PLA troops head to DPRK border as North-South tensions mount

The People's Liberation Army has sent troops to China's border with North Korea as escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula have pushed North and South to the brink of possible war.

The Hong Kong-based Oriental Daily reported Saturday that internet users have been uploading photos of what appear to be PLA armored vehicles and tanks passing through the streets of Yanji, the seat of the Yanbian Korean autonomous prefecture in eastern Jilin province. The city, considered a key transport and trade hub between China and the DPRK, is less than 30 kilometers from the 1,400-kilometer border.

The military deployment is believed to reflect how seriously Beijing considers the the current standoff between North and South Korea. Delegates from Pyongyang and Seoul have agreed to continue talks at 3 pm Sunday local time after the first high-level dialogue between the two sides in nearly a year was adjourned following a marathon 10-hour session.

The talks began around 6:30 pm on Saturday shortly after the passing of Pyongyang's deadline for Seoul to cease broadcasting anti-DPRK propaganda across the demilitarized zone through loudspeakers. Pyongyang had declared that its frontline troops were prepared to go to war if Seoul did not back down and an unnamed official from South Korea's defense ministry has reportedly said that his government will only discontinue the broadcasts if there is an acceptable outcome from the talks.

The loudspeaker broadcasts began from the South after a land mine attack — for which the South has blamed the North — injured two ROK soldiers. On Thursday, the South Korean military fired dozens of artillery rounds across the border in response to North Korean artillery strikes, in turn supposedly in response to the South's broadcasts. As usual, Pyongyang has denied being behind both the land mine attack and the artillery strikes while keeping up its standard "sea of fire" rhetoric.

The standoff also comes amid annual military exercises between the US and South Korea, which the North claims is part of a preparation for invasion.

On Aug. 21, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that China is following "the situation of the Korean peninsula very closely and is deeply concerned about what has happened recently."

"China staunchly safeguards regional peace and stability and opposes any action that may escalate tension. We urge relevant parties to remain calm and restrained, properly deal with the current situation through contact and dialogue, and stop doing anything that may make the tension even worse," Hua said, adding that the Chinese side is "willing to work with relevant parties to jointly ensure peace and stability of the Korean peninsula."

China's Global Times tabloid has tried to downplay the risk of military conflict, stating in an editorial: "The South and North are not willing to start a full-scale war, and no one is instigating a war. As a result, the new round of friction may not be explosive and can be dissolved by previous experiences. After all, escalation will do no good to either side."

The Korean Central News Agency, North Korea's state news agency, has hit back at China's calls for restraint, saying, "We have exercised our self-restraint for decades. Now no one's talk about self-restraint is helpful to putting the situation under control."

First it too expensive and not yet a fully a matured products. Something our air force would like to avoid

Second, the mrca was intended to fill the gap between our su30mkm and f18. Our mkm is geared mainly to air to air which was previously our migs roles.

F18 for surface and land roles. Basically, the price range should be affordable as well. A good example is how the india mrca deal is although they take the.more expensive route and in the end have to cut the quantity 

Third, i personally think that pak fa is not a good contender for mrca but instead a our mkm replacement or supplements, it a very good contender something like the f35 would be considered 

Lastly.. since we are already quite familar with russian system like on the mkm. It make things easier as well for o&m training.
*
well, our mkm dont need replacing i suppose, but it'll definitely be good to have the pak fa to supplement the current squadron and have some over at the other side of the sea. (dont think all these will be happening within a 5 years period, so by then, Pak fa should be tested and mature significantly)

oh, f35? aint it too expensive to operate? and too many problem to begin with?

what do you guys really think about this?

a. have clearly separate and dedicated squadron for air superiority and surface/land roles?

or

b. mrca that does both but probably are not as good in both

i suppose the final decision is based on financial capability tho

A new Russian hypersonic engine capable of propelling an aircraft up to 9,000 kmh will be unveiled during the MAKS-2015 air show in Zhukovsky, outside Moscow.

The breakthrough engine was designed by the Central Institute of Aviation Motors (CIAM) in Moscow.
"An operational module of the supersonic combusting ramjet will probably be the most eye-catching piece at the CIAM booth," the institute reported.In addition, the company plans to present dozens of other interesting projects.

The CIAM is one of the world leader’s in developing supersonic combusting ramjets. The Institute created Europe’s largest range to imitate flight conditions at speeds of Mach 5-7.5 (6,125-9,187 kmh).

"For rig tests, the Institute has designed a module of a hydrogen supersonic combusting ramjet. During tests under simulated flight conditions at speeds of Mach 7.4, the engine delivered forward thrust," the Institute explained.

Military uniforms to march with times

Several types of military uniforms were displayed at the rehearsal on Sunday of the military parade which will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Beijing on Sept 3.[Special coverage]

Thirty professionals in General Logistics Department have been assigned to design all clothing models for parade this year, inspired by the uniforms in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the latest version of military uniforms issued in 2007.

The military uniforms during the rehearsal included clothing for guard of honor, uniforms in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, female dress clothing and different camouflage clothing.

"It will be the most beautiful uniforms in all the parades China has," said Ma Guowang, team leader of a medical formation in parade.

All the uniforms have been upgraded with better fabrics, highlighted accessories and hard but smooth styles.

Military boots have been improved to be light, more fit and with better ventilation, which makes them perfect for the parade, according to a formation leader.

Compared to previous loose sized uniforms, the parade uniforms have been tailored according each member's measurements. The waist size has been especially narrowed for the female to have a better fit.

China's female guards of honor will for the first time attend a military parade.

South Korean uses standoff to promote extended military service

user posted image

QUOTE
On Monday, Yonhap news reported South Korean soldiers’ rush to delay military service discharges, as well as the cancellation of holidays.

“It is outrageous that North Korea is not recognizing its provocations. I will win, fighting until the last moment with my fellow soldiers,” said Sergeant Moon Jeong-hoon, who had been due to be discharged from military service on Tuesday.

It also reported another story about two sergeants who cancelled their flight to Jeju Island, which was planned to celebrate their discharge. They cancelled their plans to take part in protecting the front line with their colleagues.

Cash-Flush TNI ‘Receptive’ to Saab Pitch for Airborne Radar Platform

user posted image

Linkoping, Sweden. Swedish aerospace and defense firm Saab plans to continue discussions with the Indonesian Air Force for the purchase of an airborne early warning and control system amid the nation’s heightened efforts to secure its borders.

Martin Vobora, the company’s senior director of marketing and sales for Asia Pacific region, told the Jakarta Globe that government officials have been largely receptive to the offer.

“It seems like the government realized that there is a need for the technology. Now, it’s just a matter of timing and placement,” he said in Linkoping on Tuesday.

Still, he noted that no official talks have yet taken place regarding procurement Saab’s airborne early warning and control system, known as the Erieye AEW&C mission system.

Other companies offering airborne early warning systems include Northrop Grumman and its E-2C Hawkeye airplane.

Saab’s Erieye AEW&C is capable of multiple roles, including air surveillance, sea surveillance and intelligence, the Swedish company said. The radar can be installed on three different platforms, including Saab 340 and 2000 aircraft.

The technology, which has been operational since 1996, has been used in seven countries — including Thailand, Mexico and Brazil — for both military and civilian purposes, such as protection against illegal fishing and drug trafficking.

“There are two keywords for the Erieye system, coverage and mobility,” Lars Ekstrom, business developer of marketing and sales for Saab’s electronic defense systems, told reporters in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Monday.

The Swedish company is offering the airborne early warning control system amid ongoing discussions with Air Force officials on the possible purchase of the Gripen fighter jet. Saab currently has branch offices in 35 countries. Its Indonesian office was established in late 2013.

Since then, Saab Indonesia has signed early-stage agreements with a few local companies, such as state-owned weapons manufacturer Pindad and state electronics manufacturer Len Industri.

“It’s good for us to have local partners for maintenance and it’s also good in helping the country with its industrial base,” said Lars Tossman, vice president and head of airborne surveillance systems.

Indonesia has budgeted 7 percent of its annual spending on defense over the past two years in an effort to revamp its aging military arsenal. Military spending increased by 3.3 percent to Rp 97 trillion ($7.8 billion) in the 2015 state budget compared with the previous year— the equivalent of roughly 1.2 percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product — with 40 percent of it allocated to weaponry and equipment.

“[Saab Technologies] has been very successful in making things cost-efficient … Indonesia is on the right track to growth and we’d like to be a part of it and help the industrial base,” Tossman added. “That’s the reason we invest.”

GlobeAsia was invited to Sweden by the Saab Group.

Russia Preparing New Electronic Warfare System

user posted image

Adviser to the deputy head of Russia's Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies (KRET) Vladimir Mikheev said Tuesday a new multilevel system of electronic warfare will be tested in Russia in 2015.

It is reported that the system was designed to counter means of air and space attack.

"KRET plans to begin this year, and end next year, state testing of a fundamentally new system of electronic warfare, aimed at jamming the most modern means and systems for air and space attacks," Mikheev said.
