KLub-S is a whole system, It includes sonar, guidence and three missiles. Anti-ship, Anti-submarine, and land attack cruise missile.
One of the main roles of the kilo submarines in PLAN service is maritne patrol which would suggest they are anti-ship and not land attack. Taiwan is only 100km from the chinese mainland and if a LACM or another missile type weapon were needed it wouldn't be fitted on very expensive submarines

All the chinese wargames are aimed at making chinas military more efficent and to practice a invasion of taiwan. Peace mission 2005 was aimed at that. in 1999 there was a 500,000 man wargames aimed at that. the 700 missiles aimed at taiwan is for that. the airforce moderization is aimed at that. chinas submarine moderization is aimed at that.

A Ballistic missile travels much faster than a ship or plane and once the AWACS has it in range than it will launch and reach the target in about 5 minutes depending on the distance the carrier is away. The only reason the PLA would attack the carrier is if the USAF intervened in a taiwan conflict. That would mean the carrier would be close to the mainland
We are not talking about a ICBM missile but a SRBM. China has roughly 800 of these missiles next to the coast near taiwan. The stated range of the original missile is 150~500m CEP while the new missile fitted with GPS and a active guidence system is between 35-50m.
That is a generous under-estimation since the system has a GPS like system attached
The PLA is the only force in the world that practises salvo lanuchs. Two 2nd artillery batteries would be assigned to each carrier. That is 5 lanuchers each and about 10 missiles.
Theres no reprogramming. Its a datalink, active guidence. TVM....Like i've been saying that last few pages

Yes but does china keep its missiles on full alert status 24 hours a day?
The chinese sea is a BIG place and looking for one group of ships which might be your carrier group or not.
150 metres is a big distance....even with this large "claymore" style weapon do you think you can destroy a carrier?
You know who controls the GPS system....right?
Hmm 10 missiles with this "scatter gun" effect? Impressive but how much prep time do these battalions need?
Still can the missiles adjust for a moving target while in thier terminal stage?

I was also asking as different Klub-S missiles have different ranges/payloads/speeds.

3M-54E and possibly the 91RE1 for anti-submarine warfare

All PLA 2nd artillery are assigned with two crews, The a battilon in the 2nd artillery is twice as big as a infantry one. Some of the 2nd artillery units are kept on 24 hour standby because china is still at war with taiwan. But like i said before, the PLA will only attack if the US attacks first or looks like it will be attacking soon which would require all PLA units to be on standby
There are numerous ways to find an aircraft carrier, One would be CNN which screened the carriers location in 1996 when china launched missiles over taiwan.
Also china does have a bunch of sateillites in orbit which could track the carriers movements
You will think the whole chinese coast wouldn't be filled with fighters?
Its not 150m its 35~50 meters.
You probaly should look into the effect radius of the claymore and factor in 350kg of explosives
I said GPS like system. BeiDou-1 is already in PLA service and provides GPS like signals throughout asia
None. If a carrier was close enough they would have already prepared for lanuch. Once its lanuched its guided by information from the datalink
Just like any other missile will, Its active guidence, follows the "dot on the radar"
SAMs are aimed at planes much faster than a carrier. although the ballistic missile moves faster than the SAM the SAM has to hit a target much faster. The SM-III reportly hits ballistic missiles which is a bigger challenge than a ballistic missile to ship hit

So china will attack south east asia for no reason even though relations have been better than ever?. Even though the chinese populations in south east asia control their respective economies
ou please tell me why the chinese army has done the following things
#1 - Stated in numerous conferences about invading taiwan
#2 - five war games in the last year alone focusing on invasion of a country strangly similar to taiwan
#3 - Trained personal in short endurance amphibious invasions with the same distance as taiwan
#4 - Peace mission 2005 map very similar to the cost near Taichung city in taiwan

To be honuest your going to keep your rockets fully fueled and prepped 24 hours a day on the off chance that you MIGHT have a carrier in the thousands of square miles?
How can you tell where they are? The ocean holds no land marks dude!
Yes but most likely they'll be shot down by the USAF.
Firghters dont have the legs to reach the carrier without tankers and that requires indepth planning.
With GPS, which the yanks would most likely turn off.
Yes and as I mentioned earlier, how easy would it be to destroy such a satalite or even shut it down.
How do you know when a carrier is close enough?
This is no Super mobile cruise missile remember, a ballistic missile first goes up then uses gravity to let it drop. Also this D-25, what did you state the CEP for it?

Erm right, I said vompletely the opposite, maybe you should wear glasses next time. Once again you compltely miscomprehend a simple statement.
Chest beating nothing more. If you think otherwise then you really should learn more about the realities of the PRC - ROC relationship. yet claim to know the intentions of the government
I know otherwise, I actually speak and intereact with peole in China all teh time - I live here

""The Chinese want to build up their forces to break american homogeny in Asia and the Pacific"""
Sounds like it to me
I talk to the people on china-defense.com, experts in their field. Xinhui (moderator) was asked by congress to give his opinion of the chinese military. Other members hold dipolmas on china relations. I learn their opinions, who do you know?. taiwanese ndustralist?
Also you might like to read the papers published in china and watch CCTV 4 for chinese language news or CCTV 9 for english chinese news. My understandings of china far outweigh your meage knowledge
1# - Common people dont know and dont care what happens
2# - Far away from any important centres
3# - They only know what they read in chinese media (which you ahve criticsed for being censored)
Taiwan and China will reunify, with a system like HK.

Like I said you can't comprehend much
You wouldn't knw who you're talking to half the time. As I said you don't live in CHina you have no idea of the pulse of the people.
Many members have pinted out your lies.
The fact that I intereact with people from bth countries gives me an insight far greater than you could ever understand, reading a few opsts from your " experts " - you know most "experts" turn out to be wrong.
You do know that people in the major cities express the same opinions adn that the internet isn't really censored.

You said that was the place you lived when i caught you out with two accounts then someone questioned the location and know the story is, its a factory name

Or the day taiwan has a national referendum.
The design of the missile were not designed to hit a carier in particular but it allows it to hit one
You dont give coordinates based on landmarks but on longitude and latitude
Your going to refer to some "black project"?
You might like to check which fighters china has. Your thinking on the lines on a missile attack on the USN with ballistic missiles alone which i am not getting at.
Fighters will already be up there in the air fighting taiwanese fighters
ITS NOT GPS
You want me to play fairy tales to?
When it as radar contact
Refer back to the top page and previous post. Can you see the fins on the missile
Originally posted by devilwasp
Your telling me you'll keep the missiles at 24 hour readiness as soon as they have a referendum? Bit oppresive isnt it?
So how do you tell where they are if they just show shots of aircraft flying off the deck?
en.wikipedia.org...
One F-15 and an ASAT is all it takes.
Ofcourse they will, hence why the USN would place a carrier within range of taiwan, OUT of range of the PLAAF aircraft.
en.wikipedia.org...
Fairy tales?
So the PLAAF has radar able to identify the class of a ship?
Yes they only guide it on its way down, even they have limits.

Anyways BS all you want, the fact remains you live in country Victoria in Southern Australia.
I live in China - who would know more about the situation, certainly not you.
I am beginning to doubt you've ever been to CHina,
yoeu sem to use other peopels opinions you find on the internet.
LOL and you didn't catch me with 2 accounts, it is well know to alot of moderators adn members, long before you " discovered "
