PLA's aces in the hole for recapturing South China Sea

Chinese Navy owns powerful anti-missile weapons.



Sources say Flying Leopard 3000 Naval (FL-3000N) has become the ace in the hole of Chinese Navy to counter missiles.


FL-3000N is developed from TY-90 missile. The diameter of the missile is enlarged by a third, but the most important design difference in the new system is in its guidance system. The FL-3000N missile utilizes a combined guidance system that incorporates both passive radio frequency (RF) guidance and imaging infrared (ImIR) guidance. There are a pair of horn like protrusions mounted on the ImIR seeker at the tip of the missile, and these two protrusions are the passive RF seeker. An optional ImIR only guidance is also available and the missile is a fire and forget weapon.




The fire control system (FCS) of FL-3000N can simultaneously control two launchers, and can be integrated into other FCS on board ships. Alternatively, FL-3000N is also capable being directly controlled by other FCS on board ships. The system is usually fully automatic without human intervention, but manual operation can be inserted when needed.



Chinese Navy owns combating ability of defeating a group of five US aircraft carriers.





Sources say when US Navy command in Japan formally announced the deployment of USS Washington aircraft carrier in the Yokosuka base, China was reported to have finished the preliminary deployment of its underwater surveillance system, which enables China to conduct  24-hour surveillance on US submarines. This capability is thought by US experts to be necessary to defeat a group of over five US aircraft carriers.


Chinese Navy has drafted asymmetric strategies of the 21st century and can launch unclear deterrence to US nuclear carriers deployed in the West Pacific.


China also builds 093/094 nuclear-powered submarines, from which China learns experience of building new type of nuclear reactors.



China owns cruise missiles capable of launching long-range attacks.





The maximum range of China’s C602 sea-based/land-based long-range cruise missiles could exceed 500 kilometers without MR limitation, which is similar to the range of Tomahawk G.


Meanwhile, China owns Red Bird missiles. The newest variant of Red Bird missile is HN3 with a range of 3,000 kilometers.


Another variant of Red Bird Missile HN2000 tail end supersonic stealth cruise missile is under development.



China owns combating ability of launching attack on F-22 stealth fighters.





The coordination of UAVs and China’s fourth generation stealth fighters could destroy F-22 fighters.




China’s supersonic and super maneuverable J-14 stealth fighter can launch over-the-Horizon (OTH) attacks.



China owns advanced laser weapon – a kind of destructive laser weapon with high power, which is capable of destroying satellites instantly.






China owns DongFeng (DF) strategic missiles, which is capable of attacking the US territory. According to foreign sources, DF-21D has become US carrier killer.
