Chi-Ku Qinnai Indian Strategic Research Center of China website 23 article said that China build a strategic air force had planned to buy 16-24 aircraft IL-78 tanker, but the introduction of four in 2002, after the project was suspended Gaixing Ji , the message said the project will soon be restarted. IL-78 and Su-27 tanker able to Su-30 fighter planes to reach capacity expanded to 3,000 km, which will enhance the current by the troops of the 250 F -10 F -11 fighter and combat radius.
Shift the focus of China's military modernization of information and high-tech war
The article said that China's military modernization, especially since the reform and opening up of China's military modernization has been the world's political, military, diplomatic, and think tanks to discuss. Since 2000, the Pentagon submitted to Congress annually a report on China's military power. According to the "Third Modernization of the Chinese army," said Wang Wenrong of the PLA modernization of the main body of soldiers, weapons and equipment, military doctrine and force structure.
According to Wang Wenrong said the first time the Chinese military modernization since the founding of the mid-80s began the end of the last century. In the first few years, China's military modernization is to support and under the influence of the Soviet Union launched. China under Mao Zedong conceptualize and implement "an early, big fight, a nuclear war," the guiding ideology, and to promote the people's war theory, and later gave up its 50 years of last century "one-sided" policy. "Cultural Revolution" to the Chinese economy, science and technology, industry and agriculture caused by a heavy blow. China's military modernization has suffered huge losses. However, in this case, China is still the field of missile technology has made tremendous progress, successfully conducted an underground nuclear test, and it's first satellite launch.
The second and third military modernization since the beginning of the last century and the mid-80s late 90s. Third Plenary Session of the CPC, the Chinese recognize that the world situation has undergone a fundamental change, peace and development have become major issues of concern to the Chinese Communists. "An early, big fight, a nuclear war" came back to the military strategy of "active defense" above, and later developed into the "win a modern high-tech competition for the next Council." Since the second half of 1985, the Chinese military began a large-scale restructuring and streamlining of the PLA. The end of 1987, when millions of Chinese about disarmament. Disarmament is the main focus of the headquarters and directly under the military. By 1990, when China had 3.19 million disarmament. At the same time, the PLA has also eliminated a large number of obsolete weapons and equipment, including nearly ten thousand artillery pieces, 1,100 tanks, 2,500 aircraft and 610 warships. 11 army into military also adjusted 7.
The article says the early 90s of last century, after the Gulf War, the Chinese recognize that the war machines of the industrial age of information warfare will be gradually replaced. China's military modernization focus should be shifted to information and high-tech war. At this stage, the basic factors of China's military modernization is its power projection outside of the Chinese border. This includes the PLA Navy will cause a blue-water navy to play, access to air refueling capability, build a rapid reaction force, improvement of nuclear arsenals and other targets. Therefore, the third time the Chinese military modernization is to build a strategic task to winning the information war, information technology units. To achieve this goal, the Central Military Commission, a three-step strategy. Described the case of the PLA National Defense University Professor Han Xudong ultimate goal of modernization: the Chinese army should fight local wars to the "global war" in the direction of change. He said that in order to achieve this goal, China must find a military alliance, the establishment of overseas bases, the use of military means to resolve the "problem", to participate in international military efforts to strengthen the PLA's combat capability.
China is using ground forces of modern tanks and artillery upgrades
The article said that the modernization of the PLA ground forces, mainly around the reduction and reorganization of personnel and equipment carried out in order to build a stronger small-scale mobility, combat power more troops. PLA Academy of Military Sciences in 2008, said after the reorganization of the PLA Navy, Air Force and Second Artillery Corps, the percentage increased by 3.8%, while the percentage of ground forces was reduced by 1.5%. In theory, the ground force of about 160 million, representing about 70% of the total strength of the PLA. However, the data also include administrators and support staff. Therefore, the PLA ground forces, the size of the actual combat forces may be much smaller, although service can be prepared by 80 million, 66 million and 10 million militia armed police force is rapidly increasing.
As for weapons development, until the 80s of last century, when the PLA is still the major development of conventional weapons and strategic nuclear weapons, China was the late 80s that China needs to catch up with developed countries the level of weapons and equipment, to bridge the existing gap. This means that China wants to develop other weapons such as anti-aircraft and anti-tank systems. The late 80s of last century, China developed a series of new air defense weapons and equipment, including small / light / portable shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, the red flag red flag -61 -7 and anti-aircraft missile system. China is the use of modern tanks, armored personnel carriers to upgrade the PLA ground forces and artillery. Since 2004, the PLA carried out on conventional equipment, information transformation. In 2007, China's first armored division main battle group information to complete a new equipment replacement task. According to military analysts, advanced digital tank fire control system and vehicle location system can attack rate by 90%. In the "North Sword -2007" military exercises, the division sent out hundreds of tanks, according to C4ISR integrated system of command, perform the task. According to the 2010 China Military Power Report said, the PLA ground forces are being acquired or developed new capabilities, including third-generation Type 99 main battle tanks, a new generation of amphibious assault vehicles, 200 mm / 300 mm / 400 mm multiple-launch rocket systems.
Chinese Air Force will restart the procurement of 16-24 aircraft IL-78 tanker project
The article said that the PLA Air Force has Airborne Division, surface to air missile divisions (brigades and regiments), antiaircraft artillery brigades (regiments), radar brigades (regiments) and other security forces. To weapons and equipment of the PLA Air Force currently has more than 700 around the modern fighters. In the Russian-made fighter planes, based on Chinese design and produce their "J" series and "F" series of fighters. According to the Chinese Central Military Commission, member of the PLA Air Force Commander General, said Xu Qiliang, 1963, the Chinese copy of the MiG -29 fighters, the successful production of a J-6 fighters, until August 2006 when this aircraft was only eliminated. According to the letter, J-6 fighters have been training for the implementation of information technology tasks. Later, China has developed J-8I, FT-7III and FT-7 trainer aircraft. Subsequently, he was also in the F-8 and F-8I, based on research and development of the J-8II aircraft. 90s of last century, China imported from Russia and Su Su -27 -30 fighters, in the spring of 1998 on the basis of these aircraft, the successful development of the J-10 and third-generation J-11 fighter aircraft. It sinodefense.com, Web site reported that China's current fighter inventory mainly from the third and fourth generation of fighters and bombers composition, including the 800-1000 J-7 and J-8II fighters, 76 Russian-made Su -27 fighter, 95 -116 J-11 fighter aircraft, 76 Russian-made Su-39MKK multi-mission aircraft, and 60 to 80 Chinese-made J-10 multi-mission aircraft.
The article says that in building a strategic air force, the Chinese tanker procurement IL-8. Before and after the new millennium, China plans to purchase 16-24 this tanker. However, in 2002, after the introduction of four such tanker, the procurement plan seems to be suspended. However, in the near future, the program may restart. IL-78 aerial refueling tanker could Su Su -27 and -30 extend the combat radius of 3,000 km. China's State of the aircraft, such as J-10 and J-11, has also been fitted out in force, and their number at about 250 or so. PLA Air Force currently maintains about 550 transport aircraft, of which more than half of single transports.
PLA Navy will soon be fitted out in JH-7A fighter
PLA Navy has 225,000 troops, these forces are divided into three fleets (North Sea Fleet, East Sea Fleet and South Sea Fleet), deployed in 10 major naval base (Port Arthur, Huludao, Qingdao, Shanghai, Zhoushan, Wenzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou , Zhanjiang and Yulin). Mainly from the North Sea Fleet submarine force structure, while the East China Sea Fleet and South Sea Fleet is the main battle force surface combatants and submarine and air defense ship.
The article points out, the PLA Navy modernization, especially since the 80s of last century has been driven by many factors, such as forcible reunification with Taiwan, China resumed sovereignty over the South China Sea, the growing need to protect the safety of Chinese sea lines of communication to ensure that the sea interests, especially energy interests, to project power worldwide in order to enhance China's leading role in world affairs. Currently, China has Asia's largest submarine fleet, including the 8-10 and 50-60 submarine diesel-electric submarines. The second generation of 093-class nuclear-powered attack submarines and 094 nuclear-powered missile submarine has been cut out loading of the PLA Navy. Old 033-type R-(Romeo) Type 035 Ming-class submarines and diesel submarines are being made Type 039 Song-class next-generation submarines and Russian-made Kilo-class submarines to replace. Introduced in 2005, the Pentagon report said China's military power, and those produced through outsourcing, China is an annual increase rate of three new submarines to expand its submarine fleet size, in the near future, it will have a composition of approximately 80 submarines submarine fleet. Furthermore, once the installation is completed out, China will have a real second nuclear strike capability.
The article said that China has increased its naval air force Su-30MKK 24 fighters, JH-7A will soon be fitted out. At present, the PLA Naval Air Force equipment, including J-7 and Q-5 form, the PLA Navy is difficult to project military power. PLA Navy plans to purchase 150 to 200 fighter-bombers. The end of 2007 the new amphibious ships fitted out may change the pattern of the PLA Navy operations. 071-style comparable to the U.S. Navy amphibious dock landing assault ship class in Austin (Austin class) amphibious dock landing ship. Although the power can be projected, but the PLA Navy still has only one such ship.
Moreover, the article said that China has realized that the aircraft carrier is the ultimate symbol of power projection. Since 2006, China has openly stated its intention to have carriers. March 20, 2009, Chinese Defense Minister Liang to visit China on Japan's defense minister, said no aircraft carriers, major powers, only China, China can not always be no aircraft carriers. China's economy in 2050 reached similar three-step development strategy, the PLA has also developed a similar strategy to the year 2050 itself into a global naval force. At present, the PLA Navy has been able to in the first island chain - from the north to Taiwan from Japan, south to the Philippines some of the islands - inland activities. In the second step, the PLA intends to go beyond the first island chain, reaching, including Guam, Indonesia and Australia, including the second island chain.
Information warfare in the face of the challenges posed by the joint military services in recent years, China has commenced a wide range of joint military exercises. For example, in 2001, the PLA ground forces, air force and navy conducted joint military exercises, and then is the "Peace Mission -2005", "Peace Mission -2006", "Peace Mission -2007" by the Jinan Military Region mechanized units in the " grind soldiers -2008 "military exercise" joint -2008 ", 2009, the Chengdu Military Region, large-scale air exercise from exercises across the -2009 Shenyang, Lanzhou, Jinan and Guangzhou Military Region of the four divisions of four nearly 50,000 soldiers in These military exercises aim is to strengthen the PLA's joint operations capability.
People's Liberation Army is building about 12 rapid-response divisions
With the development of the PLA modernization, China believes that as a powerful engine of growth for the world economy, China plays in international affairs must be an increasingly important role. The only goal of the PLA modernization is to project power around the globe to create a rapid reaction force, and winning the information war. Of particular note is that the PLA in recent years reduced from 33 to 100 infantry divisions and armored divisions. Moreover, its also quick response to build about 12 divisions, including an airborne division, four amphibious assault divisions and so on. Although the PLA modernization has been a significant improvement in its mechanization and informatization joint operations, but, given the current People's Liberation Army troops are faced with different levels of the bottleneck, so the army integration process and information technology, will be a long and slow process.
According to the former General Liu Huaqing, former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, said the process of modernization of the PLA faces many obstacles. For example, the Chinese military-owned equipment in the world, but because of insufficient investment, coupled with the substantial increase in prices of military products, and its large-scale introduction of the new design is difficult to produce weapons systems. People's Liberation Army Air Force fighter far behind world standards. Although a sufficient number of the PLA Navy surface ships, but such as ship-borne helicopters, tanker and other important equipment are still insufficient. Secondly, it will have far-reaching impact of future military technology in microelectronics and information processing technology is the main challenge facing China. Third, the defense R & D and produce high-tech weapons in the defense industry faces formidable difficulties. Finally, because the shortage of funds, so the PLA must be limited live-fire exercises, and the Air Force and Navy airborne troops were forced to shorten the training time. Most funds are used to train militants. Liu will be said that the current PLA modernization is not in line with China great power status, to achieve military modernization, China still has a long way to go.
