MBDA offers Glimpse into Future Soldier Support Weaponry

KLS, Jul 20: Ulan-Ude aviation plant (UUAP), a part of Russian Helicopters, the Russian helicopter industry holding company, is delivering helicopters to UTair ahead of schedule set in the contract.

Spratly Islands: A possible launchpad of CJ-10 Cruise Missile for China?

KLS, Jun 3: The first Chinese Land Attack Cruise Missile - CJ-10 made its first public appearance at the 60th annniversary national day parade in October.

The CJ-10 “Long Sword” or DH-10 LACM is estimated to reach 2000+km by the United States Defense Department and thus its strategic implication to the region could not be undermined.

An interesting question is on the deployment area of the CJ-10. News reports said CJ-10 is being deployed in Liuzhou, GuangXi province which can cover Taiwan, Vietnam and India’s Arunachal Pradesh state that has sovereignty dispute with China. However, it is not enough to cover the whole Southeast Asian region and strategic areas like the Malacca Straits.

Given that China has overlapping sovereignty claims in Spratly Islands -- which has rich oil and gas resources in four Southeast Asian countries -- is it possible that China will deploy the CJ-10 cruise missile to Spratly? More..
