Des casques bleus chinois au Mali: ce serait pour bientôt (et même un peu plus tôt)
Je désespérais un peu et craignais que l'annonce chinoise de déployer des casques bleus au Mali ait fait long feu. Et bien, non. China Military Online a annoncé le 17 octobre que les 395 hommes de la Task Force chinoise sont fin prêts.
Cette force comprend un détachement du génie, une équipe médicale et une unité de protection. Hervé Ladous (photo ci-dessus), le secrétaire général adjoint de l'Onu, en charge des opérations de la paix, a pu mesurer lors d'une inspection des casques bleus chinois leur niveau de préparation.
En revanche, aucune précision sur leur date de départ ou d'arrivée du gros du contingent (mais un détachement précurseur serait arrivé à Bamako en toute fin de semaine). La veille continue...

First Chinese peacekeeping taskforce to Mali is ready
BEIJING, October 17 (ChinaMil) -- The first Chinese peacekeeping taskforce of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to Mali is fully prepared in personnel, equipment, materials and so on, as reporter learned from the Peacekeeping Affairs Office under the Ministry of National Defense (MND) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC)on October 16, 2013. The peacekeeping taskforce comprises an engineer detachment, a guard detachment and a medical detachment, totaling 395 people. This is the first time for the PLA to dispatch security force to take part in the UN’s peacekeeping operations. After a field visit and inspection of the Chinese peacekeeping taskforce which will be sent to Mali, Hervé Ladsous, UN under-secretary-general for peacekeeping operations, stated that it is not an easy task to carry out peacekeeping operations in Mali. Since Mali has been in anarchic state for a long period of time, the peacekeeping troops will face serious asymmetric threat. It is believed that after the high-quality Chinese peacekeeping troops are deployed in place, they will play an important role in recovering peace in Mali. “I want to express gratitude to China on behalf of the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for its sending peacekeeping troops,” said Hervé Ladsous.

A Type 071 amphibious assault ship of the PLA Navy.
Shanghai's Jiangnan shipyard has been assigned to construct a modified version of Type 071 amphibious transport docks in preparation for a potential amphibious warfare over the disputed Diaoyutai (Senkaku) islands with Japan, reports the Canada-based Kanwa Defense Review. Current PLA Navy amphibious assault ships are only able to carry four Type 726 Yuyi-class air-cushioned landing craft, according to the report. The modified version will increase the potential load to six. This will gradually increase the PLA Navy's force projection capabilities. The displacement of the upgraded ship will be more than 30,000 tons, compared to the 28,000 tons of the original. Meanwhile, Ukraine had agreeded to provide blueprints of their Zubr-class air-cushioned landing craft to China. With this blueprint, China will be able to design new landing craft to replace the domestically-built Type 726.
Passing through Strait of Magellan for the first time
Chinese navy fleets set off on South American visit
SANYA, Hainan, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Two Chinese navy warships sailed out from Sanya harbor in south China's Hainan Province Tuesday on a voyage to Chile, Brazil and Argentina.
The fleet is made up of the missile destroyer Lanzhou and missile frigate Liuzhou, both serving in China's Nanhai Fleet, as well as the replenishment oiler Boyanghu serving in the Donghai Fleet, navy sources said.
Boyanghu set off from base on Sunday and will join the other warships later.
Their voyage will cover about 28,000 sea miles across the Pacific and to the South Atlantic via the Strait of Magellan.
It will be the first visit of the Chinese navy to Argentina, the sources said.
Lanzhou missile destroyer, with a full-load displacement of 6,400 tonnes, has served in a number of drills and escort missions in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia. Liuzhou missile frigate has a full-load displacement of 4,000 tonnes.

Beijing gets large-scaled UAV industrial base
BEIJING, Oct. 23 — A large-scaled whole-chain unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) industrial base will settle in southern Beijing’s Daxing District, according to the top management of China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics (CAAA) under China Aerospace Sci &Tech Corporation, Beijing Daily reported.
The UAV industrial base, which covers a total area of 134 ha, will be the first of its kind in China. The base will cluster flagship enterprises and regional S&T leaders in the sophisticated industry within three years. It will also develop a top-notch technological service system and explore new modes for commercial application so as to turn itself into a UAV tech and service hub with high value-added.
The industrial base’s estimated output will reach 10 billion yuan (US$1.6 billion) by 2015, 30 billion yuan (US$4.8 billion) by 2020, and more than 100 billion yuan (US$16.1 billion) by 2025.
By then, the industrial base will integrate all links on the industrial chain, from S&T, manufacturing, test flights, marketing, after-sales services and commercial applications.
Daxing, a high-tech manufacturing industrial belt in the city, is expected to be the most important industrial cluster area in the future.

PLA electronic reconnaissance ship in Hawaiian waters
By sending a People's Liberation Army electronic reconnaissance ship into Hawaiian waters, China is ready to project its influence to what it perceives as a "third island chain" which extends from the Aleutian Islands to Australia, what the Chinese have interpreted to be the "strategic rear" of the US military in the Asia-Pacific region, reports the Global Times, a tabloid published under the auspices of the Communist Party mouthpiece People's Daily. As professor James R Holmes wrote in his article written for the Diplomat, an online current affairs magazine based in Tokyo, the concept of a third island chain does not exist from the perspective of Asia specialists in the United States. However, the location of this island chain, positioned as it is only 2,400 miles from the coast of San Francisco symbolizes, from a Chinese point of view at least, the possibility of expanding Chinese maritime influence to the Eastern Pacific, according to Holmes. Like the strategic location of Taiwan and Japan within the so-called first island chain, centered on Taiwan, and the second, stretching from Japan to Indonesia, China views Hawaii as the center of the third island chain. As the headquarters of the US Pacific Command, Hawaii from a Chinese perspective also serves as the "strategic rear" for Washington to reinforce its allies in the Western Pacific if a conflict with China were to take place. The Global Times in typically bombastic style said that it is time for China to demonstrate its capabilities to the United States. From the perspective of the Ta Kung Pao, a Hong-Kong based newspaper funded by the Chinese Communist Party, the deployment of the US carrier, USS George Washington to the Yellow Sea for joint naval exercises with the Republic of Korea Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is an act of provocation. For this reason, the electronic reconnaissance ship had been deployed to Hawaiian waters and the Mobile 5 naval exercise was launched in an undisclosed location in the Western Pacific with the participation of China's three major fleets. The displacement of Chinese electronic reconnaissance ships is between 500 and 4,000 tonnes and they are equipped with a radio receiver, a radar receiver, a signal analyzer and even electronic jamming equipment. The appearance of the electronic reconnaissance ship in Hawaiian waters was posited as proof that China is able to conduct intelligence operations within the territorial waters of the United States, according to the paper, purportedly showing that the largest naval base in the Pacific is no longer safe from a potential Chinese naval attack.
PLA ballistic submarine can reach US cities with JL-2 missiles
China's nuclear-powered ballistic submarine is capable of conducting combat patrol missions around the Second Island Chain, according to military expert Li Li in an interview with the Party-run People's Daily online. The Second Island Chain extends from Honshu on the Japanese island chain southward to New Guinea. Only a few nations around the world are able to construct their own ballistic submarines because of the sheer difficulty, said Li. Larger pressurized water reactors are suitable for surface combat vessels, but cannot be used for submarines. It is extremely difficult for most nations around the world to build a properly sized pressurized water reactor in their submarines. Then there is building a nuclear reactor. The PLA Navy have solved these major problems through years of development. The earlier Chinese submarines designed during the Cold War were small, noisy and had a short attack range. China's new generation Type 094 Jin-class submarines are able to reach the Second Island Chain. Equipped with 16 JL-2 missiles, their attack range extends 8,000km. The JL-2 could hit Los Angeles from the waters east of the Kurile islands in the northern Pacific, Peter Howarth points out in his work China's Rising Sea Power: The Pla Navy's Submarine Challenge. When launched from the East China Sea, the JL-2 can reach Guam, Hawaii and Alaska. The JL-2 intercontinental submarine-launched ballistic missiles can also be equipped with a nuclear warhead, posing a considerable threat to US national security.
PLA precision attack range covers Asia-Pacific region
With the support of Beidou Navigation System, China's Second Artillery Corps would be able to launch precision attacks against targets throughout the Asia-Pacific region, according to the Canada-based Kanwa Defense Review. During the Sino-Indian War of 1962 and Sino-Vietamese War of 1979, the PLA was able to attack its enemy only within a 30km range with artillert and rockets. When supported by aircrafts, the range was extended to 300 to 400km at best. This limited the scope of PLA campaigns to border conflicts against neighbouring countries. Things are entirely different today. If a border conflict between Beijing and New Delhi takes place again, the PLA would able to launch precision attack against targets 300km into Indian territory with DF-11 ballistic missile alone. When supported by high-explosive, electromagnetic pulse and metal-augmented charge warheads, the DF-11 missiles would able to paralyze the command center of the Indian military forces. In addition, the missiles can be mobilized against traffic centers in India such as railways, tunnels, bridges and airports. The combat radius of the PLA Air Force's Su-30MKK fighter is now 1,500km, and its precision attacks cover 100 and 200km. Even New Delhi, the capital of India, would be within the range of a Chinese air attack, according to the report. Without even mobilizing ground forces, the DF-11 missile and Su-30 can be as deadly as a nuclear missile to China's opponents in a border conflict. When combined with a multiple rocket launcher system, the PLA would be able to cripple India or Vietnam politically and economically. Border conflict is no longer, like it was 50 years ago, confined to borders.

Pékin accuse Tokyo de "provocation" lors d'exercices navals, démenti japonais
PEKIN, 01 nov 2013 (AFP) - Pékin a accusé Tokyo de s'être livré à une "provocation extrêmement dangereuse" en interférant dans des manoeuvres navales chinoises, avertissant que des vies japonaises avaient été mises en péril, a rapporté vendredi la presse officielle chinoise.
Durant ces exercices militaires qui comportaient des tirs à munitions réelles dans l'ouest de l'océan Pacifique, des navires et des avions japonais ont suivi des bâtiments chinois, a dénoncé le ministère chinois de la Défense cité par les médias d'Etat.
"Les agissements des navires et des avions nippons n'ont pas seulement interféré avec le cadre normal de nos manoeuvres, mais ont également mis en danger la sécurité des déplacements des avions et navires c hinois, ce qui aurait pu causer des erreurs d'appréciation et des victimes accidentelles", a déclaré Yang Yujun, porte-parole du ministère chinois de la Défense, cité par le quotidien China Daily.
Il a fait ces déclarations lors d'une conférence de presse mensuelle à laquelle les médias étrangers ne peuvent assister.
Selon le journal Global Times, des forces aéronavales de l'Armée populaire de libération (APL) effectuaient des exercices en mer quand un bâtiment de guerre japonais "a fait irruption dans la zone des manoeuvres" et y est demeuré trois jours durant.
Le ministère chinois de la Défense a exprimé à la suite de ces faits "une protestation solennelle", a ajouté le journal.
Le Japon a démenti toute interférence par la voix du secrétaire général adjoint du gouvernement: "le Japon mène de façon appropriées des opérations de surveillance et d'avertissement. Il est faux de prétendre que le Japon a interféré dans des manoeuvres navales chinoises", a déclaré Katsunobu Kato, ajoutant que Tokyo avait déjà fait part aux autorités chinoises de son opinion.
Pékin et Tokyo sont englués dans un interminable différend territorial autour d'un archipel inhabité en mer de Chine orientale, nommé Diaoyu par les Chinois et Senkaku par les Japonais

DF-15C : le nouveau missile balistique chinois
En octobre, les médias d’Etat chinois ont pour la première fois fait mention de l’apparition du nouveau missile balistique à courte portée DF-15C. Les premières photos de ce missile datent de 2006, mais aujourd’hui ces armes pourraient être utilisées par l’armée chinoise.
Le missile DF-15C est fabriqué par la 4e académie de la corporation de l’Académie de la China Aerospace Science and Technology Corpporation (CASC), située à Xi’an (Chine centrale). L’armée chinoise a commencé à s’équiper des missiles de ce type dès 1989. A cette époque, leurs performances n’avaient rien d’exceptionnel, et manquaient de précision. Donc, le missile DF-15B et les missiles DF-15C qui arrivent actuellement dans les arceaux de l’Armée populaire de libération (APL) chinoise sont des armes d’un type nouveau et ne ressemblent pas à leurs prédécesseurs : les missiles DF-15 et DF-15A. A la différence des missiles de la génération précédente, DF-15B et DF-15C sont composés non pas d’une, mais de deux étapes. Ainsi, le missile DF-15B possède une portée plus importante (900 kilomètres au lieu de 600 kilomètres), sa tête permet de guider la trajectoire, et réaliser une manœuvre avec davantage de précision. Si les versions antérieures des missiles DF-15 étaient principalement utilisées pour les tirs visant des grands objets de l’infrastructure civile et les villes, ses dernières modifications peuvent viser des cibles militaires protégées. La Chine pourrait employer des missiles balistiques de haute précision de faible et moyenne portée contre un ennemi potentiel dont les forces aériennes sont plus nombreuses. Ces missiles peuvent porter des frappes efficaces contre des cibles à l’arrière-front d’un tel ennemi. Mais si les circonstances sont favorables, ces missiles pourraient même devenir un moyen de remporter une bataille dans l’air, si au stade initial du conflit une frappe importante contre des aérodromes est portée. Selon les médias chinois, le missile DF-15C ne remplacera pas le DF-15B, mais viendra en supplément. Le nouveau missile possède un rayon d’action beaucoup moins important, tout en ayant une capacité de viser des moyens de défense. Outre les centres de commandement souterrains, ainsi que des entrepôts et des casernes, ces missiles pourraient avoir pour cibles des capots de protection pour les avions qui sont toujours utilisés par de nombreux pays. Les constructeurs continuent à développer la série DF-15 malgré l’arrivée dans les stocks de l’APL des missiles DF-16 plus puissants et avec un rayon d’action pouvant atteindre 1000 km. La Chine qui n’est pas liée par des limitations strictes en matière des types et de la quantité des missiles, est donc en train de devenir l’un des centres mondiaux de développement de ces armes. Ni la Russie, ni les États-Unis n’ont le droit de fabriquer des missiles similaires au DF-15 en vertu d’un accord interdisant la fabrication de missiles d’une portée de plus de 500 km et de moins de 5500 km. Ainsi, le principal missile balistique tactique russe Iskander a une portée d'au moins 500 km. Les missiles DF-15 représentent la principale force de frappe du complexe de près de 1800 unités pointés sur Taiwan. On peut supposer que ce missile a bien été testé et son coût n’est pas très élevé. Son prix modeste et la production en masse des missiles posent la question de la possibilité de les contrer à l’aide des systèmes de défense antimissile. Car chaque missile antimissile coûte plus cher - plusieurs millions de dollars. Les systèmes de défense antimissile avec l'utilisation de complexes Patriot PAC 3 sont désormais déployés dans un certain nombre de pays de la région, et en théorie ils peuvent protéger d’une frappe éventuelle un certain nombre de sites. Ils ne sont toutefois pas capables de protéger contre l’utilisation massive de missiles balistiques tactiques chinois. T

PLA needs at least 20 nuclear submarines, says admiral
China does not need as many nuclear-powered submarines as the United States but it will need at least 20 to defend its maritime interests, according to Rear Admiral Yang Yi of the People's Liberation Army Navy in an article written for the Global Times, a tabloid under the auspices of the Communist Party mouthpiece People's Daily. Yang said that a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine is by far the most powerful naval weapons system that currently exists. With the world's largest fleet of nuclear submarines during the Cold War, the Soviet Union was able to compete with the United States and its aircraft carriers. After the collapse of Soviet Union in 1991, Yang said that the United States is now the only maritime superpower with both aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. Taking the Virginia-class fast attack submarine as an example, Yang said that US nuclear submarines are designed to complete multiple missions. Virginia-class subs can not only launch ballistic missiles against enemy strategic targets on the ground, but can also be used in anti-submarine or anti-ship operations, Yang said. The admiral added that each of US Navy's four Ohio-class cruise missile submarines are also able to launch 156 Tomahawk cruise missiles, while the other 14 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines have the capability to wipe out a medium-size nation with 100 UGM-133 Trident D-5 missiles. Yang believes it is unnecessary for Beijing to launch an arms race with Washington, however, as the United States has a more experience in operating nuclear submarines. It is already a miracle that China has developed a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines in such a short period of time since the 1970s, according to Yang. In an interview with the state-run China News Service, Yang added that it is now time for the world to know the capability of the PLA's North Sea Fleet operating from its base in Qingdao in eastern China's Shandong province. However, Yang denied that China has the ability to produce and operate between 70 and 80 nuclear submarines like the United States. China is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and 20 nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines is more than enough to uphold the nation's status in the global community, Yang said. He said China should build its military force patiently and that the current submarine fleet can be used to maintain world peace while also defending the country's national interests.
China Is Trying to Copy America’s Naval Radar Plane
Taiwanese spies caught helping Beijing build E-2 clone China’s building a second aircraft carrier—a bigger, more capable flattop to take over from Liaoning, a refurbished Russian vessel that Beijing is using to learn naval aviation fundamentals. And the new carrier could have a powerful new radar plane, thanks to China’s efforts to copy—and steal—details of the America’s own E-2 Hawkeye early-warning aircraft.
In late October, authorities in Taipei revealed that a major in the Taiwanese air force—part of a ring of up to 20 turncoats—had been caught trying to sell technical data on the E-2 to Chinese agents. Taiwan operates six of the twin-engine E-2s, which feature a large rotating radar dish atop their fuselages for detecting ships and airplanes hundreds of miles away. Taiwan flies its Hawkeyes from land, but the U.S. and French navies use their own E-2s aboard aircraft carriers. The Northrop Grumman-built radar planes are among the most important aircraft on a flattop. Crewed by “battle managers,” they spot targets and help plot courses for jet fighters and other planes.
Rugged, compact and optimized for short takeoffs and landings, the E-2 is ideal for shipboard use. But it requires a catapult to boost it off a carrier’s deck. China’s rebuilt first flattop Liaoning does not have a catapult and therefore cannot operate large, heavy planes like the Hawkeye. But the second carrier, currently under construction, does have a catapult—if a few blurry photos are any indication. A “cat”-equipped second carrier could carry radar planes, giving its air wing many of the same capabilities that currently only the Americans and French possess. Chinese state industry has been hard at work on a basic airframe similar in layout to the E-2. The first photos appeared in 2011—and in 2012 a miniature Hawkeye-style plane was displayed incongruously on an official-looking scale model of Liaoning.
That JZY-01 radar plane prototype appeared in high-resolution photos in July 2012. But it was unclear then—and remains unclear today—what kinds of internal electronic systems are installed on the JZY-01. That Beijing is trying to acquire data on Taiwan’s E-2s seems to imply that the Chinese need that information to improve the JZY-01. Taipei is still assessing how much information the spy ring gave away and how damaging it might be. To be sure, China’s theft of the E-2 specs is consistent with the country’s wide-ranging espionage campaign targeting Western warplane development. Chinese hackers stole data from Lockheed Martin related to that firm’s F-35 stealth fighter.
That information may have contributed to Beijing’s recent production of a new stealth fighter prototype.

China displays nuclear submarine fleet for first time
China has displayed its nuclear submarines for the first time in over four decades to showcase their "excellent safety" record as part of a naval drill. The submarines were shown as taking part in exercises along with naval ships and helicopters. The drill is the first open-sea drill in which maritime and air forces from all three of China's fleets have taken part, state-run Xinhua news agency reported on Monday. "We are China's first nuclear submarine force, and the 42 years since our establishment have witnessed our success in avoiding nuclear accidents," Rear Admiral Gao Feng, commander of one of the People's Liberation Army navy's submarine bases, told reporters in Qingdao port. While state television has shown the footage of the submarines taking part in the exercises, which according to the official media is the first time in 42 years ever since it began inducting nuclear submarines in the fleet, the print media highlighted its safety track with no accident record. The exercises in the west Pacific went on "despite foreign disturbance", the People's Liberation Army said. Foreign military vessels and reconnaissance aircraft, reportedly from Japan and US remained in the exercise area for an undue time monitoring Chinese activity in the close distance and seriously disturbing the naval drill, reports said. Chinese authorities had previously publicised the exercise areas via international maritime organisations in accordance with international practice, alerting foreign vessels and planes to take precautions. Though the media has not revealed the numbers of nuclear subs, international defence experts estimate it has eight to 10 subs backed by 50 to 60 diesel and electric submarines. The strength of the Chinese navy was estimated to be around 2.25 lakh personnel. The decision to display N-Subs for the first time shows China's confidence in the defence build-up and capability, defence analysts said. It also demonstrates the transparency of China's nuclear assets, which the west is demonstrating for long, they said.
China has decommissioned its first nuclear-powered submarine after more than 40 years of service in the military, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Daily reported Tuesday. The submarine's nuclear devices have been properly disposed of and scientists have decontaminated the warehouse where nuclear items were stored during the past 40 years. The submarine will be used as an exhibit after it is released from military service, according to the newspaper. China's first nuclear-powered submarine, the Long March No. 1, was launched in 1970. It was commissioned to the PLA navy in 1974. The Long March 1 belongs to the Han Class nuclear-powered submarine(Type 091), which was produced based on technologies of the 1950s and 1960s and has short range weapons. With a displacement of 5,000 tons, the class is usually equipped with six torpedo tubes.
China has two types of submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) developed for two types of nuclear- powered ballistic missile submarines: the JL-1 and JL-2. Neither missile is operational. The 1,700-km-range, two-stage JL-1 (CSS-NX-3) SLBM developed for a single old Xia-class (Type 092) submar- ine first entered service in 1986 and is not considered operational. The Xia is based at the North Fleet Base near Qingdao in the Shandong province. The submarine underwent a lengthy shipyard overhaul in 2005-2006 but appears to have stayed in port since then. The Xia/JL-1 weapon system is expected to be retired soon. Development of the new JL-2 (CSS-NX-14) SLBM for the second-generation Jin-class (Type 094) submarine is nearing completion. After several setbacks, China appears to have overcome technical difficulties and successfully test-launched the JL-2 in 2012-2013. The US intelligence community expects the JL-2 may reach initial operational capability in 2013 or 2014. The JL-2 is a modified version of the DF-31. Equipped with a single warhead and, possibly, penetration aids, the JL-2 has never been flight-tested to its full range but is estimated to have a range of 7,000-plus km. Such a range is sufficient to target Alaska, Guam, Russia, and India from waters near China-but unless the submarine sails significantly eastward, not the continental United States. Three Jin-class submarines are in service (without missiles), and the US intelligence community speculates that China may build a total of five before proceeding to develop a third-generation (Type 096) over the next decade. With 12 missile-launch tubes per submarine, three Jin-class boats could carry 36 missiles with an equal number of warheads-a significant increase from the 12 SLBMs that the sole Xia-class submarine carried. The Pentagon asserts that the Jin/JL-2 weapon system "will give the PLA Navy its first credible sea-based nuclear deterrent" (Defense Department, 2013). While that may be true in theory, a Chinese nuclear-powered submarine fleet faces several doctrinal, technical, and operational constraints in practice. Under current doctrine, China's Central Military Commission does not allow the military services to have warheads deployed on missiles under normal circumstances. Handing over custody of nuclear warheads to deployed submarines in peacetime would constitute a significant change of Chinese doctrine. Moreover, no Chinese ballistic missile submarine has ever sailed on a deterrent patrol, so China's navy and the Central Military Commission have essentially no experience in operating a submarine force during realistic military operations. Developing this capability will require development of new command-and-control technologies and procedures. But even if China deployed warheads on submarines and sent them to sea in a crisis, where would they sail? For a JL-2 to reach the continental United States, a Jin-class submarine would have to sail through the East China Sea and well into the Pacific Ocean, through dangerous choke points where it would be vulnerable to hostile antisubmarine warfare. China's main concern is the survivability of its minimum nuclear deterrent, and it spends considerable resources on dispersing and hiding its land-based missiles. This makes its submarine program puzzling, for it is much riskier to deploy nuclear weapons at sea, where submarines can be sunk by unfriendly forces, than to deploy them on land.

Une nouvelle station d’écoute chinoise à la frontière indienne
La guerre électronique s’intensifie autour de la province de Ladakh.
Depuis de longues décennies, la région du Cachemire constitue un enjeu stratégique majeur à la fois pour l’Inde et le Pakistan dans le nord de la chaîne himalayenne. La Chine surveille très activement et très discrètement le secteur dont elle est frontalière.
Ainsi, le 20 août dernier, un C-130J réalisait pour la première fois un atterrissage sur la plus haute piste au monde (5065 mètres) dans la province de Ladakh. Réactivée en 2008 avec l’atterrissage d’un AN-32, la piste n’avait pas été utilisée depuis 1965. Une manoeuvre militaire remarquée par la Chine qui y a vu aussitôt des mouvements militaires inhabituels à mieux anticiper. Selon India Today citant plusieurs sources officielles, l’armée chinoise a installé ces dernières semaines une nouvelle station radar à la frontière entre la Chine et l’Inde. L’objectif est clair : Ecouter les communications militaires indiennes dans la province de Ladakh. Répondant à plusieurs interrogations, les chinois ont expliqué qu’il s’agissait uniquement d’une station météorologique.
Depuis l’été dernier, le Super Hercules a effectué au moins sept rotations sur cette piste, d’après India Today. Cette station chinoise permettra dorénavant à la Chine de mieux suivre les trajets des avions de transport indiens dans la zone et, éventuellement grâce à d’autres moyens de renseignements, de déterminer les contenus de ces différentes livraisons militaires.

China; National UAV industrial hub planned
China will establish a special industrial base for the development and production of unmanned aerial vehicles in Beijing’s southern Daxing District, reports Chinese-language media reports. The base will be the first of its kind in China and will cover a total area of 134 hectors (14,400 sq. ft). It will be a “large-scaled whole-chain” UAV industrial base, according to “top management” of the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the Beijing Daily said. It will “integrate all links on the industrial chain”, including science and technology, manufacturing, test flights, marketing, after-sales services, and commercial applications. According to media reports, the base’s estimated output is projected to be $1.6 billion by 2015, $4.8 billion by 2020, and $16.1 billion by 2025. Both the numbers and support (i.e., CAAA) suggests the base will be largely commercial.
La blogosphère chinoise a livré cette semaine des images d’un nouveau drone venu de Chine. Ce monoréacteur apparaît comme un système de classe Male (moyenne altitude longue endurance) haut de gamme, équipé de capteurs optiques et radars, comme en témoignent certaines « ouvertures » visibles de part et d’autre du fuselage avant.
Ce nouveau drone présente un air de ressemblance avec le projet de drone à haute altitude Soar Dragon, développé par l’Institut 611 de Chengdu, affichant comme ce dernier une aile de type rhomboïdal. En revanche, ce nouveau drone est équipé d’un empennage en V, tandis que l’autre était doté d’une unique dérive verticale, et il semble plus petit que le projet de Chengdu.

US Report: 1st Sub-launched Nuke Missile Among China's Recent Strides
TAIPEI — For the first time in the country’s history, China’s sea-based nuclear deterrent nears initial operational capability (IOC), according to a forthcoming report by a US congressional commission on China. China’s JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile could reach IOC later this year, according to an early draft of the report by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission. With a range of 4,000 nautical miles, the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) will have its first credible sea-based nuclear deterrent against the US mainland, mated with the Type 094 Jin-class nuclear ballistic missile submarine (SSBN). China has deployed three Jin-class SSBN and “probably will field two additional units by 2020.” The report also states that China is pursuing two new classes of nuclear submarines — the Type 095 guided-missile attack submarine (SSGN) and the Type 096 SSBN. The Type 096 will likely “improve the range, mobility, stealth, and lethality” of the PLAN’s nuclear deterrent. US military facilities on Guam are coming into conventional missile range for China, according to the report. Though China does not have the ability to strike land targets with sea-based cruise missiles, the report states China’s navy is developing a land-attack cruise missile capability, most likely with the Type-095 SSGN and Luyang-III (Type 052D) guided-missile destroyer. This will enhance China’s “flexibility for attacking land targets throughout the Western Pacific, including US facilities in Guam.” In June, according to the report, the People’s Liberation Army Air Force accepted 15 new H-6K bomber aircraft. An improved variant of the H-6, the K variant has extended range and can carry China’s new long-range, land-attack cruise missile (LACM). “The bomber/LACM weapon system provides the PLA Air Force with the ability to conduct conventional strikes against regional targets throughout the Western Pacific,” including Guam. The report states China is working on extending the range of the DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile. With its current range of 810 nautical miles, it can already threaten US naval vessels throughout the Western Pacific. At 1,600 nautical miles from China, Guam falls outside the DF-21D’s range. Other developments cited in the report include progress on China’s first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, which conducted its first successful carrier-based takeoff and landing with the J-15 Flying Shark fighter jet in November 2012, certified its first group of aircraft carrier pilots and landing signal officers during the ship’s first operational deployment in June, and verified its flight-deck operations process in September. “The PLAN will continue to conduct short deployments and shipboard aviation training until 2015 to 2016, when China’s first J-15 regiment is expected to become operational,” the report states. The document discusses other impressive surface ship developments. In 2012, China launched two new classes: the Luyang-III guided-missile destroyer and the Jiangdao (Type 056) corvette. Construction resumed for the Luyang-II (Type 052C) guided-missile destroyer and serial production continues for the Jiangkai-II (Type 054A) guided-missile frigate. “Most of these units will likely be operational by 2015,” according to the report. Quoting Andrew Erickson and Gabe Collins, both renowned PLA experts, the report states that “by 2015, China will likely be second globally in numbers of large warships built and commissioned since the Cold War’s end ... by 2020, barring a US naval renaissance, it is possible that China will become the world’s leading military shipbuilder in terms of numbers of submarines, surface combatants and other naval surface vessels produced per year.” One of the many disturbing conclusions in the report is the suggestion that China’s military modernization is “on track to alter the security balance in Asia over the next five to 10 years, challenging decades of US military preeminence.” And as the US military and diplomatic community work feverishly to improve Sino-US ties, China is “rapidly expanding and diversifying its ability to conduct conventional strikes against US and allied bases, ships, and aircraft throughout the region.”

CAD images suggest 'strike' version of Shenyang J-31
Key Points
CAD images that have appeared on Chinese websites suggest a strike version of Shenyang's J-31 stealth fighter
The CAD images cannot be verified but would make sense given the PLAAF's lack of interest in the existing J-31 programme
Computer-aided design (CAD) images that have appeared on the Chinese internet indicate that the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) may be considering a larger "strike" version of its J-31 fighter. It is not possible to confirm whether these CAD images are from a corporate source, such as SAC's 601 Design Institute, or perhaps the work of a student from the associated Shenyang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which was involved in designing a flying scale model of the J-31 first seen in 2010. However, it is plausible that SAC would be working on additional variants of the J-31, which is an industry rather than military-funded programme. The lack of People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) support for the existing J-31 may have prompted SAC to develop a new version that may prove more attractive. The lengthened J-31 concept is reminiscent of the US Air Force's interest in a stealth fighter-bomber version of the Lockheed Martin F-22, sometimes called the FB-22, which was abandoned in favour of a new long-range bomber.
The J-31 strike version has a triplane planform and is here shown fitted with a single YJ-12 supersonic anti-ship missile on the centreline
The CAD images show a triplane-configured fighter with front canards and rear horizontal stabilisers. The chined nose and the vertical stabilisers are similar to the J-31 fighter that first flew on 31 October 2012. The design also features clear planform co-ordination among the lifting surfaces to aid low observability. The wing is much larger than the J-31 and increases fuel capacity for a greater strike radius, but the fuselage does not appear to be much wider. An internal weapon bay is not pictured but one image shows it armed with a single YJ-12 supersonic anti-ship missile on the centreline. A chart that also appeared online shows the new design in comparison to the SAC J-15 carrier fighter, suggesting a possible future role on China's current and future aircraft carriers. The chart shows that in terms of length, height, and wingspan, the new design is only slightly larger than the J-15, and as such may be compatible with Liaoning, China's Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, and a second indigenously designed carrier expected to be similar in size and configuration. This lengthened and heavier version of the J-31 would require a more powerful engine than the Klimov RD-93 fitted to the J-31 to be employed from a short take-off but arrested recovery carrier such as Liaoning. Russia's Klimov bureau has developed the 20,000 lb-thrust RD-33MK, while unconfirmed Chinese sources indicate that a slightly more powerful version of the WS-13 turbofan is also under development. The WS-13 has been WS-13 testing on a Chengdu FC-1 fighter since about 2010.

La dissuasion nucléaire chinoise se perfectionne
Les composantes navales et aériennes sont en phase de test.
Pour la première fois dans l’histoire du pays, la Chine s’apprête à déclarer la certification militaire (initial operational capability) de ses différents moyens dédiés à la dissuasion nucléaire, selon un rapport d’une commission du Congrès américain sur la Chine.
D’après les conclussions de ce rapport, le missile chinois JL-2 pourrait atteindre cette certification avant la fin de l’année. Avec une portée maximale estimée à environ 7400 kilomètres, ce nouveau missile permettrait à terme à la Chine d’entrer dans un club très fermé des puissances capables de mettre en oeuvre l’arme atomique. Concrètement, l’île de Guam sera désormais à portée des missiles chinois.
Le JL-2 pourrait ainsi être tiré depuis un sous-marin type 094 de classe Jin. Trois d’entre eux sont déjà en service mais leur pleine capacité opérationnelle est mise en doute par de nombreux observateurs. Deux autres sous-marins Jin pourraient être construits avant la fin de la décennie. Les futurs générations (type 095 et 096) sont déjà en cours de développement.
D’autre part, la marine chinoise mène également des études pour se doter d’un missile de croisière capable de détruire des cibles terrestres. Les destroyers Luyang-III pourraient à terme mettre en oeuvre une telle capacité de frappe navale. Toujours selon ce même rapport, la Chine a perçu en juin dernier 15 nouveaux bombardiers H-6K. Cette variante du H-6 est déterminante puisqu’elle permet l’emport et le tir de missiles de croisière. Les missiles DF-21D doivent subir une modernisation, Guam est encore hors de leur portée.

China Tests High-Speed Precision-Guided Torpedo
China’s navy recently conducted a test of a new high-speed maneuvering torpedo that poses a threat to U.S. ships and submarines.
Defense officials said the new torpedo is the latest example of what the Pentagon calls Beijing’s anti-access, area-denial, or AA/AD, high-tech weaponry.
Other new weapons include China’s recently deployed anti-ship ballistic missile, the DF-21D, which is designed to sink U.S. aircraft carriers far from China’s shores.
China’s military showcased last month another high-tech weapon designed to target Navy ships and submarines. U.S. submarines are considered one of the U.S. military’s most important counter weapons to the AA/AD threat.
The torpedo test was disclosed on a Chinese blog, a frequent outlet for official leaks of new weapons systems in the Chinese arsenal.
The blog Tencent, one of China’s largest online outlets, revealed Oct. 15 that China’s navy conducted an underwater test launch of a new precision-guided, maneuvering torpedo in the South China Sea.
China has been blamed for growing tensions in the South China Sea region over the past several months by asserting claim to nearly 90 percent of the waters, bringing it into potential conflict with Vietnam and Philippines and raising concerns in Indonesia and Malaysia about growing Chinese hegemony.
The blog post included a series of photos revealing what was described as a new type of high-speed “intelligent” torpedo that sank a 1,000-ton target ship in the test firing.
“The new-type torpedo that was launched from a long distance and at a great depth nimbly skirted around the jamming ‘acoustic decoy’ and struck right in the middle of the 1,000-ton-plus target ship, sinking it with a loud boom,” the posting reported.
The report said the new torpedo represents a “leap” for the People’s Liberation Army Navy to “the front ranks of the world.”
Rick Fisher, a China military affairs expert, said the new torpedo signals a shift in China’s past practice of relying on Soviet-Russian and stolen American technology to build torpedoes.
China also is said to be using Russian underwater warfare know-how to build a torpedo-killing anti-torpedo. The killer torpedoes are launched against incoming underwater torpedoes that, like the reported new Chinese weapon, are immune to U.S. electronic countermeasures.
“If China is developing torpedoes that are able to out-fox towed decoys like the U.S. Nixie system, then it becomes more urgent that the U.S. Navy deploy its own ‘anti-torpedo’ torpedo,” said Fisher, senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center.
The Nixie system is a ship-towed electronic decoy that simulates the signature of a ship in the water. It is intended to divert homing torpedoes from hitting ships carrying the decoy.
“The U.S. has had such a [anti-torpedo] system under development for many years, but it now needs to be preserved in time of tighter budgets, and even accelerated,” Fisher said.
The designation for the new Chinese torpedo and the type of submarine or ship it was fired from were not identified. One photo showed the torpedo fired from a ship. Other photos showed it being loaded on a submarine.
However, the test was conducted near the South China Sea’s Hainan Island. A tunnel entrance to a coastal submarine base on the island was photographed several years ago by satellites.
The base is home to China’s new Type 094 attack submarines and the torpedo test was likely fired from the nuclear powered sub.
The posting said China’s torpedo technology in the past was a “weak area” of military development. But armed with the new “all digital” torpedo, attack submarines will be able to “fight winning battles.”
According to the blog, the torpedo was fired at a preset course “like a kite that was tethered to the submarine, as it was still receiving real-time instructions from the submarine.”
Then at a certain point, the torpedo “guidance device” was activated and the torpedo searched for its target. Within minutes it “automatically adjusted the attack depth and started to charge toward the target ship at a greater speed, successfully piercing the target!” the report said.
The torpedo pierced the target four times before its high-explosive warhead exploded, sinking the ship.
A draft congressional report on China’s military to be released in its final form later this month said China is rapidly building up its naval forces, especially submarines. According to the Office of Naval Intelligence, China by 2020 will have between 59 and 64 diesel-electric submarines, between six and nine nuclear attack submarines, and between four and five ballistic missile submarines.
The Chinese navy is currently building at least seven classes of new submarines and warships, more than any other nation in the world except the United States.
“The PLA Navy’s growing inventory of modern nuclear and conventional submarines will significantly enhance China’s ability to strike opposing surface ships throughout the Western Pacific and to protect its future sea-based nuclear deterrent patrollers and aircraft carrier task groups,” the draft report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission stated.
Overall, the Chinese buildup “presents significant challenges to U.S. security interests in Asia” and is on track to “alter the security balance in Asia over the next five to 10 years, challenging decades of U.S. military preeminence.”
“First and foremost, major elements of this program—such as the DF-21D antiship ballistic missile and increasing numbers of advanced submarines armed with antiship cruise missiles—are designed to restrict U.S. freedom of action throughout the Western Pacific,” the report said.
“As the PLA’s anti-access/area denial capabilities mature, the costs and risks to the United States for intervention in a potential regional conflict involving China will increase.”
