China's air defense exercise tests military hardware

Thousands of Chinese troops battled on the coast in Jinan city, Shandong Province, as they entered the final stage of a five-day military exercise. Dubbed "Vanguard 2010", the drill is designed to test system formation, reconnaissance and ground to air capabilities.

Seven types of ground-to-air weapons were tested in this exercise. Some of them are developed and manufactured by China's own technology. They can operate in extreme weather conditions, and have the capacity to shoot down low-flying targets.

This automatic cannon is controlled by advanced computer systems, and can detect objects with long-range radar. It can also easily turn 360 degrees, allowing it to locate and disarm three different sets of flying objects simultaneously.

"This weapon's strength is that it moves and reacts very quickly. It can detect, aim and shoot at targets within seconds. The vehicle can also travel at great speed."

Some vehicles are equipped with not only canons, but mid to long-range missiles. This greatly boosts the vehicle's ground-to-air defense capability, enabling it to target almost any object in the air.

"The entire missile system includes a search-and-direct vehicle and two missile launchers. Each launcher is equipped with four missiles."

This year's drill consists of two phases. The first phase ended on Thursday, with exercises including emergency evacuation, strategy, ground-to-air attacks and evacuation of command posts.

The second phase ends on Saturday. It includes testing of air defense abilities in a complicated electromagnetic environment.

anyway vietnam is shit county with weak minded people that they totally know nothing about industry and tech. but they should say we know. Lmao, go get an engineering degree. u called ship is that man swimming in south china sea with ak47 on their back. come on, say something mature. and vietnam gotta missile except sam2 that imported in last century? anyone dont tell them that cold war is a past? and vietnam tanks is just copy of type 55/65, and now they gotta them modified but still weak.

@KatiushaVN4 u know tech? im engineer dotor, what r u? ok ,since u talk about tech in military, let me say that russia nowadays cant have an own construction engineering and automobile .

how many PIC and CNC machine russia import from china every year? u gotta no idea. usually high tech means wire ,super computer, laser and other optical parts.

we r the export champion last year, even if we sell the cheapest and lowest quality machine to vietnam and russia ,cuz both of ur poor

I can list countless things that China copies from Russia's technology. I'm talking about aircraft, missiles, tanks, and ships. Chinese are ungrateful and can lie with straight face without feeling shameful

@yingyu0502

Don't ever think that China gave Russia the technology to build submarines. That's the other way around you stupid Chinese. In the past, Soviet handed over lots of military technology to China. That's why now China can build its own military stuff. And now you dare say something ungrateful and absolutely lie like that??? LOL You Chinese don't have a shit of your own. High-tech???? My ass LOL Give me a break!

[yingyu0502]

@KatiushaVN4 russia by high tech from china. u faggot. without machine and core from china do u think russia can sell submarine to u dwarf? vietnam shit hole.

[yingyu0502]

@KatiushaVN4 haha, viet gook. go suck ur mines. u r fucking subhuman since ancient time. who care about u piece of shit? no 1. and u want to know china tech? ok, when we nuke hanoi u gotta know it.

@willythewildwino they are powerful not technology or equipment wise but numbers and everyone knows war is more of a numbers game. still I won't say they are taking over but they sure are superpower.
