Chinese Military Reconnaissance and Strike Capabilities Improving

February 20, 2014


The Project 2049 Institute has published an interesting short study on the recent evolution of Chinese military reconnaissance strike capabilities and the challenges these improving capabilities pose for Japan.

The report covers the gamut of long-range intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) assets now available to the Chinese military, including satellites, drones and long-range radar systems. The report them covers what sort of ballistic missile and long-range strike aircraft the Chinese military now possess which are capable of hitting targets in Japan or elsewhere in East Asia.

This report is particularly useful since it is derived to a large degree from the exploitation of Chinese-language primary source materials.
