Millions of soldiers + modern weapons

In the political life of China there is a serious internal problems. As a result, China will not be able to survive without external expansion, and its most promising areas are Russia and Central Asia (primarily - Kazakhstan). The nature of military development in China (rapid increase in military spending, the script of the exercise, the military-technical policy) clearly shows: the expansion is not necessarily to be peaceful (economic and demographic), and the military option is not excluded.

Indicative military parade at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, on the 60th anniversary of the PRC. He, according to official statements, the Chinese showed 52 models of new equipment. This was shown to the whole range of arms and military equipment - ballistic missiles (from tactical to intercontinental), cruise missiles, ground-based anti-ship missiles of sea and land-based, anti-aircraft missiles of all ranges, a variety of armored vehicles, including assault (still a monopoly in the production of BMD It was a Russian), reactive and cannon artillery, several types of unmanned aerial vehicles, combat aircraft and helicopters. With the passage of the square columns representing different kinds of troops of the People's Liberation Army of China, could not draw attention to themselves, and this is very remarkable detail: a large part of the personnel was armed with no local copies of Kalashnikov assault rifles and the latest automatic rifles, created by the scheme " Bullpup "based on the same AK and Western models (FA MAS, L85). In addition to airborne combat vehicles ZBD-03, not to mention full of copies of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems S-300 and multiple launch rocket systems "Smerch" (the last of the Russian Federation to China, by the way, did not deliver ever), SAM short range "Krotal" Chinese as "loggerheads "I do not hesitate. China has become a monopolist in the class of land-based cruise missiles, as known for the INF Treaty on the US and Russia can not have land-based cruise missiles. Interestingly prosutstvie new classes of weapons such as drones, mounted on the car. anti-aircraft missile and gun complexes Tour 95 (they PGZ-04), breaking the monopoly of the Russian "Tunguska».
Only in China ended military exercises "Kuyuae 2009" - the largest in the 60-year history of China. They were held in four of the seven military regions - Shenyang, Lanzhou, and Tszinnanskogo Guanchzhouskogo. [Next]

The exercise worked out joint actions of all arms in modern warfare. One of the goals of the maneuvers was to test new weapons systems, as well as China's national health deployable satellite navigation system "Beidou" - an analog of American GPS. It is worth noting that the PLA carries not individual tactical maneuvers needed to maintain daily combat readiness units and formations and maneuvers of strategic scale, which uses the army and the military districts, they cover most of mainland China - not a small area of ​​the country . And the nature of the exercise is also very interesting - he obviously has no relation to the landing to Taiwan or to repel aggression from the United States. Capture of Taiwan - is the air-sea landing operation, the size of the island is not very large, it will not need a thousand-kilometer marches as its width from west to east is less than 150 km. In addition to the ongoing exercises are not involved troops of the Nanjing Military Region, which focused on action against Taiwan.

Accordingly, the question arises how the Army ground forces and the Air Force of the PLA are going to wage war with the use of the most modern military equipment, satellite navigation systems, and other advanced systems to ensure the fighting?
For China, it makes sense not to expansion in South-East Asia and Korea (about India and say nothing), while in Kazakhstan and Russia (Mongolia will fall "together"). Then it should be noted that only those HPT possible offensive to a depth of two thousand. Km. In Southeast Asia, the depth of theater as a whole do not exceed 1, 5 thous. Km, on the Korean peninsula is not more than 750 km. And the area where training exercises, is most relevant to their physical and geographical conditions of the region of Central Asia, the Far East and Trans-Baikal. And not Southeast Asia. The exercise, as has been said, will not be involved troops focused on Taiwan, the Nanjing Military Region, but take part in them compounds of Beijing, Shenyang and Lanzhou IN aimed at Russia, Mongolia and Central Asia, and Tszinnanskogo IN, are reserved for these districts, as well as "experimental" (which in its parts primarily worked through the use of new military equipment and its uses).

It may be noted that the recent military-technical cooperation between China and Russia is minimized. This can be partly explained by a rapid degradation of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation no longer able to offer the Chinese weapons and equipment that they need. Another explanation is that Beijing is seriously considering the possibility in the foreseeable future warfare against the Russian army. It is assumed that in the near future China will shift to the production of arms in their own companies, as well as cooperation in this field with the West (first of all - with the European Union). For example, the first specialized Chinese attack helicopter WZ-10 is being developed jointly with European companies Eurocopter and Augusta-Westland. The possibility of acquiring Russian military helicopters Beijing was not even considered, though, such as the Ka-50 and Ka-52 are produced at the plant in Arsenyev, that is near the Russian-Chinese border, and in its performance characteristics are far superior to WZ-10.
In conclusion, I must emphasize again: it can be assumed that the Chinese leadership and command of the PLA are seriously considering the possibility of doing in the foreseeable future offensive operations against Russia and Central Asian countries. At least it is a war scenario is most likely. At the same time the operation to forcibly seize Taiwan removed from the agenda.
A parade was very nice! Firstly, this is a real great style, rather than the current domestic sickening PR. Secondly, this is our bright future ... Learn Chinese!
