hallo84I may have a point there…A look from the plan view could reveal if there really is house. Thanks for correction
So there really is two 094?
Could be three… One based up north.
The thing is these subs are still fitting out, thus may attribute to the difference in height of the sail.
But what for sure, these are not 092 since there is no curvature on top of sail.
hallo84In any case there is more 093 and 094 pics here, uploaded by tphuang. The 094 here appears to be the one that might have the tail appendage.
The tail appendage is also apparent on one of the official poster pics of 093.
I’m thinking it’s a mod on all new hulls…
hallo84Again, they are offering a new variant of F-8IIM now that is a lot different from the one in 1996 and it’s still nowhere to J-8F. I don’t know why you keep on insisting that it’s same as the one from 1996.
Looking even back in 1996, it just had a test flight, that doesn’t mean it was actually ready to be delivered then. They were still developing it. You can make your own judgment on whether you think J-8H (which first flew in 1995) is better or F-8IIM. I’ve made my. PLAAF sure put orders in for J-8H but none for F-8IIM.
yeah, with old J-7s, what a surprise.
Do you know how good J-8F is?
and funny that you mentionned, JH-7A, cause FBC-1 as explained by Crobato is also downgraded compared to JH-7A.
I think you have a wrong concept of Chinese export system. China never develop a monkey version as in the case of USSR where the plane is a true downgrade of capabilities. Chinese only offer different systems for export than the systems intended for PLA. But it does not mean that Export product is always a bastadized version and on the contrary Chinese export products were mostly more advanced than domestic counterparts due to imposed performence requirements of export customers while PLA was cutting cost. (ex PLZ45 for Kuwait vs Type 83 for PLA,)
FBC-1 came before Jh-7A was ever developed. FBC-1 was promoted for export in 1998 but due restricted utility, performance and fact that even PLA had rejected it, FBC-1 was obsolete for the export market.
F-8IIM if it was even intended for export came before J-8F was finalized. Plus J-8IIM had the advantage of being publicized by the Russians.
If the much touted J-8IIM could not attract any customers how would J-8F do any better?
hallo84China illegally uses Canadian engine for combat helicopter
What utter ********. 😡 And for those who still doubt that Agusta provided the most Western assistance on the project, the final couple of paras may prove enlightening.
Dual use item. Heh alot of Chinese military helicopter use P&W engines and if P&W want to supply anymore engines to china they’ll continue denying. Btw there was a medium civie chopper which China preposed as the common airframe with the Z-10 in order to apply for the dual use contract. But surprise surprise it never surfaced.
No one seems to care muchabout the heli engines. Just one article won’t spark much interest compare to the countless China threat theory and the sensational espionage claims.
Don’t lose any sleep over it.

勁旅亮相 武器攝魂
武器大觀
昨天是中華民國96年雙十國慶，也是陳水扁總統8年任期最後一次國慶大會，國防部特別以「國防表演」名義迴避「閱兵」的爭議，在昨天國慶大典上向國人展示國軍現役的精良武器及部隊。
其中，首度在國人面前公開展示，由國軍自製研發的天弓三型地對空防空飛彈和雄風三型超音速反艦飛彈，最受各界矚目。另外，包括雲豹八輪甲車、海軍陸戰隊突擊登陸艇，以及各式現役飛彈，也都吸引在場觀禮人士目光。
而平常難得一見的國軍特種部隊，昨也以各式服裝、配備亮相。這些國軍健兒，在作戰時往往要執行最艱困的反恐、滲透、突擊及偵蒐任務，堪稱「精銳中的精銳、勁旅中的勁旅」。
昨天最大的遺憾是，原定在總統府前定點跳傘的陸軍傘兵神龍小組，搭直升機在總統府上空盤旋待命近兩小時，最後因雲層低於跳傘容許高度，取消任務。

雄風三型超音速 反艦飛彈
國防部軍備局中山科學研究所研發生產的「雄風三型超音速反艦飛彈」，具有超過二倍音速的飛行能力，可迅雷不及掩耳攻擊在海面上的船艦，由於其射程可達130公里，因此在台灣海峽上配備雄三反艦飛彈的巡防艦，均具封鎖出入中國上海港船艦的能力。
目前海軍計劃把雄三反艦飛彈部署在成功級飛彈巡防艦上，我國也將是繼中國、印度後，第三個擁有超音速反艦飛彈的亞洲國家。
有效射程：30到130公里

hallo8410-17 knots don’t seem like a nuclear powered sub.
Even Rubis can manage over 25 knots…
Maybe just an AIP ship?
hallo84Look at this thread debating about What Pinkov said nuclear strategic H-6K, you know it’s really himself in the debating with some Chinese forumers. You can see his previous point that H6K is possible a supersonic bomber was totally rebuffed upside down. And funny enough, in this page#68 post, Pinkov now says H6K is not a strategic bomber, but why in Kanwa, the title for H6K report is “China attains nuclear strategic strike capability”:eek:
LOL his over simplicity in military affairs is totally exposed here plus his attitude is pretty pathetic to say the least.
I have always suspected that Pinkov phones into the Chinese talk shows here in Canada to express his anti chinese prejudice. Now it seems more like him.
(How can someone be prejudice against himself I have yet to comprehend)
hallo84Kanwa editor Pinkov personally registered a handle in Chinese military board to face off the Chinese military community. :diablo:
http://www.fyjs.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=111603&fpage=1&toread=&page=1
LOL just some american idiot pretending to be pinkov…
His argument that he is somehow he’s not Chinese just because he recieved his citizenship is rather funny. If he check his passport it would state his place of birth to be China. Especially if he applies for any official documentation he would be listed as Chinese Canadian. Emphasis on the Chinese identity pretty obvious.
BTw because there is overwhelming presence of Asians in Canada that caucasians have aquired the ability to distinguish Chinese from korean, vietnamese and Japanese. No one is going to mistake him for Japanese even if he pretends to not understand Chinese.
hallo84I had a thought, that the tube might actually be an MHD propulsion unit for testing. There had been rumors that China appears interested to test this concept. Its a bit far fetched, but remember, when the tail TAS first appeared on the Victor III series, many thought it might be an MHD or caterpillar drive.
Hmmm wouldn’t MHD propulsion denerate a high magnetic field?
Wouldn’t that be a critical disadvantage of the system? The things is if this is prototype MHD, why would it be on the 094 and not say a late 091 or 093 to better test the concept?
Seems odd to me…
hallo84Quick and dirty analysis:
http://geimint.blogspot.com/2007/10/chinas-new-ssbn-fleet.html
I don’t think that’s a pumpjet, it looks like a towed array fairing sitting atop the tail section. The two at Huludao would appear to be newer vessels, as they are riding a lot higher in the water than the Xiaopingdao example, suggesting that they are still being fitted out.
Why fit TAS on 094 and not 093? Unless PLAN is much more confident on the 094 design and assumes that 094 will generate less acoustic signature than 093?
hallo84as for the F-2, here in Japan, not too many people really like it… we really feel that it was a design forced onto Japan by the US.
Well Japan did want another F-16…
With the money spent on the F-2 they might as well start from scratch and design a new airframe which is really what enlarging the F-16 entails.
hallo84Does the ALCM on the inner pylon look different?
The missiles seem to have the same profile to me maybe just lighting differences. Too blurry to tell for sure but the missiles are said to be the DH-10 LACM…
hallo84Is PLA going to buy Mi-26???
Rumor of an initial order of 6. Even if not ordered by PLA I’m sure there would be commercial applications that would see Mi-26 enter Chinese aviation.
hallo84So a Russian is supposely being “influenced/inspired” by the Japanese to publish articles based on Chinese sources in a Canadian magazine?
Doesn’t this all sound a bit paranoid?
I really don’t know how Chinese intellectual property laws apply to “Japanese-influenced/Japanese-inspired” Russians who write for Canadian publications?
Pinkovs analysis is mostly worthless but he does have sources within the Russian military industrial complex so his reports on Chinese military imports are roughly accurate. Although He is routinly proven wrong on stipulated Russian involvement in indigenous Chinese projects.
Pinkov only have so many fact to throw at the target audience but is required to fill a quota to earn his paycheck. His self annotated analysis is just filler and rehash of conspiracy theories already floating about. This is also true for many analysis out in public media.
