Serbia purchased 15 China made Wing Loong (Pterodactyl) drones...[Cool]
According to Russian media reports, Serbia has signed a contract with China to purchase 15 Pterodactyl drones. In the next six months, Serbia will accept initial delivery of nine aircrafts. This is the first time that China has sold arms to Europe in such amount, the United States said it will pay close attention.

China ready to defend against drone attacks after Saudi Arabia oil hit

Chinese military observers turned their attention to the threats from drones after two major oil installations of Saudi Arabia were attacked by drones on Saturday, saying on Monday China has a full range of countermeasures, including detection and interception systems.

Ten drones attacked the oil installations, damaging facilities that process the vast majority of the country's crude output and raising the risk of a disruption in world oil supplies, the New York Times reported on Saturday.

An anonymous Chinese military expert told the Global Times surprise was the key to the attacks' success. "If they had deployed a well-conditioned defense system, they would at least not suffer such a huge loss," the expert said.

Drones, especially those with small, slow, low-flying characteristics, are difficult for traditional air defense systems to detect and intercept, so new systems must be developed to counter them, experts told the Global Times.

China has already developed complete systems to counter drone attacks, so similar attacks would find it difficult to succeed in China, especially on strategic facilities key to national security, military observers said.

To detect these smaller drones, in addition to more capable and extra numbers of radar installations, other technologies, including infrared detection and radio environmental monitoring that track the control signal of the drones, could be used, the expert said, noting that after a drone is detected, it can be shot down by traditional guns, missiles and newly developed laser weapons, or it can be jammed through jammers.

State-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has developed a counter-drone system consisting of multiple weapons and equipment, including land-based rockets and drone-hunting drones that can shoot huge webs and vehicle-based detection devices, the China Central Television reported earlier this month.

China also has rifle-shaped counter-drone devices, which "shoot" jamming signals that will disrupt drones, bringing about either a forced landing or divert an intruding drone, a Shanghai-based weapons manufacturer told the Global Times.

At Airshow China 2018, CASIC showcased a vehicle-based laser weapon called LW-30, which could use a directional-emission high-energy laser to quickly intercept many kinds of aerial targets, such as photoelectric guidance equipment, drones, guided bombs, and mortars.

The drone attacks in Saudi Arabia also brought the attention of Chinese investors to the military drone and counter-drone industries, news website nbd.com.cn reported on Monday.

Chinese securities company Pacific Securities recommended shares of related Chinese companies, including CH, a major Chinese drone manufacturer that builds the CH series drones, the website said.
 
The largest user of Chinese weapon systems in India's neighbourhood has been Pakistan

By Justin Paul George September 13, 2019 14:36 IST

In 2005, Booz Allen Hamilton, a US defence consultancy, coined an arguably exotic term to describe China's plans to expand its influence in the Indian Ocean region. The 'String of Pearls' strategy revolved around the building of civilian infrastructure in maritime states stretching from the South China Sea up to the Middle East. These 'bases' would eventually be used to house Chinese military assets.

Over the years, China has vehemently denied the existence of the String of Pearls strategy and affirms its intentions are peaceful. However, China's pursuit of the One Belt, One Road initiative to expand trade and transport links with partner nations has not lessened suspicion of Beijing's ambitions. In addition to commerce, China has also been busy as a supplier of increasingly sophisticated naval hardware and technology throughout the Indian Ocean region, including many nations close to India.

In the past one week, two news reports have highlighted China's transition from being a supplier of low-cost, unsophisticated equipment to a provider of sophisticated wares. China's engagement with Thailand and Bangladesh as a supplier of high-end weaponry and associated systems arguably shows its lead over India in winning influence in the region.

Over the past decade, India has increased its engagement with nations in the Indian Ocean region such as the Seychelles, Myanmar and Vietnam. But much more needs to be done if New Delhi has to catch up with Beijing.

Thailand

On Monday, the Royal Thai Navy signed an agreement with China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation for the supply of a single 'Type-071E' amphibious assault warship.

The contract for the Type-071E ship is valued at approximately $200 million and envisions the construction of the ship in three years. When delivered, the amphibious assault ship will be the largest warship in the Royal Thai Navy, having a displacement of over 20,000 tonnes and a length of about 200 metres.

The Type-071E is based on existing Chinese Navy Type-071 amphibious assault ships and can deploy tanks, troops and helicopters. In addition to offensive roles, an amphibious assault ship like the Type-071E can also be used for humanitarian aid missions in coastal areas in the aftermath of disasters such as tsunamis.

In 2017, the Royal Thai Navy signed a $390 million contract to buy one S-26 conventionally powered submarine from China.

Bangladesh

On Thursday, BenarNews, an affiliate of Radio Free Asia, quoted a Bangladeshi official as saying China would help the country build a base for its nascent submarine fleet.

Retired colonel Faruk Khan, a member of Bangladesh's Parliamentary committees on foreign policy and defence, spoke to BenarNews about Chinese assistance for Bangladesh's first submarine base.

Khan claimed the base would be built at Cox's Bazar. In 2016, Bangladesh purchased two used 'Ming' class conventionally powered submarines from China at a cost of about $200 million. The New Age Bangladesh reported in May that construction of the proposed submarine base would cost about $1.2 billion.

In April this year, the Bangladesh Navy took delivery of two Type C13B 'corvettes' from China. Corvettes are small warships, weighing less than 2,000 tonnes, but are capable of carrying missiles, guns and torpedoes. The two vessels for Bangladesh carry anti-ship missiles and a short-range air defence system.

From Malaysia to Pakistan...

Bangladesh and Thailand are not the only countries that have turned to Chinese naval hardware in recent times. In April 2017, Malaysia signed a $286 million contract with a Chinese shipyard to deliver four 700-tonne patrol boats. While Indonesia has had disputes with China on maritime boundaries, these have not stopped Jakarta from buying anti-ship missiles from Beijing.

In July, the Sri Lankan Navy brought home a used Chinese warship meant for patrol and surveillance missions.

However, the largest user of Chinese hardware in India's neighbourhood has been Pakistan. Pakistan has ordered four 'Type-054P' frigates from China. Weighing approximately 4,000 tonnes, these ships will be the most well-armed surface ships in the Pakistan Navy, carrying long-range anti-ship and medium-range air-defence missiles. These ships are due for delivery from 2021.

In 2016, China confirmed a contract to supply eight conventionally powered submarines to Pakistan. The contract, valued at around $5 billion, envisions the supply of four submarines by 2023; another four vessels will be built in Karachi after that.

Pakistan already operates Chinese-built warships and missiles. China's involvement in the construction of the Gwadar Port in Pakistan's Makran coast continues to raise fears in the US and Delhi that Chinese warships could use the facility in the future.

Due to US embargo of weapon to Thailand. China has no such restriction and weapon price is much more suitable for the economic of Thailand.

Japan is the largest investor in Thailand if I'm correct.
Tourist which is an important sector in Thailand which employs large number of Thais. Chinese tourist is the largest source for Thai tourist industry for many years.
