China's ambitious military modernization program and growing defense spending has caused alarm around the region and in Washington.

China says it needs to upgrade its outmoded forces and that its plans are not a threat to any country, pointing out its defense budget is far lower than the United States.


Among some facts about China's defense capabilities, military modernization and some of the weapons systems that have attracted attention. One of them is Chines aircraft carrier.


China could launch its first aircraft carrier this year, according to Chinese military and political sources, a year earlier than U.S. military analysts had expected, underscoring its growing maritime power and assertiveness.

This would remind people of Indian carrier purchsed from Russia and make a comparison.  India had bought the warship in 2004 for $974 million, but Russian shipyard Sevmash hiked the price twice since 2007 and currently demands an additional $2.9 billion.


Describing refurbishing of Gorshkov as very complicated, Isaikin said his firm would deliver a totally new, sophisticated warship to India which will be renamed as INS Viraat .


As "we have taken only the body of the aircraft carrier, and its equipment will be totally new, state-of-the-art, this means that practically a new ship will be built".


Isaikin acknowledged that "there has been a delay in the talks about the cost that has grown".

Though both sides were haggling over the final price of the aircraft carrier, the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk continued to build the aircraft carrier, the report said.


Experts said earlier that the ship would be ready in 2012.


But Chinese carrier is an unprecedented new missile that is designed to be launched from land with enough accuracy to penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced moving aircraft carrier from a distance of more than 900 miles, sources say.


Initial reports on the new missile suggest it could reshape conflicts at sea, but U.S. weapons experts told FoxNews.com that it's no game-changer, nor a revolutionary threat to America's aircraft carriers -- which are the center of U.S. Pacific defense strategy.


"Some have called it a game-changer. I would dispute that claim," said Toshi Yoshihara, an associate professor at the U.S. Naval War College.


When complete, the Dong Feng 21D -- a version of which was displayed last year in a Chinese military parade -- would give China the ability to reach and hit U.S. aircraft carriers well before the U.S. can get close enough to the mainland to hit back.


A nuclear bomb could theoretically sink a carrier, too, assuming its sender was willing to raise the stakes to atomic levels. The conventionally armed DF 21D's uniqueness is its ability to hit a powerfully defended moving target with pinpoint precision.

Details of the missile are still unknown, and the county has yet to test the system. Yoshihara said China would need to rely on a range of technologies to track boats and guide the warhead to a moving target like a carrier.

But questions remain about how fast China will be able to perfect its accuracy to the level needed to threaten a moving carrier at sea.


"This is probably one of the biggest mysteries," Yoshihara said. "My quick answer is we don’t know."


"Yes it's a very large target, but it's operating in the vast expanse of the Pacific. Besides, we're talking about a warhead falling onto the earth at 10 times the speed of sound. How do you guide it in pinpoint fashion?"



This isn't the first time such a system has been attempted; the Soviet Union tried to build anti-ship ballistic missiles during the Cold War -- and abandoned the program as too challenging.


Meanwhile, weapons such as the nuclear bomb were far more important factors in changing the shape of military conflicts, Yoshihara noted. "The advent of an anti-ship ballistic missile simply increases the cost of us contemplating intervention in, say, Taiwan," he noted. Such a missile system may give military commanders second thoughts before engaging in a certain area, or reduce U.S. options in times of crisis, he added.


Still, there have been enough advancements in technology that such a missile system is far more realistic than before -- a question of when rather than whether. Ultimately, the new missiles may lead to long-term shifts in strategy more than anything.

Should the U.S. adjust its investment from air to sea, and boost research and spending in submarines? And do pinpoint accurate missiles alter the military's strategy, since formerly safe bases in the area are equal targets?


"That challenges the basic principle of American power projections in the Far East."
