China unveils FB-10A short-range air defense missile system

The previous version, the FB-10 was unveiled in 2016 during the Zhuhai Airshow in China. The system was mounted on 6x6 truck chassis with a phased array radar, optical sensor and eight missile tubes. The FB missile is able to engage air targets at a maximum range of 10 km and an altitude from 15 to 5,000 m.

The launcher vehicle of the FB-10A is based on a light tactical vehicle Dongfeng Mengshi 6x6 chassis with a crew cabin at the front with two doors on each side, while the missile launcher is mounted on a flat bed cargo area at the rear of the vehicle.

The weapon station consists of two pods of four ready-to-fire missile containers with one surface-to-air missile using infrared imaging technology. According to Chinese military sources, the technical specifications of the FB-10A missile is equivalent to the Hongqi-10 surface-to-air missile system which uses an advanced rolling projectile and an infrared/radar "dual-mode" composite guidance system, which can intercept anti-ship missiles at four times the speed of sound.

The missile of the FB-10A is cheaper than the Hongqi-10 missile and it has a maximum firing range of 10 km.

China Aerospace Long-March International Co., Ltd (ALIT), the core subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), is a leading state-owned enterprise authorized by the Chinese government for export and import of aerospace-related weapons systems, products, and technologies.

Chine: l'armée populaire reçoit ses nouveaux treillis de type 21



Lors du point presse du 30 décembre, le colonel Tan Kefei, un des porte-paroles du ministère chinois de la Défense (MND), a confirmé que toutes les unités de l'APL sont désormais équipés du treillis de type 21. Il en existe deux versions, l'une pour l'été et l'autre pour l'hiver. Les camouflages diffèrent aussi selon les armées.

Pas d'autres détails, sur les tissus par exemple, l'état-major chinois étant resté très vague sur les caractéristiques de ces treillis. Lire ici un article sur ces nouvelles tenues.

Ce type de tenue remplace les treillis de type 19 pourtant distribués en... 2019. Le type 19 avait lui-même remplacé le type 07 avec son motif pixelisé.

PLA amphib exercises. CCTV7, Junshi Baodao, 2Jan. As I noted in my recent Insider piece, a Chinese lunge across the Taiwan Strait would involve a very wide variety of vessels and light craft. I expect most of the armada would be comprised of civilian vessels. pic.twitter.com/zCyC0CscdQ

Zubr-class large-sized LCAC now in service with Chinese Navy -- an import from Ukraine. This pic was the cover photo for PLA Daily, 9 Jan.

Future looks bright for Chinese bomber force. Pics of H6K in CCTV7, Junshi Baodao,7Jan. Informally, I trace recent prioritization of this force to a 2015 visit by Xi Jinping to a PLAAF bomber base. Next generation PLA bombers will be an important factor in Asia-Pacific balance. pic.twitter.com/CvHK80wPZK
