“The PLA Navy ship and aircraft to be revealed are the Liaoning aircraft carrier, new types of nuclear submarines, new types of destroyers, as well as fighter aircraft,” Qiu said, without giving details. “Some ships will be revealed for the first time.”
China began construction of its second domestically built aircraft carrier in 2018, which will likely be larger and fitted with a catapult launch system. This design will enable it to support additional fighter aircraft, fixed-wing early-warning aircraft, and more rapid flight operations. China’s second domestically built carrier is projected to be operational by 2022.
In addition, the PLAAF is seeking to extend its reach with the development of a new, stealth strategic bomber. Former PLAAF Commander General Ma Xiaotian publicly announced the program in 2016, and commentators anticipate the new platform will debut sometime around 2025.

The PLA Rocket Force also continues to enhance its fixed ICBMs and is adding more survivable, mobile delivery systems. China’s ICBM arsenal to date consists of 90 ICBMs, including the silo-based CSS-4 Mod 2 (DF-5A) and multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV)-equipped Mod 3 (DF-5B); the solid-fueled, road-mobile CSS-10 class missiles; and the shorter range CSS-3 (DF-4). The CSS10 Mod 2, with a range in excess of 11,200 km, can reach most locations within the continental United States. Development of the CSS-X-20 (DF-41), a new MIRV-capable, road-mobile ICBM, continued in 2018. China appears to be considering additional DF-41 launch options, including rail-mobile and silo basing.

Tykki on säilynyt samana vai onko?
Kaipa niitä kiinalaisten itsekin käyttämiä alkaa hiljalleen näkyä. Tässä pakistanilaisten ja kiinalaisten yhteistyö JF-17. Ei muita merkittäviä asiakkaita kuin Pakistan.
Venäjä tehnyt uuden tarjouksen Su-35:stä
Artikkelista ei käy ilmi onko kyseessä vastaus kiinalaisten tarjouspyyntöön vai venäläisten oma aloite. Ilmeisesti jälkimmäistä. Jatkotilauksesta on huhuttu jo pitkään, mutta nyt foorumeilla pidetään tilausta 'varmana huhuna'. Olisiko kyseessä joku erikoistarjous jotta saadaan tuotantolinjat pidettyä auki, vai onko Indonesian tilaukselle tapahtunut jotain (pakotteet tms) ja koneet pitää myydä eteenpäin.
