EWI2 partners with Norinco on 8M armoured vehicle
Written by defenceWeb
Tuesday, 17 July 2012 13:24
South African company EWI2 has partnered with the China North Industries Group Corporation (Norinco) to produce the 8M wheeled mine resistant, ambush protected vehicle.

The 8M was unveiled at the China International Exhibition on Police Technologies and Equipment Expo (CIEPE) in Beijing at the beginning of last month.

The vehicle is powered by a 5.9 litre Cummins QSB diesel, manufactured in China by the Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co joint venture. The engine produces 281 hp, giving the 8 000 kg vehicle a top speed of 120 km/h.The 8M has seating for eight people or a payload of 2 500 kg. It can withstand a 7 kg mine blast under the hull and a 10 kg mine blast on any wheel.

EWI2 said that the 8M is the first success in a series of collaborative projects to be completed over the coming years by EWI2 and Norinco after the two companies established a cooperation agreement in 2010. “EWI2 is proud to be associated with Norinco and was one of the first South African companies to establish themselves in China in support of South Africa’s membership of the BRICS [Brazil, Russia, India and China] nations,” EWI2 said in a statement.

EWI2 said it had designed the 8M and adapted it to utilise local Chinese components, which “has resulted in a world class product from state of the art industrial facilities and with world wide product support capability.” The 8M will be marketed in China as well as to export markets.

EWI2 was established in 2008 as a company that specializes in implementing industrial ventures in the emerging world. The company says it primarily uses its own intellectual property with joint venture partners “to the benefit of both parties and countries involved”.

South African companies are becoming increasingly involved in the Chinese defence market. In July 2010 Emerging World Technologies (EWT) sold 31 multipurpose security vehicles to China’s Jixi municipal government for R72 million. EWT partnered with the state-owned China Special Automotive Group (CSAG) and was scheduled to supply 150 modular all-terrain system (MATS) vehicles to the Chinese company. The deal also included skills transfer.

In November 2010 Mobile Land Systems announced it had a R40 million contract to manufacture eleven mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles in conjunction with China’s Changan Industries. The deal included technology transfer. Changan was scheduled to take over manufacture and was licensed to build 289 more vehicles, with intellectual property being handed over to Changan for a fee.

Dewald Hattingh, the CE of Mobile Land Systems at the time, said that China may need as many as 10 000 MRAP vehicles to cover their internal needs and equip peacekeeping missions. The PLA is the largest military in the world mustering some three million soldiers, sailors and airmen, of whom some 2.5 million are in full-time service. It is said to operate over 8500 main battle tanks but just over 1000 infantry combat vehicles and 3500 armoured personnel carrier of various designs – and none are mine protected.

Chinese Naval Boats Enter Black Sea For First Time

Officials at the Russian and Ukrainian defense ministries say Chinese naval vessels have entered the Black Sea for the first time ever.

The "Qingdao" destroyer, armed with guided missiles, and the "Yantai" patrol boat, captained by the deputy commander of China's northern fleet, entered the sea on July 31 at Ukraine's invitation.

The two Chinese ships have previously taken part in international operations against pirates in the Gulf of Aden.

Officials said the "Yantai" was expected to sail to the Romanian port of Constanta before leaving the Black Sea on August 9, while the "Qingdao" was expected to stay in Ukraine's Crimean port of Sevastopol until August 4.

In accordance with the Montreux Convention, the vessels of non-Black Sea countries can remain in Black Sea for up to 21 days.

Un second avion furtif chinois?
8 août 2012 – 11:40
Plus d’un an après la révélation de l’existence de l’avion furtif chinois J-20 « Black Eagle » et le premier vol de ce dernier, voilà que des images d’un autre appareil supposé appartenir à la même catégorie circulent sur Internet depuis quelques semaines, ce qui alimente les rumeurs et autres spéculations.

Ces photographies et ces vidéos montrent la cellule d’un avion inconnu placée sur une remorque tractée par un camion. Ce mode de transport peut sembler curieux si l’on cherche la confidentialité. A moins que cela soit fait volontairement.

Cela étant, l’appareil étant sous une bâche, il est difficile de dire s’il s’agit d’une maquette ou bien d’un avion réel. Autre doute : le convoi vu sur les images semble être bien peu protégé, ce qui est étonnant au regard de ce qu’il es censé transporter.

Quoi qu’il en soit, cette cellule présumée de cet appareil bimoteur, surnommé « J-18″ ou encore « J-21 Snowy Owl », a fait le trajet entre les usines du constructeur Shenyang Aircarft Corp (SAC) et le centre d’essais en vol de Xi’an Yanliang, situé dans la province de Shaanxi (centre du pays).

Avec toutes les réserves que l’on peut émettre, plusieurs hypothèses peuvent être émises au sujet de ce J-21. Parmi celles qui circulent, il pourrait s’agir d’un projet concurrent du J-20, développé par Chengdu Aircraft Co (CAC).

Mais ce dernier étant un appareil qui permettrait à l’armée populaire chinoise de frapper les installations militaires américaines (comme à Guam) qui sont hors de portée de ses missiles de croisière (Dong Feng 11), les dimensions du J-21 laissent plutôt à penser qu’il s’agirait d’un avion de supériorité aérienne, censé rivaliser avec le F-22 et le F-35.

Autre possibilité : comme SAC est chargé de développer le J-15 Flying Shark, qui, conçu à partir du SU-33 russe, doit équiper le Shi Lang, le porte-avions chinois, certains pensent que le J-21 serait en fait un appareil embarqué.

Enfin, dernière hypothèse émise par des blogs militaires chinois et qui expliquerait l’intérêt qu’a suscité le F-35 de Lockheed-Martin lors d’une récente affaire de cyberspionnage, discipline dont les hackers chinois sont passés maîtres : ce J-21 serait destiné à l’exportation sous le nom de F-60 afin d’offrir une alternative moins chère à l’avion américain. Cela semble toutefois assez peu crédible.

Cela étant, l’on en saura plus au sujet du J-21 après son premier vol, lequel serait programmé en septembre prochain.

Aircraft carrier will have a provincial name



China's first aircraft carrier will be commissioned by the end of the year and is very likely to be named after one of China's provinces, a military expert said yesterday.

All the necessary facilities have been installed on the carrier through the nine sea trials since last August, Li Jie, a researcher of the China Navy Military Academy, said in an interview carried on the People's Daily website.

China has three major naval forces - the East China Sea, North China Sea and South China Sea fleets. Many speculated the aircraft carrier will join the South China Sea fleet to stabilize the situation in tension there, but Li said the vessel could be commissioned in different fleets.

However, the aircraft carrier will be mainly used for training and experiments, he said.

The carrier completed its ninth sea trial last month, the longest yet, and returned to the Port of Dalian in northeastern Liaoning Province.

The sea trials have been running smoothly so far and attained anticipated objectives, Lin Bai, a colonel of the General Armament Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, has said.

Previously, some observers speculated that the aircraft carrier might be named after Mao Zedong, founder of the New China, or the capital Beijing, but Li said that was unlikely.

He also said China would have more than three aircraft carriers in the future.

Chinese Warships Dock in Israel
Aug. 13, 2012 - 03:27PM | By Barbara Opall-Rome
http://www.defensenews.com/article/20120813/DEFREG03/308130006/Chinese-Warships-Dock-Israel?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

Tel Aviv — Three Chinese warships from the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) docked in Haifa Aug. 13 for a five-day visit here as guests of the Israel Navy.

Led by Rear Adm. Yang Junfei, deputy commander of the PLAN’s North China Sea Fleet, the Chinese contingent will tour multiple sites throughout the country in honor of the 20th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Jerusalem and Beijing.

Last month, Yang met with EU Naval Force (NAVFOR) Commander, Rear Adm. Jean-Baptiste Dupuis, aboard the French command and replenishment ship Marne, which was plying the waters of the Gulf of Aden. At the time of the July 17 visit, an EU NAVFOR spokesman noted the need for enhanced cooperation with the PLAN’s anti-piracy task force operating in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia.

“The significant number of actors who are committed in counter-piracy makes regular contact essential [for] de-confliction ... and coordinated actions where appropriate to increase the effectiveness of the various navies present in the area,” according to the EU NAVFOR spokesman.

Israel has hinted at, but has not publicly acknowledged, anti-smuggling and counterterror operations around the Horn of Africa and into the Arabian Sea. In an interview last spring, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff, told Israel’s Yediot Ahronot, “You almost won’t find a point in time that nothing is happening somewhere around the world.”

Gantz spent a week in China last May as guest of PLA Commander Gen. Chen Bindnge. It was the first visit by an IDF chief of staff since 1996 and was aimed to strengthen Sino-Israeli ties in light of Beijing’s growing interests in the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf regions.
