published in July, according to Canada, “Chinese Defense Review” magazine, southwest China’s air force is important to speed up the city’s air defense weapons to upgrade, is responsible for two surface to air missiles to defend the camp in Chengdu has a comprehensive facelift of new missile flag -64 , this means that this important industrial city in southwest China have a more robust “air defense shield.”

reported that the PLA air missile units has consistently adhered to “active defense” strategy, advanced equipment, always give priority to the need of front-line border, intended to “resist the enemy outside the gates.” But with the increasing complexity of modern air combat, the Chinese mainland cities have begun to provide better air defense weapons, red -64 stationed in Chengdu is the performance of this trend.

“Chinese and” the Chinese Air Force in Chengdu, surface to air missiles deployed near the red flag -64, developed by Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, the technology from Italy’s Alenia, “viper” -2000 missiles, mainly used to attack low-altitude aircraft and cruise missiles. The missile has anti-jamming capability of the “semi-active radar, the radio added,” guidance system, the maximum range of 18 km. Each missile can handle 40 targets simultaneously, track 12 targets, and three of them to be intercepted.

red dress for the PLA Chengdu -64 missiles, “Chinese and” its and India’s military build-linked, said India’s new aircraft and ballistic missiles have the ability to attack China’s interior. Despite the overall development of Sino-Indian relations in recent years is good, but the Indian military’s “two bets” strong thought, “China threat theory” is still the market.

Fortunately, the tireless research by the researchers, the Chinese air missile units in recent years to accelerate hardware upgrades, HQ-9, Red -12, -64, etc. with the red flag of the world advanced level with the troops after another new missile, which effectively improved the air-defense capacity.

“Chinese and” analysis, on the strategic direction of the west, the People’s Liberation Army has been deployed in Yunnan Red -12 missiles, production is still small, the HQ-9 long-range surface-priority supply Lanzhou Military Region, in order to threats against U.S. forces in Afghanistan. From this, China is actively respond to the use of advanced equipment, air threat, protect key domestic goals.
