A clearer shot of the PL12: 😎
Pl-12, the Chinese active radar guided BVRAAM, now carried by J-10 fighter jet. 🙂
Wow, :diablo:
J-10 with PL12
Just like there’s no Malay fighter pilot in Chinese dominated RSAF…
I don’t know how Jane’s got its source but it did say the C802 didn’t detonate.

A preliminary Israel Navy investigation into the circumstances surrounding the missile strike suffered by the Sa’ar 5 Eilat-class missile corvette IN Hanit has acknowledged that the incident was largely the result of an intelligence failure that led to operational gaps.
Early indications are that the warhead of the Iranian-supplied Noor anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) that hit Hanit off Lebanon on 14 July did not detonate. Even so, the missile – fired by Hizbullah forces – killed four crew and inflicted severe damage to the ship’s flight deck and steering systems.
According to Major General Gadi Eisenkott, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) Chief of Operations, Hizbullah operatives received targeting information from the Lebanese Navy’s radar station in Beirut. “That is why we destroyed all the radar stations along the Lebanese shore immediately after the attack,” he said.
Israel has accused Iran of deploying military advisers alongside Hizbullah to enable the deployment and operation of the Noor system – a clone of the Chinese C-802/YJ-2 ‘Saccade’ radar-guided ASCM.
“From now on we have to assume that every weapon that exists in Iran has also been supplied to Hizbullah in Lebanon,” a senior IDF source told Jane’s. “We are prepared for more surprises,” said Maj Gen Eisenkot.

This president is already a limbed duck because his credibility is already bankrupted. His son in law is now being sued for inside trading and wife being questioned by prosecutor for taking SOGO shopping coupons, His saber rattling is nothing more than a trick to draw away the public’s focus from his scandal to something else.
C807=C802 + C701
Or coded: u guys happy guessing~~ 😀
But actually, with the further revised and further information, at least we know 2 things:
1 Israeli did detect the incoming ASM, only they reacted too late
2.the missile is NOT directly hit as previously claimed, probably being touched by CIWS before knock the SAAR V. so now, it seems indeed it’s C802
😀
Who stolen the limelight :p
The Israeli warship’s crew had only twenty seconds in which to identify the threat and respond?

An Israel Navy investigation into last Friday’s strike on the missile ship “Hanit” has found that the only fault was the lack of intelligence that Hizbullah had Iranian C-807 missiles. The investigation also found that the actions of the Hanit’s crew were based on information supplied by IDF Military Intelligence, and that there was no negligence in applying operational procedures.
The investigation found that at around 8 pm the Iranian-made missile was fired at the missile ship and exploded above it. The explosion and shock wave caused a fire and a hole in the vessel. Four crew were at first reported missing; they were later found dead.
According to the results of the investigation, in the absence of intelligence about anti-ship missiles, no such threat was defined in advance, and the missile ships’ systems were deployed in standby mode and not in ready-to-fire mode.
Although the ship’s defense systems spotted the incoming Iranian missile, the problem was cognitive. Because of the missile’s speed and the short distance of the ship from shore (16 kilometers), and because the crew was unprepared for this kind of threat, the radar and electronic warfare systems operators had only 20 seconds to realize that they were under attack by an enemy missile.
The probe also found that a greater disaster was only narrowly avoided. Hizbullah fired two missiles at the ship. One missile hit and destroyed a Cambodian vessel with an Egyptian crew sailing a few dozen kilometers from the Israeli missile ship. The second missile hit the Israeli warship. Luckily, for unknown reasons, Hizbullah did not fire a third missile. The assessment is that a third missile could have sunk the Israeli ship.

Is there another commercial ship sunk by another same type missile 60kms away? If so, then the C701 can’t do the job.

New horizon for Chinese Aviation, the Indonesia has ordered 15 Xinzhou60 light plane from XAC.
Chinese aircraft manufacturer receives record export order
Indonesia’s second largest airline is to buy 15 of China’s Xinzhou 60 aircraft, the biggest export order of the short and medium-range, 50-seater passenger aircraft to date.
China Aviation Industry Corporation I (CVIC I), manufacturer of the aircraft, has agreed the deal with Merpati Nusantora Airlines of Indonesia, sources with CVIC I said on Tuesday.
Under the contract, the first aircraft should be delivered in September and the rest by the end of 2007, said Hu Wenming, deputy general manager of CVIC I.
The first overseas order for the Xinzhou 60 came when Zimbabwe bought three of the aircraft last November, all of which were delivered by the end of last year. The company is currently processing overseas orders for 17 Xinzhou 60s.

When? Where?
Fujian province, no big casualties on the ground, so it’s Sunday.
Sad news coming again, another military plane, this time a J7 crashed into a Japanese partially owned factory, an old guard died on ground, the pilot ejected in time…
BTW, why must put DSI intakes in F22, that design no benefit on supersonic cruise & high Mach numbers.
