China unveils weapon developments

By Robert Hewson

A video produced to celebrate the recent achievements of the China Flight Test Establishment (CFTE) reveals a wealth of evidence for new Chinese weapons programmes and the pace of weapons systems development by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).

The official footage, which has now appeared on the internet, shows an entirely new class of air-to-surface missiles, airborne launch trials of the Kh-31 high-speed anti-radiation missile (ARM) and the PL-12 active radar beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM), heavy air-to-surface loads for the Chengdu J-10 and Shenyang J-11B fighters, plus extensive test and development activity with virtually every front-line combat aircraft in Chinese service.

Most intriguing is a new missile design believed to be designated KD-88. A few blurred images of a weapon labelled KD-88 have been seen prior to this but the CFTE film shows two distinct versions being trialled by Xian JH-7A attack aircraft. The missile is roughly 3.5 m long and powered by a small turbojet/turbofan engine with an underslung intake. Two different seeker types are fitted — one appears to be electro-optical (EO, potentially an imaging infrared seeker) while the other is either an active radar seeker or a passive RF-homing seeker for the defence suppression mission.

You are a fucking moron. Money they don't have? Are you fucking kidding me. Two New York cities being built every year in China, you are saying money they don't have. What the fuck do you know about national security. Have military might does not necessarily have to put to use. No one will try to jack you in Compton if they see you carrying a gun. Get out of your fucking cave already...!

It does not matter whether it is an exaggeration or not. China has its own right to develop national gun system as USA. Russia, UK, France did. And we all know that China have not thrown an atomic bomb on civilians. The ways of seeing from western viewpoint makes us blind. Chinese people do not have worse culture than the selfish USA....
