China To Get Large-Scaled UAV(Drones) Development Industrial Base

China is developing a  large-scaled whole-chain unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) industrial development base in Beijing that will settle in southern Beijing's Daxing District, according to the top management of China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics (CAAA) under China Aerospace Sci & Tech Corporation.

The UAV development industrial base, which covers a total area of 134 ha, will be the first of its kind in China. The base will cluster flagship enterprises and regional S&T leaders in the sophisticated industry within three years. It will also develop a top-notch technological service system and explore new modes for commercial application so as to turn itself into a UAV tech and service hub with high value-added.

The industrial base's estimated output will reach 10 billion yuan (US$1.6 billion) by 2015, 30 billion yuan (US$4.8 billion) by 2020, and more than 100 billion yuan (US$16.1 billion) by 2025.

By then, the industrial base will integrate all links on the industrial chain, from S&T, manufacturing, test flights, marketing, after-sales services and commercial applications.

Beijing's Daxing District, a high-tech manufacturing industrial belt in the city, is expected to be the most important industrial cluster area in the future.

China Start Development OF Long-Range Stealth Bomber

Senior colonel Wu Guohui of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has confirmed  that China has started designing and development of a long-range stealth bomber with similar capabilities to the PAK-DA and B-2 of the United States Air Force.

When the PLAAF was founded in 1949, few resources were spent on the development of long-range bombers as Mao Zedong believed that ground forces were much more important for China to defeat foreign invaders. In the era of the Korean War and Taiwan Strait Crisis, the PLAAF was initially established as a tactical air force to support the army in combat against the United Nations forces and the Chinese Nationalist (Kuomintang) government. The modern PLAAF only began to take shape after Deng Xiaoping came to power in the late 1970s after Mao's death.

Wu said that a long-range stealth bomber is able to launch more than one missile during an aerial engagement because it cannot be detected by enemy radar, and that is why the US is willing to spend US$1.2 billion on 80 to 100 second-generation stealth bombers. Realizing that the United States is also developing a second-generation stealth bomber based on the B-2 stealth jet, Wu said that it is now time for China to seek a replacement for its Cold War-era H-6 strategic bomber.

Both the United States and Russia are developing new bombers and China will certainly have its stealth bomber too, Wu said. China's ambition to build a stealth bomber was first reported by John Reed, a US military analyst, in an article written for Foreign Policy magazine in June. Citing aircraft models displayed on the Chinese website, Reed stated that Beijing would usually demonstrate small-scale models before constructing the real aircraft.

China's DF-15C Ballistic Missile Can Carry Bunker Buster Bomb

China's DF-15C short-range ballistic missile, equipped with a deep-penetration warhead or  bunker buster bomb, would be able to damage or destroy underground command and  control facilities in Taiwan and other security partners of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, according to "The Weapon", a military weapons magazine operated by China North Industries Group Corporation, a state-run company that manufactures military vehicles.

Photos of the DF-15C were first revealed on Chinese internet in 2006. "The Weapon" reported that the DF-15C, with a warhead between 2-2.5 meters in length, has the largest warhead section compared to other missiles in the PLA's arsenal.

Like Vietnam and Iraq, the militaries of Taiwan, Japan and South Korea rely on underground structures to shield their primary command and control facilities, the report said. The DF-15C can be used by the Second Artillery Corps, the PLA's strategic missile detachment command, to take out enemy command and control centers in a potential conflict.

China To Develop Heavy-Duty Armed Attack Helicopters After WZ-10

The development of Chinese  armed  attack helicopters as represented by the WZ-10 and WZ-19 which continues to draw foreign attention. Du Wenlong, a  Chinese military expert, responded to media questions by saying that WZ-10 was only a starting point and that China would go on to develop heavy-duty armed attack helicopters. 

When asked where the development of Chinese armed helicopters stands currently, Du Wenlong said that China's WZ-10 and WZ-19 should be seen as a revolution in Chinese armed helicopters for special purposes. Although we have had armed helicopters in the past, they were for general service. For example, the WZ-9 could serve as a transport and an attack helicopter, and also as a platform for other air missions. However, since the WZ-9 was based on upgrading a general armed helicopter, it could not meet special demands in such areas as attack, protection and electronics. 

WZ-10 Attack Helicopter

Du Wenlong said that the WZ-10 displayed at the air show had impressed them very deeply. WZ-10 has a very narrow fuselage. Its reflective surface and therefore its vulnerability to attack would be relatively smaller. The probability of successfully hitting it with weaponry in a counter-attack would be relatively low. In addition, WZ-10 can carry a payload of 8 guided missiles. While the counter party’s ground targets might be rock solid against an infantry attack, they could not withstand a single blow from this armed helicopter.

China Has Upgraded J-11B with AESA radar (most likely the same AESA Radar seen on the J-15 and J-16).

China 's State Television(CCTV) Said: J-11B radar has 1760 T/R modules, has a search range of 450 km against 1 m^2 target and 250 km against a 0.1 m^2 target.
