These new tracs appear to be part of China’s new class of armored vehicles that recently entered service as an eventual replacement of the older Type 86 and 89 armored [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://defensetech.org/2012/02/07/eye-candy-chinas-new-armored-vehicles/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>59</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Friday Eye Candy: China’s Newest Attack Helo</title><link>http://defensetech.org/2012/02/03/friday-eye-candy-chinas-newest-attack-helo/</link> <comments>http://defensetech.org/2012/02/03/friday-eye-candy-chinas-newest-attack-helo/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:28:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>John Reed</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Arms Trade]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Around the Globe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[China Rising]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eye on China]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Planes, Copters, Blimps]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://defensetech.org/?p=16320</guid> <description><![CDATA[Check out these latest photos of China’s newest attack helo, the Z-19. The twin-seat bird, an updated version of the Z-9W that’s been in service since the 1990s, is just one more example of China’s military modernization. If the chopper’s lines look vaguely familiar, it’s because the bird is based on the Eurocopter Dauphin series, [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://defensetech.org/2012/02/03/friday-eye-candy-chinas-newest-attack-helo/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>118</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>China’s Carrier Getting Ready for Flight Ops?</title><link>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/11/chinas-carrier-getting-ready-for-flight-ops/</link> <comments>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/11/chinas-carrier-getting-ready-for-flight-ops/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:25:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>John Reed</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Around the Globe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Balance of Power]]></category> <category><![CDATA[China Rising]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eye on China]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sea Services]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ships and Subs]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://defensetech.org/?p=15988</guid> <description><![CDATA[Well, if we need a hint that China’s first aircraft carrier, the ex-soviet Varyag is getting ready for flight operations, this might be it. These pictures show ex-Varyag’s crew conducting what looks like a FOD sweep of the ship’s flight deck. Remember, we saw a Z-8 helo operating around her flight deck just before her [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/11/chinas-carrier-getting-ready-for-flight-ops/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>28</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>X-37B Likely Spying on China’s Space Station</title><link>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/06/x-37b-likely-spying-on-chinas-space-station/</link> <comments>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/06/x-37b-likely-spying-on-chinas-space-station/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 06 Jan 2012 21:57:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>John Reed</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Air Force]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Around the Globe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bizarro]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cloak and Dagger]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Drones]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eye on China]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Space]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://defensetech.org/?p=15958</guid> <description><![CDATA[We may finally have a clue what the U.S. Air Force’s secret space plane, the X-37B, is up to on its record breaking mission in the heavens. Amatuer satellite trackers have noticed that the robo-shuttle’s orbital path is nearly identical to China’s brand new space station, Tiangong-1, which was launched in September. Remember, the X-37B [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/06/x-37b-likely-spying-on-chinas-space-station/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>58</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ok Guys, Who Sent Patriot Missiles to China?

The best part? The arsenal is hidden inside thousands of miles of tunnels all over the massive country.
