Japan, Type 10 (MBT) Hitomaru-shiki


Type 10

The Type 10 (10式戦車, Hitomaru-shiki sensha) is a fourth-generation Japanese main battle tank, manufactured since 2010 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces (JSDF), where it entered service in January 2012. The latter which was designed to support the Type 90 tank and replace the Type 74 which was made obsolete in 2012. Compared to other main battle tanks currently serving in the JGSDF, the Type 10 has been equipped with improvements in its ability to respond to antitank warfare and other contingencies.

China, Harbin Z-19


Harbin Z-19 Black Whirlwind

The Harbin Z-19 Black Whirlwind, also initially referred to as the ZW-19, is a light reconnaissance and attack helicopter that was developed from the Harbin Z-9W by the Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation of the People's Republic of China for the Chinese Air Force. People's Liberation Army and People's Liberation Army Ground Forces aviation units. It made its first flight in 2011 and was introduced to service during 2012. It currently has more than 200 units produced. Its general designer was the aeronautical engineer Wu Ximing (吴希明) of the 602 Research Institute, who after graduating from the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1984, became one of the main and most important figures involved in the 863 Program for the development of advanced technologies in a wide range of fields with the purpose of making China a state financially independent of foreign technologies.

At the 9th Zhuhai Air Show in November 2012, the China Aviation Industry Corporation formally announced the official names of the CAIC WZ-10 and Harbin WZ-19 attack helicopters through a televised press conference. Both attack helicopters were named after fictional characters from At the Water's Edge (水滸傳, Shuihu Zhuan), one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. The CAIC WZ-10 was named Lightning Fire (Pili Huo, 霹雳火), Qin Ming's nickname in the novel, while the WZ-19 was named Black Whirlwind (Hei Xuanfeng, 黑旋风), Li Kui's nickname. another fictional character from the novel. However, the helicopter's designation was later changed from ZW-19 to Z-19, as the People's Liberation Army Air Force chose to use the ZW (Wúrén Zhēnchá, 无人侦察, Unmanned Reconnaissance) designation for their aerial vehicles. unmanned. In this way, these helicopters used in China are designated Z-19 Black Whirlwind, while their export variants will be identified as Wǔzhuāng Zhíshēngjī, 武装直升机, attack helicopter).

The Harbin Z-19 is an upgraded tandem-seat version of the Harbin Z-9W helicopter, which itself had been a license-produced version of the Eurocopter Dauphin. Like the aircraft on which it was based, the Z- 19 features a fenestron-type tail rotor, a feature that reduces the noise level and thus allows it to achieve a certain level of acoustic stealth. The exhausts of its two WZ-8C turboshaft engines were also designed to reduce noise. helicopter's infrared signature, but unlike most other attack helicopters, the Z-19 lacks a nose-mounted machine gun or autocannon. However, it is equipped with a millimeter wave fire control radar, a turret with a FLIR camera, TV and a laser rangefinder for the use of air-to-ground missiles. Its two crew, seated in crash-resistant seats and protected by armor, they can also use helmet-mounted display (HMD) systems.

In an alternate timeline...

Grumman's successful updating of the F-14B and F-14D variants would pave the way for plans to create evolved versions of the Tomcat. Taking advantage of its growth potential, the F-14D "Quickstrike" and eventually, the ASF-14 were projected successors of the existing F-14 frame.

These advanced Tomcats were proposed as alternatives to the NATF (Naval Advanced Tactical Fighter) Program. Itself facing a significant challenge of navalizing the F-22. The need for a next generation NAVAIR machine further gained significance in light of the sudden termination of the VLO A-12 and the rejection of the "Super Hornet" proposal. The US Navy's NATF was subsequently left with a selection of advanced Tomcat variants to meet an extensive operational requirement. By 1994, a completely new proposal had emerged to meet NATF needs. With assistance from Lockheed Martin, the newly merged Northrop Grumman presented the F-28, befittingly named "Tomcat II". USN leadership was notably impressed and the green light was given for production.

In many ways, the F-28 is a drastic redevelopment of the previous ASF-14 aided with experience gained from the A-12 and F-22. Basing the F-28 on the existing F-14 frame proved to be a cost saving measure in its own right. Technologies and systems initially created for the ASF-14 were refined for the Tomcat II. Composite construction, advanced fly-by wire and high power propulsion systems with TVN potential are significant highlights. However, the F-28's inherent VGW configuration marks a compromise of "partial stealth" that characterizes the airframe in the Generation 4.5 classification. Still, the F-28 adopts internal weapons bays and other RCS reduction measures to improve its VLO capability.

By 1996, the YF-28 prototype would make its maiden flight. Expectations for the Tomcat II were high and a notable PR campaign briefly overshadowed the USAF's F-22 in the public spotlight. US allies also took notice of the F-28's progress, certainly mimicking the prominence of its predecessor. Following an extensive development phase, the production spec F-28A's entered USN service in 2004 with much appraisal. Navy deployment has the F-28 replacing the aging F-14's, augmenting F/A-18's in strike ops and acting as a tanker if deemed necessary. The Tomcat II is also referred to as the “Jaguar” to differentiate it from “Legacy Tomcats”. The inherent versatility of the new airframe also spawned the creation of the EF-28B Stalker electronic warfare variant.

US allies and potential buyers have also shown great interest in the Tomcat II's capabilities. With superb adaptability and performance, the F-28 is a high point in naval fighter development, unrivaled in its performance class.

Featuring major variants of the AU take on the NATF. Base model F-28A, electronic warfare EF-28B, Modernized F-28C and the F-28E advanced variant.

-YF-28 Prototype = NATF demonstrator (1996 - 1999)

China, Renhai-Class (Type-055)

CN Nanchang (DDG-101)



CN Dalian (DDG-105)


The Type 055 destroyer (NATO / OSD Renhai-class cruiser) is a class of stealth guided missile destroyers (guided missile cruisers according to the (NATO / OSD) standard that is being built for the Surface Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy: It is a multi-mission design, the combination of sensors and weapons suggesting a leading role for the area's air defense, with anti-submarine warfare capabilities that surpass previous Chinese surface combatants.

The Type 055 is expected to carry out expeditionary missions and form the main escort for Chinese aircraft carriers, Nanchang (DDG-101) is a Type 055 destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy. She was commissioned on January 12, 2020.

The United States classifies these ships as cruise ships. The United States Navy defines a cruiser as a large multi-mission surface combatant with flag installations; this suggests that the United States expects the Type 055 to fill a similar role to the Ticonderoga-class cruiser.
