Some amazing stuff from China. I think China are entering the realm of elite military manufacturers and developers. Congratulations.

UAV Pterodactyl / Wing Loong...

I heard that the United Arab Emirates have brought some Wing Loong UCAV, and it seems that some african countries are also interested by this drone...

I don't know if someone remember this video, shown in the last Zhuhai Air Show 2010 by 611th Institut, on the development and ground attack testing of Wing Loong UCAV...

According to the CEO of CATIC (China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation), 11 countries are interested by FC-1/JF-17 aircraft and 10 of them have already performed flight evaluations...

These 11 countries are Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Congo, Egypt, Iran, Nigeria, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Zimbabwe.

Pakistan is in dire need of these UCAVs more than anything else. Hopefully they will acquire a few pieces, to blow up TTP.

Super job on bringing us the show in our homes. Really appreciate your efforts. Really envy you as you can touch the stuff and smell the burning JP-8.

Keep it up.

LY-80, a medium range SAM system, probably derivated and downgraded from HQ-16A system...

If I'm not wrong -

* HQ-16, the original version, is a pure naval SAM system
* HQ-16A, for PLA Ground force, is derivated from the naval HQ-16
* HQ-16B, also for PLA Ground force, is derivated from HQ-16A, with Active/Passive double seekers technology
* HQ-16(G), is under development for chinese marine, it is derivated from HQ-16 and probably some technologies from HQ-16B

I read an article recently about HQ-16. It is a pretty deadly weapon. It has speed of 3Xsound speed and can hit low flying object (15 from the ground), and is a perfect (sort of) defence against incoming planes, guided precision weapons, and missiles (perhaps such as Indian Brahmos). One unit of system can track 8 objects simultaneously and attacks 4 of them… It needs only 13 minutes to transit from mobile state to combat ready state...and more.
