David John Alexander Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Modernization of People’s Liberation Army .: Classified :. On the 18th National Congress of Communist Party of China, the General Secretary Xi Jinping announced to accelerate the Modernization of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) which already began since Deng Xiapong-era. The military modernization program of the People's Liberation Army which began had several major focuses. First, modernization required the reform of military organization, doctrine, education and training, and personnel policies to improve combat effectiveness in combined-arms warfare. Among the organizational reforms that were undertaken were the creation of the state Central Military Commission, the streamlining and reduction of superfluous PLA forces, civilianization of many PLA units, reorganization of military regions, formation of group armies, and enactment of the new Military Service Law. Doctrine, strategy, and tactics were revised under the rubric of "people's war under modern conditions," which envisaged a forward defense at selected locations near China's borders, to prevent attack on Chinese cities and industrial sites, and emphasized operations using combined-arms tactics. Reforms in education and training emphasized improving the military skills and raising the education levels of officers and troops and conducting combined-arms operations. New personnel policies required upgrading the quality of PLA recruits and officer candidates, improving conditions of service, changing promotion practices to stress professional competence, and providing new uniforms and insignia. The second focus of military modernization was the transformation of the defense establishment into a system capable of independently maintaining a modern military force. As military expenditures remained relatively constant, reforms concentrated on reorganizing the defense research and development and industrial base to integrate civilian and military science and industry more closely. Foreign technology was used selectively to upgrade weapons. Defense industry reforms also resulted in China's entry into the international arms market and the increased production of civilian goods by defense industries. The scope of PLA economic activities was reduced, but the military continued to participate in infrastructure development projects and initiated a program to provide demobilized soldiers with skills useful in the civilian economy. The Central Military Commission is tasked to supervise the modernization of People’s Liberation Army. The Central Military Commission has began several projects such as: Project 055D The Type 055 Destroyer is a class of guided missile destroyers being constructed by indigenous efforts for the People's Liberation Army Navy. The multi-role destroyer is designed for air defense, anti-missile, anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare. The sea platform is expected to play an instrumental role in carrier strike formations, and the vessel is one of the first among surface combatants capable of land attack missions. The class features a stealth design, including small radar cross section, low noise, infrared and electromagnetic radiation. With advanced active phased array radar system and battle management system, the Type 055D destroyers will form the new chinese anti-missile system. The Type 055D vessels will replace all older version of destroyers in service with People's Liberation Army Navy.

This class of military hovercraft is the world’s largest, with a standard full load displacement of 555 tons. The hovercraft is designed to sealift amphibious assault units (such as marines and tanks) from equipped/non-equipped vessels to non-equipped shores, as well as transport and plant naval mines. There are seven Zubr-class hovercrafts in service with 97 pending construction. On this month, Minister of National Defense General Fang Wenhuan announced it was beginning production of the 97 Zubr-class crafts. The cost per unit is 24 Million Yuan (US$ 43.2 Millions). High strength and buoyancy of the craft is provided by a rectangular pontoon, the main load-carrying part of the ship's hull. Th e superstructure built on the pontoon is divided into three compartments with two longitudinal bulkheads: combat material compartment in the midsection fitted with tank ramps, and outboard sections housing main and auxiliary propulsion units, troop compartments, living quarters, and NBC protection systems. To improve working conditions in the battle stations, troop compartments and living quarters are fitted with air-conditioning and heating-systems, sound/heat-insulating coatings, and structures made of vibration damping materials. The ship provides normal conditions for the crew to make meals and rest. Personnel are protected against the effects of weapons of mass destruction by airtight sealing of combat stations, crew and troop compartments, augmented with individual gas masks and protection suits. The ship is also protected from magnetic influence mines with an active system to compensate for the magnetic fields generated by the ship and transported materials. The central command post and MS-227 device compartments are strengthened with alloy armor. The Zubr-class landing craft has a cargo area of 400 square metres (4,300 sq ft) and a fuel capacity of 56 tons. It can carry three main battle tanks (up to 150 tonnes), or ten armoured vehicles with 140 troops (up to 131 tonnes), or 8 armoured personnel carriers of total mass up to 115 tonnes, or 8 amphibious tanks or up to 500 troops (with 360 troops in the cargo compartment). At full displacement the ship is capable of negotiating up to 5-degree gradients on non-equipped shores and 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in)-high vertical walls. The Zubr class remains seaworthy in conditions up to Sea State 4. The vessel has a cruising speed of 30–40 knots (56–74 km/h; 35–46 mph).

David John Alexander Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 :Classified: Improving Ground Forces’ Capabilities China Defense Machinery Corporation (CDMC) was ordered by Ministry of National Defense to construct several military ground-vehicles called Project 932D. These ground vehicles is going to serve on the front-line with People’s Liberation Army Ground Forces. These weapons shared similar Pioneer Active Protection System (先锋主动防护系统) and Pioneer Universal Combat Platform which have NBC protection capabilities. 1. Type 17 Main Battle Tank Type 17 MBT is a new-generation main battle tank (MBT) developed by China Defense Machinery Corporation. The T-17 MBT is based on a modular combat platform, which can also serve as a basis for other armored variants such as heavy infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) and armored personnel carrier (APC). The hull is divided into three compartments, a crew cab at forward, an unmanned remote controlled turret in the centre and a power-pack at the rear. The driver sits in the left, gunner in the middle and commander in the right inside a special armoured capsule. Entry and exit are provided through three hatches in front of the hull. The roof of the turret houses a meteorological mast, satellite communications, global navigation satellite system, data-link and radio communications antennae. The hull is also equipped with a modular armour system made of steel, ceramics and composite materials. The low-silhouette of the tank avoids exposition of the parts to enemy fire, which significantly enhances the safety and survivability of the crew. The crew capsule is isolated from the automatic loader and ammunition to increase crew survivability during explosions. The T-17 MBT is fitted with an unmanned turret mounting a 125mm 2A82-1M smoothbore gun fed by an automatic loader. The turret carries a total of 45 rounds of ammunition, including ready-to-use ammunition. The main gun can also fire laser-guided missiles. The 2A82 152mm gun can be replaced with a new gun in future. The tank can also be fitted with secondary weapons including a 12.7mm remote machine gun and a Type 17 7.62mm remote machine gun. T17 also has ability of shot and run tactic and also capable to mount an Anti Aircraft Gun. The tank is anticipated to offer up to Level 6 protection. Its forward portion is covered with reactive armor, whereas the rear is fitted with bar armour. The tank can also be hinged with additional active and passive armor. The nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection, automatic fire suppression system and smoke grenade dischargers aboard the tank further enhance the crew survivability. The new Pioneer hard-kill active protection system on the tank defends incoming anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), rockets and RPGs. The commander and gunner are provided with multispectral sights with visible scope, thermal channels, and laser rangefinders. The commander’s sight mounted on top of the turret offers a 360° field of view, while the gunner’s sight is fitted with a direct-vision periscope and a laser designator. The wide-angle cameras fitted on the tank provide a full 360° all-round vision and situational awareness for the crew. The tank is also carrying electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) based laser warning receivers and friend-foe identification system. The T-17 MBT is fitted with a computerized fire control system, which automatically formulates the fire control solution using the data from a muzzle reference system and a wind sensor mounted on the roof of the turret. The tank is also equipped with a battlefield management system. The T17 MBT is powered by a A-85-3A turbocharged diesel engine, which generates a power output of 1,200hp. The engine is coupled to a 12-speed automatic transmission. The running gear includes seven dual rubber-tired road wheels on each side. The tank can run at a maximum road speed of 100km/h and has a maximum cruising range of 700km. Specifications Weight 48 tons Length 8.7 m (29 ft) Width 3.5 m (11 ft) Height 3.3 m (11 ft) Crew 3 Armor 1. 44S Lightweight Uranium Depleted Armor 2. Glacis: 900 mm vs Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot and 1400 vs High Explosives Anti Tank (HEAT). 3. Internal armored capsule with more than 900 mm RHA equivalent 4. Pioneer (6th generation ERA) can reduce penetration of APFSDS and HEAT rounds by at least 75%. Main armament 152 mm (5.29 in) smoothbore 2A82 tank cannon with 52 rounds (32 of them in the autoloader) Secondary armament 1. 12.7 mm (0.50 in) Kord remote machine gun (6P49) 2. 7.62 mm (0.30 in) Type 17 remote machine gun (6P7К) Engine diesel 1,500 hp – 2,000 hp Power/weight 31hp/t Transmission 12-speed automatic gearbox Operational range 700 kilometres (400 mi) Speed 90 km/h (60 mph) –100 km/h (70 mph) 3. BMZ-17H Infantry Fighting Vehicle The BMZ-17H features the BM remote control turret with its 2A42 30 mm auto cannon, a 7.62 mm coaxial PKT and a bank of two EM anti-tank guided missiles on both sides. Like the Type 17 MBT, the BMZ-17H IFV is based on the Pioneer Universal Combat Platform, but unlike the Type 17 it has its engine in the front. It is powered by a new generation 1,500 hp multifuel diesel engine coupled with a hydro-mechanical automatic transmission, has a combat weight of about 40 tons, a maximum road speed of 80–90 km/h (40–43 mph), an operational range of 750 km (340 mi), and a power-to-weight ratio of over 30 h.p./t. Like the Type 17, the BMZ-17H is protected by reactive armor and the Pioneer active protection system. While the Type 17 has its pioneer launch tubes at the base of its turret, the BMZ-17H has them arrayed along the top sides of its hull. It uses four soft-kill launchers to deploy smoke grenades that disrupt visual and infrared guidance systems, and five hard-kill launch tubes on top of the hull, compared to the Type 17 ten hard-kill tubes on the turret which automatically turns to face a threat. The BMZ-17H has "an unprecedented level of armor protection," including improved passive steel and ceramic composite plate armor and a slat armor cage at the rear. Its new ERA Protection is claimed to protect against ATGMs like the FGM-148 Javelin and 120 mm tank rounds. In addition to hard-kill and soft-kill APS, the developer uses a special paint that significantly reduces the vehicle's infrared signature. The floor is reinforced with an additional armor plate for counter-mine and counter-IED protection, and it has a jamming system to detonate radio-controlled anti-tank mines. The BMZ-17H has an NBC protection system While its advanced technological capabilities, the Type 17 and BMZ-17H are the most advanced vehicles built on this project. Specifications Weight 48 tons Armor Steel and ceramic composite (1,200-1,400 mm) HEAT protection Main armament 2A42 30 mm auto cannon with 550 rounds (Armor piercing and high explosives) Secondary armament 1. 7.62 mm PKT coaxial machine gun 2. 5.45 mm Type 15 machine gun 3. 100 m-range Zhejiang Anti Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) Engine Multifuel diesel engine (1,500 hp) Payload 9 infantry (+3 crew) Transmission Automatic Operational range 900 km (600 mi) Speed 90-100 km/h (60-70 mph) 4. BMZ-17M Infantry Fighting Vehicle The BMZ-17M IFV features the BM remote control turret with its 2A42 30 mm auto cannon, a 7.62 mm coaxial PKT remote machine gun and a bank of two EM anti-tank guided missiles on either side. It weighs 23 tons. This allows the BMZ-17M IFV to be light enough to be mobile on water. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 80 km/h on land and 20 km/h on water. The BMZ-17M IFV has 360-degree coverage from its active protection system launcher tubes. This APS is smaller than the one found on the Type 17 MBT and BMZ-17H, but like the BMZ-17H, it's attached close the top of the hull. A two-part projectile detection system is placed on various places on the hull and turret. According to first vice president and co-owner of China Defense Machinery Corporation, Wang Yu, the BMZ-17M IFV uses a console similar to a gamepad. It is wider than previous generations of APCs and IFVs. Also, the front located engine increases crew comfort and ease of access. The BMZ-17M is also lighter and cheaper than its variant of BMZ-17H. The BMZ-17M is designated to serve on amphibious assaults and operations. Specifications Weight 25 tons Crew 3 (+8 passengers) Engine 800 hp Power/weight 32 hp/tonne Suspension Torsion Bar Speed 90 km/h (60 mph) On Water 14 km/h (6.2 mph; 5.4 kn) 5. BMZ-18 Armored Personnel Carrier China Defense Machinery Corporation, the company making the BMZ-18, claims it “will be completely different like any of the modern APCs.” It is known that the vehicle will be amphibious and be able to negotiate and overcome water obstacles using two water-jets. The engine is located in the front instead of the rear. Engine location was a significant drawback of BMZ vehicles, where soldiers had to exit the vehicles through cramped side doors. The BMZ-18 APC has rear doors and roof hatches for troop entry and exit. It will likely have a crew of three consisting of the driver, gunner, and commander and hold ten troops. Protection will come from ceramic armor and technologies to prevent shell splinters. BMZ-18 will be equipped with a 750 hp turbocharged diesel engine. The BMZ-18 APC is armed with the 100 m-range anti-tank missiles, and CS/LK4 Remote machine gun. The BMZ-18 APC is designated to fast-attack ground assaults due to its capabilities and durability. Specifications Weight 19.8 tons Crew 3 (12 passengers) Armor Ceramic layered shield Main armament 1. BM Remote weapon system with 30 mm cannon 2. Zhejiang Anti Tank Guided Missiles Engine turbocharged diesel UTD-32TR 510 hp Suspension Hydropneumatic suspension Operational range 800 km (500 mi) Speed 100 km/h (62 mph) 6. BMZ-19 Infantry Fighting Vehicle The BMZ-19 IFV, is an airborne infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), has undergone landing testing. The advanced BMZ-19 parachute airdrop system gave the vehicle a relatively soft landing. From 2017, the country's airborne troops will be able to use the "flying" IFV, which can be dropped from the air directly onto the battlefield with its crew inside. Rigorous testing of the new BMZ-19 parachute system, the modernized airborne infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) has seen it dropped from a strategic airlifter 11 times. This, incidentally, is also the number of main parachutes the BMZ-19 system has: 11 giant domes each 350 sq m; the size of a large house. The technology used in these huge parachutes makes it possible to reduce the load on the crew in the vehicle during landing. Once the IFV has landed, the parachutes automatically detach, and the vehicle is immediately ready for battle. For landing troops far behind enemy lines, without the support of tanks or artillery, the vehicle is a boon. The modern BMD-4 has an excellent operating range (650 km (406.25 miles) without refueling), a high top speed (around 70 km/h (40-45 mph), reinforced armor and enhanced firepower. These qualities enable an airborne infantry group to rapidly destroy the enemy on its territory while avoiding losses itself. Like the other versions, the BMZs, the BMZ-19 not only drives and flies but also swims. In the water, it can reach speeds of 17 km/h (10.6 mph), and water obstacles are no problem for it. This versatility is a mandatory requirement from China's military for armored assault and infantry vehicles. The BMZ-19 is designated to serve for various airborne assaults and operations. The BMZ-19 is the lightest IFV built on this project. Specifications Weight 13.6 tons Length 6.36 m (20 ft 10 in) (gun forward), 6.1 m (20 ft 0 in) (hull) Width 3.11 m (10 ft 2 in) Height 2.45 m (8 ft 0 in) Crew 3 (Commander, Driver, and Gunner) Passengers 8 Armor Layer shielded steel Hull Aluminum alloy Main armament 1. 100 mm 2A70 rifled cannon gun 2. 30 mm 2A72 Auto cannon Secondary armament 4. 7.62 mm PKT coaxial machine gun 5. 5.45 mm Type 15 machine gun 6. 100 m-range Zhejiang Anti Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) Engine UTD-29 multi-fuel diesel engine (500 hp (368 kW)) Power/weight BMD-4M: 37.0 hp/tonne (27.2 kW/tonne) Suspension Wheeled 8x8 Operational range 650 km (402 mi) Speed 70 km/h (43 mph) (on paved roads) 45 km/h (28 mph) (on rough terrain) 17 km/h (6.2 mph) (in water) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David John Alexander Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 :Classified: Development of ZM-87 Portable Laser Disturber The ZM-87 Portable Laser Disturber is a Chinese electro-optic countermeasure neodymium laser device. The ZM-87 was primarily intended to blind humans but was also intended to damage the photo-electric elements in laser rangefinders, video-cameras and missile seekers. Roughly 5,290 of the devices were produced by the Norinco State Arms Corporation for the People’s Liberation Army Ground Forces. The ZM-87 is also applicable for use in Armored Personnel Carriers, Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Main Battle Tanks as a secondary weapon.

David John Alexander Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (ATGM) The Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM) is about 1.5 meter (60 inches) long, weighing less than 45 kg (100 pounds). It is designed to operate as short as Anti Tank Guided Missiles and at extended range of 10 km, engaging tanks and other armored vehicles well beyond their effective range. The Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM) is approximately 60 inches long and weighs less than 100 pounds. It provides increased lethality and enhanced survivability. The missile's kill effector is a hyper-velocity (+6.5 Mach) long rod, defeating the target by kinetic energy. It is designed to defeat armored and fortified (structures) targets, including targets protected by explosive reactive armor and active protection systems. CKEM can be fired within or beyond line-of-sight, relying on passive target acquisition and engagement. The high velocity, hit-to-kill and advanced guidance provides the warfighter with near fire-and-forget capability, overwhelming lethality and a high probability of first-round kill. The system demonstrated extreme lethality against bunkers, constructed structures and armored targets at both short and extended ranges. These are the specifications for the missile: Length: 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) Motor: Solid-fuel rocket Max range: 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) Max weight: 45 kilograms (99 lb) Velocity: Mach 6.5+ Warhead: Kinetic energy penetrator Penetrator energy: 10 megajoules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David John Alexander Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Establishment of V-18 Radar Station V-18 radars are the next generation of Chinese early-warning radar, providing long distance monitoring of airspace against missiles attack, aircraft monitoring, and space reconnaissance. The V-18 radars are described as highly prefabricated meaning that they have a set up time of days rather than months and need fewer personnel than previous generations. They are also modular so that a radar can be brought into operation whilst being incomplete. There will be 8 radar stations to cover and protect the Chinese airspace and this system will be integrated to the National Aerospace Defense Command (NADC) on the Fenghui Mountain Military Complex. These radars could detect objects up to 20,000 km and the V-18 radars could provide a specific detail of objects on range up to 10,000 km. No. built : 8 operational as of 2017 Type : Phased array Early-warning radar Frequency : V18-M : 150–200 MHz (VHF) V18-DM : 0.1 m wavelength (UHF) Range : Up to 20,000 km Power : 0.7 MW consumption Launching of KR-55 Mobile Electronic Warfare System The KR-55 MEW is a mobile, ground-based, electronic warfare (EW) system. This system is produced by the China Defense Technology Corporation on different wheeled platforms. The KR-55’s primary targets are airborne radio-electronics (such as UAVs), airborne systems guided by radar, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles defense and even communications system. The KR-55 has multiple applications in the People’s Liberation Army and the technology could be installed on J-18, J-35 aircrafts or even a battleships. The KR-55 broadband multifunctional jamming station is mounted on a ZKZ-6910-022 four-axle-chassis. the KR-55 counters AWACS and other airborne radar systems. The Krasukha-4 has the range for effectively disrupting low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and can cause permanent damage to targeted radio or electronic devices. Ground based radars are also a viable target for the KR-55. The KR-55 is effective on range up to 1,000 km. Multiplying the Numbers and Capabilities of Ballistic Missiles and its Defense Ballistic missiles are the main strategic capabilities of the PLA Rocket Force. The PLA Rocket Force is intended to multiple the numbers of Tactical Ballistic Missiles from 2,300 into 9,400 (about 4 times more). About 2,500 of them will be put on strategic arsenal which could be deployed for first-strike use. The PLA Rocket Force will also guaranteed that these missiles could survive and able for retaliation strike as they are hidden on very secret Underground Facilities. PLA Rocket Force will also increase the largest yield of nuclear arsenal from 10 MT into 50 MT. While increasing the offensive capabilities, the People’s Liberation Army is also working to increase its defensive capabilities. An integrated aerospace defense system under a single command of Joint Command for Aerospace Defense / National Aerospace Defense Command is established. The JCAD/NADC will operate five Aerospace Defense systems which consist of: 1. Boost/ascent defense segment Which consists of space-based tactical directed energy laser and airborne laser system. 2. Midcourse defense segment Which consists of Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle, Ground Based Interceptors, Ground Based Midcourse Defense, and YJ-10 VLS sea based Missile Defense system. 3. Terminal defense segment Which consists of YJ-3 Extended Range missile defense system, Zhongguo High Altitude Air Defense system (ZHAAD), and YJ-600 SAM missile system which ranged up to 900 km. Building Up Cruise Missiles The People’s Liberation Army built several new types of cruise missiles as part of modernization doctrine. The cruise missiles are intended to strengthen the battle capabilities of People’s Liberation Army. These cruise missiles acquired better stealth technology, faster speeds, further range and higher explosion. 1. CH-750; range 3,000 km to 5,000 km, speed up to Mach 5, and 1 MT thermonuclear yield 2. CH-950; range 3,500 km, speed up to Mach 6, 1 MT thermonuclear yield. It is intended for Anti Ship Missile 3. CH-700; range 500 km, speed up to Mach 3, 500 kt Nuclear yield. It is intended for Air-to-surface missile 4. CR-100; range 182,000 km, speed up to Mach 0.3, 100 kt Nuclear yield (carries 16 warheads). Development of Status-6 Multipurpose Oceanic System The Status-6 MOS, is a nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed unmanned underwater vehicle by the PLA Navy. It would supposedly be able to deliver a thermonuclear cobalt bomb of up to 100 megatonnes against enemy's naval ports and coastal cities. This weapon is designed to create a tsunami wave up to 500 m tall that will radioactively contaminate a wide area on an enemy coasts with cobalt-60, and to be immune to anti-missile defense systems such as anti-ballistic missiles, laser weapons and railguns that might disable an ICBM or a SLBM. The Type 032 Submarines are able to carry 6 warheads of Status-6. It appears to be a torpedo-shaped robotic mini-submarine, that can travel at speeds of 200 km/h (100 kn). With a range of 10,000 km (6,200 mi) and a depth maximum of 2,000 m (3,300 ft). This underwater drone is cloaked by stealth technology to elude acoustic tracking devices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defending our Sky, Defending the People’s Republic The Shenyang X-45 unmanned combat air vehicle is a fully autonomous military airccraft, developed by Shenyang Aerospace Corporation. Manufactured jointly between Shenyang Aerospace Corporation and Chengdu Aerospace Corporation, the X-45 was a part of Next Generation Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles NG-UCAS. It is the first military aircraft which use solar panel to produce its energy. Shenyang developed the X-45 from research gathered during the development of the Xian H-21. The X-45 features an extremely low-profile dorsal intake placed near the leading edge of the aircraft. The center fuselage is blended into a swept lambda wing, with a small exhaust outlet. It has no vertical control surfaces — split ailerons near each wingtip function as asymmetric air brakes, providing rudder control, much as in Xian's flying wings. Removing the pilot and its associated facilities from the aircraft dramatically reduces the aircraft's cost. Ground-based pilots only execute the higher level decisions such as the launch of weapons, but the mechanical flying of the aircraft is autonomous. It has also great maneuvers capabilities and able to identify friendly aircrafts thus greatly avoid friendly fire during battles. The Shenyang X-45 also has unlimited range since it uses solar energy as primary fuel. As the aircraft is unmanned and autonomous, it has unlimited range and able to go beyond the low earth orbit. It was planned that this aircraft will be used for outer space missions. To support this duty, People’s Liberation Army Aerospace Force planned to launch signal transmitter probe to the dark side of the moon so that the X-45 could extend its operational range. General characteristics Crew: 0 Length: 26 ft 6 in (8.08 m) Wingspan: 33 ft 10 in (10.3 m) Height: 6 ft 8 in (2.14 m) Empty weight: 8,000 lb (3,630 kg) Powerplant: · 1 × Honeywell F124-GA-100 turbofan · 2 x Shenyang S44 Solar Panels Performance Maximum speed: Mach 2.75 ( 529 mph, 1,919 km/h) Range: Unlimited Combat radius: Unlimited Service ceiling: 40,000 ft (13,200 m) Armament Hardpoints: 8 - 14 weapon bays with 4 in each - and provisions to carry combinations of: Bombs: JDAM, CR-100 Cruise Missiles, and GBU-88 The New Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) and Graphite bombs The Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) is a joint concept technology demonstration led by the PLAAF Research Laboratory, Directed Energy Directorate at Hanoi Air Force Base to develop an air-launched directed-energy weapon capable of incapacitating or damaging electronic systems by means of an EMP(electromagnetic pulse). The CHAMP is superior to other electronic warfare weapons because it destroys electronics, rather than jamming which temporarily affects systems that come back online when it stops being applied. It is planned to be placed on J-18, J-20, J-22 and J-35 aircrafts. The CHAMP could cause kill-chain if it is harmed on electrical grid or power supply. Meanwhile, A graphite bomb (also known as the "Blackout Bomb" or the "Soft Bomb") is a non-lethal weapon used to disable electrical power systems. Graphite bombs work by spreading a cloud of extremely fine, chemically treated carbon filaments over electrical components, causing a short-circuit and a disruption of the electrical supply. The filaments are only a few hundredths of an inch thick and can float in the air like a dense cloud. The weapon is sometimes referred to as a "soft bomb", since its effects are largely confined to the targeted electrical power facility, with minimal risk of collateral damage. A graphite bomb consists of a metal canister that is filled with spools of graphite filament and an explosive device. The canister is typically labeled "BLU-114/B". The BLU is a military acronym for "bomb live unit". Once the bomb is ejected from a plane or missile, the device's explosive is activated. The explosive detonates, breaking the graphite filament into very fine pieces which is ejected from the metal canister into a large gas-like plume. The Graphite bomb is intended to disable at least 90% of target’s electrical supply as it produces kill chain through power lines.

David John Alexander Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) :Classified: Modern Infantry Equipment Program Modern Infantry Equipment Program is a future soldier program of PLA Ground Forces that used a combination of commercial, off-the-shelf technology (COTS) and current-issue military gear and equipment designed to: · integrate small arms with high-tech equipment; · provide communications and command and control at the infantry soldier level; · look at the individual infantry soldier as a complete unit rather than as a segment of a larger force. While technology had long been a primary focus of the People’s Liberation Army, very little of it had actually been adopted by the PLA-GF infantry soldier. With growing concerns of urban warfare and dismounted infantry actions, the PLA Ground Forces recognized the need to upgrade an individual infantryman. The Land Warrior program drew upon many wearable computer concepts, and maximized existing technologies to correct most infantry soldier limitations in the short term. The program has three priority objectives: · Improving the lethality of an individual soldier · Increasing the survivability of a soldier · Providing full command, communications, and control to a soldier The program has seven main subsystems: · Weapon · Integrated helmet assembly · Protective clothing and equipment · Computer · Navigation · Radio · Software system Additional features included: · providing dismounted soldier combat identification for en route situational awareness and power recharge to reduce 'friendly fire' incidents · Commander's Digital Assistant leader planning tool · weight and power reduction · scalability and tailorability for operational missions 1. Weapon The original system was built around the Type 06 Assault Rifles, both with modular rail mounts to allow customization as needed for each mission. It included the weapon itself, plus components such as a daylight video sight, thermal weapons sight and MFL (Multi-Function Laser). The MFL provided range and direction information, as well as IR, visible, and MILES lasers, while the cameras provided a video feed and thermographic capabilities, plus allowing a soldier to shoot around corners or behind cover without actually exposing himself to enemy fire. This is highly effective for confirming kills without exposing one's position. 2. Helmet The Helmet Subsystem (HSS) combined a lightweight advanced helmet with a computer and OLED display that provided various information from digital maps and troop locations down to his weapon-mounted video camera. This is what would have allowed the soldier to see (and fire) around corners. The HSS also incorporated a microphone as well as a headset. 3. Armor and Protection The Interceptor Body Armor system and Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) load-bearing system currently in service with the PLA today are partially a result of the this program. The armor protects almost 90% of a soldier's body. The main body armour (Standard vest) is GOST R 50744-95 Level V rated, weighs 7.5 kg (with the Assault variant weighing up to 15 kg). The main body armour fully protects from 7.62×39mm rounds from assault rifles, and 7.62×54mmR from sniper rifles, including the increased penetration of hardened rounds, and can survive hits from repeated shots in these calibres conducted at close range. 4. Computer The Computer Subsystem (CSS) provided the processing power and storage capacity for the system. The CSS is based around an ARM XScale processor. The CSS connects to each one of the LRUs as well as to the batteries. The system also includes a navigation module so that a squad leader can see the location of each soldier on his small, book-sized, computer. With this computer, he also can give orders to his squad, and send videos and photos to headquarters. As well as this, each soldier has their own smaller telephone-sized tactical computer. 5. Navigation The Navigation Subsystem (NSS) provided positional information, it integrates a GPS receiver and a Dead Reckoning Module (DRM) that maintains accurate location when GPS signal becomes unavailable. 6. Radio The Communication Network Radio Subsystem (CNRS) provided communications capabilities for the program. The CNRS is based on EPLRS. The frequency used is constantly hopped as a countermeasure against jammers. The weight of the full system with the special thigh and shoulder bulletproof shields is 19–20 kg. The Basic gear (for engineers and medics) weighs 15 kg (without thigh and shoulder guards). The gears are made of a special fabric preventing troops from being detected by infrared or thermal devices. Development of SGR-A1 Lethal Autonomous Weapons The SGR-A1 is a type of sentry gun (a weapon that fires autonomously) that was jointly developed by Norinco State Arms Corporation (now Norinco Corporation) and National Defense University to assist PLA troops in the battlefield. It is widely considered as the earliest commercialized robot with autonomous capabilities and the first of its kind unit to have an integrated system that includes surveillance, tracking, firing, and visual-recognition. The SGR-21 is able to be fitted for various military vehicles from Main Battle Tanks, IFV, APC or even UAV. General Characteristics Type: Lethal Autonomous Weapons System (LAWS)(Stationary) Weight: 117 kg (approx. 258 lbs) Height: 120 cm (approx. 47 in) Effective range: 0-6 km (approx. 0–5 miles) Daytime sensor detection range: 0–4 km (approx. 0–2.5 miles) Nighttime sensor detection range: Approx. 0–3.5 km (approx. 0–1.9 miles) Upon detecting a foe, The SGR-A1 will attempt to identify the target through visual, voice, thermal and signal recognition. If it detects a foe, it will immediately fire the target. However, the operator may override the system if needed. A grenade launcher can also be mounted on this system. Development of XR-72 Reconnaissance Aircrafts XR-72 is a hypersonic UAV project developed by Equipment Development Department of Central Military Commission. It is intended for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. The XR-72 able to fly at Mach 6 (4,000 mph; 6,400 km/h; 3,500 kn). The XR-72 Blackbird used scramjets with supersonic combustion cover the range of high supersonic to hypersonic speeds. The hypersonic speed is intended to avoid detection while conducting ISR operations. At speeds of Mach 5 and above, aerodynamic heating becomes hot enough to melt conventional metallic airframes, so engineers are looking to composites such as high-performance carbon, ceramic, and metal mixes, for fabrication of critical components. Such composites have been commonly used in intercontinental ballistic missiles and the Space Shuttles. Development of Boomerang Gunfire Countermeasure System Boomerang is a gunfire locator developed by Equipment Development Department and Shanghai Technologies Corporation primarily for use against snipers. Boomerang is mounted on mobile vehicles such as the IFV, APC, and other combat vehicles. There is a plan to integrate it into the Modern Infantry Equipment Program system. The abilities of Boomerang included: · Shooter localization to plus or minus 5 degree accuracy, and within one second of the shot · Ability to detect and localize fire from assault rifles and other small arms at ranges from 150 to 300 meters · Reliable performance in urban environments with low buildings · Operable when mounted on a vehicle moving up to 60 miles per hour on either rough terrain or highways · Ability to withstand sand, pebbles, rain, and light foliage impacts · Ability to deliver alert information in both a voice announcement and on an LED display · Microphone array and electronics box The Boomerang unit attaches on a mast to the rear of a vehicle and uses an array of seven small microphone sensors. The sensors detect and measure both the muzzle blast and the supersonic shock wave from a supersonic bullet traveling through the air (and so is less effective against sub-sonic ammunition). Each microphone detects the sound at slightly different times. Boomerang then computes the direction a bullet is coming from, distance above the ground and range to the shooter in less than one second. Users receive simultaneous visual and auditory information on the point of fire from an LED 12-hour clock image display panel and speaker mounted inside the vehicle. For example, if someone is firing from the rear, the system announces "Shot, 6 o'clock", an LED illuminates at the 6 o'clock position, and the computer tells the user the shooter's range, elevation and azimuth. Boomerang works in extreme weather, in open field and in urban environments, whether static or moving. Shanghai Tech Corporation states that false shot detections are less than one per thousand hours of system operation at vehicle speeds under 50 miles per hour.

David John Alexander Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) :Public: Strengthening Defense Industry to Protect the Nation The largest military aircraft factory which belongs to China Aerospace Corporation, a state owned company that produces a lot of sophisticated aerial vehicles. TheDefense industry of People’s Republic of China is one of the largest and most efficient in the world. It has contributed hundreds billion of yuan annually to the Government and the People. About ninety percent of defense industries are run by state owned enterprises. The big four of them are China Aerospace Corporation (CAeC), Northern Industry Corporation (NORINCO State Arms), China Defense Machinery Corporation (CDMC) and China National Shipbuilding Corporation (CNSC). These industries employed a total of 2.8 Million workers, scientists and experts from various fields. From these industries, China produces a lot of sophisticated and futuristic weapon technologies. The People’s Republic of China also intended to educate more scientists and experts in defense or military fields. To fulfill these wishes, the Central Military Commission built a lot of universities and academies. One of the largest universities and academies are National Defense University, National University of Defense Technology, China Academy of Aerospace, and the National Military Academy. For the People’s Republic of China, modern and sophisticated weapons are not enough to defend our people from foreign aggressions but also good and skillful human resources are needed too. The National Military Academy, china's largest military academy which is managed by Central Military Commission Ministry of National Defense also stated that the ongoing modernization of People’s Liberation Army is supplemented by a strong defense industry and skillful human resources. The Ministry of National Defense planned to change the orientation of defense industry from domestic-oriented into export-oriented industry. Due to this, the Ministry of Defense is going to remove the Prohibition of Arms and Weapons Export Act by agreement from National People’s Congress. After it finished, the defense industries are allowed to work as contractors for foreign militaries with the consent of Military Industrial Commission of Central Military Commission. The Ministry of National Defense also ordered all defense industries of China to fulfill the national demand for better weapons and military vehicles to ensure the protection of the People’s Republic of China as well to fit the plan for maximum essential force which includes 3,850,000 active personnel, 500,000 reservists, 87,000 ground vehicles, and 15,660 aircrafts as well 231 naval vessels. :Classified: Development of Hypersonic Glide Vehicles The DF-ZF is a hypersonic missile delivery vehicle that has been flight-tested by China seven times. All the test launches were performed at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi Province, the main long-range missile testing center for the People's Liberation Army. The DZ-ZF is thought to reach speeds between Mach 8 (5,836 mph (7,173 km/h)) and Mach 12 (7,680 mph (12,360 km/h)). The glider could be used for nuclear weapons delivery but could also be used to perform precision-strike conventional missions (for example, next-generation anti-ship ballistic missiles), which could penetrate "the layered air defenses” Hypersonic glider vehicles are less susceptible to anti-ballistic missile countermeasures than conventional reentry vehicles (RVs). Normal RVs descend through the atmosphere on a predictable ballistic trajectory—a hypersonic glider like the HGV can pull-up after reentering the atmosphere and approach its target in a relatively flat glide, lessening the time it can be detected, fired at, or reengaged if an initial attack fails. Gliding makes it more maneuverable and extends its range. Although gliding creates more drag, it flies further than it would on a higher trajectory through space, and is too low to be intercepted by exo-atmospheric kill vehicles. A vehicle like the DF-ZF could be fitted to various Chinese ballistic missiles, such as the DF-21 medium-range missile (extending range from 2,000 to 3,000 km (1,200 to 1,900 mi)), and the DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missiles (extending range from 17,000 to 20,000 km (7,000 to 8,500 mi). DN-3 Anti Satellite Missiles The Dong Neng 3 (Kinetic Energy 3) is a series of newly-tested anti satellite missiles which conducted jointly by People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force and People’s Liberation Army Aerospace Force. The DN-3 is designed to as a high-orbit interceptor which destroys orbiting satellites and objects using high-speed kinetic impact. The missile was tested at Corona Missile Test Center which located within Vietnam. DN-3 Anti Satellite Missiles are able to be launched from mobile transporter KZ-11. So that, it increases its mobility and maneuverability. The DN-3 uses ICBM technology to boost its speed, velocities, and range capabilities. Flight Test of The Largest Military Cargo Aircraft The China Aerospace Corporation constructed the world’s largest strategic airlifter Xian Y-225. It is powered by six turbofan engines and is the heaviest aircraft ever built, with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes (710 short tons). It also has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service. The aircraft was ordered by the People’s Liberation Army Ground Forces, Army Aviation Corps. It is intended to transport military vehicles, space planes, and even airborne operations. General characteristics Crew: 6 Length: 84 m (275 ft 7 in) Wingspan: 88.4 m (290 ft 0 in) Height: 18.1 m (59 ft 5 in) Wing area: 905 m2 (9,740 sq ft) Aspect ratio: 8.6 Empty weight: 285,000 kg (628,317 lb) Max takeoff weight: 640,000 kg (1,410,958 lb) Fuel capacity: 300,000 kg Cargo hold – volume 1,300 m3 (46,000 cu ft), 43.35 m (142.2 ft) long × 6.4 m (21 ft) wide × 4.4 m (14 ft) tall Powerplant: 6 × Progress D-18T turbofans, 229.5 kN (51,600 lbf) thrust each Performance Maximum speed: 850 km/h (528 mph; 459 kn) Cruise speed: 800 km/h (497 mph; 432 kn) Range: 15,400 km (9,569 mi; 8,315 nmi) with maximum fuel; range with 200 tonnes payload: 4,000 km (2,500 mi) Service ceiling: 11,000 m (36,000 ft) Wing loading: 662.9 kg/m2 (135.8 lb/sq ft) Thrust/weight: 0.234 Positioning Z-135 Anti Ballistic Missile System to Strengthen Air Defense Capabilities The Z-135 Gazelle is a Chinese made anti-ballistic missile. The system is able to intercept incoming re-entry vehicles at a distance of 400 km. The 53T6 is a two-stage solid-propellant rocket armed with a 10 kt thermonuclear weapon. The missile is about 10 meters in length and 1.8 meters in diameter. Its launch weight is 10 tons. The Z-135 missile is kept in a silo-based launch container. Prior to launch its cover is blown off. The missile achieves speeds of approximately Mach 17 (20,826 km/h; 12,941 mph; 5.7849 km/s). Maximum load maneuvers capability is longitudinal 210G - transverse 90G. The system was constructed as part of multiple-layered air defense systems and designated for terminal phase interception. It has already known that People’s Republic of China airspace is protected heavily by well-integrated systems known as Layered Air Defense Networks which operated by National Aerospace Defense Command (NADC). The Z-135 ABM will strengthen the ballistic missile defense capabilities along with Z-500 Prometheus and ZHAAD which is able to intercept longer range (400-2,200 km) at speed of Mach 5+. The systems will use V-88 Voronezh radar which able to detect and track objects at range of 10,000+ km.

David John Alexander Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 :Classified: Operation Divine Might People’s Liberation Army Space Forces (a sub-branch of People’s Liberation Army Aerospace Forces) conducted a series of high altitude nuclear explosions test to address the effectiveness of nuclear weapons for outer space uses. The tests were conducted on classified artificial islands at southern Pacific Ocean and were guarded by Fourth Fleet of People’s Liberation Army Navy from Panama. The test began on March 10 until March 15. The first explosion was conducted on March 11 01.21 A.M GMT +5. A Long March rocket was launched into ionosphere and carried W-12 Nuclear warhead with 1.4 Megatons yield of TNT. The nuclear explosion caused x-ray, gamma ray and created aurora within thousand miles away from test site. The aurora was estimated will last for 7 days as the explosion caused a lot of debris within atmosphere. The explosion and effects were far-larger than it was estimated. It also caused a large Electromagnetic pulse which may damage thousands kilometers away. The EMP had been predicted by scientists, but the Divine Might pulse was far larger than expected. And there was another effect that hadn’t been predicted accurately. Many of the electrons and heavy ions from the blast didn’t fall down into the Earth’s atmosphere, but instead lingered in space for months, trapped by Earth’s magnetic field, creating an artificial radiation belt high above our planet’s surface. The China National Space Administration estimated that the test was a great leap forward for future development of space weapons of People’s Liberation Army. A grand design for the first multiple nuclear-armed spacecraft has been taken into manufacturing stage. The Commander of People’s Liberation Army Space Forces LTG Wang Fenghun stated that China will always ready to face external aggression which threatens our national security interest using its own forces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David John Alexander Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) :Classified: A New Path to the Space The manufacture of Antimatter Rocket engine at Yunnan Space Laboratory The main military doctrine and strategy of People’s Liberation Army Space Forces for space warfare is to conduct a long-range attacks or strikes rather than face-to-face warfare. To fulfill this doctrine, the PLA Space Forces must buildup spacecrafts which able to carry multiple explosions or warheads to conduct a long-range strikes. A great achievement was made by the discovery of Antimatter propulsion engine for spacecrafts. The antimatter propelled spacecrafts will be able to reach +10.000 km/s speed while at low-gravity conditions. The advantage to this class of rocket is that a large fraction of the rest mass of a matter/antimatter mixture may be converted to energy, allowing antimatter rockets to have a far higher energy density and specific impulse than any other proposed class of rocket. There is also a plan to build fleets of unmanned ground vehicles to conduct military strikes on other planets. Meanwhile, the Airborne Command of People’s Liberation Army Ground Forces planned to train its troops to have “space-borne” abilities. They will also be trained to fight at low-gravity situations at several space testing centers on China for future deployment if needed. However this plan for low-gravity exercise is still waiting for approval from Central Military Commission. During special session of the National People’s Congress of People’s Republic of China, President Xi Jinping stated that China will grow its military capabilities to face all kind of threats wherever they will come. President Xi Jinping also pressed the PLA Space Forces, China National Space Administration and all military institutions to develop its military to meet the challenges of future threats against the People's Republic.

The KR-99 affects the proximity/radio-controlled fuse making it explode at higher altitudes keeping the troops and equipment safe. Besides, the system is able to neutralize radio-frequencies employed by the enemy's communications. The KR-99 is deployed on an armored vehicle fitted with a television antenna which provides coverage for an area of 100 kilometers. The antenna can rotate -/+180-degree and its jamming signal can last for one hour. This EW system requires a crew of two-man and can be ready for jamming within 5 minutes. The China Defense Machinery Corporation has began to manufacture this system for People’s Liberation Army Ground Forces. Specifications Crew: 2 Coverage Area: 100 km Protection Probability: 80 % Coverage Radius: 100 km Set Up Time: 5 minutes The Establishment of Continuity of Operations Plan The People’s Republic of China established guidelines to ensure the continuity of government operations in terms of catastrophic events that may endanger the safety of People’s Republic. It also developed to avoid disorder and vacuum of power in the aftermath of a total war. The protocols were set on a document named National Continuity Directive – 1 which is signed by President of China and spread to various government institutions. The Directive also includes civilian evacuation and economy recovery plan which is essential and critical functions to the continuity of the People’s Republic. The Continuity of Operations Plan involves numerous bunkers, special airplanes, and communication systems. These facilities are always available and ready in case of catastrophic events which forces the Government to evacuate. The Facilities are Underground Facilities 1. 816 Nuclear Military Plant, it is the largest underground tunnel and artificially constructed cave in the world. The Facility was built at 1966 to enhance national defense and prevent possible nuclear attacks which may devastate the state. The underground base was designed to be able to tolerate more than thousands of tons of TNT explosives and 9-magnitude earthquakes. The surface area of the cave is more than 104,000 m2, and the total length of the tunnels is more than 20 kilometers. The whole complex has a total of 18 artificial caves linked to each other, and has more than 130 roads and tunnels. Automobiles such as cars are able to pass the roads and tunnels inside. The largest artificial cave has a height of 79.6 meters, and is roughly equal to that of a 20-floor building. The Facility will serve as the Alternate National Military Command Center for C4ISTAR of People’s Liberation Army. 2. 990 Underground Tunnel, is a doomsday bunker to evacuate the members of National People’s Congress as well officials of Communist Party of China. the Tunnel is able to communicate using satellites in case of catastrophic events occurred. 3. 1 Nuclear Military Plant, it is the second strongest underground tunnel which is being constructed. The Tunnel will serve as the second residence of President of China. It is built to withstand against incoming nuclear weapons, natural disasters or terrorist attacks. It does possess several television sets, telephones and a communications system to coordinate with other government entities during an emergency situation which is uninterruptable. The facility will always be manned by joint-services military officers. 4. Chinese Metro Subway Systems, The Ministry of Transportation cooperated with People’s Liberation Army to redesign all subway systems in China. The system was supposedly built as a networked bunker to evacuate people of China. The facility will provide food, healthcare and shelters for the people of China. The system will be operated by People’s Liberation Army during wartime. Airplanes 1. Air China One, is the radio sign for the Presidential Aircraft which operated by PLA Aerospace Forces for Presidential travels. The Aircraft is featured with high-security systems against missiles, jammers and Electromagnetic pulse. The Aircraft is also equipped with secured phone and communications systems, enabling the President to perform duties while Airborne. It sometimes also escorted by several military aircrafts. 2. National Airborne Operations Center, The KJ-5000 Skywatch is specially built to serve as a survivable mobile command post for the National Command Authority (NCA). Either the President or the Minister of Defense may use it. It is also possible that the president would authorize the vice president or others to use it, depending on the circumstances. 3. Flywatch Operation, is a codename for all military Airborne Early Warning and Control System aircrafts which took over in case all ground military posts are destroyed or incapable of communicating with strategic forces to conduct retaliations. During peacetime, only an aircraft will conduct this operation at all times. After a war, all AWACS aircrafts will be flown to conduct this operation. Ships 1. PLAN Invincible (CC-1) is an afloat command post which will be deployed as a part of triad composed command posts in case of emergency situations or ground military posts are destroyed. It is under command of The First Fleet of People’s Liberation Navy. 2. PLAN Vanguard (CC-2) is also an afloat command post which under command of Second Fleet. Communications 1. TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out) is a Chinese military system of survivable communications links designed to be used in nuclear warfare to maintain communications between the decision-makers (the National Command Authority) and the triad of strategic nuclear weapons delivery systems. Its primary mission is to receive, verify and retransmit Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) to strategic forces. It does this by maintaining the ability to communicate on virtually every radio frequency band from very low frequency (VLF) up through super high frequency (SHF) using a variety of modulations, encryptions and networks. This airborne communications capability largely replaced the land-based extremely low frequency (ELF) broadcast sites that became vulnerable. 2. Satellites, the Chinese military possesses a lot of military satellites. Basically immune to any ground catastrophe, it is expected that military communication satellites would provide the government with the ability to communicate in any situations. All satellites were protected by advanced encryption and protective systems against interceptions. 3. Uninterruptable Communication Systems is an underground network of communications which was designed to withstand during warfare. It will provide communication facilities between citizens of People’s Republic of China.

The program intended to develop a capability to analyze data carried on communications networks like the Internet and Satellite Communication. It was intended to track entities using communication methods such as cell phones, e-mail, faxes, computers, satellite communications and even bank accounts. The Program is conducted through 5th Main Directorate of MSS and 102nd Cyberwarfare Brigade, PLA Strategic Force. The program is conducted by using several intelligence facilities such as Lining Gap, Vortex Satellite, and Qingdao Air Force Base through internets. The program is aimed to deter and analyze people who accused to make a plot against the People’s Republic of China. The program is also intended to neutralize future enemy of the state domestically and internationally. It is estimated that the program will analyze various key people from various occupation such as defense industries, military officials, intelligence officials, even high-government officials (Ministers, Prime Ministers or head of state). Meanwhile, there is an exclusion policy for friendly nations such as USSR and Socialist Ottoman Empire. The program is planned to record the targets’ communications (faxes, emails, phones, and video conferences) and private data (border crossing, bank accounts and travel itineraries). To prevent detection, the MSS and 102nd Cyberwarfare Division will frequently increase the security of its computers and technologies which used on Trailblazer Project. They will also modify their computer locations and data to avoid being detected. Artificial Intelligence will also take part on this project and accounted for 76% of the operations. The results of this program will be sent into 4th Main Directorate of MSS which handles Human Intelligence for further actions to deter the enemies of People’s Republic.

Denzo commonwealth Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I like ur military views,, in the world of orbis people have forgotten about the power of strong leadership and law and order. Clearly ur upkeepin these values in ur wise nation, I adore ur power well done. I feel like in Orbis strong dictators with a strategic plan should stick together because Its the only way we can stop those Marxist pests. I offer u dear Lord the opportunity of the imperialist dominance pact. It is a pact of countries that want power and wealth to rule the world again. We want to make a good future, we shall show the power of the cross. May God bless u and may ur enemies eat the lead from ur rifles Foreign affairs office Denzo commonwealth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
