China's largest drone 'Rainbow 5' makes debut

China's home-grown drone, the Rainbow 5, has successfully completed its maiden flight in Northwest China's Gansu province, China Central Television (CCTV) reported.
The drone, twice the size of other unmanned aerial vehicles developed by China in the past, also took the lead internationally, CCTV said.

China Builds A Super Heat Seeker

A new air-to-air missile (PL-10) has been seen on Chinese J-11B fighters. The PL-10 looks very similar to the South African A-Darter. This is an 89 kg (196 pound), three meter (9.3 foot) long heat seeking missiles that is highly maneuverable and resistant to countermeasures. The A-Darter is not yet in service, but is designed to be similar to the U.S. AIM-9X. A-Darter is being developed in cooperation with Brazil. It’s not known if PL-10 is actually in service. It has been described and discussed for at least three years.
The J-11 is a clone of the Russian Su-27. The J-11A is being supplanted by the J-11B. At least two squadrons of J-11Bs are in service with the air force. The original J-11 entered service in 1998, but production was very slow and only a hundred were produced. Chinese officials were dismayed with the performance of the obsolete Russian electronics. After that, at least a hundred of the 33 ton J-11A was built. This model was equipped with modern, Chinese made, electronics and is capable of using up to eight tons of radar guided air-to-air missiles and smart bombs. But the J-11B, while the same size and weight as the J-11A, has a more capable AESA radar and is intended to specialize in air-to-ground missions, while also being able to take care of itself in air-to-air combat. The navy is using a beefed up version of the J-11B (the J-11BH) on its carriers.
There appear to be about 200 J-11s in service, with about 40 percent of them J-11Bs. This is deduced by the number of cell phone photos showing up, from different air force and navy air bases.

PLAAF's J-20 Mighty Dragon 5th Gen Stealth Fighter Jet

The PLAAF's J-20 Mighty Dragon 5th generation fighter jet flew for the first time on January 11, 2011 over the Chengdu. It is powered by two indigenously developed WS-10G turbofan engines.

The prototype of the J-20 Mighty Dragon uses twin all-moving tailfins and ventral stabilizing fins.J-20's forward fuselage has been optimized like the US F-22 Raptor to reduce the frontal Radar cross section (RCS) of the aircraft.

J-20 fighter jet have a large belly weapon bay and two smaller lateral weapon bays for short/long-range AAMs (up to 8 PL-10 WVRAAM, PL-12C/D BVRAAM & Ramjet PL-21 BVRAAM).

Test Firing of HQ-16 (LY-80) Surface to Air Missile System

Chinese HQ-16 is a medium-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system which can be launched vertically. 

Vertically launched HQ-16 SAM has range of over 40 kilometers and a single launcher can carry six HQ-16 surface to air missiles.

Vertically launched HHQ-16 is a highly  maneuverability anti-air missile system which can engage extremely low flying targets flying due to its high speed of Mach 4.

People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is using the HHQ-16 SAM on its Type 054A Jiangkai II class frigates.

Yingji-82 (C-802), CSS-N-8 Saccade

The Yingji-82 or YJ-82 (Chinese: 鹰击-82, literally "Eagle Strike"; NATO reporting name: CSS-N-8 Saccade) is a Chinese anti-ship missile first unveiled in 1989 by the China Haiying Electro-Mechanical Technology Academy (CHETA), also known as the Third Academy. Due to the Yingji-82 missile's small radar reflectivity, low attack flight path (only five to seven meters above the sea surface) and strong anti-jamming capability of its guidance system, target ships have a very small chance of intercepting the missile. The single shot hit probability of the Yingji-82 is estimated to be as high as 98%. The Yingji-82 can be launched from airplanes, surface ships, submarines and land-based vehicles. Its export name is the C-802.
