International News Title: U.S. defense experts believe that the Iranian UAV crash caused substantial losses RQ-4A "Global Hawk" unmanned aerial vehicles X-47B UAV "Falcon" hypersonic aircraft British "Thunder God" UAV French "neurons" stealth unmanned attack aircraft "Predator 2" UAV RQ-7 "Shadow" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft Israel's "Harpy" drone Israeli "Heron" UAV "Fire Scout" UAV Unmanned aircraft, a nuclear aircraft carrier fleet outside the U.S. except the most powerful high-tech weapons. Delineation of the next major Japanese F-35 fighter December 8, form avant-garde sci-fi, high-tech surveillance equipment containing U.S. RQ-170 "sentinel" stealth UAV in Iranian television program, this fall in the December 4, in Iran the "sentinel" to has always been keen to engage in "Running out of UAVs," the U.S. military intelligence agencies face a large loss. According to the U.S. "Air Force Times," 9 reports, many defense experts believe that this incident will make the U.S. military suffered incalculable losses. Invisible "Sentinel" wings Iran Iran announced to the outside world, "Sentinel" stealth UAV video image, the U.S. side acknowledged that drones had already been deployed in Afghanistan bases to engage Iran more than once in-depth reconnaissance. U.S. risked triggering the risk of conflict to take covert action against Iran, simply want more precise control of Iran's nuclear program or other sensitive target information for future follow-up and then find out the route. As the only regularly by spy satellites over the target, can not achieve all-weather surveillance, U.S. troops arrived in the past can only use stealth reconnaissance UAV, to send to Iran, "Sentinel" is based on such considerations. "Sentinel" is a wingspan of 27 meters of subsonic, high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, equipped with sophisticated cameras and sensors. United States 'global security' person in charge of John. Parker claims that the long-term surveillance by unmanned aerial vehicles, the United States can find out for Iran to launch weapons of mass destruction against the best time to plant. However, the "sentinel" unexpected crash, the wishful thinking of the U.S. military may come to nothing, or even to bring a series of additional losses. Right now, the U.S. military is worried about "Sentinel" on the advanced technology is its potential adversaries access to and use. Some experts view the , Is simply the consequences of this incident when the former Soviet Union with the U.S. U-2 reconnaissance plane shot down by the losses caused by par. "9.11" terrorist attacks, the U.S. war on terror broke out. Clear surface, the U.S. ground forces in the bombers, aircraft carriers in cooperation with the overthrow of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein, support from the pro-American regime; secret, a secret U.S. military intelligence agencies of the drone reconnaissance or penetration bomb sovereign countries. Secret war causes outrage And from Iraq, Afghanistan and the appearance of withdrawal compared to UAVs but led a secret war has gradually expand. In addition to deployment in the Middle East, South Asia, the UAV base in Asia Pacific and Africa, the U.S. military has also selected a number of UAV base, the UAV is eyeing potential targets: "Global Hawk" can be used for strategic reconnaissance; "Predator" "predators" in charge of tactical reconnaissance and targeted killings; "Sentinel", X-47B carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicle solely on the secret penetration and precision attack ... to the secret war UAVs for the main layout is already forming. U.S. military unmanned aerial vehicles to fight a secret war, is simply to maximize the technological advantages. However, excessive use of UAVs will enable the U.S. military troubled. U.S. drone in Pakistan, long-term "accident", the people of Pakistan ignited anger. Iran, the U.S. military unmanned aerial vehicles this fall, also led to Iran's strong protest. Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Vice-Chairman test Surrey also warned that if intruded into the airspace of the country is a combat aircraft, attack Iran would force all U.S. military bases around the world. Clearly, UAVs rely on secret war in sensitive areas is likely to provoke a war or conflict, and ultimately bring disaster to the U.S. military itself. (According to "News of the World") U.S. worried: fear of potential adversaries to obtain sensitive technology Zhang Bo military scholars believe that Iran's "capture" of this model should be used more advanced link16 U.S. military data link technology, all kinds of advanced U.S. military technology is also complex, including its aerodynamic performance, stealth properties. If Iran UAV technology to crack the U.S., we can understand the U.S. military command and control system data transfer mode, composition and weaknesses of U.S. intelligence collection system a lot of influence. Zhang Bo said, worried that the United States there are two issues, namely, how Iran is playing down the aircraft, the second is how to deal with it. Iran may help in a big country shot down unmanned aerial vehicles, far more than the strength of the United States may also be expected, independent shoot down UAV. Whatever may be, the United States are at risk. United States is more worried about a big country with close ties to Iran to obtain UAV, its reverse analysis to find the soft underbelly of the U.S. military, weaken its combat capability, the ability to challenge the U.S. strategic deterrent. There are reports that Iranian diplomats have been to Russia, and Russia discuss the issue of UAVs. (According to the Beijing News) U.S. Expert Weapon: the crash will become commonplace, the only solution is to deploy more UAVs Unlike the U.S. military and political level of disclosure of the crash showed concerns about the U.S. "small war" magazine editor Robert. Ha Dike stand out, showing a rational and objective military experts. Ha Dike in "Foreign Policy" magazine wrote: "When you send a robot to participate in the war, the occasional loss will be inevitable." In Ha Dike, the United States from the lessons learned from the crash should not be to curb the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, but should be developed and deployed more "intelligent" and more "capable" of unmanned aerial vehicles, and to withstand the use of UAVs brought a variety of risks. Ha Dike said the CIA has launched a campaign against Iran "long and wide," the aerial reconnaissance operations, if the crash stop using UAVs, manned aircraft, but to perform this task, it would take the pilot's life is equal to gambling The move will no doubt limit the scope of surveillance activities and persistence. However, the military experts have warned that future UAVs will be more expensive, technology will be more advanced, but the use of more sensitive components and technology, more and more of the crash will be inevitable, policymakers will have to accept this kinds of risk. If you want to get more benefits by unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs must be equipped with more. (According to "News of the World") UAV whole incident December 4 Iran broke the news media, the Iranian air defense forces in the eastern border of the country shot down a U.S. unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. The Pentagon refused to respond. December 5 Pentagon spokesman said there is no indication UAV was shot down, but worried about Iran's access to relevant technologies. December 8 Iranian television public display of U.S. military unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. December 12 Iranian officials said that Iran intends to imitate the U.S. military intercepted UAV. December 13 U.S. government for the first time publicly acknowledged UAV lies in the hands of Iran, President Barack Obama to personally speak to the Yi Langsuo. The world's top ten UAVs 1.RQ-4A "Global Hawk" unmanned aerial vehicles RQ-4 "Global Hawk" is the world's longest flight from the farthest, the highest altitude UAV, the aircraft has created the world and still maintain a record number of UAV field. In addition to the United States, "Global Hawk" unmanned aerial vehicles has also been authorized in Australia, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Honduras and other countries airspace. 2.X-47B UAV X-47B unmanned aircraft is the latest American research UAV, will also be the first to achieve unmanned bombers taking off and landing aircraft. In addition to having the land, the aircraft carrier operations and automated aerial refueling capabilities, will also verify the persistent surveillance, tracking and precise all-weather precision strike capabilities. 3. "Falcon" hypersonic aircraft The United States in April 2010 flight over the Pacific Ocean, called the second generation of "Falcon" (HTV-2) of the vehicle, can carry five tons of supplies to more than five times the speed of sound flight within 2 hours 17,000 km, reach anywhere in the world, more than intercontinental range. 4 British "Thunder God" UAV July 12, 2010, the British company BAE's first high-tech stealth unmanned aircraft unveiled its awesome "futuristic" look exactly like the movie "Star Wars" in the aircraft. "God of Thunder" stealth powerful, almost ground radar will not be found; artificial intelligence and automatic identification system so that it can carry out surveillance and reconnaissance of enemy; for high-speed intercontinental flight, the missile can be equipped with intercontinental-range strike. 5 French "neurons" no stealth attack aircraft X-45 test flight in the United States and two kinds of X-47 unmanned stealth attack aircraft, the French lead, the European countries involved in the development of "neurons" no stealth attack aircraft then appeared, and intends to conduct fire tests in 2012 (which may be thrown a guided bomb). "Neurons" machine is about 10 meters, a wingspan of about 12 m, total weight about 6,000 kg, the flight speed of about Mach 0.8. The machine has a low detectability, using flying wing layout, extensive use of composite materials, install two internal weapons bays. 6. "Predator" series of unmanned aerial vehicles "Predator" in 1994 started to develop, the size of a half of the F-16, cruising speed 126 km / h, the life time of 40 hours. Initially mainly used for reconnaissance in 2001, an increase of the laser sight and "Hellfire", "Hellfire" missile launch capability. In the Iraq war, "Predator" has been at war with the MiG-25 became the first direct air to air combat UAVs. 7.RQ-7 "Shadow" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft RQ-7 is a "shadow" latest in a series of unmanned aircraft systems, to enjoy "the Army's eyes," the name, can be detected from the Army brigade tactical operations center 125 km away goal in the 8000 feet altitude all-weather reconnaissance and ground vehicles; can also provide near-precision weapons targeting data. 8 Israel "Harpy" drone In the 1997 Paris Air Show, the Israeli Harpy UAVs for the first time in public. "Harpy" anti-radar equipped with sensors and a bomb, received the enemy radar, the radar can be independent of the attack, known as the "air banshee" and "radar killer." In 2000, Korea spent $ 52 million to introduce 100 Harpy unmanned aerial vehicles. 9 Israeli "Heron" UAV "Heron" has a "Predator"-like eyes, the payload of 1 ton, the nose below the "long" a pod-like, which is equipped with sensors that target high-altitude reconnaissance, eavesdropping enemy's electronic communications, the future may act as a tanker, the voyage to other UAV refueling. Israel is also envisaged as a "Heron" installation of air to air missiles, as Israel's air defense network, the "anti-missile pioneer." 10.RQ-8 "Fire Scout" UAV Superb surveillance capability is "Fire Scout," the main features, in addition to America's most advanced mine detection system ASTAMIDS air will also be equipped with the future, regularly deployed to detect surface mines, buried mines, obstacles, combat vehicles and camouflaged targets . In June 2003 a trial, a "Fire Scout" communication links between ground stations and its been deliberately interrupted, but it is scheduled to return to the last point of independent and self-landing and shut down the engine. (Xinhua) Delineation of the next major Japanese F-35 fighter Next year will purchase four stealth fighters will eventually acquire 40 According to Japan's Kyodo News reported on 13 December the Japanese government decided to adopt a US-led international joint research and development of the latest stealth fighter F-35 Air Self Defense Force as a next-generation main fighter (FX). 16 at which the Security Council of a formal decision, and the annual budget in 2012 included the acquisition of four aircraft. Eventually, the Japanese will buy about 40 F-35 (can be composed of two squadrons). 3 F-35 is the only candidate models with the performance of fifth-generation stealth fighter, but also equipped with the latest radar and share information with the wingman "data link system." Japanese media said that Japan chose F-35 fully reflected in the safety and security of the United States seriously. Japan, the main active fighter has been the aging F-4, need to be updated. Annual imports of the Japanese government hopes the first four products, domestic enterprises to participate as much as possible after manufacture. The leading developer of U.S. F-35 Lockheed. Martin said, including engine assembly, the main wing and other major parts manufacturing and final assembly of the body can be done in Japan. (New) Japan said: choose F-35 developed by China and Russia Influence the next generation of stealth fighter Who will dominate the future of the sky and the guard, the next generation of a country depends largely on the main fighters, while the main fighter plane of choice is often also by the surrounding political and military ecology. Japanese media reported that Japan selected the F-35 background is important in China and Russia are committed to developing the next generation of stealth fighter, Japan and the U.S. speculated that China's fifth generation fighter "F 20" service is scheduled for 2018, while Russia's newest fighter sharp T-50 will be the first mass production in 2015.
