April 27 morning, Russia launched from the Plesetsk launch site, a “Universe” series military satellite.
Russian News Agency reported, 5:05 pm Moscow time from the “cosmic-3M” carrier rocket launch, launch does not appear abnormal. Satellite and launch vehicle separation is expected to 6:08 into the ground monitoring system can not monitor the area.
Russia said the purpose of this launch is on track to increase the number of Russian military spacecraft. Last Cosmos series military satellite launch was in April 16, 2010. But that is
“Union-U” carrier rocket for the launch.
Data for: Kawasaki Kisen under the overseas subsidiaries of a Panamanian “ISUZUGAWA” oil tanker
According to Kyodo, the Japanese Ministry of Land, message, attached to the overseas subsidiary of Kawasaki Kisen’s a Panamanian-registered tanker “ISUZUGAWA” (a displacement of 159,929 tons) 25 suspected pirate ship in the Arabian Sea, the boat was pursued and shot, shot in a deck. It is reported that 27 crew members were no casualties, the normal navigation. Ship is not Japanese.
According to Japan and Kawasaki Kisen cross provincial company said the tanker at 11:15 on the 25th sailed around Japan attacked in the Persian Gulf. Tankers were two boats in pursuit of the curve after the speed and navigation, in about 1 hour later and the boat pulled away enough to escape danger.
Retired Major General General Staff officials said Xu Guangyu of China’s military expenditure continued to grow, but still very low per capita basis.
With the sustained and rapid economic development, changes in China’s military strength has always been the focus of international media attention. April 22, National Public Radio (NPR) broadcast of the radio correspondents sent back reports on China’s military power.
US-Japan military spending far less per capita
National Public Radio reported that China’s ambitious to be completed in the middle of this century’s military modernization. The key step in achieving this plan is to reduce the world’s largest army, while strengthening the Air Force and Navy. In order to demonstrate transparency, China in mid-April opening to foreign military attaches and reporters located in Tianjin Yangcun Air Force Base.
People have the opportunity to see the People’s Liberation Army Air Force flight training the 24th Division, drove pilots flew F -10 reviewing stand, and then landing on the runway. This is the self-developed multi-purpose fighter, the performance can be US-made F-16 with comparable. Chinese Air Force and Navy from the past 20 years to double-digit growth in defense spending to benefit the update equipment than the Army to spend to much away from the budget more and more share.
People’s Liberation Army General Staff, Major General Xu Guangyu retired senior official in an interview that China should build its own air force and navy, the army should be to reduce the total number of soldiers who used the average of each expenditure is required from the current 30 thousand U.S. dollars to 100,000 U.S. dollars . Japan’s 20 million, the United States is 40 million. “Assuming our defense spending increase of 8% annually, while the total number of troops reduced from 2.3 million to 150 million by 2019 we will achieve that goal.”
Xu Guangyu stressed that China’s military expenditure continued to grow, but still very low per capita basis. As the Chinese government said: Although China is the world’s third largest economy, but the per capita measure, the Chinese people are still poor.
Defend the border to defend the coast from
This year, China’s defense spending will be single-digit growth, with GDP growth of roughly the same. Xu Guangyu explained that this change is partly due to the global financial crisis. NPR he said that the current composition of China’s armed forces are generally: 60% of the Army, Navy, 20%, 20% of the Air Force, Army, the future is expected to reach 50%, 25% of the Navy and Air Force target of 25%.
Accordingly reported that the Air Force and the Navy’s reliance on the “historical trend.” In the past period of time, China has to shift attention away from the border to defend the coastline to defend, as senior vice president of the United States Institute of Asian Studies Rojka door Pherson analyzed, “With the Soviet Union, China faced the north and west greatly reduced the threat. In order to meet the growth in export-oriented economy, China needs to become more of a maritime nation. “
Carmen Pherson said that currently China’s overseas bases and offshore supplies put many, there is no ability to deploy forces around the world. “In this case, the Chinese Air Force’s force could Dadao How far? Perhaps, than the number of local far.” In his view, the reason why some people exclaim China Jundui in global affairs play an increasingly important role and it is because it has been able to support a number of international affairs, for example, pirate-infested Gulf of Aden to escort merchant ships to their own.
Taiwan’s “Han Kuang 26″ exercise on 29 farms in Pingtung Cosmos anti-airborne exercise.
According to “News Agency” report, Taiwan’s “Han Kuang 26″ exercise in the morning of 29 farms in Pingtung Cosmos anti-airborne exercise, paratroopers twins Lu Jin Lu Jin storage medium and a focus of media attention, the two brothers said, because even in the same service, Executive times will criticize the wrong object, the two are quietly bearing for each other.
“Han Kuang 26″ exercise, the exercise come to an end in Pingtung, Taiwan’s military requirements should be the media describes paratroopers mounted display, but also take the initiative to launch twin paratroopers Lu brothers, let the “Han Kuang” exercise to add some fun.
Lu 23-year-old brother is Taiwu Township, Pingtung County, Paiwan, the two were born only a thin 4 minutes, were ranked the second oldest and the youngest at home, and down there a Ming Gege and brother.
Lu brothers and feeling good, from primary through high school are reading the same school, high school reading the livelihood of Pingtung City School of Home Economics, Gege Lv Kai-time data processing Golden Section, his younger brother Jin Lu read food and beverage stores, two often act together, there is nothing discuss amongst themselves.
Carefully to see two brothers, in fact, can still recognize it, but Executive has often unrecognizable, and sometimes make mistakes is the brother scolded his brother has become a scapegoat, instead of the other two brothers were telling me, do not argue to clarify all is silently bear for each other. Lu Jin Kai said, his brother Lu Jin positions instead of after he was Executive scolded, and sometimes will not tell him.
Navy’s new nuclear attack submarine equipment
Navy’s latest diesel-electric submarines, 039 Song change
The Heritage Foundation published the official website of the Foundation Fellows 22 article, said Dean Cheng, China is implementing a variety of means to weaken the U.S. ability to act in China around the project. In these “anti-intervention” project, the most compelling medium-range ballistic missiles is to wind -21/CSS-5-based anti-ship ballistic missile programs. The system’s range of over 1000 km, to target U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups at sea. In addition to anti-ship ballistic missile programs, China also launched a land attack and anti-ship cruise missile project, can the U.S. bases and naval assets at risk.
Moreover, China is also deployed at least 2 new levels of diesel-electric submarines and a new class nuclear attack submarine models. These are very quiet submarines will further complicate the efforts of the U.S. Navy’s assistance to Taiwan. In addition, China also deployed a large number of advanced missile systems, which deploy from the domestic manufacturers, some purchased from Russia. These air missiles can effectively thwart air attacks launched by non-stealth fighters, or even invisible platform can cope with.
Dean Cheng pointed out that China’s investment and reform, not just focus on weapons. China is raising its C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) capabilities. For example, China National Day parade in 2009, during the demonstration of a long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Dean Cheng noted that advanced C4ISR systems, coupled with new-horizon radar and space-based sensors, the Chinese military can be detected within a certain distance from the U.S. military presence.
Cheng Bin, said the United States in Iraq, Serbia and the success of military operations in Afghanistan, so that China plans to draw down the U.S. troops were near the goal is the best way to defeat the United States. For the People’s Liberation Army, if the U.S. naval and air forces try to close to China, then the remote sensor, advanced ground-radar, a combination of submarine and anti-ship missile is expected to hit the U.S.. In the ideal case, these weapons systems can even produce enough to prevent the U.S. military launched offensive operations, the strategy is consistent with Art of War “is not fighting the enemy” doctrine.
He said that China’s advanced military threat against the United States is unclear, because many of them have not experienced combat weapons system – since 1979, the Chinese armed forces have not participated in any war. Unfortunately, the U.S. commander not only need to deal with the Chinese weapons need to be cut in the domestic military project to prepare operational plans under the circumstances. For example, the closure of F-22 fighter production line, it means that the U.S. military order to break through China’s air defense system strengthened, it needs to rely more on stealth poor performance of F-35 fighters. Similarly, anti-missile system, delays in R & D funding in place, it will be the U.S. aircraft carriers and land bases Yu Zhongguo under the threat of medium-range missiles.
Cheng Bin, said the development of anti-satellite capability in China, when – as in January 2007 were tested anti-satellite capabilities – the U.S. space capabilities are facing budgetary constraints. In the past decade, many American satellite program has been canceled, including the Transformational Satellite Communications System and the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System. Despite the cancellation of each project may have its reasons, but it does weaken the overall impact of the war by U.S. forces rely on remote air superiority.
The United States in addition to potential adversaries will catch up – if not beyond words – the United States in science and technology, will enable the United States faces other heavy conventional forces. Once a chemical or biological weapons attack, and the enemy was found to comply with “the NPT”, then the United States can only respond with conventional forces. Such a policy is essentially a potential enemy to allow the U.S. to use chemical and biological weapons, because they know America will not fierce counterattack. Moreover, opponents launched such attacks may also have a strong conventional capability. In fact, they may even be from China, Russia or other advanced arms supplier to buy the necessary weapons systems. However, the U.S. government and Congress have made it clear that not a corresponding increase in defense spending to help the U.S. conventional forces to meet the new requirements.
To make matters worse, the response to this threat, it will lead to potential conflict involved in incidents such as the Taiwan Strait and other forces of decline. The United States not only lack of funds when faced with China’s increasing ability of the anti-intervention, in response to other potential intruders to provide the necessary deterrence, we will also face increasing China’s anti-intervention capability.
Dean Cheng said that in this case, the U.S. Government should support the C4ISR investment. Not depend on the number of U.S. military always win. The goal is “smart war”, which in turn requires sustained investment in C4ISR in the field – its certainly a lot of money invested. This includes not only updating and upgrading of existing space capabilities, including unmanned aerial vehicles and electronic warfare project.
Second, the United States should ensure that the U.S. deterrent against enemies. Even those who threaten the United States hostile adversaries know that no matter what kind of combat mode, or choose to be kind of capability, U.S. adversaries have only failed one way. This in turn requires both current and future Department of Defense with a strong ability to prepare comprehensive.
Third, the maintenance of response to high-intensity conflicts. Army soldiers and Marines in the members of the fourth or even fifth rotation to Afghanistan and Iraq, where the implementation of services providing them with the support of as much as possible is very important. At the same time, to ensure the security of the United States and its allies, the U.S. must have a participation in the capacity of high-intensity conflict operations in order to deter its adversaries. This means that relevant departments should provide the necessary funding for the military and training resources to ensure that they are able to skillfully deal with attacks such as war, anti-submarine warfare and armored warfare operations and other professional fields.
