A high agile, high manoevrability point defence missile with a range of 15km against anti-ship missiles.<BR/><BR/>Control flaps are associated with four powder maneuver rockets at the center of gravity of the missile The system prevents a rupture of the missile under high-g maneuvers during trajectory corrections, and allows such maneuvers to be performed without losing aerodynamic performances, improving the precision of the impact on target. A standard launch of the Aster can include 90-degree trajectory changes.<BR/><BR/>Korean latest Aegis air warfare DDG uses the Raytheon RIM-116Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) for point defence. Range for RAM is 7.5km. It has a solitary goalkeeper CIWS as last ditch defence.<BR/><BR/>Type 051C uses the RIF/M to engage contacts over the radar horizon inc. sea skimming cruise missiles.<BR/><BR/>Type 052C uses the HQF-91M for point defence, allowing the CIWS 730 as a last ditch defence against sea skimming cruise missiles.<BR/><BR/>Goalkeeper claims of engaging cruise missiles within 5 seconds is overplayed as engagement range is too short, allowing 1 missile to destroy your ship if 3 were to be fired similtaneously at your ship.<BR/><BR/>Timur also reported that the Type 054A HHQ-9 SAM is a 12km verticaly launched variant of the SD-10 semi active radar guided missile. This is to be replaced by the PL-12 active radar guided missile with range extended to 18km.<BR/><BR/>Its good that PLA is following the US path where the Raytheon RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Point defence Missile is based on the AIM-9 sidewinder missile, from which it took the rocket motor, fuse and warhead.dlhhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217634437606075993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-11392695311526210212007-12-05T19:15:00.000-08:002007-12-05T19:15:00.000-08:00Taiwan has lately showcased their new anti-ship cr...Taiwan has lately showcased their new anti-ship cruise missile, Hsiung Feng 3, range of 250km, cruise speed of Mach 2 and atitude of 20 meters in terminal phase using active radar seeker. <BR/><BR/>Hsiung Feng 2 cruse missile have been upgraded to 160km, IR seeker with a terminal speed of Mach 1.5, enabling it to be a precision land attack cruise missile. 200 missiles have already being delivered to the ROCN & air force.<BR/><BR/>Reports of testing firing of Hsiung Feng 2-E, turbofan precision guided 1,000km cruise missile in 2004, with current plans to equip the forces with 500 missiles by 2015.dlhhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217634437606075993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-73097756113047937152007-12-05T18:56:00.000-08:002007-12-05T18:56:00.000-08:00The pilot situation awareness is made easier by al...The pilot situation awareness is made easier by all this network centric technology and data linked to his own plane processors will allow him to have first shot, first kill capability.<BR/><BR/>Thats what makes the F-22 Raptor so deadly as within a few seconds, he can fire his BVR missile while his opponent is still analysing the situation. <BR/><BR/>AESA AWACS will provide the firing cues to his missile and might even direct his BVR missile till the missile's own active radar seeker kicks in, allowing the Raptor to be invisible to his enemy as he never has to turn on his own AESA radar.<BR/><BR/>As the AWACS plane can detect and track the enemy hundreds of km away, the enemy plane own BVR missile cannot destroy the AWACS plane which is too far away.dlhhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217634437606075993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-67623780425466463622007-11-28T19:30:00.000-08:002007-11-28T19:30:00.000-08:00They do have their own data link and KJ-2000 (AESA...They do have their own data link and KJ-2000 (AESA AWACS) already. It's all a matter of time before the network centric warfare develops. Besides, they need not only hardware upgrade, but software upgrade. The pilots need to learn how to fly a plane with new level of situation awareness.Fenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351872761178293322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-64541172506543181062007-11-28T03:08:00.000-08:002007-11-28T03:08:00.000-08:00I agree with you.

PLA needs a 5th generation aircraft which Russia is unable to sell. <BR/><BR/>PLA urgently needs to upgrade her current aircraft with AESA radar, AESA AWACS, link 16 and optimise her network centric warfare skills. Current air supremacy strategies is all about situation awareness which all this components are essential to achieve it.dlhhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217634437606075993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-88236753657678804812007-11-27T19:24:00.000-08:002007-11-27T19:24:00.000-08:00I think your analyses are more believable and trus...I think your analyses are more believable and trustworthy than Pinkov's.
