China is fighting for supremacy in the skyLargely thanks to deliveries from Russia and the establishment of licensed and then independent production of fourth and 4+ generation aircraft of Russian design, the process of modernizing the PLA Air Force in the late XX - early XXI centuries was carried out at the fastest pace and with the highest efficiency. In the short and medium term, the PRC will limit its air force fleet, which is optimal for a major industrialized power, with a total number of 1000 combat aircraft. At the same time, the main attention will be paid to increasing the share of aviation complexes of 4+ and 5th generations up to 70 - 80 percent.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The PLA Air Force is headed by the commander-in-chief, who is one of the deputy defense ministers of the PRC. The total strength of the Air Force personnel is approximately 330 thousand people.

The main aviation branches are fighter, fighter-bomber, bomber, military transport and reconnaissance. The PLA Air Force also includes ground-based air defense forces, including the formation of anti-aircraft missile systems (ZRS) and barreled anti-aircraft artillery, as well as airborne troops *.

The operational association of the PLA Air Force is the Air Army, which includes several formations and units. A tactical unit is an air division, it consists of three air regiments, an air regiment of three squadrons, a squadron of three links, a link of four to five aircraft.

The air force is divided into groups that are part of the seven military districts. The number of divisions in the military district depends on the size of the latter. For example, in the largest of them - Guangzhou and Shenyansky - there are seven air divisions each.

STRUCTURE OF AVIATION PARK

During the period from 1995 to 2012, the number of Air Force personnel decreased from 400 to 330 thousand people. The total number of combat aircraft has decreased from 5300 to 1693. The number of bombers reduced from 630 to 82. Significant changes in quantitative and qualitative terms occurred in the fighter-bomber and ground attack aircraft. Aircraft support troops (direct aviation support) Q-5 were withdrawn from its structure, of which 1995 units were counted in 500 in the year, and in the Q-5C / D / E modification to 2005, the year remained to 300 units. In 2012, there were 99 reconnaissance aircraft JZ-8F.

Front-line fighter aircraft from 1985 to 2012 year was reduced from 4000 to 890 machines. Airplanes of the second and partly of the third generation were withdrawn from service. In total, the Air Force has 33 air divisions: three bomber, four fighter-bomber, 24 fighter and two transport.

STRONGER AVIATION

Despite the fact that a fairly significant number of third-generation fighters such as Jian-8 (552 units) remain in the fighter aircraft fleet, the basis of its combat power is made up of light Jiang-10 and heavy Su-27 multi-purpose fighters made in Russia and China. The latter received the Chinese designation Jian-11. As well as imported from Russia multi-purpose aircraft Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2. Su-27SK (Jian-11) of different modifications belongs to 4-generation airplanes, while Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2 are considered as aircraft of the “4 +” generation.

There were 2012 units in the 340 aircraft fleet in the year, of which: Jian-10А / S - more than 200, Jian-11В / ВS - more than 70, purchased in Russia Su-30МКК - 73, Su-27SK - 43 units. In terms of the number of groups of fourth and "4 +" planes, the PRC generation ranks second in the world after the United States, overtaking Russia, which has no more than 230 of such machines.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL FIGHTERS JIAN-10 AND JIAN-11

In the middle of the 80-s of the last century, the People's Republic of China adopted a program to develop a new 4-generation fighter. In the future, the specified technical task directed the efforts of Chinese developers towards the creation of a multi-functional machine. Russian specialists were involved in the project. Subsequently, Russia began to supply advanced equipment of this type, the AL-10 FN with 31 kg, to equip the Jian-12700 and its modifications to the People's Republic of China. The first flight of Jian-10 took place on 22 March, March 1998. After the completion of the full cycle of state tests in July 2004, he began to enter into service with the PLA Air Force.

The main tactical, technical and flight characteristics of the Jian-10 multi-role fighter: maximum take-off weight 19277 kg, maximum speed 2,2 M, combat radius with refueling in air 1600 km, without refueling in air - 550 km. The aircraft has 11 suspension assemblies. It is equipped with a wide range of weapons, can carry a combat load up to 6000 kg. Gun-guns are represented by the built-in 30-mm automatic cannon. The aircraft has a modern on-board radio-electronic equipment (avionics): an armament control system including an integrated NPIET KL-10 radar sighting system with an on-board phased-array radar, as well as an optical radar station. It can be equipped with ventral containers for various purposes.

The most modern machines in the PLA Air Force fleet are the Su-27 and Su-30 aircraft, delivered from Russia or manufactured under a Russian license. The development of their production technology in China for a decade reduced the cycle of creating aircraft 4-th generation. In 1998, with the help of Russian specialists and according to the Russian project, the workshops at the aircraft building plant in the city of Shenyang were re-equipped for the licensed assembly of aircraft of this type. Several groups of Chinese engineers and technicians have been practicing at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Production Association named after Yu.A. Gagarin.

The licensed program, designed for 10 years, provided for the assembly of 200 aircraft in the PRC, 105 of which was to be assembled from vehicle sets supplied from Russia. However, the Chinese side, in violation of contractual obligations after the assembly of the first batch of aircraft, refused to continue the production of aircraft from Russian components, adjusting their domestic production completely. The independent Chinese version of the Su-27SK received the designation Jian-11. In the future, China, refusing the help of Russian specialists, began to develop and modernize Jian-11. All innovations make it possible in the first approximation to assign the multi-functional fighter Jian-11В to the generation “4 +”.

With 2007, the small-scale production of the aircraft in this configuration began, and it entered service with the PLA Air Force. However, due to a number of problems associated with the operation of the machine, mainly related to the WS-10 engine, which had a very low resource-free operation, it was decided to re-equip both previously produced and under construction aircraft of this modification by the Russian AL-31F engines.

The work on the creation of Jian-10, as well as the establishment of licensed production of Jian-11А in China and the further independent development of the basic model, created a powerful foundation to begin research and development on the design of a fifth-generation multi-purpose fighter. Successful implementation of this project will provide China with the opportunity to become one of the great aviation powers of the world.

The prototype of the aircraft was first shown in January 2011 of the year during the official visit to the PRC of US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. According to aviation experts, the appearance and layout of the new Chinese multifunctional fighter under the designation Jian-20 is in many ways reminiscent of the multifunctional fighter of the Russian Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (RSK) MiG MFI 1.42. It is assumed that MiG specialists who participated in the development program for FC-1 and Chien-10 could have prevented the leakage of information on the 1.42 MFIs.

October 31 2012, the prototype of the lighter 5 generation Jian-31, similar to the American F-35 Lightning, was lifted into the air. It is intended to ensure air supremacy and to destroy land and sea targets. It is assumed that at its base will be created deck option for basing on aircraft carriers.

Currently, Beijing is negotiating the purchase of a batch of 26 ++ Russian Su-4 multi-role 35 fighter jets from 30, which is a transitional model between the latest version of the 5 Su and the promising T-50 35 generation aircraft. Having received the Su-20, China will be able to solve two tasks: on the one hand, before adopting Jian-22, to form an aviation group capable of almost equally opposing the American F-35 and F-XNUMX, and on the other, copying those systems and units of the Russian aircraft that bring it to the fifth generation.

Bombing Aviation

After the decommissioning of morally and physically obsolete fighter-bomber (attack aircraft) Nanchang Q-5 is practically the only representative of this kind of aircraft in the PLA Air Force is the 3 + generation Chien-Hung-7 in several modifications.

This type of machine was developed and adopted by the PLA Air Force during the period of the most intensive development of military-technical cooperation with the West. In appearance, layout and armament, the basic version of the aircraft is similar to the Anglo-French SEPECAT Jaguar. The first test sample of the aircraft took off in December 1988 of the year. In 2003, after significant revision, aircraft of this type, known as Block 2, were adopted by the Air Force. A later modification of the Jian-Hung-7A machine, capable of applying high precision weapon, entered the PLA Air Force combat units in 2004 year. In terms of combat capabilities, Jian-Hung 7А roughly corresponds to Panavia Tornado. It is believed that Jian-Hung-7 cannot withstand modern fighters on equal terms. They take part in almost all the peace missions of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), including the last 2013 in August.

EDUCATIONAL AVIATION

This kind of PLA Air Force is represented by the only type of reconnaissance aircraft JZ-8F. In 2012, their numbers were 99 units. In addition, eight long-range radar detection and control aircraft (AEWS) were adopted, in particular, four KJ-2000 and KJ-200. The Soviet military transport aircraft IL-200 MD was used as an air platform of the KJ-76 complex.

BOMBARD AVIATION

Bomber aviation is the main attack tool of the PLA Air Force. After the withdrawal of Xian Hoon-5 front-line bombers (Chinese replica of the famous Soviet IL-28) from the line-up, the only Xian Hoon-6 bomber, which can be called long-range, remained the only representative of bomber aviation in the Air Force. The release of the aircraft Hun-6 stopped on the grounds that they are not able to overcome modern air defense and guaranteed to deliver to the target bombs. Part of the aircraft Hun-6 bomber versions was finalized in the interests of its use as a tanker.

With the development of cruise missiles for various purposes in China, the Hong-6 aircraft were able to be used as missile carriers that could launch missiles without entering the air defense zone and fighters of a potential enemy. In the anti-ship variant they are capable of striking the ships belonging to the carrier strike group (AUG).

In 2006, the serial production of such anti-aircraft aircraft in the Hun-6M version was adjusted. They were equipped with search radar "type 245" and four underwing nodes of the CJ YJ-83 / YJ-62 suspension system (C803 / C602). According to some sources, the aircraft of this type is equipped with a system for following the terrain and in order to overcome the air defense system has the ability to fly at ultra-low altitudes. To increase the combat radius on it, an additional fuel tank was installed on the site of the bomb bay. In the Hun-6H version, the aircraft could be equipped with two KD-63 anti-ship missiles or advanced KD-88 cruise missiles.

In January, 2007, the newest carrier of the new-version Hun-6K cruise missiles with six underwing assemblies was lifted into the air. Thanks to the installation of two Russian turbojet D-30KP-20 engines manufactured by NPO Saturn, both the combat radius of the aircraft, which reached 3500 km, and its combat load, was increased.

The missile carriers of the Hoon-6 K and Hoon-6 M modifications are intended to perform two main tasks, namely: to launch nuclear strikes against strategic targets that are within the theater of military operations; and to destroy the AUG of the United States Navy at distant approaches to the waters of Taiwan. At the same time, it is planned that they will strike in groups in numbers from the squadron to the regiment. Their actions can be provided by DRLOU aircraft and hide behind jamming aircraft. Air-launched cruise missiles will be launched outside the zone of operation of air defense weapons and enemy fighter aircraft.

By the end of 2012, the Air Force had 82 Hun-6 of the latest modifications. In parallel with the modernization and development of Hun-6, Chinese specialists are conducting intensive research and development on the development of strategic rocket carriers of the new generation of Hun-8 and Hun-10. According to American sources, there are many elements in the design of both bombers borrowed from American aircraft B-2 Spirit and F-117. This is due, in particular, to the fact that Chinese designers managed to copy some of the American developments in the field of stealth technology due to the B-2 design documentation obtained by Chinese intelligence and cyber formations, as well as the study of fragments of an invisible fighter shot down by Yugoslav means of air defense F -117, which were subsequently transferred to China.

MILITARY TRANSPORT AVIATION

Chinese military theorists have concluded that as China’s economic and political influence in the world increases, its national interests become global in scope. Accordingly, the role of its Armed Forces is expanding, as well as the provision of China’s national security with military means should be able to protect these interests in remote regions of the globe. In addition, such capabilities are necessary for China to perform peacekeeping and other functions. The solution of all these tasks in the shortest possible time can be achieved mainly with the help of transport aviation, much of which in the PRC is part of the PLA Military Transport Aviation.

In the middle of 2012, the PLA military transport aviation had more than 320 aircraft. Compared to 1995, when it had the maximum number of aircraft, namely 600 units, the number of aircraft fleet BTA decreased by 280 aircraft due to the cancellation of morally and physically obsolete 1-th and 2-th generation, such as the Soviet " An-12 ”,“ Lee-2 ”,“ Il-14 ”,“ Il-18 ”, American -“ Bae Trident 1E / 2E ”. As a result, the third-generation Russian-made and domestic-made airplanes remained in the BTA PLA Air Force, of which: IL-76-10 units, Yun-8 heavy vehicles of various modifications — 53 units; medium - Tu-154-12 units., Tu-154MD - 4 units; lungs: Yun-11-20 units., Yun-12-8 units., Yun-5-17 units.

China pays special attention to the creation of heavy military-technical cooperation, multi-purpose air tankers and special purpose aircraft of its own design and production. Specialists from the ASTC named after O.K. Antonov, who provide Chinese colleagues with technical assistance in the development of heavy military-technical cooperation Yun-9. In terms of its flight and tactical and technical characteristics, it significantly surpasses both the PLA Air Force and the Yun-8 series aircraft with four WJ-6C turboprop engines, and the American C-130 “Hercules” machine widely used in the world, exported .

Significant success Chinese developers have achieved in the creation of a military transport aircraft (MTC) with the turbofan engines. Flight tests began of the first prototype of the heavy military-technical model Yun-20, which was first lifted into the air on January 26 2013. The new Chinese car has a take-off weight of more than 200 tons, a payload mass of 66 tons, has a fuselage length of 47 meters, a wingspan of 45 m, and a height of 15 m. Its configuration has a certain similarity to the American Boeing C-17 Globemaster and Russian IL-76. In a number of Western publications, information has passed that the wing design for Yun-20 and the technology for its production have been developed by the Ukrainian aircraft-building concern Antonov. According to Russian experts, Yun-20 is based on the unrealized project of the Soviet heavy military transport aircraft An-170. According to Chinese media reports, the new transporter surpasses the Russian IL-76MD series in all respects and corresponds to the deeply modernized IL-76MD-90А aircraft in terms of its main characteristics, and surpasses it in some of them.

At the same time, Chinese specialists are actively working on the creation of new high-performance turbofan engines, such as WS-18 and WS-20. Prior to their creation, Yun-20 will be equipped with Russian engines D-30KP2.

ARMAMENT PLANES

A serious impetus to the development and production of our own fairly advanced air-to-air missile systems was given when Chinese specialists gained access to missile armament for the Su-27 fighters manufactured under the Russian license and the Su-30MKK and Su imported from Russia. -30MK2 presented by the air-to-air UR P-27Р1 (ER1), P-27P (EP), P-27Т1 (ЭТ1), Р-27П (EP), Р-73Э and РВ XRN-77-ETNNXX, Р-XNUMXП (ЭП), Р-XNUMXЕ and РВ-РН-XNUMX and Р-XNUMX (ЭХXNUMX) ).

Synthesizing previously obtained Western technologies and Russian developments, the Chinese designers created a line of their own modern short-range, medium and long-range SDs such as PL-5 modifications A, D, C, E, comparable in tactical and technical characteristics with American SD AIM-9H, AIM-9L or AIM-9P, PL8. The rocket design and tactical and technical characteristics similar to the US MVDA AIM-132. Its peculiarity is that the fuel is virtually smokeless and does not leave an inertial trace, which makes it difficult to visually detect the missile. Medium-range SD include PL-11 and its improved version PL-11B with active radar homing head (РГСН) AMR-1, as well as PL-12 of various modifications. The PL-12 base rocket has an active end-guidance radar system and has a maximum range of applications up to 60 - 80 km.

Its modifications are represented by the PL12B / C / D missiles. The latest PL12D is the most advanced, representing an SD with active radar homing, optimized for placement on the internal suspension points of promising 5-generation aircraft systems, created using the stealth technology.

Long-range missiles are represented by the PL-15 multi-purpose air-to-air and air-to-radar missile. In terms of weight and dimensions, it resembles the latest modifications of the PL-12 rocket; it has an active-passive homing head and equipment that provides a two-way line of data exchange with the aircraft carrier. The maximum range of the rocket is about 100 km. At the final stage of development, the Chinese PL-21 ultra-long-range UD is being developed with a promising direct-flow rocket engine providing a range of applications up to 150 - 200 km.

Air-to-surface aircraft armament designed to equip Jiang-11B multi-purpose fighters is represented by the KD-88 guided missile, which is a development of the Russian SS of the same class X-29ТE. The means of destruction of targets located on the surface of the earth also include freely falling (gravitational) and adjustable bombs up to 500 kg with laser guidance and bomb cassettes that are included in the Jian-11 weapon system.

Missiles bomber aircraft represented by line anti-ship missiles (RCC) YJ-6 (C-601) KD-63, C-301, C-101, YJ-82, YJ-83 / YJ-62 (C803), C602, designed to equip long-range bomber Han-6 latest modifications. Chinese developers are paying serious attention to the creation of air-based cruise missiles for various purposes. The most advanced of them at the present time is a long-range air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) CJ-10A long-range (2500 km). She may have a nuclear warhead.

COMBAT TRAINING

The goals and objectives of training and combat training in the new conditions were specified in the Basic Principles of Military Training and Evaluation adopted in 2009. This document emphasizes that the main emphasis of combat training of military personnel should be on joint operations, with the participation of all types of troops (troops), joint training, joint training, which should be aimed at training military men (commanders) having a flexible strategic thinking and operational talent, allowing for effective joint operations in network-centric wars.

The Basic Principles outlines four guiding principles: adapt to the revolutionary changes taking place in military affairs; prepare for the violent obstruction of the proclamation of independence of Taiwan; actively integrate advanced weapons and military equipment; in the course of planning, organizing and conducting exercises (training sessions), do not reduce their realism for the sake of ensuring greater safety.

New training programs have been developed for air academies and flight schools, as well as short-term refresher courses, in which up to 60 percent of military personnel are trained. In accordance with these programs, the time spent on flight training, as well as the duration of tactical exercises during one flight, have been increased.

The number of training and combat aircraft from 2005 has increased approximately 2,5 times. During the flight training, the new L-15 training and combat aircraft, developed with the participation of Russian specialists, were actively used. The annual flight time of fighter, fighter-bomber and bomber aviation pilots reached 150 hours, and military transport more than 200 hours. At the same time, the number of exercises performed during one training flight increased. If earlier only one or two educational tasks were set, now there are three - four. For example, the development of elements of long-range air missile combat and close maneuverable air combat with the use of rocket and small arms weapons; practicing the skills of conducting fire, jamming and maneuverable counteraction against air defense weapons; practicing the skills of searching for, detecting ground (sea) mobile and stationary targets, accomplishing aiming and using guided and uncontrolled aviation weapons.

In the interests of combat training and education, joint exercises of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member countries, as well as drills and exercises on a bilateral basis, are also actively used. In all SCO “Peaceful Mission” exercises, starting from 2003, a group of Chinese aviation was involved, which included, in addition to army helicopters Z-9 and Mi-17, a division of Jian-Hung 7A Flying Leopard fighter-bombers. The last exercise, held in Russia from 27 July to 15 August 2013, was also attended by fighters-bombers of this type from the 31-th aviation regiment of the 11-th aviation division of the Shenyang military district.

BASE SYSTEM

The Air Force has an extensive airfield network with more than 400 airfields, of which 350 has a hard surface. Their operational capacity makes it possible to provide with excess not only the permanent basing of assigned aviation units (formations) and their dispersal in the event of a threat of enemy attack, but also the ability to disperse aviation groups after their operational deployment. As a rule, an aviation regiment is based at each aerodrome, less often an aircraft division with a predominance of the same type of aircraft. This facilitates their maintenance and pre-flight training.

The main aerodrome and two to three aerodromes of dispersal with their infrastructure constitute the aviation base, which is an integral part of the logistics system. The personnel of the bases ensures the operational readiness of aerodromes, solves the tasks of logistics, technical and certain types of combat support.

Given the presence of an extensive aerodrome network, which makes it possible to maneuver forces and means of aviation, China can now achieve more than twice the numerical superiority in aviation over any potential adversary and in any strategic direction along the perimeter of national borders.

    China has only one flight personnel more than we have the officer corps in the Ministry of Defense. So, the new Minister of Defense needs to draw conclusions !!! After the collapse of Serdyukov’s Air Force academies and flight schools, everything needs to be restored from scratch! the destruction of what our grandfathers created for decades !!! And now we have to create everything and spend huge amounts of money on restoration, but the most important loss is the faculty of these institutions !!!

        2 390 000 people in active service; Legislation provides for military duty for men from 18 years of age; Volunteers are accepted until 49 years. The age limit for a soldier in an army reserve is 50 years. In wartime, theoretically (without taking into account restrictions on material support), up to 400 000 000 people can be mobilized. Moreover, de facto - selection in the PLA, even for the most unprincipled positions - on a competitive basis, a couple of dozen people per place, that is, we are talking about 2 390 000 people who are qualitatively and intellectually - the cream of Chinese society.

        Interesting Facts:

        - The PLA cannot serve those young people on whose body there are tattoos. The ban included tattoos with a diameter larger than 2 cm, located on the "visible" parts of the body (given the shirt with a short sleeve), as well as more than 3 cm - in places hidden under clothing. According to authorities, any tattoos on the body of a rookie spoil the image of the “most powerful and disciplined” army in the world.

        - According to the 2006 directive of the year, the country's military schools are now closed to those who suffer from snoring. “Permanent snoring can disrupt the normal life of other cadets and adversely affect their military training,” the new rules for admission to military schools say.

    For China, of course, I’m glad, but not very much for China. And after all, all of their aviation with our assistance.
    Not long ago there was an article about the fleet. The same everyone who paid was armed. And now we don't need to talk about the preserved technologies and industries. Empty it. We have saved capacities and a donut hole, China has merged technologies and the second after the USA air fleet. Truly "Helping your neighbor build a house do not destroy yours"

    Quote: At present, China can achieve more than twofold numerical superiority in aviation over any potential adversary and in any strategic direction along the perimeter of national borders.

    Russia, with its own hands, contributes to the creation (near by itself) of a powerful aviation potential of its eastern neighbor. And given the historical experience, not always friendly towards us. Increasingly, worried Russian politicians are calling for attention to the growing power of the Chinese dragon. But the country's leadership does not seem to sense an increasing threat.

    Comrades, do not panic! Even in this article it is written that the number of aircraft will be 1630 units. but most likely even less. Total we get for one la for more than 20 people. For comparison, we have about 2000 aircraft and 7000 people, by the year 20 there will be 10000. So, the number of personnel suggests that at least half of it has a distant relation to aviation. Maybe the planes can be rolled by hand. The United States can not be cited as an example, since more than a third of the army, including strategic nuclear forces, belongs to the air force.

    However, there are no miracles, in the presence of some progress, the Chinese army still needs to really look at things. The Air Force also takes into account air defense, with serious superiority in people the superiority in technology is not so strong, which indicates a different organizational structure and yet about not dimensionless financial opportunities, a new weapon is expensive. You can look at their reserves but we must take into account that from this they feed 10 times more people. China needs an army at its quarrel with all its neighbors, and it is extremely unlikely that in case of war he will have to fight on one front, perhaps the least problems they have with the North so far.

    Interestingly, do we buy anything from China from armaments for comparison? For some reason, I was interested in the Chinese missile systems, which they copied from the Americans ...
    As for Chinese aviation, I think that the first echelon of a possible attack will be strike drones and outdated aircraft to bleed the air defense missile reserve ... In addition, while the PLA air force fighters have a small shoulder of patrol without refueling, they still can not carry additional hanging tanks ..

    The saddest thing is that the Chinese are now literally taking on everything technologically, while continuing to borrow technology, they have already achieved a lot, and they have no competitors in terms of the speed of their implementation. So really, it will be much more dangerous when they learn how to make competent engines ... Pen .. we already regretted that they concentrated their production on them! And the fact that we supplied them with airplanes and air defense systems was, at all risks, completely justified, and saved our industry in many ways!

    Yun-20 was another important step in the rise of China. The significance of this aircraft for the Chinese Air Force and national interests are taking on a global scale.

    Aircraft Y-20 is designed for the transport of goods weighing up to 66 tons. The practical ceiling of the Chinese aircraft is 13 thousand meters. Probably, the military transport aircraft Xian Y-20 can reach speeds of up to 830 kilometers per hour and, when fully loaded, fly to a distance of up to 4,4 thousand kilometers.

Bam expand, immediately increase tactical weaponry across the entire line of troops. Only sell old technologies with a bookmark, they won't make engines even for 20 years, there is no school, so grandmothers from narrow-eyed people will go all the same, they sell su 35 in vain, or simplify it to indecency when selling, this is for setting up from su 27 2000s, for everything has to be paid, they will be respected, especially since China is no longer a sales market, it is a competitor, and without a pair of lards, Russia will not die, but will get an ace in the air and a head start of 10 years.

    According to the predictions of Orthodox saints, China will conquer us right up to the Urals. It is not too late to focus on tactical nuclear weapons (including nuclear mines). Create powerful aviation groups, restore fortified areas. Showing the Chinese people that if they win, they will get the nuclear desert. Although so far in the Kremlin, traitors are all empty wishes. It was these Judas who armed the Chinayoz with our own weapons.

    As the saying goes "God forbid." The prophecy of the holy elder.
    SCHIARCHIMANDRITE SERAPHIM (TYAPOCHKIN) FROM RAKITNY, 1977
    During the memorable conversation, a young woman from the Siberian city was present. The elder told her: "You will accept a martyrdom at the hands of the Chinese at the stadium of your city, where they will drive the Christian residents and those who disagree with their rule." This was an answer to her doubt about the elder's words that almost all of Siberia would be captured by the Chinese. The elder said what was revealed to him about the future of Russia, he did not give dates, he only emphasized that the time of completion of what was said was in the hands of God, and much depended on how the spiritual life of the Russian Church would be formed, how strong faith in God in Russians would be people, what will be the prayer feat of believers. The elder said that the collapse of Russia, despite the apparent strength and rigidity of power, will happen very quickly. First, the Slavic peoples will be divided, then the union republics: the Baltic, Central Asian, Caucasian and Moldavia will fall away. After this, the central government in Russia will weaken even more, so that the autonomous republics and regions will begin to separate. Further will go even greater collapse: the authorities of the Center will cease to recognize in reality certain regions that will try to live independently and will no longer pay attention to decrees from Moscow. The biggest tragedy will be the capture of Siberia by China. This will not happen by military means: as a result of the weakening of power and open borders, the Chinese will masses move to Siberia, buy real estate, enterprises, apartments. Through bribery, intimidation, contracts with those in power, they gradually subjugate the economic life of cities. Everything will happen so that one morning the Russian people living in Siberia will wake up ... in the Chinese state. The fate of those who remain there will be tragic, but not hopeless. The Chinese brutally crack down on all attempts at resistance. (Therefore, the elder predicted martyrdom at the stadium of the Siberian city of many Orthodox and patriots of the motherland). The West will contribute to this creeping conquest of our land and in every way support China's military and economic power out of hatred of Russia. But then they will see a danger for themselves, and when the Chinese try to seize the Urals by military force and move on, they will by all means prevent it and may even help Russia in repelling the invasion from the East. Russia must withstand this battle, after suffering and complete impoverishment, it will find the strength in itself to perk up. And the coming revival will begin in the lands conquered by the enemies, among the Russians who remained in the former republics of the Union. There, Russian people realize that they have lost, they recognize themselves as citizens of that Fatherland, which still lives, and wish to help it rise from the ashes. Many Russians living abroad will begin to help restore life in Russia ... Many of those who can escape from persecution and persecution will return to the original Russian lands to fill the abandoned villages, cultivate neglected fields, and use the remaining undeveloped subsoil. The Lord will send help, and despite the fact that the country will lose the main deposits of raw materials, they will find both oil and gas on the territory of Russia, without which a modern economy is impossible. The elder said that the Lord would allow the loss of vast lands granted to Russia, because we ourselves could not use them worthily, but only dirtied, spoiled ... But the Lord will leave for Russia those lands that became the cradle of the Russian people and were the basis of the Great Russian state. This is the territory of the Great Moscow Principality of the XNUMXth century with access to the Black, Baltic and North Seas. Russia will not be rich, but still it will be able to feed itself and force to reckon with itself. To the question: "What will happen to Ukraine and Belarus?"

      Those who in these peoples are against the union with Russia - even if they consider themselves believers - become servants of the devil. The Slavic peoples have a common destiny, and the reverend Fathers of Kiev-Pechersk will also say their weighty word - they, together with the host of Russian New Martyrs, will beg for a new Union of three fraternal peoples. Another question was asked - about the possibility of restoring the monarchy in Russia. The elder replied that this restoration must be earned. It exists as a possibility, not as a predetermination. If we are worthy, the Russian people will choose the Tsar, but this will become possible just before the accession of the Antichrist or even after him - for a very short time. "

    In terms of the number of aircraft groupings of the fourth and “4 +” generations, the People's Republic of China occupy the second place in the world after the USA, overtaking Russia, which has no more than 230 of such aircraft.


    The author is raving. Only the Su-27 is operational under 200, and the Su-27СМ will be stronger than far from the new Su-27СК or some simple thread Su-30МКК.

    All innovations allow, to a first approximation, to attribute the Jian-11В multi-functional fighter to the “4 +” generation.


    It is pointless to discuss what no one has seen. The Chinese, while the champions are just in the window.

    According to aviation experts, the appearance and layout of the new Chinese multifunctional fighter under the designation Jian-20 in many ways resembles the multifunctional fighter of the Russian Aircraft Corporation (RSK) MiG MFI 1.42. It is assumed that MiG specialists participating in the FC-1 and Jian-10 development programs could have leaked information on the 1.42 IFIs.


    But real experts, not "experts" evaluate the J-20 as a technology demonstrator at best. It is impossible to build a 5th generation aircraft without being able to build the 4th; China, in fact, does not know how to build the 4th.

    Currently, Beijing is negotiating the purchase of a batch of 26 ++ Russian Su-4 multi-role 35 fighter jets from 30, which is a transitional model between the latest version of the 5 Su and the promising T-50 35 generation aircraft. Having received the Su-20, China will be able to solve two tasks: on the one hand, before adopting Jian-22, to form an aviation group capable of almost equally opposing the American F-35 and F-XNUMX, and on the other, copying those systems and units of the Russian aircraft that bring it to the fifth generation.


    Obviously, 26 aircraft will not solve any military tasks, and 48 will not be solved, and even 108 should not be considered as a radical strengthening of the Chinese Air Force, but the Chinese factories themselves will take up some time. About copy. Well, see, then sozg soar for a long time, how to reproduce it and raise the 15 resource for another 100 hours. However, no one will sell them anything, and the dregs come, most likely, from China itself.

    thanks to the design documentation on B-2 obtained by Chinese intelligence and cyberformations


    The Chinese have learned to penetrate physically isolated networks?

    According to Chinese media reports, the new transporter surpasses Russian IL-76MD series vehicles in all respects


    Hysterical rzhach.

    Prior to their creation, Yun-20 will be equipped with Russian engines D-30KP2.


    Still superior. Doooo. I am already sure that J-11B is just a fiction.
