China Unveils First Home-Made Helicopter Gunship

Less than a month following reports that Pakistan allowed China to view the remains of the top-secret stealth helicopter that SEAL Team 6 left behind at the bin Laden compound, China has begun combat testing of its first home-made helicopter gunship. ITN News on the growing military power’s publicity stunt to unveil the aircraft:
China’s Defense Ministry denied reports in mid-August that officials had viewed the U.S. vehicle remains in Pakistan.
The Telegraph reports that despite China’s repeated assurances that it plans a “peaceful rise”, the US and many regional powers are openly expressing concerns about China’s military build-up.
A U.S. Defense Department report released Wednesday called alarm to China’s maritime ambitions and push into weapons technologies that the U.S. has long dominated, WSJ:
“The Pentagon took special note of Beijing’s aspiration to project naval power beyond its territorial waters. In the past year, China has alarmed the U.S. and its neighbors with a more combative stance on territorial disputes in the East and South China seas. Earlier this month, China sent its first aircraft carrier on sea trials. While China‘s navy ’retains a decidedly regional focus,‘ the report said Chinese warships ’will play a growing role in protecting China’s far-flung interests.’”
China spent $160billion on its military in 2010.

Posted on August 27, 2011 at 11:47pmHigh tech for the 70′s. Exactly how “new” do you think our helicopters are? Most were built and designed in the 60′s, 70′s, and 80′s. As far as the airframe and power plant is concerned they are more or less as advanced as anything we have. The avionics and weapon systems though are where the money is these days. When they start fielding advanced munition I’l start being nervous.

Posted on August 28, 2011 at 12:06am“Home made” The only thing China does itself is steal the technology and then manufacture it. Why our world leaders continue to allow record numbers of Chinese students, experts, and workers (spies) enter our best universities and corporations and then piece by piece they steal technology and put the pieces together back home. The Chinese are lying thieves and will do anything to use Americans in any way and then laugh at our incredible ignorance as we fall never to get up again.

Posted on August 28, 2011 at 9:14pmI’m not too worried about china for a few reasons.
1. I believe in the American people. I believe we will set things straight and continue to be the strongest nation on the planet. Also, as far as how bad things are now, things have been worse for us before.
2. China may be making leaps and bounds when it comes to things like economic growth and military strenght, but it won’t last long for a few reasons. A) We are not the only ones in debt. Besides all the other nations in debt, China is also in a lot of debt. They owe us 750 billion dollars, but they refuse to repay it (I think we should refuse to pay our debt to them and call it even :D ) B) They have taken some pretty risks to try to continue the growth of their economy. These risks will, and are already beginning to hurt them. In fact, you know the housing bubble here? Yeah, imagine that like 100 times worse and in china (probably even worse than that). The Chinese government has built over 2 dozen whole cities (ya know, ones that are the size of New York and even bigger… wonder how much that cost them). They built the cities in anticipation of people moving into them as the nation became more industrialized. Well, almost no one has moved into them. This means that an extremely huge bubble will soon pop and their economy will literaly come crashing down on them. C) The United States most likely has a ton of secret technology still waiting to be pulled out.

Posted on August 29, 2011 at 9:50am@flyingfish,
In case you haven’t noticed, our aircraft are not just the same old designs that were put into service in the 60′s, 70′s, and 80′s. Since then we have upgraded all of our fixed and rotary wing assets with new avionics suites and we have continuously done airframe and engine upgrades to them. The oldest flying assets that we have are probably the CH-46′s that the Marines ride in and they are one of the most dependable aircraft in the fleet. However, they are all planned to be replaced with the Osprey very soon. Also, our attack helicopters have been redesigned and new ones are being built like the yankee and zulu huey and cobra. Both of these new rotary wings are currently in production and being fielded currently in training and service squadrons. These new birds are far more nimble, powerful, faster, and have higher payload capacities. To top it off, they are also cheaper to maintain because the electronics are more sturdy, the aircraft share even more of the same parts, and they are built to today‘s standards and with today’s technology. The reason that it appears that our fleet is made up of old birds is because we have done such a good job maintaining them that those assets just keep flying. Also, it is far more cost effective to fly our planes that we already have that are still capable and valuable assets without having to buy an entirely new arsenal.

yeah, we have have the CAPABILITY to make very advanced weapons technologies. You could term those as decades ahead of others. The reason that this means nothing would be that the government does not fund production. They study for decades, with billions in R&D, then determine that it would cost too much to build and scrap it. Throwing those billions in R&D up a wild horses @$$. Meanwhile the Chinese hack the research computers and build it themselves. See F-22.
