Minor spelling corrections

[Chairman Hu]

The Su-30MKK2 page:

On the Su-30MKK2 section, on the first line of the 2nd paragraph talking about the flying of two prototypes, it said Su-20MK2 instead, this is minor, but correcting it should take more than 10 sec

The testing of two prototypes of the Su-20MK2 began around early 2002. Compared to the MKK version in service with the PLAAF, the Su-30MK2 features an improved precision-attack capability and an entirely new C4ISTAR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance) role not previously hinted at. The aircraft’s new N001VEP fire-control radar is specifically modified to launch the Kh-31 (NATO codename: Kh-17A Krypton-A) long-range supersonic anti-ship missile

Thanks

[Dongfeng]

to be quite frank, I don't even know what it should be called. Some source call it MK2 as a derivation of the Su-30MK, others call it MKK2 as it is the second model sold to China (MKK). Any suggestions?

[Chairman Hu]

thats not what i meant, I mean the Su-20 part is wrong, i meant it should be Su-30MK2 instead Su-20MK2

[Dongfeng]

Corrcted. :)

submarine guns? submachineguns

[MadMax]

under the small arms section it says rocket propelled granade, it should be grenade

[Obcession]

Under PLA section, Paramilitary, Reserve Forces, in the second paragraph on the page, there's a sentence that says: "...Through theoretically still important in the Chinese military system..." It should be though not through

[Dongfeng]

Spot on! That's something even spelling check cannot detect.

"Type 81 assault rilfe"
suppose to be Type 81 assault rifle

From the Type 64 SMG page:
The Type 64 is China's first specially designed low flash, suppressed submachine gun. It is mainly equipped by the PLA scout and sepcial operation units.

This page has two broken links, the one leading to the two other SMG's.

From http://www.sinodefence.com/army/antitank/ptl02.asp, the tank destroyer page:

The PTL02 wheeled assault tank destroyer armed with a 100mm rifled gun was developed by NORINCO for the PLA new light (rapid reaction) mechanised infantry divisions. The vehicle has a three-man turret derived from the Type 88 MBT, and a 6X6 wheeled chassis based on the WZ551 APC. Chinese officials have confirmed that the vehicle is now in production.

The 105mm main gun of the tank destroyer is capable of engaging lightly armoured vehicles and fortifications, but is unable to destroy a heavily armed main battle tanks (MBT). NORINCO is developing new tank destroyers based on a more powerful 120mm smoothbore main gun and a heavier 8X8 wheeled chassis.

The first paragraph says it is equipped with a 100mm gun while the second says 105mm.

The tank destroyer has a crew has a crew of four (commander, gunner, loader and driver).

Q: Did you mistype your domain "sinodefense" as "sinodefence"?

A: No. In British English it is spelled as defence rather than defense in American English. The contents of the this website are all written in British English.

On the '95 page:

"The Type 95 assault rifle was first seen fielded by the PLA Hong Kong garrison troops in 1997, and later entered service with special operations forces (SOFs), airborne corps and marine corps. However, it seems that the PLA is not entirely satisfied with the weapon’s performance. A range of technical problems and design flaws were reported during the initial fielding, and the Type 95 is unlikely to replace the Type 81 assault rifle to become the standard individual weapon in the near future.



The Type 95 was first seen fielded by the PLA Hong Kong garrison troops in 1997, and later entered service with special operations forces (SOFs), airborne corps and marine corps. However, the PLA seems not entirely satisfied with its performance as a range of technical problems and design flaws were reported during the initial fielding. In addition, the fact that the air force and navy are given high priority in China’s defence budgets also slowed the speed of the Type 95 replacing the elder Type 81 and Type 56 rifles in service with the PLA.

Actually I am making a point here: It was New York Times who reported that it was a KJ-2000 but I doubted if they knew the difference between KJ-200 and KJ-2000. Most media reports copied the story from NYT and I believe that it was a KJ-200, or at least something based on Y-8.

Hi Mods:

I found a possible mistake on the main site of SinoDefence, but I forgot which thread to post it, so just post it here. Please move this post to a suitable thread if possible:

Unconfirmed reports suggested that the development of the Type 054 was delayed by the lack of a suitable propulsion system. Production of the first-of-class, Ma’anshan (pennant number 525) did not start until late 1002. The ship was launched on 11 September 2003 at Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai. This was followed by the second hull Wenzhou (penant number 526) on 30 November 2003 at Huangpu Shipyard in Guangzhou. Both ships were commissioned in 2005 and they are deployed by the PLA Navy East Sea Fleet.

I think the correct sentence should be 2002

WS-1E

The WS-1E is the 122mm multiple rocket system developed by SCAIC as a successor to the PLA’s current Type 81 122mm rocket system. It is similar to the Type 90 122mm rocket system and did not enter production. A WS-1E rocket battalion is equipped with:

DZ-88B firing command truck (5 men): 1;
MF-40 rocket launch truck (3 men): 6;
Rockets per launch truck: 120~160;

WS-2

During the 2004 Zhuhai Air Show, SCAIC revealed its latest WS-2 multiple launch rocket system. The weapon is fitted with 6 box-shape launchers and fires 400mm rockets to a maximum range of 200km. The WS-2 is fitted with a primitive cascade inertial terminal guidance to compensate the degraded accuracy cause by the long distance flight of the rocket. A WS-1E rocket battalion is equipped with:

(30 Nov 06) Two Russian engine manufacturers, Salut and Saturn, are currently competing to supply their engines to upgrade China’s Su-27 Flanker fighter fleet. The PLAAF is planning to initially acquire 52 engines worth US$800 million to upgrade 26 Su-27 fighters in 2007~08. This may be followed by a second acquisition to upgrade an additional 22 fighters

This gave me a jump when I first read it, 52 engines cost $800 millions! However if you read the detail it says $180 millions. Might be a spelling mistake, pls check.

[Dongfeng]

yeah, it should be US$180 million. I've corrected it. Thank you

[SteelBird]

Hi, DongFeng

I'm afraid I need to point out another spelling mistake...

Sorry for my last post that I forgot to put the link. Fortunely you could find it.

With multiple in-flight refuelling, the Su-30MKK taking-off from inland airbases in China conceivably could conduct air strikes as far away as Guam, Australia, or the Indian Ocean, or be able to loiter for significant periods over contested areas of the South China Sea. According to Russian sources, the PLAAF has requested the Su-30MKK with structure reinforced to enable the maximum rake-off weight to be increased to 34.5t, comparing to 30.5t for the original version Su-30 and 33.5t for the Su-30MKI designed for the Indian Air Force. The PLAAF has reportedly asked for a limited number of the planes to have the capability of further increasing take-off weight to 38.8t. The plane will then be capable of transporting 8t of weapons and supplementary fuel tanks in operations.

Doh! that's what happens when you rush things. I'll get this corrected this evening. Thank you very much

Hi, A spelling mistake. Duplicated "T", one big and one small... :)

Tthe centre of the “Qu Dian” system is a dedicated military communications satellite codenamed FengHuo-1 (FH-1) first launched in January 2000. The Pentagon described that system as "a secure, jam-resistant, high capacity data link communications system for use in a tactical combat." It was China’s first space-based communication platform to provide military units with both C-band and UHF communications. The “Qu Dian” system allows theatre commanders to communicate with and share data with all forces under joint command.

For the ZBD2000, it says under Programme "Compared to the BMD-3, the Chinese airborne combat vehicle is slightly higher, and its main gun (25mm) differs to the Russian design (30mm)," but under Armament, it says "The main armament of the IFV variant is a 25mm cannon..." Then under specifications, it is "Weapons: One 30mm cannon." So I'm wondering if it's the 30mm or the 25mm? Thank you.

http://www.sinodefence.com/army/armour/zbd2000.asp

It should be 25mm. The figure in the sepcification was wrong. I've corrected it

Thank you for pointing that out

[Ryz05]

It should be 25mm. The figure in the sepcification was wrong. I've corrected it

Thank you for pointing that out

No problem. I was just curious why they fitted the airborne IFV with 25mm, while the new Type 97 IFV is equipped with a coaxial 30mm. Wouldn't it simplify logistics just to have them all be 25 or 30mm?

[Dongfeng]

Now you just made me think: is it really 25mm gun as I originally believed, or is it actually 30mm? I need more study on this...

OK, here, one F missing...

The Type 79 submachine gun is more or less patterned after the Type 56 (AK-47) assault rifle. It uses gas-operated, rotary bolt action with short stroke gas piston located above barrel. The bolt group and fire mode/safety switch are similar to those of the Type 56 assault rile. The barrel, receiver, pistol grip, magazine and shoulder stock are all made from stamped steel. The weapon fires 7.62 X 25mm pistol cartridge in either single or fully automatic mode. Ammunitions are fed from a straight box magazine that holds 20 rounds. Shoulder stock folds up and forward when not in use.

37mm AAA army page
The Type 65 is an obsolete WWII-style manually-operated, optically-sighted anti-aircraft weapon. Operated by a crew of seven men, the recoil-operated 37mm cannons fire the 1,416kg high-explosive (HE) and the 1,455kg high-explosive armour-piercing (HE-AP) rounds with tracer, with a muzzle velocity of 866m/s. The maximum slant range 3,500m. The maximum rage of fire is 160~180 rounds/min. Each cannon is fed by a magazine that holds 5 rounds. A feeding funnel can be fitted for continuous feeding. Later variants of the weapon can be operated by an electrical trigger, enabling multiple guns being fired by a single trigger.

That's 1 powerful gun to shoot a ton of lead every shot.

The QW-1A jointly developed by 119 Factory and Xi’an Tianwei Electronic System Engineering Ltd. was based on the QW-1, but added with a man-portable target acquisition radar (weight: 30kg; range: 15km). The launcher tube of the QW-1A was also added with a LCD module. The target radar is linked to 4~6 QW-1A firing units via cable of wireless connections. The target information is directly displayed on the gunner’s LCD module, thus increasing the combat effectiveness by forming an integrated air defence network.

Haven't posted for quite a long time. Today, I suddenly want to compare how powerful an H-6 engine to a Su-27's, and I found that a large aircraf such as the H-6 is less powerful than even the Su-27. Beside that, I also found this:

The radio-command KS-1 was designed primarily to engage aircraft and helicopters, but also ahs (has) limited capability against air-to-surface missiles and other air-launched precision guidance weapons.

[Violet Oboe]

Also a brief question about HQ-12/KS-1A:

Dongfeng has grouped the SAM under ´point defence´; though HQ-12 has a slant range of at least 50 km. :confused:

Obviously HQ-12 falls in between S-300/HQ-9 and point defence systems like Tor so a separate category should be considered. (...perhaps something like ´semi-regional´.)

[WEN?]

In PLA Special Operations Forces section, under infiltration you forgot the t in night vision in the last sentence.

[Dongfeng]

Guys,

thank everyone who have pointed out the errors. I've corrected them.

To Violet: I have moved HQ-12 to regional air defence system, and change the title of the middle section to "Field Air Defence". The idea is that all systems under the "Regional Air Defence" section are deployed by the PLA Air Force, while all systems under the "Field Air Defence" section are deployed by the ground forces. What do you think

Thanks
