China's leading missile developer exhibited a container-type sea defense combat system at the ongoing Airshow China in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province, with outstanding mobility and capability to disguise itself which could effectively improve the country's coastal defense capabilities.
Displayed at the exhibition hall was a missile launch system in the shape of a container with naval camouflage, which was developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), the country's largest manufacturer of cruise missiles. The container is about 13 meters long, 2.3 meters wide and 2.5 meters high.
The missile launch system can integrate an operating station, a power station and missile launchers into the container. No matter what platform it is mounted on, the missile launch system does not need an external power source. Its own power supply can fully meet the operational needs.
"The launch system can connect with various independent detection and command units such as early warning aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft and shore-based radars. It could receive target information from those external sources through encrypted data," a representative from the No.3 Research Institute under CASIC said.
Based on the information from the detection unit, the command unit could formulate a combat plan automatically. The command unit then sends the instructions to the launch system. The detection unit and command unit can also provide operational information support for the launch system. After making some adjustments, the operators then confirm the plan and send the order to each station as well as the firing parameters to each launch unit.
"The launch system does not require a lot of personnel. It only takes four people to complete the whole launch process," the representative said.

Only the Chinese could have thought of that. And with China having so many commerical ships and fishing vessels lurking around the high seas, no wonder the USA is paranoid and giving ASEAN members US$15 million each to fight piracy and illegal fishing. But we know that is not the objective. Something more sinister is in the works.
ReplyDeleteThe Indians are very frightened, QUAD or no QUAD. They think that the Indian Ocean is their Hindu Ocean!
ReplyDeleteThe American pirates using American Coast Guard patrol boats attacked Chinese fishing boats in international waters off Latin America. They boarded Chinese fishing boats claiming to be searching for drugs and illegal fishing.
ReplyDeleteThey have no rights to do that and a few Chinese fishing boats rammed at the American pirates sending them away.
The Americans are not only the world's number on terrorists but also the world's number one pirates. Luckily the Pacific Islanders refused to let the American pirates to patrol their waters or soon their waters would belong to the American pirates.
Would any Asean states want to invite the American pirates to patrol Asean waters?
When the Indians are in the BRICS, they spoke with authority as equal partners. They can make decisions to protect their own interests.
ReplyDeleteWhen in the QUAD, the Indians would have to take orders from the Americans and be told what to do and what not to do. American interests come first.
Anyway, the Americans already are in control of the Indian Ocean with their military base in Diego Garcia. And the Indians pretend to look the other way, knowing that the Americans would tell them to scoot off if they dare to protest. The Indian Ocean is owned by the Americans.
China read this and claimed the South China Sea to prevent it from being taken over by the Americans.
