China Military News & Updates

[Galaxy]

China is ruled by an authoritarian government. Such government cannot afford to lose the war in front of public. It will create another shame of century. Preparation is always there for them.

Inspite of tracking Chinese preparation, We should better improve our defence and diplomatic capability on fast track.

Tibet simmer with Tibet exile government? What are you smoking, kid?

By the time your force came, PLA left because of boredom. Not their problem if you were so slow. It was not chess, not gonna wait for you for ever.

If you are so tough, why not get it back? They are still in Chinas hands. Anyway i am not interest in what happend decades ago. Have fun playing internet warrior, kid, obviously it is all you can do.

So PLA left because they get bored? That's such a lame excuse from you because Indian Air Force Attack was in consideration and Chinese knew their airpower would be no match and their rejoice of a pathetic 1:8 win(10,000 Indian soldiers and 80,000 PLA) would be turned into a shameful retreat.
PLA had a shameful retreat in 1967 and 1987 again as they were bored again? Seems like CCP creates war out of boredom all the time which is a serious issue for world community.So Mr Internet Warrior you seems to be extremely tough guy so why don't you come and take back AP? We are not so ill-prepared and outnumbered like before

Even if they lose the war they would tell their people that they won and ban any neutral source reaching in the hands of common man.

ROFL.

May be if they lose, They can surely do that. Even CPC Government can collapse. But They will try their level best. They won't leave any stone unturned to win war even if they have to use some brutal and unethical tactics.

No, because all rats, crows and lizards of the jungle on which poor hungry PLA soldiers were left to feed themselves got exhuasted. There was nothing left to eat for them. Hence, Mao's Army had no choice but to run off. The story goes that even mules were not spred by the orphaned PLA soldiers.

That is the local and actual history of the lizard eaters. I did not believe it unless some old folks in Tawang told me.

 

[Bhadra]

In China they are revisionist Maoists and there are No Communists there. There are Han warlords in Maoist party who rule the country.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Nothing new, they were preparing for long time..

 

[Ray]

As per Chinese dictionary this means to threaten world peace .

If you mean safeguard world peace, then it means in Chinese - My Way or the Highway!

But not to worry, they are BBC.

Bluff and Bluster Country!

Theres are many things China could do short of sinking an indian ship. I have trouble imagine that China will do that without provocations. So far, this has never happend. So why should China do it now? Remember this conflict has been going on for decades. So far it has not been enforced by PLAN. It may never be a confrontation for all we know.

Aside from some sensational media coverage, I am pretty sure CCP has always played down the military capacity. Not sure where the bravado come from. Maybe you are reading too much into what the media says, and not what the chinese military actually says.

Chinese military, no one can believe in them. In the year 1962 also they said the same thing but they attacked INDIA. We INDIANS will never believe two countries in the world and they are pakistan and China.

You don't read Global Times, do you? If you would have, maybe you wouldn't have been so naive!

CCP expresses through Global Times whatever they are too chickened out to say directly from their mouth!

1. No, I dont read it. I got better use of my time.
2. Is that any different than invite some "friendly" journalists to print your side of story?
Who are the intended audience of Global Times? Ask yourself that.

Type 056 ASW OPV

Being built at two shipyards simultaneously, the 056 is expected to be pumped out in large numbers. Between this, the new ASW MPA's being mass produced and the Chinese version of SOSUS being deployed in and around the mainland, China seems to be seriously addressing Anti-Submarine-Warfare on a massive scale.

 

[indian_sukhoi]

What is the Displacement of Type 056!!!!

It seems it can carry only Z-9 helicopters and doesnt have any Hanger to support it.

I honestly don't think it needs a heli hanger. If it operates within the first island chain, using links with the onboard Z9, MPA's and the SOSUS system, it can clear large tracks ocean, freeing up the large escorts to operate further out from the mainland, escorting CV's and LPD's. And it probably wont operate any father out than the first island chain, seeing as the PLAN seem to prefer the type 054A for long duration missions.

Between 1500 and 2000 long tons. It may not have a hanger, instead it is said to have a hanger to house up to two small VTOL UAV's, such as these:

DEFENSE STUDIES: China Promoting New VTOL UAV

China Promoting New VTOL UAV

5 Februari 2010

Singapore - China is promoting exports of a new vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at the 2010 Singapore Airshow.

China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation (CATIC) provided brochures for the first time on the U8E VTOL UAV.

CATIC did not exhibit a model or the actual aircraft, but was more than willing to provide new data on a platform that has remained a mystery to many analysts.

The U8E is a light multi-role UAV with some impressive specifications:
- Maximum takeoff weight of 220 kg
- Maximum speed of 150km/hour
- Cruise speed of 120 km/h
- Ceiling of 3,500 m
- Range of 150 km
- Maximum Endurance of four hours
- Maximum Payload of 40 kg

"With EO [electro-optical] and multi-function payload, U8E can play a very important role both in civil and military operations. Using U8E is the best solution for surveillance operations and anti-terrorism action," said a CATIC press release.

The aircraft has a helicopter configuration with a wingspan of 3.86 meters, fuselage width of 1 meter, length at 3.738 meters and a height of 1.47 meters.

CATIC also showed off a model of ASN-209 tactical UAV system. The 209 is a medium altitude and medium endurance (MAME) multi-role fixed wing aircraft with systems that include a direct line-of-sight (LOS) data link, UAV airborne data relay used for beyond LOS missions and a ground-based data relay for beyond LOS missions. It can be fitted with a synthetic aperture radar, EO payload and multi-function payload.

The 209 mission capabilities include a 200 km range, 180 km/h maximum speed, 50 kg payload and a 5,000 meter operational ceiling. Configurations include ground moving target indication (GMTI), electronic intelligence, electronic warfare, ground target designation (GTD) and communications relay.

The Type 056's anti air armament is quite similar: From the models and official CG's we can see what looks to be Type 360 radar for air/surface search, as well as the HQ10 which is very similar to the American RAM.​

 

[Galaxy]

I think displacement is around 1600-2000 tons for Type 056.

 

[J20!]

The HQ10 system and the Type 360 radar is clearly visible on this model.

Seems like the PLAN is starting to take ASW seriously now.

An effective ASW function nowadays need towed sonar array then. Any idea this beatuty got it? despte what water depth it may has to handle. Appreciate someone teach me. Tks
[Supplemental] I noticed that ship tail now. Looks lik it does.

 

[Armand2REP]

It is based on the Pattani-class for the Royal Thai Navy. It ain't serious on ASW now. It don't have maneuvering thrusters for towed arrays and its dome is too small with the limited sonar technologies of PLAN to be effective.
