China's defense industry this year, announced its breakthrough. January, it uses a missile to shoot down an abandoned their satellite to demonstrate an ability to eclipse the U.S. and other high-tech army.
In the development of new hardware at the same time, China's strategic thinking seems increasingly inclined to send troops overseas. China's major military magazine claims the protection of the country's maritime trade and energy supply lines.
The United States and other countries on the one hand increasing the transparency of Chinese military welcomed on the other hand, said the PLA should be more clear that the number and strengthen the military and its military intentions.
Is still the core of the PLA Army, whose numbers in the whole army accounted for 78%. Army has more than 7,000 tanks, 4,500 armored vehicles and 500 various types of helicopters.
Today, the Navy has 57 submarines, of which five are nuclear submarines, many of the submarine is equipped with the "Eagle -8" series anti-ship cruise missiles, can be fired underwater.
In 1927, the CPC through the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, created an army loyal to their own. 80 years, from the sword spear, shotgun Own Mic to millet plus rifles, aircraft and artillery; from a mule of, motorized, to the mechanization and digitalization, the PLA is now no longer have that support as "uneducated" proud military, has initially with the conduct of information warfare capabilities.
In 1985, Deng Xiaoping, the then Chairman of the Central Military Commission ordered the disarmament 100 million, and take the crack troops. People's Liberation Army soon canceled the horses of all motorized implement. The last century 90's Gulf War and the Kosovo war CPC leadership recognized that the traditional motorized equipment is fully behind the PLA to speed up the motorized mechanization from the pace of change.
2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq shows the information in the great role of contemporary war, the CCP developed a complete high-level for the Liberation of mechanization and information technology to achieve leapfrog development of the strategic objectives.
At present, the PLA army, division, brigade, regiment all equipped with the computer. Military forces formed over the whole training centers are equipped with computer simulation training room. PLA command automation systems developed by the stand-alone application to enter into the film, as a system-building phase, to achieve the combat units of the network.
In this regard, the Chinese armed forces have gone through a tortuous path: from the "post-Cold War" slack out of date, to the "economic take-off period" abandoned weapons business, until "the period of global competition" re-rise of China has finally recognized that the modern success must be accompanied by a strong national defense, because a modern comprehensive national strength of a nation on behalf of the overall growth.
Chinese troops battle the concept of change, will benefit from the fundamental to consolidate national defense. In the "post-Cold War era," major combat object into the "random state." On the one hand, the object will be fighting any opponent might threaten national security; the other hand, national armies in the regional and even global increase coordination and cooperation within and began to point the finger more non-traditional security factors, such as terrorist and separatist activities.
China's armed forces are facing in the new century, several major challenges. People's Liberation Army and other developed countries from the horizontal comparisons, weapon and equipment has never been the strengths of the Chinese army, Chinese army has never been in the Western sense of "occupation army."
Personal Reflections: If we overseas Chinese Army and Army infantry division compare the equipment, we can found in the tanks, artillery, various types of missiles, guns, etc., no way inferior to foreign military army. In recent years, the new man-made equipment, we continue to debut, there are a lot of equipment exported to the foreign military troops. However, in our own individual equipment under the conditions of modern warfare is indeed backward. Such as headgear. Bulletproof vests, combat boots, night vision. Of man-portable tools and so on. These things look like much, but the war is real is in relation to the immediate interests of every soldier. Good individual equipment to reduce casualties in the war can play a great role! This self-defense in the Vietnam War experience, we have Shentong! Since then, our military is gradually spread attention to soldiers equipped with helmets and protect the man!
In general, a soldier on the battlefield, there is body armor, a helmet, there certainly is psychologically a sense of security, education of our troops soldiers, fearing neither hardship nor death, fighting to defend the motherland, from thinking up said that education which is very necessary. But from the material, when troops to the soldiers equipped with many advanced protective equipment, soldiers heart will certainly be more practical, more confident. They dare, dare to be more determined to win. Of course, not that there is no good equipment is not brave. However, a good man with combat equipment to improve combat effectiveness is indisputable role in promoting the.
Our forces are now part of elite division in addition, the majority of individual equipment or the slow update! We can only Marines, special forces troops and a few to see some excellent individual equipment. Such as "Soldiers Sortie" as a good man in most of our equipment in the field army should still be very little equipment. Relief from this situation of our army can also see the current level of the current man of sophisticated equipment is not so rosy.
Recently saw the PLA began to equip front-line troops have body armor. It was a good sign. However, the rate of our army, or update the individual equipment should be quickly increased. In fact, as a mature man, like mold or the combat system is worth learning, we can learn from each other. Better and faster to improve our individual equipment units.
Times have changed, only the emphasis on heavy equipment, while ignoring the vital interests of the thinking man should be changed. If you still hold the old thinking of letting go, so must be brought behind. Sometimes the details of the decision is the key to victory or defeat!
