SA BIGLAANG PAKIKIPAGPULONG SA MGA MATATAAS NA U.S. DEFENSE OFFICIAL… ANO ANG PINAGHAHANDAAN?

Antipolo Magazine 2020 U.S Defense Higher Officials  Sa gitna ng tumitinding tensyon sa rehiyon, nagkaroon ng biglaang pakikipagpulong si Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. sa matataas na opisyal ng depensa ng Estados Unidos sa New York City. Dahil dito, marami ang nagtatanong kung ano ang tunay na layunin ng naturang pulong—simpleng pagpapalakas lamang ba ito ng ugnayang militar, o bahagi na ng mas malaking paghahanda sakaling lumala ang sitwasyon sa Indo-Pacific? Habang patuloy ang kooperasyon ng Armed Forces of the Philippines at ng militar ng U.S. sa mga joint exercises tulad ng Exercise Balikatan, hindi maiwasang itanong ng ilan: **handa na ba ang Pilipinas sa anumang posibleng mangyari sa rehiyon?

CHINA Most Advance WZ-8 High-Altitude Drone.

Antipolo Magazine 2020


Role:
Unmanned surveillance aircraft
National origin:
People's Republic of China
Manufacturer:
Aviation Industry Corporation of China
Introduction:
1 October 2019
Status:
In service
Primary user:
People's Liberation Army Air Force


The US Pentagon documents that were leaked on Discord say that China is getting ready to launch a cutting-edge, high-altitude espionage drone called the "WZ-8" that could move at three times the speed of sound.


According to The Washington Post, the information was obtained from a National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency confidential document and published there. The report and the document the newspaper quoted were not legitimate, according to EurAsian Times.


If accurate, the allegations would greatly improve Chinese spying capabilities. A state-of-the-art surveillance technology, the drones might let China acquire real-time mapping data to plan plans or launch missile strikes in a future confrontation.


A satellite image from August 9 is also included in the paper, showing two WZ-8 rocket-powered surveillance drones at an air base 350 miles inland from Shanghai in eastern China. The evaluation asserts that Beijing's claim of sovereignty over Taiwan had been "almost certainly" upheld by the Chinese military's Eastern Theater Command, which had "almost certainly" built its first unmanned aerial vehicle unit at the site.


According to an analysis of satellite pictures provided to The Post by Planet Labs and made public on Google Earth, the site has grown over the past few years, with at least 18 more structures planned to be constructed after August 2020. Beginning in late February 2022, new, substantially larger roads leading into the hills south of the runway were constructed.




The stolen documents indicate that the Chinese military is working on technologies that might allow it to target American warships and military stations in the area, particularly those close to Taiwan, in addition to this future drone.


Other materials, such as intelligence revealing new Chinese spy balloons, highlighted Chinese espionage activities and military development. Now that Beijing's surveillance efforts have come under scrutiny, this is even more important.


A Chinese surveillance balloon that was allegedly flying above important American military locations was shot down by the United States in February of this year. As a result of the incident, diplomatic relations between the two rivals reached an all-time high.


Media reports following the spy balloon dispute between China and the US suggested China possessed a unique and cutting-edge unit for spying using high-altitude balloons. According to some sources, Beijing was allegedly employing these balloons for snooping.

China cautions the U.S. against deploying fighter jets piloted by Artificial Intelligence.

Antipolo Magazine 2020 On January 30, 2019, Roger Tanner and Bill Gray piloted the Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft (VISTA) from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, to Edwards Air Force Base following modifications and a new paint scheme. The aircraft was redesignated from NF-16D to X-62A on June 14, 2021 (U.S. Air Force photo by Christian Turner). Recently, U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall flew aboard an experimental F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet equipped with artificial intelligence. This development has raised concerns for the People’s Republic of China, as AI-piloted combat aircraft could offer superior capabilities and faster response times compared to human-piloted planes.   Notably, this is not the first instance of testing an AI-controlled aircraft. In mid-April, the experimental X-62A VISTA, based on an F-16 fighter and used for AI testing, participated in simulated aerial combat against other F-16 fighters of the United States Air Force. These simu...
