Well-known military expert, the Air Force colonel DAI Xu-interpret the Air Force --
The Chinese Air Force need to break through the atmosphere
To meet the "space age" the challenge of
Guangzhou Daily: National Day Parade will be What message?
DAI Xu: To compare 60 years ago, look at the founding ceremony in what kind of equipment, when even the wearing of helmets are in Japan. We also compared the speed of development and trends. From 1840 to 1940, China to the world of extreme poverty from the world's richest man, history has taught us: It is necessary to develop industrial technology! The parade of equipment, reflecting the 60 years of our national defense and industry has made great progress.
Not only do we have peace, goodwill,
Must also support the forces of goodwill
Guangzhou Daily: parade deterrent effect, whether to the "China threat" theory in order to handle such claims?
DAI Xu: I hope this parade will be deterred. I am in the "Global Times" published an article speaking, China is surrounded by C-shaped, almost near the O-shaped surround, I hope the parade will temporarily deter some foreign anti-China forces. China stands for peace, but we are not only good in favor of peace, we must also support the strength of this well-intentioned. We look at history, 100 years or more predatory foreign powers in China, but also to subjugate China. 60 years, the United States fought many battles? China has not invaded any time other countries.
Guangzhou Daily: This year's parade appearance is a sign of our Air Force, Air Force equipment, has entered into the mainstream of development levels?
DAI Xu: You can say so. With these models we have a modern air force in a relatively level. A modern air force should have early warning aircraft, F -10, etc. The third generation fighters and AWACS are mutually complementary. Found that the situation immediately after the simultaneous delivery to you. We are forming a system, which is not only the parade of these new fighters, as well as new radar, new anti-aircraft missiles, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, satellite communications equipment.
Satellite communications technology improved, so that the modern Air Force, not only in vision, in theory, have also strengthened the sense of space. For example, the United States Air Force is now no longer in the traditional sense of the Air Force, they called army of Aeronautics and Astronautics, where part of the atmosphere within the force, some of it is outside the atmosphere. The fighting in Afghanistan, the United States killed a Taliban leader UAV, unmanned aerial vehicles found to have a lot of people into a courtyard to meet U.S. troops in Afghanistan to carry out reconnaissance, command of the people in the United States to attack it precise, this is the role of satellites. If there is no space satellite systems support for the U.S. Air Force immediately back to the 20th century, 60 years previous levels.
Our air power is:
Into the mainstream, but still a tradition of the Air Force
Guangzhou Daily: Where is the strength of our Air Force, we have what gap?
DAI Xu: including tanker, early warning aircraft have it all, but there are some limitations with the world's most advanced equipment is still a certain gap, and we are in the traditional sense of the Air Force, is the atmosphere within the Air Force.
Guangzhou Daily: How long to break through this atmosphere?
DAI Xu: This depends on the country's industrial strength and technological power. I have repeatedly called for the state should pursue a high-tech, truly transformed into an industrial strength, defense strength. First need to focus on the development at the national level strategic industries, such as the information industry, aerospace industry, shipbuilding industry, machinery manufacturing. Do not over-emphasis on GDP, I have not advocate the development of real estate as major industries, there is no defense conversion capacity of GDP is actually meaningless. History has long ago learned, when Japan and the European GDP composition of guns, iron and steel, industrial time, the Qing GDP is the tea, porcelain, civil, these things has become the object of plunder.
Guangzhou Daily: Wear the teacher talked about the space of war, fueled hot discussion on the Internet. Currently the world's military powers in this respect which we can draw lessons from?
DAI Xu: First of all the strategic sense, we have been calling for the space to meet the challenges of our time. 2025 United States speaking about the majority of the world's wars do not occur in the earth's surface, the U.S. is so conceived. Even the air war, nor confined to the air to ground fighting, air and space there is the height of the breadth of the network, including electronic information, including the geophysical space, the actual total is likely to be operational space.
Secondly, I think we are planning a new army can not be divorced from the world's military development, our air force can not be divorced from the world's advanced level. Specifically as the United States, the United States Navy is the so-called floating in the sea, the Air Force, U.S. Army Air Force was also practice-oriented, we can be understood on the ground flying in the Army, Air Force, which is the transformation of the traditional military services. In Afghanistan, the U.S. Army's primary reconnaissance role to play, the main air assault operations are conducted via satellite call man-bombers to fight. Played nine years in Afghanistan, almost can not find the case of the army's fighting, one did not. We can also re-integration of different armed forces, but also greatly improve combat effectiveness.
The modern threat of air strikes has doubled sufficient to destroy a country's national power:
"Big people can be dead within a state, Hsiao Ke enemy's soldiers"
"The Kosovo War, the war in Iraq has proven to space-based information can be supported by a modern air strikes a devastating blow for a country." 42 days of the Gulf War, 38 days in air strikes, ground war, only 100 hours. U.S. forces only lost a hundred human cost, wiping out Iraq's 42 divisions, the destruction of tanks 3800. Stretch for several thousand years of human ground war era, to this end. Air Force Command College Research Professor Wang Mingliang, vice minister of the empty days summed up the danger of attacks on four points --
First, air and space attacks are high-onset, which will become the preferred military confrontation between countries and the main means used.
Secondly, with a high lethal enough to destroy a country's basic strength, shake the foundation of the regime, or even directly beheaded national leaders. In Israel, for example, from the 90s of the last century invention "targeted killings" tactics of war, to when in December 2008 "Forging the lead," before action, the Israeli use of a variety of means "clear" 35 times, killing 25 prominent figures, including "Clear Air" 26 times, accounting for 70%; killed 17 people, accounting for 69%.
The third characteristic is the asymmetry. Aerospace attack fast, precision, stealth, it is difficult to guard against and resist. 70 years from the last century, the rise of high-tech revolution, since the air strikes and technological development much faster than the air defense technology development, creating a situation of imbalance between offense and defense.
Finally, air and space attack also has a very high strategic. It not only affects the space momentum, even on land, sea or policy conflict, conflict of interests to play a "arbitration" effect.
Ming-Liang Wang believes that the future war will inevitably rely on the space or the space combat platform, and to take long-range precision strike manner. "Aerospace has become a hub for national security and the overall total of 'valve'. Land security hinges on the space, marine security also hinges on the air and space. The sky is no safe, all safe out of the question!"
Attention to China's air security:
Guard against hostile forces "empty days" reconnaissance
China is currently facing the air security environment in China? WANG Ming-liang said that, as the security situation in the whole country in general is a good, stable, but the potential long-term threat to the existence of empty days, and is fairly severe. In particular, to be alert to three aspects:
The first is the information space exploration. On the surface, the sky overhead is very calm, in fact every moment, some countries in our reconnaissance. Satellite height to see the plane looking at the periphery;
The second is the space containment, in the potential adversaries around the deployment of the Air Force, deployed strategic bombers on a regular basis "cruise" with the aim is to show strength and opponent's strategy of squeezing space;
The third is the space and equipment to compete. The fourth-generation fighter has come out, developed and developing countries in the field of air and space power imbalance in the pattern of widening. (Integrated in the new, "Morning News")
Military experts on the "empty days":
Air and space force the building of more important?
Half of the world's arms sales to aircraft
"Developed a four-generation machine, the Global Information Grid, and the trinity of space-based systems the formation of a new air system is on the order to three generations of machine-based defense system exert great pressure. In order to space-based information supported by a modern air strikes could die people of the country, Hsiao Ke enemy's military. "
