Japanese intelligence analysis, said: People’s Liberation Army in the East China Sea suddenly latest mystery weapon test
Japan’s “Sankei Shimbun” reported that the Japanese Ministry of Defense Intelligence Division, said in late April last year, in the East China Sea to monitor the implementation of routine vigilance mission JMSDF P-3C maritime patrol aircraft found in the middle line of the East China Sea Japan Chinese side of the old Chinese Navy destroyer activities. Subsequently, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force P-3C maritime patrol aircraft, the old Navy destroyer to China’s continuous monitoring activities, and its activities carried out aerial photography.
New Year begins, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched patrol aircraft P-3C maritime found that, although the Chinese naval destroyer of old Japan-China median line do not cross the East China Sea, but several Chinese naval destroyer of old Japan-China median line along the north-south direction to and from the navigation, and also many sailing along the east-west direction.
Japan’s Defense Ministry, the Japan-China median line in the vicinity of the old Chinese Navy destroyer trajectory, while waves of Chinese naval intelligence intercepted and received information from the U.S. military conducted a comprehensive analysis. Japan’s defense ministry that Japan-China median line in the vicinity of the old Chinese Navy destroyer most likely is-the-horizon radar ship target test experiments. Japan’s Ministry of Defense Intelligence Division is investigating this case for further analysis.
Analysis of intelligence headquarters in Japan, China set up in the coastal areas of Zhejiang Province, the radar base may have been converted into-the-horizon radar, through the Japan-China median line in the vicinity of the navigation of the old destroyers to test Chinese-made goals to capture over-the-horizon capacity and ability of the target image to explain.
Launch of the radar wave OTH radar beam for the longer wavelength, it can detect targets thousands of kilometers from the sea. In view of-the-horizon radar, with the performance of the Japanese Self-Defense Force had considered Kikai Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, the intelligence headquarters within the set-the-horizon radar, radar station, but later from the United States as Japan can get acquired by a military reconnaissance satellite intelligence, the Japanese Self-Defense Force was dispelled in Kikai Island, the idea of setting-the-horizon radar.
Japan before the Japanese Society Web site contains the text that the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force fleet plans to build the largest warships – a displacement of up to 19,500 tons of “helicopter destroyers”, which aims to build the ships against the increasingly powerful Chinese navy.
As China and Japan, to upgrade weapons and equipment, both in the East China Sea are increasingly upgrading the level of military confrontation. Can be said is the world’s high-tech weapons and equipment against high level.
Represents enormous with the same carrier
“Chongqing Evening News” report, the report said Japan plans to build a helicopter destroyer of 248 meters, displacement of 19,500 tons, can transport 14 helicopters, 4,000 personnel and 50 trucks. The ship can also supply fuel to other ships. Its function has been no different with the small aircraft carrier.
According to reports, in March 2008, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force out of the new equipment “on the” No. helicopter destroyer. The captain of the 197 meters, 33 meters wide, is the maximum level of MSDF ships, but the new type of helicopter destroyer, once completed, will take away the title.
Against the East China Sea “war”
Report noted that the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer major component is the four teams, each fleet has eight destroyers and eight helicopters. This is a confrontation during the Cold War to patrol the waters near Japan and the Soviet submarine deployment. However, in recent years, the Chinese navy to enhance maritime strike capability, and China has been carrying cruise missiles, advanced destroyers in the East China Sea gas fields near the patrol. Japan into a new helicopter destroyer, will strengthen its waters in the East China Sea and so the ability to respond to emergencies.
