The Chinese Air Force - Evolving Concepts, Roles, and Capabilities: August 2012 – hinnat ja saatavuus

An extraordinary list of contributors addresses the Chinese Air Force in a truly comprehensive manner, providing insight to a level that hasn't been seen before in any single volume on the PLA or its components. The chapters offer a complete picture of where the Chinese Air Force is today, where it has come from, and most importantly, where it is headed. Aging F-16A/B, AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo, and Mirage 2000 fighters are increasingly being outclassed and outnumbered by newer PRC aircraft such as the Su-27, J-10, J-11, and Su-30 aircraft. Where a decade ago, adversaries could operate with relative impunity facing a limited-range surface-to-air missile threat built around derivatives of the then 40-year-old Khrushchev-era SA-2, today they face far more dangerous S-300 (SA-10/20) systems and the S-400. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these large documents as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com
