Im trying to make a list of PLA equipment they have got in 2005. Like a easy refernece to equipment instead of looking around webpages. I haven't put numbers on everything and i haven't covered everything so can the chiense members help fill it out
Here is a list of chinese equipment
The chinese armed forces are called the Peoples liberation army(PLA for short). The ground forces are also called the PLA the Navy the PLAN and the airforce the PLAAF.
China currently has 2.3 million men under arms. 1.6million being involed in ground operations and support whilst the remainder being in the navy and air force. Currently chinese forces are under going extensive moderisation and reform which by 2010 we will see a much more leaner PLA but more high tech also.
-------
PLAAF
The PLAAF is composed of 330,000 personnel. The PLAAF is in control of all airborne assets and Anti aircraft systems. The PLAAF currently operates 3,500aircraft and over 1000 SAM systems. It is going to be slimmed down soon and will have a lower pilot to aircraft ratio increasing the standard of training
Here is a brief break down on the aircraft and SAMs
J-10 - From engine purchases, we know that there are more than 40 J-10 in production or produced. Numbers for a plane like this is a big what if but my rough estimate is that by 2010 there will be 100+ in chinese service depending on more engine purchases on the WS-10A program
J-11- China has a confired figure of 90-100J-11s already produced with a possible 100 more depending if the contract is still valid. i roughly say that 70% will be upgraded to the J-11B standard
Su-27SK. A total of 76 aircraft has been confirmed. This is also a what if considering how well J-11B upgrades go. but i say about 70% of these will be upgraded
Su-30MKK - 76 of these multi-role aircraft have been confirmed and wouldn't recieve upgrades now or near future
Su-30MKK2 - This shouldn't really be included in this because it is a Anti-ship model and china is not going to get close to indias navy
Su-30MKK3 - It has been rumoured on the internet tat china will recieve its own MKI standard aircraft. But from all these new upgrades it seems unlikey that chian wil buy more aircraft but this cant be ruled out
FC-1 - It is quite possible that the PLAAF will recieve this aircraft. With all these new upgrades being rumoured it would be very attractive for the PLAAF to buy in bulk to replace F-6s and all early model F-7s and J-8s. This aircraft from its rumoured pictures looks pretty forminable. DSI and a little influence from the F-18 i wouldn't count it out.
J-7 - China has 500 of these planes which are upgraded and now able to fire AAM and do a little bombing. But it has very short legs
J-8II - This aircraft is still a mistery to me. What is the PLAAF going to do with this aircraft make more or leave and upgrade. 240 have already been built ranging from a primitive plane to the J-8H which fires BVR missiles.
-----
SAM
FT-2000 / HQ-9 - This SAM system range of 12 ~ 100 km. The FT-2000 is a anti-radtion missile and is used to hunt AWACS aircraft
S-300PMU - Russian SAM china has brougt numerous launchers. A possible anti cruise missile function
HQ-7 (FM-80) - A low attitude anti aircraft missile with limited anti missile capability. range of 15km
HQ-2- old ass missile all with upgrade electric gear.
----------
PLA
The PLA forces are divided into 7 military regions which are called the following
Shenyang MR
Beijing MR
Lanzhou MR
Jinan MR
Nanjing MR
Guangzhou MR
Chengdu MR
Here is a map
[img=564x563]http://www.wikiverse.org/media/e/e9/china_military_regions.jpg[/img]
The PLA is a large and mainly obsolete force consisting of 8,000 tanks, 4,000 armoured vehicles, and 25,000 artillery guns and multiple rocket launchers (MRLs). The PLA use to be focused on large numbers to overwhelm technolocially superior frces but nowdays like the other branches of the PLA are going through reforum and moderisation.
Chinas army is composed of 258,000 men trained to american standards with the rest supports this elite force. they are chinas RRU which leave to a crisis in under 24hours.
PLA TANKS
Type 98/G- This is the PLAs greatess tank. There are about 200 tanks in service according to forum chit chat. Stationed in the beijing military distict as a spearhead againest invading forces.
Type 96- This tank is the touted to be the main PLA tank for the majority of the PLA tank force. It is about the same standar as the T-98 but has a lower price and a little less sofiticated inside
Type 88/80 /Type 59/Type 79/69 - These tanks have about the same capability so i grouped them together(and because im to lazy). This tank is the back bone of the PLA tank force. Some are being upgraded some are not. And these upgrades will give any MBT a challenge
----
Anti tank missiles
The PLA has numerous ATGM in its arsenal and any invasion of chian will be met by thousands of them
HJ-9 - This is the PLAs newest anti tank missile with a Armour Penetration of 1,200mm. It is deployed on moblie platforms.
HJ-8 - The chinese milan. Not becauses its the chiense milan copy but it has similar cpabilities. Armour Penetration 800 ~ 1,000 mm
HJ-73- This missile has been involed enough to give it a new name. It has laser gudience on its newest version and a better warhead Armour Penetration: >500mm
PLA/parartroops/marines.
~ The PLA has numerous speical force units and gets the most funding out of all PLA branches. They are well equipped for their operations and are well trained.
~ chinas 15th Airborne Corps is its paratroops. It has three divisions of 10,000Men and its not known if the whole 15th airborne can be transported at once.
~ The Marine Corps has about 14,000 groups organised in brigades.
A typical marine brigade includes:
* An armour regiment, consisting of two tank battalions (Type 63A amphibious tank) and three mechanised infantry battalions (Type 86 IFV and Type 63/89 APC with special modifications for long distance swimming)
* A marine infantry battalion (about 750 personnel)
* A special operations force battalion
* A missile battalion (HJ-73/HJ-8 ATGM and HN-5 shoulder-launched air defence missile)
* An engineering and chemical defence battalion
* A communications and electronic warfare battalion
Each Military region in china has 1,000 or more RRP under its command they are used for speical operations and are well trained.
--------------------------------
Navy..
The PLAN has been getting the most funding from the PRC government out of all forces. It has been getting two different versions of destroyers instead of having to go for one type of system each. It was a mainly submarine fleet but in recent years has been getting more and more destroyers and large surface fleets.
