick in the hospital in need of care; have postponed again and again because the experiments date of marriage; are just in love with his girlfriend two months to go base; have hurried to the blind do not have time; have already separated the two and now more difficult to meet ... "test team, Vice Minister Liu Yueqing host says.

When asked at the base to be a four or five months, we want to go home, Liu Yueqing said firmly: "go home? Can not think now would like to." He said, "Here is the final exams of the product of team work style, will, and also a final exam. Our team is a stand exams! "

Vast desert, heavy grit, is the horizon of the fold, is the time of the ring, the missile homes is growing footprint, witness the development of the aviation industry. Missile homes Thunderbolt fighters and always before the line depths of the Gobi desert, they let the immortal legend, written into the start of the fourth missile homes go down in history, written into the annals of China's aviation career.

U.S. drone flying manned aircraft beyond the total time

U.S. drone flying manned aircraft beyond the total time


Core Tip: about 7000 U.S. UAVs, flight time beyond the manned attack aircraft, pilots now have more control of unmanned aerial vehicles in an airplane continent rather than practice.

Data for: U.S. Predator unmanned aerial vehicle.


Data for: the U.S. Fire Scout UAV.

[United States "Time" magazine January 9, 2012 an (early publication) article] Title: 2012: Invisible Force (Author Mark Thompson)

The military is concerned, this is indeed a new era. Today's generals need is more compact, can have a remote control and intelligent weapons.

In short, they want more UAVs. They can be firmly locked terrorists, can carry more payload storage, and so far the best produced in the United States spy - even occasionally intercepted in Iran, or crash landing in a secret base.

UAVs play an active role in 2011, their popularity growing, because another buzzword is sustainability, that is a UAV or satellite has been pegged to the target, until there are important things happen.

U.S. expanding UAV team skeleton staff is MQ-1 "predator" and MQ-9 "death." Although these weapons requires a 180-member team to work on the ground flight control and manipulate their sensors, analysis of collected data and is responsible for maintenance, but the UAV Unlike humans, these weapons themselves do not need sleep.

The United States about 7000 UAVs, manned flight beyond the attack aircraft, pilots now have more control of unmanned aerial vehicles in an airplane continent rather than practice.

U.S. weapons and equipment become so small and lethal, so that did not need the U.S. Army - in fact without any arms - you can put them to the battlefield or to use them. CIA in the past limited the use of large-caliber pistols and explosive cigars; today they are using unmanned aerial vehicles, but not this particular secret. Almost unknown in the case of the public, at least in Congress, under the supervision of these stealth fighters since the September 11 attacks has been killed around the world about hiding in 2000 was recognized as a terrorist. This year that figure should rise further.

But if the relative jet fighter, the unmanned aerial vehicles more economical, then, on the other hand they are also more vulnerable to attack. Latest of the "death" UAV cost $ 8 million per aircraft, but a decent air defense network can be shot down, or by interference, the invasion of the computer control system allowed to fail. Advantage of this technology in the United States is weakening.

Therefore, scientific research institutions across the country are busy scientists and engineers to create version 2.0 UAV technology, thereby increasing their payload, and enhance their stealth, etc.:

More effective radar-absorbing coatings and improved electronic defense capabilities, will enable the next generation of UAVs flying over enemy airspace greater chance of success.

The engine will make more sophisticated unmanned aircraft to fly faster, higher payload.The next generation of "predators" UAV - jet "Avenger" - the flight speeds of up to 500 miles per hour, than the current turbo propeller "Death" unmanned aerial vehicles by about 50% faster.

In addition, the UAV's sensors will be able to more clearly captured the image, and can return the necessary information before data on mass screening.

Wider bandwidth will strengthen and between aircraft and ground control personnel more effective and safer links, more conducive to decision-making.

"Avenger" unmanned aerial vehicles capable of carrying 2,000-pound bombs, is the "death" four times the carrying capacity.

The new missile will be equipped with inertial measurement unit, the UAV can attack the goal behind it. The new UAV will use radar and laser imaging device, in order to improve accuracy.

Japan's next-generation fighter is still no guarantee that the selected F-35 air superiority in East Asia

Core Tip: December 20, the Japanese government formally decided to selected Air Self Defense Force F-35 next-generation main fighter (FX), so far, only the F-35 Air Force F-35A model delivered to the Air Force a small amount. For the outside world generally concerned about the early four F-35 can be delivered on schedule in 2016, Japan's problems.

Data Figure: Japan Air Self Defense Force active duty fighter F-2.


Data for: F-35 fighter.

December 20, the Japanese government formally decided to selected Air Self Defense Force F-35 next-generation main fighter (FX), Ministry of Defense released a report on the same day of the assessment scoring project assessment results. F-35 stealth with superior performance, versatility and good performance, funding, maintenance and other indicators were the highest score, with "overwhelming advantage" over competitors F/A-18 and "Typhoon" fighters. It is reported that Japan plans to introduce 42 F-35A fighter aircraft to replace aging F-4EJ fighters, and equip two squadrons.

For the performance of the F-35, Japan's Ministry of Defense and Air Self Defense Force feels that, "The aircraft has full stealth performance, quick and accurate integration of ground radar and the 'Aegis' ships of the information, and promptly communicated to the pilot, can build a comprehensive system of combat power, with very good performance. "According to reports, the U.S. Government has made clear that the Japanese government, sold to the Japanese F-35 can be an exception to the joint R & D related to a country other than display stealth technology, aircraft parts to allow some domestic production in Japan.

In Japan, approved the purchase of F-35 A week later, that is, December 27, the Japanese government agreed to substantially relax based on the "three principles of arms exports," the embargo policy, which allows participation in international joint research and development to produce weapons as well as provide equipment for the purpose of humanitarian This is a coincidence, it is inevitable. Reuters believes that arms export policy relaxation, may be Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will participate in the F-35's R & D project the green light.

The timely delivery of F-35?

U.S. F-35 is developed following the F-22A after yet another fifth generation fighter aircraft, the Air Force's air combat performance of the aircraft after that F-22A, and will be 2040 before the world one of the most important multi-role fighters In today's national main fighter, the Air Force's F-22 can be said to stand out, but the high price it produced only 187 would have to shut down production lines. The United States as the world's number one military power, not only for advanced aircraft quality requirements, the number of how many have a direct impact on the overall operational efficiency. "Level with" strategy from the beginning of the 1970s is considered to be a highly effective combination, F-15 and F-16 until today is still an effective mix. This is exactly the F-35 project in mind where. The face of rising cost of aircraft development cost limitations and the defense forces, the U.S. Defense Department has been working to find a low life-cycle cost is reasonable, and three different military services to meet the design requirements.F-35 program described bright future, making it the date of birth, became the Air Force a lot of people's minds to solve the problem of future medicine.

The stealth combat aircraft, the Air Force pursued the goal of States, "before the enemy discovered that the first enemy attack" is a key determinant of future air battle. For the F-35 project, as the next generation after the United States the main F-22 fighter jets, a high degree of stealth as the main technical indicators. This is the final choice of Japan Air Self Defense Force F-35 as a key reason for the next generation of fighter aircraft.

F-35 fighter project was called the "master" work, included in the design of aircraft conventional takeoff and landing (F-35A), short takeoff and vertical landing (F-35B) and carrier-based (F- 35C) in three different models, including the tasks to be performed into the air from the traditional close air support, battlefield covered in depth as well as attack.This revolutionary design makes airplane parts commonality greatly improved, can effectively reduce the aircraft's long-term maintenance costs, and the U.S. is a cross-age in terms of significance. But such stringent requirements for the F-35 prime contractor Lockheed Martin company, but it is not a small challenge. Strong industrial base for the U.S. aerospace industry provides a powerful support, even so, F-35 project development work is tortuous, three models in the test process are problematic, while soaring price, delivery date is dragged on.

F-35 program of repeated delays, the purchase price of a sky-rocketing makes the project participants including the United States quite dissatisfied with the threat of some countries to reduce or even cancel the order. In fact, so far, only the F-35 Air Force F-35A model delivered to the Air Force a small amount. According to reports, the small amount of F-35A was delivered did not complete all of the pilot project "premature children." For the outside world generally concerned about the early four F-35 can be delivered as scheduled in 2016 in Japan, the Japanese defense ministry's attitude was "if compliance is not possible to cancel the contract." F-35 development as the main body of the U.S. company Lockheed Martin has repeatedly stressed that to achieve the agreed delivery period, "confidence", but has been delayed several times led to the development progress of their confidence in the purchaser is an indisputable fact.

F-35 will reduce Japan's air defense capabilities?

Back in Japan decided to buy F-35 before, had tried to purchase the same in the United States Lockheed Martin F-22, but the U.S. Congress to F-22 stealth technology is highly confidential on the grounds, has repeatedly rejected Japan's purchase request. Visible, although Uncle Sam

Often show poor posture, the key issue of principle, still be able to resist the temptation of money. Why Japanese favorite F-22, the first F-22 as the most powerful double heavy fighter, F-35 combat effectiveness higher than the length, more importantly, F-22 early in the design is defined as one kind of air superiority fighter, responsible for the battlefield to win air superiority. In contrast, F-35 is more focused on combat capability, F-35's thrust-weight ratio is less than a whole can not achieve supersonic cruise, the face of such technical indicators, it is difficult to imagine that it can be effective against such Russian T-50 like the fifth-generation fighter. The lack of air superiority performance, as a national policy for the territorial defense of Japan, had to be a serious shortcoming.

From the United States sold to Japan in the last century, the F-15 point of view, F-35 ground attack capability is likely to be weakened. Relative to the Japanese introduced the F-15 situation, when the F-35 in Japan quantities of equipment, it is hard with neighboring countries to form an effective "generation gap", which is the Japanese media often complain about. For Japan, the air defense fighters and rapid interception capabilities of the combat is more important than to look at the current pace of technological development,

Future F-35 on the battlefield may not be in the "before the enemy discovered that the first enemy attack" on an absolute advantage. From another perspective, but also the weakening of Japan's air defense capability.

According to "Yomiuri Shimbun" reported that Japan chose the F-35 stealth reasons, including its high level of information and Internet features. In accordance with Japan's current defense strategy, talk-to-ground strike missions is a taboo, but the F-35 is another key advantage of stealth technology in the face of asymmetric high-penetration ability. In the past, F-4 air-borne Japanese main task of Lockheed Martin's F-35 can effectively ensure the future of Japan's air superiority, now appears to be a debatable topic.

In fact, the Japanese F-35 is not really choose. "Wall Street Journal" published an article, there are Western experts believe that Japan chose F-35 is under U.S. pressure. With "Jane's Defense Weekly," analyst James Hardy's words, "The United States is Japan's defense and security partners, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force from the 1970s onwards has been equipped with US-made fighters", the implication: present and future are not exception.

The future of Japan's aviation industry geometry?

The final program will be in accordance with Japan to buy 42 F-35, to replace aging US-made F-4 fighters. Delivered in 2016 in which four of funds in fiscal year 2012 Budget request. Each aircraft costs about $ 114 million, plus spare parts, price $ 127 million.

Some of Japan's Kyodo news agency quoted Japanese officials as saying that all 42 fighters 20 years procurement, maintenance and use of total cost, estimated at $ 20,570,000,000. Of course, Japan does not rule out the additional F-35 orders possible, because the Japanese Self-Defense Force fleet of US-made F-15 fighters have been in service for over 30 years, plans to retire after 2020, so the F-35 purchase may also want to increase the number of subsequent Japan Air Self Defense Force 362 existing aircraft, including US-made F-15, F-4 and made F-2.

Japan Air Self Defense Force next-generation fighter finally Whispering U.S. Lockheed Martin, although outside the F-35's operational performance and development progress rather doubt, but Japan chose F-35 seems to have no suspense. "Japan-US alliance is the cornerstone of its foreign policy," this sentence has been widely recognized in Japan since World War II Japan's political, economic, diplomatic, and military-round the side of the United States, especially in the aviation equipment, the more bulk purchase US-made equipment, Even the Japanese claim that self-developed F-2 fighter jets have been seen as the F-16 "plus fat version."

After World War II, the Japanese aviation industry by the United States to be completely avoided for a long period of time,

Can not even produce aircraft. Later, with the growing Cold War confrontation, the United States began selling to Japan and the like, such as F-15 advanced fighter aircraft, and allow Japan to authorize production of the aviation industry. For a long time, Japan does not have independent R & D production aircraft completed the whole process, the key to grasp the core technology is still in the hands of the United States, with such a "handle", F-35 final bid is reasonable.

F-35 program dragged on to become the most expensive from most expensive fighter aircraft, and even foreign media called it the world's largest "fishing project", seems to be in the "gambling." However, the subsequent relaxation of Japan's arms export policy of substantial news has been unable to "display their fists" of Japan's major arms dealers hit a shot in the arm. Some commentators believe that Japan's machinery and electronics industries have very advanced technology, such as Japan's competitiveness can easily open the international market, and even F-35 may be involved in follow-up research and development process. Relax arms export policy and international technical cooperation of Japan's military procurement to reduce costs and increase the number of arms purchases, boosting Japan's military will have a significant effect.

Hong Kong, "Wen Wei Po" 30 published comments that 10 years have passed, the war in Afghanistan so that U.S. debt soared, the economic downturn, high unemployment, Obama had announced that it would withdraw its troops from Afghanistan as soon as possible. But not only did not give the U.S. military in Afghanistan, "democracy and freedom." Today, the U.S. military has been penniless, no choice but to look to rival the Taliban reconciliation, able to "negotiate" means to shake hands, and "decent" to leave Afghanistan.

Article excerpts are as follows:

In December 1979, the former Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan for up to 10 years of war, the CIA's full support in the United States, the Afghan people and finally the Soviets out of Afghanistan. September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked airliner hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington, the U.S. multi-national forces then gathered at October 7, 2001 started the siege of the Taliban in Afghanistan war.

Over the past 10 years, the U.S. debt soared war, economic downturn, high unemployment, a strong public dissatisfaction with the government. White House administration has been tremendous pressure, Obama had announced plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan as soon as possible. Over the past 10 years, not only did not give the U.S. military in Afghanistan, "democracy and freedom." Today, the U.S. military has been penniless, no choice but to look to rival the Taliban reconciliation, able to "negotiate" means to shake hands, and "decent" to leave Afghanistan.

The United States and seeking to negotiate a compromise to the Taliban news was first disclosed by the Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and Washington is always "want to hold partly concealed", neither admitted nor denied. According to senior White House officials recently confirmed that the U.S. military and the Taliban in Afghanistan have conducted several rounds of negotiations, the current into the "critical stage", the negotiations will end 10 years of war to open a breakthrough. U.S. and Taliban peace talks, the U.S. declared war in Afghanistan is equal to the complete failure. In addition to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan the Taliban was the most important goals and slogans, with modern weapons, the NATO Allies Taliban also set more than 10 years, but still can not swallow the piece of hard bone, External and Obama now has no choice but to make a final compromise to the Taliban. Hillary Clinton has also said that air leakage, "reconciliation policy in Afghanistan has become the center of gravity", once again proved the vane has turned to the Taliban in Washington.

Obama, on balance, the final compromise had finalized negotiations with the Taliban, hoping to settling the Afghan problem. Over the past year, the United States has with Omar, the Taliban representative in Germany, Qatar, many rounds of talks. Coordination with the Pakistani intelligence service, another branch of the U.S. and Afghanistan, "Haqqani Network" has also been carried out in June 2011 the local negotiations."Haqqani Network" is the sworn allegiance to Mullah Omar, but there is considerable independence of action. In the negotiations, the Taliban made series of preconditions, including the complete name the Taliban, the release of prisoners in Guantanamo, Cuba, the Taliban, the withdrawal of all military invasion of Afghanistan and so on. In order to get out as soon as possible, the United States for the Taliban demanding no choice but to accept. Planning in the United States, the United Nations has passed a resolution declaring the Taliban is different from the "base" organization.

With the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, the date draws near, the secret talks between the United States and the Taliban is more intense. U.S. urges Taliban to renounce violence, recognize the Afghan government, respect the Afghan constitution, cut off and the "base" organization of all relationships. Because withdrawal is the only option for the United States do nothing, destroy the Taliban has proved to be empty talk. United States is now worried about is whether the U.S. troops in Afghanistan after a smooth and safe, and A Guoan all the key depends on whether to recognize the Taliban government of Afghanistan. Point if you can not break the negotiations will lead to U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan after the outbreak of civil war, which means that the United States launched the war in Afghanistan meaningless. The other hand, the Taliban, in the free movement of the active state, there are sufficient conditions to wait for a comeback after the withdrawal of U.S. troops. Therefore, negotiations on the Taliban, there are more room for maneuver.

U.S. forces on November 26, 2011 air strike in northwestern Pakistan, two border checkpoints, resulting in 24 Pakistani soldiers killed, 13 wounded in Pakistan after the incident blocked in Pakistan to Afghanistan NATO supply lines. Although the United States has repeatedly claimed that the incident was an accident and a tragedy, but also admitted that the U.S. military's responsibility, but Pakistan has never been able to get the understanding. Particularly so dissatisfied Islamabad, the U.S. CIA has been planning a coup in Pakistan, hoping to find mercy of the government can allow the U.S. military. As a U.S. ally, Pakistan with the U.S. war in Afghanistan, under a huge sacrifice, but the United States has accused Pakistan of several sheltered Osama bin Laden, the United States and Pakistan, the Taliban no longer coordinate the negotiations. According to the disclosure of U.S. military officers, if necessary, the U.S. military will continue to implement anti-terrorism into Pakistan, the U.S. military did not show indifference to Pakistan. The deterioration of US-Pakistan relations, of course, increases the Taliban's chips.

U.S. peace talks with the Taliban, there are difficulties in the other five aspects: First views of the various branches of the Taliban are not uniform, and still the main theme of U.S. combat in the end; the second is the United States expects the Afghan government acknowledge Omar, the Taliban always refused to nod; Third, in anticipation of the withdrawal, the Taliban and the U.S. negotiating power smaller; Fourth, the Republicans do not agree with the United States negotiating with the Taliban, the Taliban still considered " terrorists "; Fifth, following the Allied military so long, spent a lot of military spending, suffered a lot, want to rush to get out, do not want to continue to cooperate with Washington. 2001 Allied troops to follow and with the U.S., is sympathetic to the terrorist threat by the United States, is unwilling to continue with, because of the economic crisis and unable to help themselves. More and more people believe that the U.S. military and the Taliban, the wishful thinking of the negotiations not be successful, because the U.S. military withdrawal, the Taliban might launch a large war to overthrow the Afghan government.

U.S. arms sales to Iraq to strengthen Saudi Arabia, Iran, intended to restrict

Core Tip: the afternoon of December 29, the United States and Saudi Arabia announced that it has entered into a new arms sales agreements, sales totaled $ 29.4 billion.Washington also came news that the U.S. government in Iraq will sell about $ 11 billion worth of arms.

Data for: Iraqi Army's M-1 main battle tanks.

The afternoon of December 29, the U.S. State Department held a special briefing, and Saudi Arabia announced that it has entered into a new arms sales agreements, sales totaled $ 29.4 billion.

Saudi Arabia signed the largest single U.S.

U.S. State Department for political, military affairs, Andrew Shapiro, Assistant Secretary of State and the U.S. Department of Defense for policy, James Miller, chief assistant secretary of defense announced that the United States and Saudi Arabia in Riyadh on December 24 has been completed on the arms trade final delivery and acceptance of a single procedure. Under the agreement, Saudi Arabia, the United States to sell 84 F-15SA fighter, and Saudi Arabia, the existing 70 F-15S fighter aircraft fleet upgrade.Americans in particular that produced by the Boeing F-15SA fighter is by far one of the most advanced models.

Last October, the U.S. Congress agrees, the Obama administration reached a decade with the Saudi government $ 60 billion in arms sales agreements, the sale of arms, including 84 new F-15 fighters and a number of Black Hawk helicopters, Apache attackhelicopter, a variety of missiles, bombs and launchers, and radar warning systems and night vision goggles and so on. The new Saudi arms sales will further enhance military strength. In addition to sales outside the United States will provide training in Saudi Arabia. To 2019, there will be 5500 Saudi military training, which will further strengthen military ties.

In addition, Washington also came news that the U.S. government in Iraq will sell about $ 11 billion worth of arms, including the advanced F-16 fighters, M1A1 "Abrams" main battle tanks, artillery , armored personnel carriers, and all kinds of individual equipment.

Double intend to internal and external

U.S. business from these two arms of the move is indeed double-edged sword. Internally, the largest single U.S. arms try to maintain and create jobs as the starting point to serve the Obama administration needs to improve the economic situation. It is reported that Saudi Arabia agreed with this new business will support the arms more than 50,000 jobs in the United States, 600 suppliers for the business, the economic contribution of the United States each year $ 3.5 billion. The deal for the U.S. aviation industry and create jobs throughout the supply chain, to support the U.S. military-industrial complex is essential.

Externally, the two arms have a common point, it is possible for the United States has warned the Strait of Hormuz blockade of Iran. U.S. officials said the arms sales to Saudi Arabia in the Middle East will send a strong message that the United States will firmly committed to the Gulf and Middle East regional stability, to strengthen deterrence and Saudi Arabia against external threats. This will also improve the US-Saudi joint military exercises by the interaction level. Through this sales agreement, the United States and Saudi Arabia made a long-term security partnership "historic achievement", and this partnership will further committed to the security and stability in the Gulf region.

Saudi Arabia, the United States has been leveraging contend Iran. Saudi Arabia is the source of major U.S. oil imports, the United States as an important ally in the Middle East.In the United States, backed by the Saudi military is the strongest country in the region, the Obama administration is constrained to seek the Iranian threat in the Middle East played a new card.

Deep-rooted background factors

U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia is not without objection. Last year's sales scheme has been pro-Israel members of Congress opposed, worried that sales will change the balance of power in the Arab Middle East. But the U.S. government to the Congress to ensure that Israel's military superiority will not be lost. Times have changed, and now the United States and Israel consensus is that Iran could have nuclear bomb is the greatest threat to the region, while Saudi Arabia is Iran's enemies, no doubt with arms sales to Saudi Arabia, "Collateral" effect. Not long ago, U.S. accused Iran of trying to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S., making the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran are more tense. Chai relations more tense, the more the United States as "sidelines" of the situation.

U.S. arms sales to Iraq, has a more deep-rooted is the containment factor. Pentagon spokesman Bryant said the arms sales to Iraq to help Iraq strengthen against external invasion, the subtext is that the U.S. would use force in Iraq, Iran to outflank the northern extension of the hedge force. But just after the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq political situation extremely variable. Including the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, including Jeffrey United States and Iraq, many people are very worried about the development of military relations: if now in power by the Shiite-led government in Baghdad Shiite neighbor Iran backward, U.S. arms sales may be be used to suppress the Sunni Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to consolidate personal power, the result would be "shooting itself in the foot"; if political tensions in Iraq, or even civil war, these arms will be put to better use whatcause for concern. Pollack of the Brookings Institution experts, the United States and others believe that the decision of arms sales to Iraq is very bad. If that is not handled properly, the Obama administration will have negative political consequences.

In response to these concerns, U.S. officials stressed that arms sales to Iraq, its use must be verified by the United States. Some analysts here believe that the economic downturn, when the United States when, in the United States on the issue of arms sales to Iraq, Maliki, a buyer's market share of the benefits. Currently, the U.S. arms sales unwilling to give up the enormous economic benefits, will be more demand in Iraq.

Comments

Meng Xiangqing (National Defense University Institute for Strategic Studies, Professor): Saudi Arabia is the main U.S. ally in the Arab world, is one of the United States in the Middle East is an important strategic strong point. Saudi Arabia, the United States to sell nearly 300 billion worth of arms and equipment, is the entire region, including Iran's hard-line response to the situation and deterrence. This is consistent with recent years, the Obama administration to adjust its military deployment in the Middle East closely.

The Obama administration has made the United States in the Gulf region to establish a new security architecture called the idea of ​​planning by the United States and the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries to work together to build, which includes the United States and six countries to strengthen bilateral military cooperation, multilateral military exercises and in the area of ​​joint maritime and air surveillance activities, troops in Kuwait and in the region to establish anti-missile systems, etc. This is the first time the U.S. missile defense system in the Gulf program. This idea reflects the situation in the U.S. East and North Africa for the strategic adjustment of intent.

The new U.S. regional strategy to make adjustments to compensate for a withdrawal of troops in Iraq in the power vacuum left in order to prevent the terrorist forces in Iraq once again disrupt the smooth situation; two to deter Iran; three to deter Syria; four lived to see the entire Middle East for the North Africa. In East and North Africa in almost a year of turmoil, not toward the idea of ​​the direction of the United States. To prevent the forces of religious extremism and terrorism and expanding the U.S. military needs to re-adjust the strategic plan, to ensure the region's future development envisaged in the United States will not seriously out of the track.

■ According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, October, 18 to 24-year-old Veterans of the unemployment rate was 30.4%. 18 to 24-year-old black veteran's unemployment rate hit a staggering 48%. 18 to 24-year-old veteran currently has 32 million people. According to White House estimates, the next five years there will be one million Veterans into the job force.

Former battlefield heroes living by selling blood

In Afghanistan, Corporal Clayton Roden's task is to search for the helicopter on a suspected improvised explosive device or to verify underground bomb factory, the monthly income of about $ 2,500; and now, who has excellent performance on the battlefield heroes can only squeeze In the parents' home in Columbus, Ohio, in exchange for $ 80 a week by selling blood, and occasionally for the Marine Corps reserve forces to play some odd jobs.

25-year-old Roden love a soldier, polite but some slow. As the war Veterans, Roden than their peers in the encounter more difficult to find a job. U.S. officials said that with the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq, the situation will worsen, because, according to White House estimates, the next five years there will be one million Veterans join the job force.

Young Veterans and National Guard or Reserve military service among young people, according to U.S. Department of Labor statistics, in October this year, the youngest veterans aged 18 to 24 the number of 32 million, the unemployment rate was 30.4%, than other people the same age more than double, while 18 to 24-year-old black veteran of the unemployment rate is a staggering 48%. Veterans 25 to 34 years old although the unemployment rate and people with similar age, but like Roden such reservists employment prospects remain bleak. July 2010, their unemployment rate is 21%.

"It's like attack, bomb disposal skills so that employers do not need."

Why Veterans find a job more difficult? Veterans are a young high school, low educational level, lack the necessary job skills is one of the reasons. Employment and George Mason University economics professor, said Stephen Fuller, and even some professional army are due to software or electronics technician rapid development of the industry, not qualified retired after working in the new Silicon Valley, not to mention those who do not have the professional skills of ordinary soldiers the. Seemingly the military and civilian integration jobs, such as emergency medical workers or truck drivers, does not mean you can direct the transition to civilian jobs - even earlier in the army is open armored vehicles, and retired after driving examination required by state , can be employed to drive a truck.

"I think they do not have the necessary social skills like attack, bomb disposal skills so that employers do not need." "New direction" said Feldstein, deputy director of institutions."New direction" to the San Diego Veterans responsible for providing rehabilitation, vocational training and other services. He said that now the work is suitable for young Veterans security, but the market is nearly saturated and competition is very fierce.

Long from the community, leaving Veterans lack a competitive edge, even if they are disciplined, well-trained. Some employers believe that the army is not 8 years of experience in 8 years. House Foreign War Veterans Affairs Committee and deputy director 赖恩加卢奇 said in September they held a job summit, many companies are complaining about, Veterans difficult to adapt to corporate culture.

"Veterans of the role of conversion has been a problem, should not have more jobs, and they do not know what employers want." Department of Labor Employment and Training Deputy Minister Jane Oates said. Veterans employers as "alien species." Many Veterans also said that the most critical is that they feel a loss of transformation.

29-year-old Veterans Hutchinson said: "From the organized collective life to civilian life is full of variables, for many Veterans who, just as suffering from 'shell shock disease', they feel very helpless."

"Post-traumatic stress disorder" as barriers to employment

In addition to the lack of skills and work experience, Veterans mental health is a significant cause of employment difficulties. Many have experienced the front-line soldiers fire smoke have a "post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)". But in the interview, some of the Veterans that employers overestimated these problems. "They kind of misunderstanding, as if we are suffering the most serious of the 'post-traumatic stress disorder' like. In fact, even if the Marines suffering from PTSD, but also discipline." Marine Corps reservist, 25 years oldThe Nairn said.

But it was also acknowledged, PTSD does affect their work. Hutchinson battle with their own disability payments funded a project called "Ohio War Veterans" transition assistance team, where he met 24-year-old 托姆林布鲁 Alex. Brooks was wounded in Iraq, the Army psychologist diagnosed him suffering from PTSD, but he has no money for treatment.Brooks said he had the Department of Veterans Affairs for assistance, but did not receive a response. Now he can not find full-time job, only to live in their parents cars tents along the banks, the construction site to play once a week to odd jobs. Hutchinson said he would help Brooks get medical benefits.

Although Brooks has a high school diploma, but can find other work is still a sense of loss.He said that if he would prefer to re-join the army. "I used to command people, was directed to be easier than the battles themselves."

Parties are working hard, but the outlook is not optimistic

For the placement of veterans issues, the Obama administration has pledged to give priority to be addressed, since the 2008 fiscal year, the U.S. government has hired 85,000 Veterans. Obama will increase federal agencies hire veterans as top priority in fiscal year 2010, all federal civilian workers employed 25% of veterans. At the state and local levels, many Veterans are arranged into the police and fire departments.

However, despite a higher proportion of government employment Veterans also are of very little, but the government is tightening spending, only in the past two months, federal, state, and local jobs on the reduction of 5.7 million.

To help veterans employment, the U.S. Senate on November 10 voted a tax incentives bill.The bill stipulates that enterprises employing at least 4 weeks unemployed veterans receive $ 2,400 tax incentives; hire unemployed veterans of more than six months, receive $ 5,600 in tax credits; employ unemployed for more than six months and wounded during service disabled veterans, get $ 9,600 tax breaks. Act also provides that unemployment veterans qualify for education and job training services. The U.S. government is also developing a "dual-use military training program," so that military medical personnel and more accessible parts of electrical work license. Response to the call of some employers, such as JP Morgan Chase and Verizon Communications and other large companies have signed the undertaking, employing 100 000 2020 Veterans.

Within the armed forces are also trying to help soldiers out of barracks to better adapt to life. U.S. military base at Fort Bliss officials, since 1991, based on the launch of the "military vocational training and alumni networking program" for each soldier about to enter the community to provide 6 to 12 months of "pre-employment counseling "and" transition counseling. " Soldiers from the U.S. Department of Labor will participate in the organization of workshops, learning such as writing resumes, dress, interviewing, salary negotiation skills.

But even if the parties are working hard, the outlook is still not optimistic, Ted Walter on behalf of Georgia opened a "Veterans Employment" website. He said that after 10 years of war, bosses are worried that employees who have experienced military service will no longer be sent to the front at any time to go. "Over the last 65 to 70% of employers now will not hire National Guard and Reserve personnel, if they suddenly go, the company can not properly operated."

"Military professional training and alumni networking program" manager Stovall admitted: "Our plan is for these veterans to provide the necessary knowledge base and skills training, is not responsible for veterans to find work."

WZ -10 with P & W Canada produced PT6C-76C engine, the engine in accordance with existing standards, a single thrust of 1250kW, which may make mobility WZ -10, weapons load is limited. On fire, the lack of a clear picture, whether its 30 mm gun turret using licensed production of the Russian 2A72-type guns, but also worthy of further observation.









PLA Major General, China Society of Military Science 30, Deputy Secretary-General Luo Yuan said in an interview, made WZ-10 helicopter gunships advanced airborne weaponry, highly offensive, but it also take a certain amount of stealth measures.

Said Luo Yuan, WZ-10 is the first generation of Chinese self-developed armed helicopters, and its avionics systems, integrated combat capabilities, and its onboard weapons and equipment is very advanced. Its three-point landing gear to take anti-collision device from the configuration on the whole is more advanced. Although unlike the United States, the United States in Pakistan have a helicopter with stealth fall, it is on the air from the layout of the measures taken by stealth. And China's WZ-10 is in coatings and composite materials to take on some stealth measures, and the United States there are some differences.

Luo said the plane's pilot, particularly arms control staff to wear a helmet, the helmet can be aimed at targets on the ground, armed with 23 mm below the helicopter machine guns, rocket launchers and 90, you can use the helmet targeting. WZ-10 is mainly anti-tank use, there is a missile, the missile is basically a long bomb, a missile can be fitted with different seeker. Such as laser, semi-guided, you can also use infrared guidance. Ability to strike so it is very strong, with a red arrow at least 8 to 4 km, with a red arrow if 10 or Lightning 2, can hit 10 kilometers.

Japan helps rebuild the introduction of F-35 military offensive

Japan helps rebuild the introduction of F-35 military offensive


Recently, the Japanese government officially confirmed the choice by the United States led all countries in the development of the latest stealth fighter F-35 as a new generation of fighters. Japan plans to buy 40, composed of two flight formations. This indicates that Japan can not be obtained despite the long-awaited final F/A-22A fighter, but through the acquisition of F-35 stealth fighter is still entered into the user club.


Post-war Japan Air Self equipped F-86 fighters the United States.
1954, Japan formally re-air

July 1, 1954, Japan Air Self Defense Force officially formed. To 1957, has set up the first 3, 4 Aviation Regiment and Air Group headquarters command structure, a total of 2.26 million people who, all types of aircraft 786, including 244 combat aircraft. 1958, adapted for the aviation corps aviation group, while the formation of the northern, central air defense, flight education group formed in 1959. 1961 Western air defense. Thus, air from the basic preparation of a complete system.

1958 to 1976, empty since the implementation of the four equipment development programs. In the first plan period (1958-1960), and air from the main combat aircraft equipped with F-86F and F-86D fighter. The second plan (1962-1968 years), the air from the equipment of the United States, "Nike" long-range air defense missile systems and the latest second-generation fighter F-104, and the formation of the seven F-104 squadron.The third plan (1967-1971) period, F-86D fighter all retired. In 1971, empty since the U.S. introduced the two at the most advanced heavy air superiority fighter F-4EJ, for testing and as a domestic machine prototype.

Empty since the early 1990s the Air Force became the first Asian

The Fourth Plan (1972-1976), the Japanese air force establishment, equipment in the expanding and updating. Has set up three equipped F-4EJ heavy air superiority squadron machine, and the newly formed 4, 5, "Nike" air defense missile base. After completion of the fourth plan, the Air Force and based on the ten-year plan 1977-1986 and the 1986-1990 medium-term defense forces development plan to accelerate the modernization of weapons and equipment, and domestic. One of the most important of these measures is the introduction of the third generation in 1978, heavy air superiority fighter F-15J. To the beginning of 1990, empty since the aircraft has been equipped with more than 140 F-15J.

1993, 10 air fighter squadrons from the seven have been equipped with F-15J fighters.And in 1986, equipped with air from the compiled eight E-2C early warning aircraft alert Air Force. Japan Air Self as the frontline in the fight against the former Soviet Union, relying on the U.S. aviation industry and a strong national strength has been in the aviation world's most advanced equipment and the level of basic synchronization. Empty since the early eighties of last century has been completed to build third-generation heavy fighters and AWACS at the core of modern aviation equipment system. Empty since even proudly claim to be "Asia's first Air Force." But with the decline in Japan's economic situation, the strategic value of the decline and re-shuffling of the world's strategic situation, Japan has lost the support of the United States priority equipment, empty into a stalled since the embarrassing situation.



Japan imported U.S. technology to produce the F-15 fighters.
Has been empty since the absolute superiority of the Chinese Air Force

 
Since the completion of the space of three generations of machines and AWACS facelift when the air is still in China for the second generation of implementation capacity of the headache away from the shooting stopped. Until 1996, China's improved air force was using imported Italian Jian "viper" semi-active radar guided air to air missiles over the horizon to achieve the first shot stopped firing. In addition to imported heavy Su-27SK air superiority machine, the Chinese air force is not equipped with a type of self-development third-generation fighter, not a warning command aircraft.

Chinese Air Force in nearly 20 years of rapid development

But as China's overall economic development and national growth, China's aviation industry and the Chinese Air Force to accelerate the development from the late 1990s, early in the twenty-first century, completed the series of Su-27SK fighters of imitation and self-production, as well as avionics and machine-made improvement plan contained weapons; equipped with self-development of the first third-generation fighter aircraft Jian Shi; successfully developed and equipped with a fourth-generation active radar guided air to air missiles, Charlie 12; successfully developed and equipped with air marshals 200 2000 and two types of air marshals active phased array early warning command and control aircraft; developed and equipped to transport eight high-tech high-tech machines, represented by auxiliary class fleet; As a successful maiden flight last year, the "F-20" is sounded to the Chinese aviation industry and the Air Force stealth times the clarion call.

Air from the Chinese Air Force began to overtake the stagnation

China's aviation industry and the rapid growth of the Chinese Air Force and Japan Air Self's stalled in stark contrast. The end of 2004 so far, F-15J/DJ produced a total of 213, but in equipment use, there have been a problem of an aging body. Presumably, the current Japanese equipment F-15J/DJ should be 180 or so. Japanese F-15J carried out for a total of two modern improvements. The first 91 fiscal year, multi-stage improvement plan (MISP), improving the content is switched to a new ejection seat, F100-PW-220 engine, AN/APG-63U radar and data bus. This plan to complete the 1990s, a total of four squadrons of about 100 or so F-15J accepted at this stage of improvement.


Japan's self-produced F-2 fighter as the amount of equipment too, which led to expensive.
The second improvement plan from the 1997 mid-term improvement plan (MLU), but for now the progress is very slow to improve, as can not be fully converted, now empty since the introduction of new aircraft and improved form of a mixture of old aircraft operations. F-15J's major flaw is the main launch active radar-guided medium-range missile capacity is insufficient.

Air from the equipment, F-15J in only about 40 or so aircraft can be upgraded or AIM-120 launch in Japan since research AAM-4-air missiles, and the remaining more than a hundred F-15J aircraft can only be mounted semi-active radar-guided Sparrow missiles for air combat .

Japan-made F-2 aircraft expensive performance instability

Japan's F-16 design improvements based on their own F-2 fighter-bombers of the situation is "worse." J/APG-1 radar detection range is not only effective for one third less than the design target, but also in the target display, there are still serious and the loss of the target virtual shadow phenomenon. F-2 wing strength and crack problems has not been completely resolved.

The face of growing, the number of the current equipment of nearly 600 Chinese air force fleet of three generations of machines and equipment in the next few years may be the fourth generation of heavy stealth fighter F-20, Japan Air Self Defense Force is undoubtedly bear great pressure.

Which calls for Japan to introduce the U.S. F/A-22 has been high, but the policy of the U.S. high-tech defense equipment limitations, and ultimately can only get the Japanese multi-purpose F-35 stealth fighter.



Japan had wanted to purchase F-22 fighters, but because the U.S. does not sell, can then purchase the F-35.
Japan ordered the F-35 should be the Air Force version of the

The Japan Air Self procurement should be the Air Force F-35 type, which is the F-35A.U.S. Air Force F-35A model was developed by conventional takeoff and landing investment F-35, will replace the U.S. fleet of F-16 multi-role fighter and A-10 tactical attack aircraft. Focuses on 13 tons empty and down the aircraft, air superiority combat radius of 1111 km, after a decade of research on December 15, 2006 flight. Intention to equip the U.S. Air Force F-35A was the number of up to 1763, but as the U.S. economy and defense spending has shrunk, F-35A is the intention of gradually shrinking the number of equipment.

Lockheed Martin every year and the U.S. Department of Defense and Congress struggling for funding. The latest U.S. Air Force plans to equip about 1 400 2030 F-35A. F-35A of the trials are completed only 18%. And metal fatigue test results are not optimistic about the strength of the body parts failed to meet the standard life of 8000 hours.

F-35 fighter pilot fatigue has not been completed

Have been implemented to date metal fatigue test, the Air Force completed a 20% type, completed the Marine Corps type 6%. F-35A because the horizontal tail tremor more serious than expected, so the entire flight in the angle of attack does not exceed 20 °, but this problem is to make a large angle of attack flight-test program to drag before the fall of 2012 started, the high angle of attack flight-test program not be completed in 2014 optimistic. A direct result of structural fatigue tail tremor is still no solution. According to the U.S. Air Force's plan, F-35A will achieve initial operational capability in 2016, but this time the node does not seem optimistic now.

Before 2016, Japan Air Self will be purchasing four pre-production F-35A for the preparation of manuals and basic flight test, and the formal shape of the F-35A need to wait until after 2016 years before they can get. F-35 System Development and Demonstration phase of cooperation the country is divided into three. The first level is funded 10% or 20 billion JAST program office Plenipotentiary country, only the United Kingdom participate in this level, you can enjoy the F-35 series aircraft equipped with the highest priority right.


Lockheed Martin will be granted to the Japanese production of the F-35 independent rights and technology.
Japan to obtain the F-35 time more on the

The second level is the investor 5% or 10 billion dollars in the participating countries, with Italy and the Netherlands. The third level is the middle level represents the identity, can only make the details of customization required to fund the 1% or 2-4 million in this country can enjoy the treatment, the level of Turkey, Canada and Australia. Later, the U.S. added a fourth-and fifth-level partners, the fourth grade at least pay $ 75 million to about 12 potential countries may enjoy the treatment. Fifth grade only Israel, the country paid $ 2 million to enjoy the F-35 program to obtain the right information.

Judging from the above classification, the Japanese could only enjoy the fourth-class treatment, and thus must give way to purchase and equip higher than its level at least eight countries. Coupled with Japan only purchase about 40 F-35A, the number of small customers purchasing fear is not entitled to any time, the speed of delivery. Wait until the Japanese get the right assembly of F-35A, is estimated to have been for some time after 2020, Japan's self-produced F-35AJ to wait until later to the assembly line.

U.S. F-35 to give the Japanese wholesale price and production rights
However, be mentioned that in fact the U.S. government refused to sell to the Japanese F-22 stealth fighter, the United States has been selling to Japan, has stealth capabilities with the F-35 fighters and aircraft out of every $ 65 million (about combined 400 million yuan) at discounted prices. And learned that the production of the F-35 Lockheed Martin has agreed to let • final assembly production of the Japanese fighters, Japan pledged to provide major components of the F-35 production rights, Japanese companies will be able to produce their own F-35 engine and assembly.

According to the Japanese Ministry of Defense estimates that in the future years, more than Japan at least 100 new aircraft. From Japan to assemble the aircraft themselves, can not only reduce production costs, and can replace some of Japan's own research and development installation of more advanced equipment. Basically, this will not only improve the F-35 may be part of the performance, more importantly, to keep and extend Japan's aviation industry.




Bureau of dual release 20 Chinese J-shape design is clearly more focused on air superiority operations, ultra mobility and supersonic cruise capability significantly beyond the F-35.
F-35A F-20 Performance Comparison with China

F-35 is designed to be biased in favor of more combat, the supersonic cruise capability does not require, a greater weight also makes its supersonic flight capability and F-16, Su-27 and so a class of fourth-generation fighter not very different. Aerodynamic design of the F-35 and F-22, similar to the control with the "stall" maneuverability. However, F-35 is too bulky, conventional mobility and F-16 only requires a considerable, so comprehensive subsonic performance greater than the gap between the F-22.

F-35 and F-22 is Lockheed Martin's products. Although the F-35 is low with models, but in the invisible form with the F-22 design also used a similar program, so its performance with the F-22 stealth should be consistent.

The Chinese emphasis on air superiority F-20 design, the stealth capabilities and less on the F-35 F-22, but double the F-20 is designed not only has the F-35 supersonic cruise do not have the ability, but also in the ultra- mobility, there are well beyond. Chinese J-20 used in the design of ultra-mobile + side of the canard design, the use of vortex lift for the world's fourth-generation machine the most. However, a longer F-20 fuselage, engine performance is also a gap, so mobility is estimated that only with the F-22 equivalent, but it also significantly better than the F-35.

As for the avionics performance can not be compared because of their appearance on the interpretation, so here is difficult to give. The current design of the aircraft itself, the appearance point of view, F-20 air superiority capability is more than F-35A, but should the consideration of airborne electronic equipment, both air superiority capability is difficult to make hierarchical.

Will also begin on or in four generations of machines and equipment

F-35 began mass production of the official time is 2014, because of the urgent need to dress up the aging U.S. three generations of machines, plus the United Kingdom, Canada and nine countries the share of project cooperation, I believe Japan and South Korea received the first F-35 have to wait until 2018, and each year the number will not be much in 2020, equipped with a squadron of 24 is already optimistic estimates. Chinese F -20 fighter turbofan main problem is the development progress of 15 Chinese equipment will determine the progress of the fifth generation fighter aircraft, but also in optimistic estimates can be put into service between 2020-2025.

Is most likely situation is that China and Japan will be the fourth-generation fighters equipped with almost the same period. Of course, the worst possibility is that, if difficulties develop turbofan 15, does not rule out first use will be made 10 Taihang turbofan engine improved, or the Russian AL-31F enhanced version of the engine thrust. However, this will cause the aircraft to maneuver there was a substantial decline in performance, which obviously we do not want to see.

Three generations of Chinese machine number 2025 from a large super-empty

Japanese F-15J was introduced in 1978, is now greater than the fleet average life expectancy has two decades. Therefore, F-15J of the aging body problem is very serious, horizontal tail, vertical tail parts have appeared off the phenomenon, even as the aging circuit accident occurred off the fuel tank. Around 2025, an estimated F-15J fleet to keep the body close to one hundred life barely acceptable aircraft, F-4 series has been largely retired completed. Air from the three generations of machines will be greatly diminished the number of clusters, may be maintained at about 200 the number of four generations of machines.

The Chinese Air Force F-10A, F-10B and F-11B series aircraft will be an annual rate of at least one group of equipment, to about 2025, even taking into account imports in 1992, Su-27SK retired the old model, the Chinese Air Force three generations of machines will reach four-digit number. Even in recent years China's naval air force is also equipped with the first group and F-11 F-10 group, and is continuing to purchase F-10, F-11B and the Flying Leopard A. If you do not replenish the new fighter, to air in Japan since 2025 three generations of machines is not even afraid of the size of China's naval air force can not match.


Japan is under construction 22DDH carrier (the latter) and active day class aircraft carrier to the (former) simulation comparison chart. Japan after the introduction of F-35 will probably increase the sexual power.
Air from the equipment after the F-35 attack power will increase

Japan equipped F-35A, the main use of its stealth to perform homeland defense and attack operations on the sea. In fact, according to my opinion, the Japanese Air Self equipped F-35A does not have a greater threat. But we must guard against the through the Japan Sea from the deck amphibious ships equipped F-35B. On the one hand to prevent the Japanese through the F-35B equipped with a light aircraft carrier to achieve real policy breakthrough. To know the F-35B is equipped with amphibious ships although the performance is less than or slide jump with catapult the light aircraft carrier deck, but still trend of offshore operations will be greatly affected.

Chinese carrier Air near future there will remain at three generations of machines and equipment stage, if equipped with the Sea of ​​Japan from the fourth-generation F-35B aircraft, whether in combat or on the sea-to-air attack missions, the Chinese carrier-based F -15 machines are faced with an overwhelming disadvantage.

The other hand, as F-35A stealth performance, after all, the traditional early-warning radar network have a great impact, although to the Chinese Air Force AWACS already has some of the stealth target detection capability, while its own F-20 stealth fighter aircraft also have an effective attack, but it does need to respond to F-35A research more adaptive tactics, formation and operational strategy formation.



On the whole, the Japanese F-35 production through the introduction of its own is not only to keep for the continuation of the military and aviation industry, but also to offset the formation of the Chinese J-20 next-generation difference effect. But for Japan, they only create more F-35 fighters to balance China's future will be the formation of three generations of four generations of machines and machine number of advantages. This year the Chinese J-20 test up to 60 times, all aspects of the work was in full swing, this pressure can be imagined for Japan.

However, attention is needed, along with ground and sea attack by the main task of the F-35 fighters to enter the Japanese Air Self service also means that the future will be more inclined to the Japanese air attack since. This offensive will in fact force a further breakthrough in Japan's pacifist constitution limits, it is worthy of attention.

Chinese J-11B: PL-10 missiles to enhance the combat capabilities

Core Tip: The United States' Global Strategic Network "recently published article said that China is the U.S. Air Force F-11B fighter," the elusive adversary. " Not long ago, a photo display, mounted under the wing of a new air to air missiles. Analysis of the missile to counter U.S. military with the strength of similar equipment, to ensure that the F-11B easily shot down in air combat dare approach any opponent.

U.S. media said the emergence of Perak -10 "concerns" that the missile will greatly enhance China's Air Force air combat capability, the Air Force and Navy air pose a serious challenge.

United States, "Global Strategic Network" recently published article said that China is the U.S. Air Force F-11B fighter, "the elusive adversary." Not long ago, a photo display, mounted under the wing of a new air to air missiles. Analysis of the missile to counter U.S. military with the strength of similar equipment, to ensure that the F-11B easily shot down in air combat dare approach any opponent.

"Global strategic networks," said the People's Liberation Army has been equipped with a variety of performance art BVR air to air missiles, but has not underestimate the dogfight."The Chinese Air Force view, although the 'do not fight face to face' increase in the proportion of over-the-horizon air combat, air combat inside the line of sight will not disappear. Into the air combat range, if not excellent performance of the short-range missiles, fighters will fall into a passive one's own beaten situation. Not only that, the Chinese Air Force will train combat air combat training as pilots and flight skills bravery important way. "In view of this, the Chinese military-industrial sector has been active in developing the level of short-range to reach the world's top air missiles .

According to the article described, emerging on the new F-11B missile code-named "Charlie 10", weight 89 kg, length 3 m, diameter 0.16 m, the use of advanced infrared imaging guidance, can distinguish between true and false target enemy aircraft bait, but also by the pilot wearing the Helmet of launch control, to achieve "Behold what to play."Not only that, to effectively combat the high mobility target, the missile uses thrust vectoring technology, with the use of high overload. "Charlie-10 performance with America's most advanced" Sidewinder "AIM-9X missile comparable, is a very deadly weapon. To countries in terms of active fighters, almost no one in the air when it's locked out." U.S. media said the emergence of Perak -10 "concerns" that the missile will greatly enhance China's Air Force air combat capability, the Air Force and Navy air pose a serious challenge.

New weapon for the Chinese Air Force to find "foreign relatives" seems foreign military media habit. "Global strategic network" claimed that Thunderbolt -10 missile technology may come from South Africa on the grounds that its appearance with South Africa's A-DARTER Daniel missiles are very similar. A-DARTER much more expensive, not South African Air Force orders, Daniel had the opportunity with China participating actively to the Chinese market, but to little avail. Now, the Chinese developed a close with the A-DARTER missile similar products, "Global strategic networks" began to speculate that China's thunderbolt -10 or "grab the upper hand in South Africa", because it may lead the formation of combat, not to mention, China The military-industrial level is unmatched in South Africa.

Report further added that the Perak -10 missiles mounted F-11B is a licensed production in China of Russian-made Su-27SK fighters (later known as the F-made-11A), based on the developed. From the entire development process, China's F-11B in body painstaking efforts, not only to put in some effort to achieve localization of power systems, also rely on strong domestic aviation electronics and airborne weapons, and new materials industries to impose a number of improvements, and strive to the machine to get rid of "Su-27 imitation" impression.

At least two squadrons of F-11B fighter has entered the military service. Article, this shows that the Chinese Air Force in the future for a long period of time will be used as the backbone model, and lighter form of the J-10 "level with" fourth-generation F -20 fighter in the formal pre-deployment, relying on advanced airborne weapons, then conduct the important task of the PLA air superiority.

29, the White House announced that the U.S. and Saudi Arabia has signed a $ 29.4 billion in sales contracts, plans to sell Saudi Arabia, including the Royal Air Force advanced fighter aircraft, including F-15SA group of military equipment.

White House deputy press secretary 乔希欧内斯特 chief said in a statement the same day, the agreement to provide 84 to Saudi Arabia, including new F-15SA fighter, and Saudi Arabia's 70 existing aircraft upgrade, and will also provide ammunition, spare parts, the training, maintenance and logistics services.

F-15SA fighter produced by Boeing is a United States advanced aircraft, Ernest said in a statement it was "the world's most advanced aircraft and one of the most combat power."

Ernest also said that the sales agreement will be the U.S. economy and President Obama to create jobs through increased exports, plans to have a positive impact, according to industry experts predict that the agreement will support 50,000 U.S. jobs .

Back in October last year, the Obama administration formally notified Congress in the next 15 years to 20 years to sell Saudi Arabia $ 60 billion worth of military equipment, including arms sales to the above content. If the Saudi arms purchase this program all the items, the amount that would be the biggest ever U.S. arms sales.

F-15SA fighter belonging to three generations of improved fighters, military experts believe that the Saudi Air Force Once you have this type of aircraft, bound to change the balance of air power in the Middle East, the first is the Israeli Air Force and the Iranian Air Force. Prior to that, "The Wall Street Journal" has been revealed that the U.S. arms sales to Israel very unhappy, worried that the Saudi threat to its military superiority.

But the U.S. media analysts believe that the U.S. aims to balance the Middle East, especially the Gulf countries will sell advanced weapons to Iran as a way to suppress. In addition to Saudi Arabia, the United States to the UAE and other Gulf countries selling arms.

This arms sales to Saudi Arabia should also be considered as one of Iran's threat to.Recently, Iran warned that if Western sanctions against Iraq was launched, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military said 28 is clear, will not tolerate Iran's offshore oil transport blockade called the "lifeline" of the Strait of Hormuz.

Data for: Indian-made stealth frigates.

Eurasian Review December 25, article network around the Indian Navy in recent years, modern results and future plans to start a presentation, and that through the introduction of aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, network warfare and electronic warfare capabilities, the latest radar, weapons and equipment, fast warships, frigates, supervision and surveillance aircraft, satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles and other weapons systems and platforms, as well as regular exercises at sea, the Indian Navy to maritime interests in the future pose a serious threat to Pakistan. In this case, Pakistan must improve their defense industrial capacity to meet the diverse needs of the Pakistani Navy, and on a regular basis with friendly countries held joint naval exercise, to improve combat capability at sea, to meet future national security threats and challenges.

India's rapid development is the development of naval forces to create "blue water navy," to establish regional and global benefits. India has 12 major ports, 21 ports and 164 small medium-sized port, import and export trade, 90% via the sea route transport. Moreover, the main activities in the Indian Navy, the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea and other waters, and these waters is essential for international maritime trade, nearly 75% of world trade and maritime oil transport through the waters of the sea lanes. Most importantly, India is located in the East-West trade routes in a strategic position, which makes it necessary to control this trade and energy lifeline.

Indian Navy maritime strategy in 2007 that the Indian Navy needs to build "power projection" for New Delhi's foreign policy and national goals to provide support. Currently, the Indian navy in the world ranking fifth. It has nearly 171 ships, 250 aircraft and 16 submarines. India has allocated tens of billions of dollars in modernizing its naval forces 15 years. It is estimated that from 2008 to 2013, India will be invested in the modernization of the Navy about $ 40 billion. India is to build unrivaled naval power and effort. According to the Indian Navy Supreme Commander Verma said it plans to be fitted out in the 15 years of naval vessels were built in India. This means that India's defense industry technology will be enhanced in the future India will be able to build more advanced warships.

According to Indian Defense Minister AK · Anthony said India's construction of the shipyard are at different stages of construction of ships and submarines in a total of about 34. Moreover, the Indian Navy has signed a large number of aircraft, destroyers, tankers, trainers, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and radar procurement contracts. In the next 15 years, through these purchases, the Indian Navy will squeeze into the world of the Navy three columns.

According to the Deloitte-CII "global defense export market prospects for the Indian defense industry," reported that in the coming decades, India's defense spending will surpass the United States and other major Western countries. The report stressed that, by 2015, India's defense spending by the current $ 32.03 billion to about $ 42 billion of capital support for weapons platforms from the current $ 13.04 billion increase to 192 billion U.S. dollars. This level of expenditure and procurement plans indicate that New Delhi has been targeting areas outside of its desire to become a global power. The report also pointed out that from 2007 to 2012, the Indian Army in the field of arms procurement spend about $ 100 billion, this implies that in India from 2012 to 2017 investment in this area may be about $ 12 billion, of which India Navy for the procurement of new ships and weapons systems of the investment gold is about $ 39.35 billion.

In addition, there were reports that India has started its eastern port city of Visakhapatnam a secret factory to build a second nuclear submarines. According to reports, India's second nuclear submarines shell construction work has begun, the nuclear power plant will be built in Russia's help. India's second nuclear submarines of the sea trial work is likely to be 2015. Indian Navy in the next decade, invested nearly $ 19 billion, made the construction of five nuclear-powered submarines.

India's sea-based second-strike capability is currently no once has this capability, in support of nuclear submarines and nuclear ballistic missiles, its dream of the sea on the Trinity to have nuclear capability. India also plans to spend about $ 11 billion, the new six next-generation high-tech submarine. In addition, the French shipyard DCNS for the Indian Navy is now 6 "Scorpene" submarine. These submarines will have better stealth capabilities, a broader detection range, and its battle management systems will become more advanced.

Indian Navy's surface combat capability mainly depends on its 290 km of Shenyang, "Brahmos" supersonic cruise missile. "Brahmos" cruise missile can reach Mach 2.5 speed, is the U.S. "Tomahawk" cruise missiles three times. The Indian Navy missile will increase the ability of Pakistan's fight. Indian Navy has also improved its monitoring and surveillance capabilities, the introduction of latest high-tech unmanned aerial vehicles.

Currently, the Indian Navy out with "Heron" (Heron) medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles and the smaller "Search by MkII" UAV. "Heron" UAV at 35,000 feet altitude can be a continuous operation 52 hours. The system is not subject to weather conditions, and with the automatic launch and recovery capabilities. "Heron" UAV can carry up to 250 kg total infrared, information systems, a variety of radar systems and other sensor systems. Indian Navy fitted out in the "Search by MkII" multi-mission tactical UAV is UAVs, used to perform monitoring, surveillance, target positioning, artillery calibration and damage assessment missions. Which UAV endurance time of 20 hours, range of 300 km, the flight height limit of 23,000 feet, the payload of 120 kg. India also plans to introduce by the U.S. Navy Northrop Grumman-developed MQ-4C area maritime surveillance-altitude long-endurance UAV.

Indian Navy hopes to acquire advanced radar systems in support of aircraft carrier operations. Indian Navy plans to introduce "Saab 2000" multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft. The patrol aircraft equipped with electronically scanned array radar and a RBS 15 anti-ship missiles. It has the ability to identify friend or foe, can effectively locate and identify the tasks at sea activities. "Saab 2000" multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft maximum range of 2,000 nautical miles, endurance of 9.5 hours, cruising speed of 350, 10 minutes to climb to 20,000 feet altitude, in three hours covering 1000 sea miles waters.The introduction of this aircraft will greatly enhance Indian Navy's airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, thereby strengthening its oversight capacity of the sea.

Indian Navy also plans to introduce three "Krivak III" class (Krivak III) frigates. For the three frigates procurement contracts signed in 2006, the first frigate scheduled for delivery during the year 2011. New frigates will be equipped with 8 "Brahmos" supersonic cruise missile. The speed of more than 35, equipped with a water jet propulsion, ship excellent maneuverability. "Krivak III" class frigates can effectively combat the high-speed moving targets. Its speed, mobility and rapid response capability, to enable the search and rescue operations to flex its muscles. It can be launched quickly to improve the Indian Navy maritime operations.

Indian Navy also plans to introduce developed by the U.S. Boeing P-8I long-range reconnaissance and anti-submarine aircraft. Initially the Indian Navy plans to purchase eight of this aircraft, but only ordered the final four. Earlier this month, Boeing has completed the first flight of P-81 long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft assembly work. Moreover, the Indian Navy recently purchased from Russia 31 aerial early warning (AEW) helicopters. For the Indian Navy surface ships and underwater tasks, the airborne early warning capability is essential. This ability to increase the Indian Navy on the face of Pakistani conflict mobility. In addition, the Indian Navy and the Air Force has signed a $ 1 billion of multi-mission MH-60R helicopter procurement contracts. In the next few years, the Indian Navy will be fitted out by the above-mentioned aircraft, helicopters and supervision to improve their maritime air capability. Once these capabilities in place, the Indian Navy will be able to maritime security interests of Pakistan and reliable threat.

Indian Navy commandos are an important part of the Indian Navy. The force has nearly 2,000 troops, is responsible for maritime counter-terrorism and special operations missions. India in the next few years, doubling its commando forces. In the Indian Navy commando training, weapons and equipment, Israel played a major role. Indian Navy commandos will be equipped with Israeli-developed Tavor Galil assault rifle and sniper rifle, to strengthen its operational capabilities.

All in all, the Indian Navy is rapidly developing its overall strength. Through the introduction of aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, network warfare and electronic warfare capabilities, the latest radar, weapons and equipment, fast warships, frigates, supervision and surveillance aircraft, satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles and other weapons systems and platforms, as well as regular exercises at sea, India Pakistan Navy in the future pose a serious threat to maritime interests.

In this case, Pakistan, India's navy is necessary to monitor the process of modernization, the defense industry to improve their own capacity to meet the diverse needs of the Pakistani Navy - Pakistan's economic realities make it unable to purchase new weapons systems from developed countries and the platform. Pakistan must strengthen with China, Germany, France and other countries the collaboration between the naval forces to improve their own and improve their weaknesses. Pakistan Navy should also improve its maritime surveillance and monitoring capacity, and on a regular basis with friendly countries held joint naval exercise, to improve combat capability at sea, to meet future national security threats and challenges.

According to the December 29 issue of "Global Times" reported, "If Iran's oil exports banned, then we will not let a drop of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz." Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi which issued from Tehran sentence of warning, Sunrise now 27 major Western media. At this time, U.S. President Barack Obama is preparing to sign a new sanctions bill could seriously reduce Iran's oil revenues. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, commented, Iran's warning is clear: if you want to cut my lifeline, I will try to cut off our lifeline.

So, Iran's ability to blockade the Strait of Hormuz? French "Le Monde" reported that the U.S. Fifth Fleet stationed in Bahrain, in this area to maintain a strong military presence.However, the Iranian navy commander of Iran's 28 game argumentation "Press TV", said Iranian forces blockade the Strait of Hormuz than a cup of water is easy, but without closing it, because Iran controls the Oman Sea passage.

Research Group Oxford, UK • Professor Paul Rogers, 28, of the "Global Times" reporter said that if Iran really do so will cause a chain reaction: the energy crisis caused by soaring international oil prices, triggering a global economic crisis, the world economy into recession this again If all the sequential development of US-Iraq war in this game lead to disastrous consequences. And the United States, Obama's aides admit, the economic downturn and the occasion for re-election, Obama surging oil prices do not meet the Government's interests, for these weaknesses, the Iranians in the eyes.

In the U.S. presidential election, Republicans and Democrats suddenly throws in the final sprint of the political means and tricks, known as the "October surprise." United States, "International Herald Tribune" recently said that Iran may be next year's presidential election "October surprise." The report said that Iran's nuclear targets "preemptive strike" against increasing pressure, again, a new conservative political commentator in Washington and the main topic of agency.

West Africa researcher at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Yin Gang 28 "Global Times" reporter, said, compared with Iran, Saddam, Gaddafi is Lawrence, and Iran's regime as a powerful confrontation with the United States. In the non-world countries, confront the United States called Iran the most powerful country. This is not to say that the urgency of the war, but to confront substantive. Local geo-political terms, Iran's real position in the center of the world.

Yin Gang also said that if Iran refuses to compromise, inevitable war between Iraq, Iran is likely to pick up after the Cold War the United States the most powerful country. This will no doubt be a drama, Iran lost fortunes off this drama is the most likely outcome. But the war may not come so anxious, take some time of deliberation.

Renmin University of China International Relations Jin 28 "Global Times" reporter that the United States against Iran is now more and more impatient, but when away from the more recent decision of the more hesitant. Iran's physique and the strength of the United States to resolve difficult.

In view of the situation between Iran and the West, Iran has threatened to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off oil routes. For a time, tensions between the U.S. and Iraq rose to new heights. Development of people think the current situation in the UK columnist Hugh Masi • Max Mirnyi, then do not leave: whether sanctions or war, the two rival camps entered a dangerous doctrine edge games.

California in the United States "DV" website commented that the war is not inevitable.Before the first shot fired, often rumors and fan the flames. Major media, the elite foreign policy journals Foundation and various think tanks, energy and arms group, the left-right parties, etc. will be to "analyze" in the name of the output of war propaganda. 28 Australian Broadcasting Corporation, said Iran's foreign policy has traditionally been cautious, the Iranian revolution that never launch a traditional war. But German military portal "war advice," said the escalating psychological warfare in Iraq who do not throw in the towel.

Renmin University of China International Relations, said Jin, a US-Iraq conflict is a difficult problem, this fight is very dangerous game, both sides are gearing up to go back to trying to scare each other, no one is willing to back. Thus increasing the risk of conflict increases. He said there may occur the first half of next year event. The United States either do not get involved, or will Iran than Iraq also launched the first wave of fierce combat.

Japan to relax arms exports, forcing China to increase military spending


Core Tip: According to the Russian "Pravda" reported on December 27, December 27, the Japanese government decided to relax the three principles of arms exports, in the complete abolition of restrictions on exports of weapons has taken an important step.China does not hide his worry about the restoration of Japanese militarism and adventurism that additional defense spending will respond to the growing military danger.

According to the Russian "Pravda" reported on December 27, December 27, the Japanese government decided to relax the three principles of arms exports, in the complete abolition of restrictions on exports of weapons has taken an important step.Russian experts believe that such a re-militarization of Japan official's decision can not make the international community, especially the Chinese concern.

Russia reported, 27, Japan's Kyodo News first reported, the Japanese government held the same day security conference, decided to substantially relax the ban on arms exports.Agreed with the Japanese and the United States, Australia and NATO countries jointly developed, production of weapons, allowed to peace, humanity for the purpose of export of weapons and equipment. Japan claimed that the move to the national development of national military-industrial requirements. It should be noted that this decision is obviously not really "information bomb", because the Japanese side has repeatedly claimed in recent years may be relaxed arms exports. 1967, Japan enacted the three principles of arms exports, prohibit the socialist bloc countries, the United Nations arms embargo under the resolution of national and international parties to the conflict there is a risk of conflict or national export weapons. In 1976, the Japanese government to make additions to the above principles, in fact, a total ban on arms exports. This is the Japanese weapons and equipment research and production areas hard hit, forced to give up in many countries, military-technical cooperation projects.

Russia reported 27, the Japanese government made the decision to relax the arms exports is clearly not the United States without prior notice, because it is very beneficial for the United States. For example, to get rid of the previous restrictions on arms exports, after Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will be able to participate in the production F-35 fighter program, with the U.S. Lockheed - Martin Corporation, with production-related components. Japanese officials recently announced, will Air Self Defense Force F-35 fighter procurement, the initial order amount of 70 billion dollars. Many experts believe that Japan's participation in the F-35 aircraft will be significantly reduced cost. Military analysts have pointed out, that's not all. After the abolition of restrictions on arms exports, Japan's latest technological achievements will be used for the further development of the U.S. anti-missile system and improve the future will be used to build anti-missile system in Europe.

Russia reported that the Japanese government to relax the arms export is actually a "re-militarization" of the decision, it is impossible not to be the international community, particularly countries in the region of vigilance and anxiety, the first in China. China has more than one action to the Japanese side expressed concern, saying the move is clearly deviate from the post-war peace system. China does not hide his worry about the restoration of Japanese militarism and adventurism that additional defense spending will respond to the growing military danger. In recent years, Japan's actions have made many Chinese unrest, such as the Japanese troops overseas to participate in peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, such as significantly enhanced self-defense forces.

Russian Academy of Sciences Far East Research Center, Japan Sasha Leah Kennedy Branch that the Japanese Government's decision to relax the arms exports will inevitably make China uneasy. He said: "Some experts try to move together with the interests of the U.S. anti-missile, saying the decision is basically a Washington-inspired, first, these words are not in the Democratic Party of Japan, but said the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, when the Japanese frenzy molecules have to cancel the previous ban; second, should not overestimate the impact of the United States, is now nothing like 40-50 years ago as; third, if not lift the arms export restrictions, the United States and Japan will carry out military-technical cooperation . even if it is the 'Aegis' sea-based missile defense system as an example, not without the participation of Japan, The Japanese and the Americans had before the exchange of dual-use technology, I think it is important that other aspects of economic problems which can be used explain, first, the world arms market is a real gold mine, the Japanese themselves closed their doors in the current crisis conditions, they are prepared to reconsider the matter; Second, Japan is by the Chinese to catch up in was replaced the status of the world's second economy under the conditions for Japan, the use of arms exports slow down the pace of China is very important to catch up; In addition, the last half century, the Japanese brand has become the world's most respected brands. and in the world doubling of the arms market competition conditions, the quality is not inferior to many competitors, the emergence of new samples of weapons in Japan, can significantly stimulate the Japanese economy, to consolidate its position is well known that the production and sale of military equipment to a large extent promote the overall economic development, in line with Japan as a world power, political and military strength adequate to deal with the general requirements of the current challenges. "

Russian experts point out that the last 20 years, Japanese society has undergone an obvious change in mood, gradual rise of right-wing extremism. Now the Japanese government decided to relax arms export, clearly worrying the revival of Japanese militarism. Can be predicted that Japan will eventually step by step abolish Article 9, abandoned pacifism. Will ultimately limit Japanese participation in international affairs to cancel all the terms. But the danger of revival of Japanese militarism should not be overestimated, because a similar action should start to think in terms of Japan's internal affairs.

Chinese exports to Tanzania Super 59 tank-type configuration does not lose 96 


Core Tip: In the African countries of Tanzania recently held the parade, one of the latest variant of the 59-style feel fresh and new. The tank shape is reminiscent of the Chinese army equipped with the latest version of the 96 tanks. China could not rule out the use of this latest revision of the 59 tanks once again try to enter the Peruvian market possibilities.

Data Figure: China's 96 main battle tanks. 


Data for: Super 59 debut in Tanzania tanks. 

According to Russian military messenger network on December 27 reported that China is becoming a tank Russia and Ukraine in the international market, a strong opponent. And helping China to expand its market share in this product is Type 59 main battle tanks of various improvement models. Need to be reminded that, in fact, the Chinese Type 59 tanks with the help of experts in the former Soviet Union launched the T-54A imitation. 

Chinese engineers and designers have been launched at different times in different versions of the 59 tanks. In a very long period of time, these tanks constitute the main PLA armored assault force. 

China has launched a 120-mm smoothbore gun equipped with 59 tanks. This version of the 59 Western-style use of technical experience, but the 120-mm main gun is clearly not suitable for such a relatively low body mass tanks. For example, this version of the 59 tanks of the payload from the 34 down to 28. Therefore, with 120 mm main gun of the tank 59 the number of vehicles produced only prototypes, follow-up testing did not start. 

59 Another type of modification is the 59D. 59D and 59 in the basic shape is the biggest difference on the install reactive armor on the turret. Meanwhile, the version of the tank is also equipped with modern fire control system and digital ballistic computer. It is said, 59D capable of launching anti-tank missiles and artillery. 

59D of the tests carried out very successful. With its use of the improvement program, the Chinese Army tanks of 59 equipment performance has been significantly improved. 

In addition, the Chinese experts also actively involved in Pakistan's 59 tanks equipped with modern upgrades. Pakistani military equipment, improved 59 tanks known as "A Erzha Lal." 

"A Erzha Lal" have improved transmission, new engine, stronger armor protection force, a modern fire control system, automatic loading machine and a 125-mm smoothbore gun.This tank has been involved in the fight against religious extremists in combat operations.Actual results show that, although "A Erzha Lal," the protective performance has been significantly improved, but there are still several tanks destroyed by armed elements. 

Had some military experts and market analysts believe that weapons of T-54/55/59/62 series tanks is no future to improve, because their customers are mainly those poor countries with weak capacity to pay, while those country, buying second-hand T-72's effect may be better. However, the recent series of incidents showed that they were under some early conclusions. 

In African countries, Tanzania, recently held the parade, one of the latest variant of the 59-style feel fresh and new. The tank shape is reminiscent of the Chinese army equipped with the latest version of the 96 tanks. Tanzania 59 tanks equipped with this redesigned reactive armor modules, turret and smoke launchers, the main weapon of a 125 mm smoothbore gun. It may use the same style with the 96 fire control system. However, because of cost considerations, this latest model of 59 tanks equipped with thermal imaging night vision may not be aiming devices. Early Type 59 is equipped with 520-horsepower engine was replaced by the new engine 730 hp. 

Improved appearance of Tanzania 59 tanks parade should complete the upgrade in China, and later was shipped back to the African continent. Analysts pointed out that Tan military demonstrate the new tank is in response to neighboring Uganda to buy T-90SU behavior. Of course, even if this is the upgrade of 59 modernized tanks can not be against the new Russian-made T-90SU. 

No doubt, the latest variant of the Type 59 will include the emergence of Russia and Ukraine's attempt to compete within the old T-54/55/59/62 tank upgrade market countries nervous. Although Russia is willing to participate in domestic enterprises to improve these old tanks, but unfortunately, to talk about them in this market may be too early achievements. 

China could not rule out the use of this latest revision of the 59 tanks once again try to enter the Peruvian market possibilities. Ukraine had previously upgraded Peru to sell the T-55, but the secret government eventually gave up because of financial stress procurement plan. In comparison, China's proposal for Latin American countries may have a very big payoff - Tanzania now has the ability to even purchase the latest model of 59 tanks, then Peru is concerned, naturally, should mention .

[Hong Kong "South China Morning Post" reported on December 28] Title: China's "Eye of Heaven" open to the public

China yesterday to open its domestic civilian areas of satellite navigation systems to the U.S. global dominance in the field challenged.

The central government said that although the Beidou system has not yet completed, but it has proven its in enhancing China's military, technological and economic strength of the value.

China's satellite navigation system management office RAN Cheng in Beijing yesterday announced its Beidou system signal in space interface control document. Access to the file are limited to long-term PLA and some have a government-backed companies, but now people are even able to use the service of the Beidou.

Ran bearing its said that an independent satellite navigation system for China's national security is very important. Without such a system, this country can not call themselves big and strong. He said, opening the field to the civil system will also help the economy.

If a navigation device can use multiple navigation system signals, it can start faster and run more reliable, more accurate, because it works with more sky satellite communications. It is such as forests, mountains and high-rise buildings of the city such as Hong Kong and other non-open environment is particularly useful.

Government recognizes the Beidou system is currently used in three of the most inaccurate satellite navigation system - the first civilian accuracy of 25 meters, after next year will launch more satellites up to 10 meters; but it also provides a unique emergency services - - SMS Service. Ran Cheng the said: "Compass users not only know their own position, but also send text to other people, which is particularly useful in an emergency."
