Talks of a PLAN Overseas Naval Base.
As posted on the Chinese defense ministry website, the Chinese PLAN is floating the idea of an overseas naval base to support its anti-pirate mission in the Gulf of Aden. The lack of an overseas naval base caused hardships and supply problems during the PLAN’s first anti-pirate tour where the Chinese flotilla made no port call in over four months.While the English report did not specify where

Update on the cargo ship De Xin Hai hijacked by the Somali pirates
I posted the following back in Oct 10, 2009 (here) and looks like they have agreed to the four million USD ransom demand. The crew will be home by Chinese New Year and that is worth celebrating.Millions of Chinese are now glued to their flat panels wondering how the high seas drama is going to play out. How will China apply its military might in a MOOTW (Military Operation Other Than War)?
Mobile Air Defense On-The-Cheap
Prior to the introduction of the PGZ95 self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery (SPAAA), this Type 63 APC ad hoc modification was the only opinion for PLA's mobile armor columns. Even today, this type of "mobile air defense on-the-cheap" can still be found on some low readiness units. Can't imagine the twin 25mm AAA/HN-5 MANPAD mount would be effective in a modern battlefield.

China accomplishes survey and mapping of Qinghai-Tibet Railway with high-precision
Consider how important the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to the Chinese government, there is no way they would allow a foreign company to conduct the survey, not matter the cost.

"Commercialization" of the FC-1 Fighter.
As reported by today's People's Daily, the FC-1 Xiaolong fighter program is moving forward to future expansion at home and abroad. At the same time, the FC-1/J-10 lost to the Russian Mig-29 for the Myanmar (Burma) fighter deal.The irony is that with 20 20-million euro Migs to Burma and 10 free Migs to Lebanon the Russians are undercutting the Chinese. How the world has changed! Just like "The

Four modified Jianghui III class FFG were sold to the Royal Thailand Navy during the 1990s at a "friendship price". However, those four FFGs have to be refitted in Thailand before joining the fleet because of the poor construction quality.The decision to upgrade the Jianghui class by the Thai navy after almost 20 years of service suggests that the initial quality issue has long been corrected.
