PLAN inducts two Type 056 corvettes into South China Sea fleet

China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has commissioned two Jiangdao-class (Type 056) guided-missile corvettes into its South China Sea fleet, according to PLA-sponsored news outlets.

Luzhou (592) and Qinyuan (589) were commissioned on 7 June and 11 June respectively. Luzhou was manufactured at Wuhan Shipyard in Hubei province while Qinyuan was built at the Huangpu Shipyard in Guangzhou.

The 1,500 tonne full-load displacement vessels have a length of 90 m and a beam of 11 m. They can reach a top speed of 25 kt and attain a standard range of 6482 km (3,500 n miles) at 16 kt.

According to IHS Jane's Fighting Ships , class vessels carry an eight-cell launcher aft for FL-3000N short-range surface-to-air missiles, four launchers for C-802 surface-to-surface missiles, a 76 mm AK-176 main gun, and two 30 mm cannons.

China may become first buyer of S-400s - Russian official



China may become the first buyer of Russia's S-400 anti-aircraft missile system, the Kremlin's chief of staff Sergei Ivanov said on Thursday.

"Chances that China may be the first foreign buyer [of S-400s] are high," he told reporters.

S-400, a new-generation long and medium-range anti-aircraft missile system, is capable of destroying all the existing air attack weapons, including tactical and strategic aircraft, ballistic missiles and hypersonic targets.

Russia and China see no sense in creating military alliance – Kremlin

Russia and China see no sense in creating a military alliance; relations between Moscow and Beijing are not directed against anyone, head of the presidential administration of Russia Sergey Ivanov told journalists. He noted that the cooperation between Russia and China was fruitful.

"But at the same time, I find no sense, and the Chinese side, I must admit, also finds no sense in creating a new military alliance or union, or something like that. Our relations, including in the sphere of defense, are not directed against anyone," said Ivanov.

Immediate transition to payments in rubles, yuans between Russia and China is impossible - official

Transition to payments in rubles and yuans between Russia and China is realistic, but this cannot be done in one step, head of the presidential administration of Russia Sergey Ivanov said to journalists on Thursday.

"It all depends on the deadline you have in mind. Firstly, it is realistic; secondly, it is unrealistic in the nearest historical perspective, this cannot be done in one step," said the head of the Kremlin.

News Flash: China's Third Aircraft Carrier Could Be Nuclear


In fact, multiple media sources confirm that China has already begun work on its second aircraft carrier, a sister ship to the Liaoning (PLAN CV-16), and likely to be designated CV-17.

What's more, People's Liberation Army Major General Luo Yuan has publicly stated that China's People's Liberation Army-Navy (PLAN) needs three aircraft carriers at a minimum, just to maintain parity with its neighbors. As the general explained: "India will have three aircraft carriers by 2014 and Japan will have three carriers by 2014, so I think the number (for China) should not be less than three." So it should come as no great surprise when we learn that China's race to build a blue water navy is now rounding the corner and heading for a third carrier build.

But here's something that may surprise you: This third Chinese carrier will probably be nuclear -- a 100,000-ton monster of a warship, equal in size, and perhaps in capability, to the Nimitz and Ford-class nuclear aircraft carriers built by Huntington Ingalls

What does this news mean to America's military, to Huntington Ingalls, and to investors in Huntington and other defense contractors? Read on, and we'll lay it all out for you.

Welcome to the (nuclear) carrier club
Currently, 12 countries around the world possess aircraft carriers. (The exact number depends on what exactly you think constitutes an "aircraft carrier." For example, Japan's helicopter destroyer class of warship is only capable of carrying helicopters -- but China considers them aircraft carriers nonetheless). But so far, the only nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the world, are those built by Huntington Ingalls for America.

This gives the U.S. Navy a big advantage over its potential rivals in endurance, in range of operations, in speed, and in on-board power generation. But China is closing the gap quickly.

China's newest carrier is said to feature three aircraft elevators, the capacity to carry 75 or more warplanes, and electrically powered catapults to launch them. Word has it that the new ship will bear the hull number CVN-18 -- indicating it will be the second to be built after Liaoning (CV-16), and with the "N" designation, will be nuclear-powered.

At present, the new carrier's only incarnation is as a scale model making the rounds in China. But according to Richard Fisher, senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center, China could begin work on this third aircraft carrier at its Jiangnan-Changxin shipyard in Shanghai "very soon."

Money can't buy happiness -- but it can buy a lot of aircraft carriers
The shift in balance of power at sea, with U.S. influence waning and China in ascendant, has been dramatic. As recently as two years ago, China had no operable aircraft carriers. Now it has one-and-a-half, and a third on the way.

And while some may argue that China can't afford the expense of building nuclear supercarriers, the facts argue otherwise. According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) in Sweden, China boasts an annual military budget in excess of $188 billion, making it the world's second biggest defense spender after the United States. And recently, Time put actual Chinese military spending at more than $200 million. So even if Colonel Li Jie at China's Institute of Naval Military Academy laments the high "about 5 billion U.S. dollars" cost of building a nuclear aircraft carrier -- this is a luxury that China's military can certainly afford.

What it means for investors
In the best case, Congress currently anticipates building new aircraft carriers for the Navy at the rate of one every five years. But America currently has only 10 of its federally mandated 11 aircraft carriers operational, and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has publicly floated plans to cut that number to as little as "eight or nine."

Meanwhile, China is rapidly ramping its carrier construction, going from zero to three carriers operational, beginning construction, or entering the planning stages in just the past two years. All too rapidly, the "carrier gap" is closing.

Now, maybe this isn't a bad thing. After all, just this week, Chinese President Xi Jinping argued that it's time to "break the old pattern of conflict and opposition between great powers," and improve "cooperation between China and the U.S." If China intends to use its new carriers to promote freedom of trade in the South China Sea, and deliver aid to neighboring nations struck by earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes -- as the U.S. often does -- then that's all well and good.

But if China's intentions are otherwise -- or if Congress even fears they may become so, and deems it prudent to maintain naval superiority in aircraft carriers -- then the U.S. simply must build more of them, and build them faster. For Huntington Ingalls, the last remaining nuclear aircraft carrier-builder in America, that can only mean good things.

The more and the bigger aircraft carriers China builds, the harder it's going to be for even would-be budget-cutters in Congress to cut back on spending to bulk up America's fleet.

You can't afford to miss this
"Made in China" -- an all too familiar phrase. But not for much longer: There's a radical new technology out there, one that's already being employed by the U.S. Air Force, BMW and even Nike. Respected publications like The Economist have compared this disruptive invention to the steam engine and the printing press; Business Insider calls it "the next trillion dollar industry." Watch The Motley Fool's shocking video presentation to learn about the next great wave of technological innovation, one that will bring an end to "Made In China" for good

Russia Deliveres Last Batch of Mi-171E Helicopters to China

MOSCOW, July 15 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Helicopters holding delivered the last batch of Mi-171E transport helicopters built at the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant to Chinese company Poly Technologies, a company spokesperson stated Tuesday.

It's the last batch under a contract for 48 helicopters signed in 2012 by the Chinese company and Russia's arms exporter Rosoboronexport. In total, with additional contracts, 52 helicopters were delivered, the statement said.

Mi-171E helicopters are successfully operated in China, in particular in regions with challenging terrain and severe climate conditions. Helicopters are used for transporting medical supplies, humanitarian aid, and construction materials.

New helicopters are adapted for flights over mountainous terrain, fitted with enhanced VK-2500 engines, Safir auxiliary power plants, and modernized transmissions.

China is one of the largest consumers of Russian-made helicopters. China currently operates more than 160 Mi-171 helicopters.

 Exercice RIMPAC 2014 : La Chine déploie un navire espion au large d’Hawaï

Posté dans Asie-Pacifique, Forces navales par Laurent Lagneau Le 22-07-2014  

Cette année, pour la première fois, la Chine participe à l’important exercice aéro-naval Rim of the Pacific, organisé tous les deux ans par les États-Unis dans les environs d’Hawaï. À cette fin, la marine chinoise y a envoyé un destroyer, une frégate, navire de ravitaillement et un navire-hôpital.

Jusque-là, il n’y a rien à dire. Sachant les tensions entre la Chine et les alliés des États-Unis dans la région, l’on peut se dire que cette invitation adressée à la composante navale de l’armée populaire de libération (APL) est une bonne chose et cette initiative est de narture à éviter de possibles malentendus à l’avenir… Sauf que Pékin a aussi déployé, au large d’Hawaï, le Beijixing, un navire espion de la classe Dongdiao… Et ce dernier n’était pas prévu au programme.

La présence d’un bâtiment chinois dédié à la collecte du renseignement d’origine électronique n’est pas une nouveauté : c’était déjà le cas lors de la dernière édition de RIMPAC. Et la Chine n’est pas la seule à procéder de la sorte.

Mais alors, pourquoi Pourquoi la marine chinoise a-t-elle envoyé  le Beijixing dans une zone où se tient des manoeuvres navales exercice auxquelles elle prend part? Qu’on le veuille ou non, il est quand même inédit de voir un tel comportement…

Une explication peut en être déduite grâce au informations du Wall Street Journal. Selon ce dernier, les 4 bâtiments déployés par la Chine dans le cadre de RIMPAC ne sont pas conviés à tous les exercices prévus pour la simple et bonne raison que ces derniers pourraient leur permettre d’avoir accès à quelques secrets militaires des autres participants, à commencer par ceux de l’US Navy, de la Royal Australian Navy et de la marine japonaise.

Pour le moment, le Beijixing navigue près du groupe aéronaval formé autour du porte-avions USS Ronald Reagan. Et il est même possible qu’un sous-marin chinois soit également dans les parages. « Les forces navales américaines surveillent en permanence toute l’activité maritime dans le Pacifique et nous nous attendons à ce que ce navire reste en dehors des eaux territoriales des États-Unis et qu’il ne perturbe pas l’exercice Rim of the Pacific », a commenté, le 18 juillet, un porte-parole de l’US Navy. « Nous avons pris toutes les précautions nécessaires pour protéger les informations importantes », a-t-il ajouté.

« L’opération du navire de l’Armée populaire de libération à l’extérieur des eaux territoriales est en conformité avec le droit international et la pratique internationale », a fait valoir le ministère chinois de la Défense dans un communiqué.

Cependant, si l’US Navy semble ne pas vouloir donner une importance démesurée à la présence de ce navire espion, il n’en va pas de même pour certains élus américains, à commencer par le représentant Randy Forbes, le président du sous-comité des forces maritime et de projection.

« Maintenant, nous apprenons qu’ils [les Chinois] ont choisi de ne pas respecter les 20 autres participants [à RIMPAC] en envoyant un navire de collecte de renseignement directement au milieu de l’exercice. Il est clair que la Chine n’est pas prête à être un partenaire  responsable et que sa première participation à RIMPAC devrait probablement être la dernière », a-t-il affirmé.

Le Beijixing est l’un des trois navires de renseignement de la classe Dongdiao mis en oeuvre par la marine chinoise. D’un déplacement de 6.000 tonnes pour 130 mètres de long, il est doté de deux moteurs diesel SEMT Pielstick et peut naviguer à une vitesse maximale de 20 noeuds. Armé d’un canon de 37 mm et d’un bitube de 14,5 mm, il dipose de 3 radômes où sont logés les équipements d’interception de signaux électroniques.

L’exercice RIMPAC 2014 mobilise 25.000 marins, 200 avions et, surtout, 53 navires dont 6 sous-marins. La Marine nationale y est représentée avec, comme il y a deux ans, la frégate de surveillance Prairial (et son hélicoptère Alouette III).

PLA may deploy 10,000-tonne destroyers in future: military expert


China is planning to build a total of 12 Type 052D guided-missile destroyers, but it will eventually have the capability to construct larger destroyers with displacement of over 10,000 tonnes, said Fang Bing, a military expert, in an interview with the state-owned Beijing Television on Aug. 12.
Fang said Type 052D destroyers are likely to play a very important role in the People's Liberation Army Navy for a period of time. Known as the Chinese Aegis, Fang said that the Type 052D destroyer is currently the most powerful warship China has constructed. He said that the primary mission of Type 052D destroyers, equipped with active phased array radar and a vertical launching system, is to serve as the core of China's carrier battle group.
Fang said the Type 052D is still a very small vessel however when compared to the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer of the US Navy and Kongo-class destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. To increase the amount of ammunition its ship can carry, Fang said that China will eventually develop its own 10,000-tonne destroyer in the future. As China gains more experience in operating Type 052D destroyers, the PLA Navy will commission larger warships, he said.

PLA's JL-2 SLBM set to enter service in near future




The JL-2, China's second-generation submarine-launched ballistic missile, is set to enter service. China may develop its next generation with a range of at least 12,000 km in order to reach North America from the South China Sea, reports our Chinese-language sister paper Want Daily.
The PLA Navy's nuclear-powered Type 094 submarine was spotted patrolling with the missile, which has a range of around 8,000 km and can carry multiple warheads, at the beginning of this year. The Chinese military ended its decade-long research, development and trials for the missile at the end of 2012 and has been preparing to introduce it to its arsenal. State broadcaster CCTV recently aired a documentary on the missile's development process with video clips of its firing tests.
Photos posted by military enthusiasts show three Type 094 submarines, capable of launching the JL-2, in Sanya, Hainan province. A fourth of the class of submarine is said to be under construction.
The missile's range still falls short of China's ideal target range however since the Type 094 submarines need a missile with a range over 12,000 km to strike North America from South China Sea. The Trident missiles that US Navy launched from submarines in June this year have a maximum range of 11,000 km and can carry 11 warheads.

China considers buying four Russian Amur-Class AIP submarines


China reportedly signed two military sale frameworks with Moscow, of which Russia will jointly build four Amur-Class AIP submarines with China and sell them to the country while China will buy 24 Su-35 fighters from Russia, reports Sina's military news portal.
It is the first major military procurement China has made with Russia in 10 years, said the report. China needs submarines to counter threats from India's fleet and build a fleet to resist America's influence, said the Voice of Russia, the Russian government's international radio broadcasting service. A manager for a Russian national defense export company said Moscow and Beijing have been negotiating over submarine technologies. China has not revealed how many submarines it wants to buy and has not scheduled to sign a supply contract.
It is natural for India and China to show interest in Russia's Amur-Class submarines, said a retired Russian Navy general named Sivkov. The submarine is superior to the export version of China's 877 submarine and China would want the Amur-Class vessel since India has them. The Russian submarine can also effectively fight against American submarines and destroy Los Angeles and Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines from long distances. Since it produces little noise underwater, American submarines cannot detect the its presence. The characteristic allow the submarine to make fire warning shots or destroy enemy ships effectively during real battles.
Although the Amur-Class submarine can attack multiple targets on land, it cannot carry an anti-guided missile system. China does not own any submarine-based anti-missile systems as of now.
India's defense ministry made emergency orders over concerns of the country's declining defense capabilities. India has skipped the bidding process and ordered two diesel-electric Amur-Class submarines 677 from Russia to enhance its sea combat capabilities.
Currently China owns 60-plus submarines while India has 14 with a leased Russian-made nuclear-powered submarine Nerpa since 2012. The vessel is superior to Chinese submarines since it produces far less noise, said Russian experts. He believes China will not wage a war against India now even though the Chinese fleet has greater combat power than India's. China considers its fleet as a force against America and does not feel threatened by India.

China unveils ASW version of Z-18 helicopter




A new anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is undergoing trials and testing, according to news reports and Chinese military websites.
The aircraft, believed to be designated Z-18F, has been developed from the Changhe Aircraft Industry Group (CAIG) Z-8, itself a derivative of the long-serving French SA-321 Super Frelon.
Images show that the Z-18 features a redesigned cockpit and modified hull form, while previous company statements suggest extensive use of composites and titanium in its construction. The reports also state that it is fitted with a new type of engine and composite main rotor blades.
These modifications appear to be in line with the Avicopter AC313 commercial design (originally designated Z-8F-100) that first flew from CAIG's Jingdezhen production facility in 2010. The AC313 is powered by three Pratt & Whitney (P&W) PT6B-67A engines, giving it a max speed around 180 kt, an operating range of 485 n miles, and an internal load capacity of 4 tonnes.
However, the Z-18 military variants are highly unlikely to have P&W engines in view of the fines imposed on P&W for supplying engines and control systems that were subsequently installed in the WZ-10 attack helicopter. Instead it is probable that the Z-18 is fitted with a development of the WZ-6 derivative of the Turbomeca Turmo 3C that powers the Z-8. AVIC (Engines) and Turbomeca (Safran) are jointly developing the Ardiden 3C/WZ16 engine that will power the medium-lift AC352/Z-15 derivative of the EC175.
The Z-18F ASW variant is equipped with a dipping sonar and reports suggest that it can carry up to 32 sonobuoys and 4 lightweight torpedoes such as the Yu-7. It has a prominent chin-mounted surface search radar and it is probable that the aircraft is fitted with a datalink like the Ka-28s in service with the PLA Navy, enabling it to operate in third-party targeting mode for long-range anti-ship cruise missiles launched from frigate or destroyer escorts.
COMMENT
None of the current PLAN destroyers or frigates will be able to support the 13.8-tonne maximum take-off weight of the Z-18, so in the near term it will be limited to operating at sea from the carrier Liaoning and the three Type 071 amphibious landing platform docks. The anticipated construction of Type 081 landing platform helicopter ships and Type 055 destroyers would increase the number of platforms that are capable of embarking the aircraft.
The Z-18F is the third variant to emerge, alongside a utility/VIP transport version and an airborne early warning (AEW) platform, possibly with the designation Z-18J. Mock-ups and prototypes of the AEW version, which has a radar antenna fitted in place of the loading ramp that is lowered for operation when the helicopter is airborne, have been photographed on Liaoning 's flight deck.
As with the Shenyang J-15 carrier strike aircraft, which features a shark emblem, the Z-18s appear to be marked with squadron-type emblems: the AEW variant is marked with a flying bat and the ASW aircraft with a swooping eagle. Commentators have suggested that both will be embarked on Liaoning in due course, with speculation that the carrier's air wing will include four AEW and four ASW helicopters, significantly enhancing its self-protection.
IHS Jane's recently reported that China also needs to deploy fixed-wing airborne early warning and control aircraft. Deploying a PLAN equivalent of the US' Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye, perhaps derived from existing land-based aircraft, therefore represents a minimum requirement, although this would also require a carrier fitted with a catapult launching system.

Un avion de chasse chinois frôle un avion militaire américain



Le pilote chinois a effectué un "tonneau" au-dessus de l'appareil américain, puis, arrivé perpendiculairement à l'avion, il a "exhibé ses armes".
Un chasseur chinois a "dangereusement" frôlé par trois fois un avion militaire américain mardi dans l'espace aérien international à l'est de la Chine, a annoncé le Pentagone vendredi. Le chasseur chinois, qui était armé, s'est approché à moins de 10 mètres de l'avion américain, un P8-Poseidon de surveillance maritime qui effectuait une mission de routine, a déclaré le contre-amiral John Kirby, porte-parole du Pentagone. Le pilote chinois a effectué un "tonneau" au-dessus de l'appareil américain et à un autre moment il est arrivé perpendiculairement au Poseidon et a "exhibé ses armes".
L'incident, qui se produit à un moment de tensions entre la Chine et ses voisins, s'est déroulé à environ 220 kilomètres à l'est de l'île chinoise de Hainan. "Nous avons fait part de notre profonde inquiétude aux Chinois quant à cette manoeuvre hasardeuse et peu professionnelle", a souligné le porte-parole du Pentagone. Il a dit ne pas avoir connaissance d'un quelconque échange radio entre les pilotes des deux appareils. En avril 2001, dans la même zone, une collision entre un avion EP-3 de la marine américaine et un avion d'interception chinois avait causé la mort d'un pilote chinois et forcé l'appareil américain à atterrir d'urgence sur l'île de Hainan. L'équipage américain avait été détenu et interrogé par les Chinois. L'accident avait provoqué à une crise diplomatique entre Pékin et Washington.

Pékin va envoyer 700 soldats au Soudan du Sud

La Chine a accepté d’envoyer environ 700 soldats au Soudan du Sud dans le cadre de la mission de maintien de la paix des Nations Unies (MINUSS), a annoncé le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Barnaba Marial Benjamin.

« Nous serons heureux de recevoir les 700 soldats de la République populaire de Chine dans le cadre de la MINUSS », s’est félicité M. Benjamin.

« Pour la première fois de son histoire la Chine enverra 700 soldats dans le cadre de la MINUSS pour s’engager dans le renforcement de la paix dans notre pays, la protection des civils, ainsi que la protection des infrastructures importantes et améliorer le processus de paix, » a –t-il ajouté.

Un accord économique et technique a été signé entre les deux pays, cependant aucune date n’a encore été retenue pour le déploiement des troupes chinoises.

La Chine qui est un investisseur majeur dans l’exploitation du pétrole sud-soudanais, est désireuse de protéger ses intérêts dans le pays.

En Juin, la Chine a suscité une condamnation internationale pour avoir fourni à Juba des armes et des munitions d’une valeur de plusieurs millions de dollars.

Le Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies a approuvé un déploiement additionnel de 5, 500 casques bleus au Soudan du Sud en décembre de l’année dernière suite à l’éclatement de violents conflits dans le pays.

Une vidéo de la force aérienne de la République de Chine utilise des séquences d'un jeu vidéo
 
8 Septembre 2014  

La Force Aérienne de la République de Chine a récemment publié une nouvelle vidéo de plus de six minutes, à des fins de recrutement, où l'on peut y voir des évolutions des avions de chasse chinois lors de nombreux combats aériens.

La vidéo, qui, au début, raconte qu'un enfant chinois voulait devenir pilote de chasse, se concentre par la suite sur une attaque dont serait victime la Chine. Avions de combat Chengdu J-10, Shenyang J-11, avions de transport, et de commandement aéroporté (Awacs) décollent afin de détruire l'offensive. Si sur la grande majorité de la vidéo les séquences utilisées, filmées depuis le sol ou directement depuis le cockpit, sont réelles, d'autres le sont beaucoup moins...

En effet, à plusieurs reprises (dix scènes comptabilisées : 2:45 ; 2:57 ; 3:00 ; 3:04 ; 3:10 ; 3:14 ; 3:28 ; 3:52 ; 4:11), les concepteurs de la vidéo ont utilisé des séquences des jeux vidéos de la série Ace Combat, produits par Namco.



La capture d'écran ci-dessus représente, dans le jeu vidéo, le cockpit d'un F-5 Tiger II, utilisé au début du jeu, lors des premières missions. Il est évident que l'image est fausse, puisque les données visibles sur l'écran ne sont en aucun cas réelles : "Score", qui augmente avec le nombre d'appareils abattus - "time", temps restant pour mener à bien sa mission - "Gun", canon illimité - "missile", au nombre de 35..., etc.

Par la suite, et notamment, à 3:05 et à 3:10, la vidéo représente le cockpit d'un F-22 Raptor, issu de la même série, mais sorti en 2013, avec des graphismes grandement améliorés. Le missile tiré depuis le Sukhoï atteint le F-22 du personnage principal du jeu qui doit alors s'éjecter.

China Has A New High-Tech Missile That Can Reach A Major US Base In Guam

National Security Advisor Susan Rice is in China this week, discussing recent sticking-points in trans-Pacific relations with her counterparts in Beijing, chief among them a mid-August confrontation between a U.S. surveillance plane and a Chinese fighter jet over the South China Sea.



There's a lot for U.S. and Chinese security officials to talk through, from problematic Chinese territorial claims to alleged state-backed hacking of American government computer systems. One item that could be on the menu for the talks has to do with a newly-confirmed Chinese missile technology that could target American assets.

Back in March, Chinese officials confirmed the existence of the DF-26c, a road-mobile mid-range ballistic missile that can fire at targets of up to 3,500 kilometers with greater precision than any other comparable Chinese-made system. As an analysis on the military affairs website Strategy Page noted on September 8th, that puts U.S. bases in Guam within range of one of China's most advanced weapons.

Strategy Page's analysis doesn't conclude there are Chinese DF-26c batteries aimed at U.S. assets — it specifically notes China, like most countries, doesn't reveal who it's targeting with its ballistic missiles at any given time. However, the DF-26c has certain advantages over the rest of the Chinese arsenal. It's truck-mounted, and runs off of efficient, easily-stored, and relatively non-volatile solid-state rocket fuel. The DF-26c can be fueled quickly and covertly — in a way that wouldn't tip off western intelligence agencies as quickly or as obviously as launch preparations for other, earlier Chinese ballistic missiles.

Strategy Page also notes much of China's longer-range arsenal has various problems with age, maintenance, or general reliability. The DF-26C has apparently been in service for several years prior to official confirmation of its existence, and it represents a general improvement over its predecessors.

Most importantly, the entire DF-26 series can strike beyond the "second island chain," a Chinese phrase for the islands on the outer edge of the disputed South China Sea, like the Japanese-claimed Senkaku, or even the Philippines. As this last 2013 video from China's Hubei Television demonstrates, that range includes Guam as well:




Of course, there's no indication China has any intention of unleashing a rocket barrage at one of the most important U.S. Naval bases in the Pacific. But high-tech mid-range weapons like the DF-26c are part of a Chinese defense strategy aimed at modernizing its ballistic arsenal while deterring overly aggressive U.S. moves in its backyard, an approach explained in a 2013 Congressional Research Service Report.

Like the near-collision over the South China Sea, the DF-26c is a reminder of the complications of the U.S.'s ongoing pivot to Asia. The U.S. is focusing military and diplomatic assets on what policymakers believe will become the most important region in the world — while leaving itself open to frequent and potentially hazardous confrontation with the world's rising superpower in the process.

pourquoi ça Gemini

un pilote de chasse faut qu'il bouge et qu'il bouge au combat ,or c'est loin d'etre le cas avec les pilotes chinois ,cantonné (hi hi dsl....) a leur pays cela ne sert a rien . Il faut sentir la poudre (au combat) faire des tas d'exercice avec d'autres pays ,exercices au demeurant le plus fidele possible a une guerre si c'est pour voler en ligne droite balancer 2 ou 3 bombes faire bouger un ensemble (ravitailleur,chasse bombardement ,rescue....) pour que tous le monde s'entrainent a ces différentes procedure et que ensemble ils harmonise cela.
je ne dis pas que c'est des bréles mais c'est pas encore de bon pilotes cela n'engage que moi.
La preuve et la perte de 2 j11 et leur pilotes sur leur porte avions.

Pour tant que je respecte tes points de vue Gémini, mais des fois je te trouve incroyablement superficiel dans ceux ci.
Juger toute une armée sur la base d'un crash Aéronaval dont on ignore tout des circonstances et sur un porte avion qui est le premier pour cette armée (donc encore du temps avant de parler d'une parfaite prise en main et maitrise de l'art de l’aéronavale).

Ceci dit, l'armée chinoise est une armée très discrète, surtout quand il s'agit de leur composante aérienne. Juger celle ci sur la qualité de ses entrainements en te basant sur de simple vidéo propagandiste (et qui dit propagande ne dit pas forcément l'excellence accrue), qui est adaptée à l'idéologie et le niveau du chinois lambda, est un peu abusé tout de même. Mais ça n'engage que moi
