The Chinese defense ministry says the Chinese Armed Fores dependence on foreign arms technology is overstated. According to international practice, China is also engaged in communication and cooperation with some countries in the area of weaponry development.
Transfers of European technology to the Chinese military are documented in SIPRI data, official EU arms trade figures and technical specifications reported in Chinese military publications. China now has the world's second-largest defense budget after the United States and the fastest growing military market. At IDET 2015, China presents a scale model of its surface-to-surface ballistic missiles (SSMs) for export, the B611M. The B611M has a range between 80 and 260 km, and a launch weight of 2,183 kg, including a 480 kg warhead. Another Chinese-made air defense system showed at IDET 2015 is the FK-1000 a surface-to-air missile weapon system with high operational performance all-weather mid-to-low-altitude and mid-to-short-range air defense weapon system, characterized by missile-gun integration and multiple functions integrated into a combat vehicle. It is mainly designed for protecting the battlefields and the important places against various offensive air weapons such as cruise missiles, armed helicopters, air-to-surface missiles and fixed-wing aircraft. |
