Philippine hostage release operation tragedy

Hostage release operation is not an easy operation. Especially if perpetrator is numerous, armed and trained enough. Conditions will deteriorate if the hostage-taking occurred in the aircraft or other transportation such as buses that occurred in Manila, Philippines in August 2010. In this case the perpetrator, a former police armed with M 16 hostages tourist bus with 20 passengers inside. In this case the perpetrator only one with an assault rifle weapons Unfortunately the process of freeing the hostages taken by bus into the raid resulted in tragedy. Eight hostages were killed. Last investigation the cause of death of the hostage not only by the perpetrator but also by the invading army rifle. This proves that the attack carried out by teams who do not have qualified for the task of liberation of hostages. This also proves the Philippines does not have teams or troops who have that quality. It was only a few countries which has a reputation glorious liberation of hostages in the operation. Several countries including Israel, Germany and Indonesia.

In the case of Indonesia, a team was formed for the liberation of hostages troops at the airport dong Muang, Thailand.Perpetrators of 5 armed assault rifles and grenades. In this operation team successfully freed all hostages safely although one team member shot and killed.

Before the liberation operations, the liberator of the team was doing a brief training by wearing the same plane was hijacked, DC 9. This is to improve the team's ability to master the field.

It seemed to not run properly by the Philippines, as evidenced when they broke the window and meleparkan smoke grenades, they were puzzled to get into the bus. This causes the perpetrator immediately opened fire on hostages.

J10, IDF Cing KUO, F 16 A/B, SU 30 and Mirage 2000 Comparation according Taiwan Military Dept

Now day, China has better fighter than Taiwan, this statement come from simulation performed by Taiwan Military Department.The source told the Chinese-language Liberty Times’ (the Taipei Times’ sister newspaper) that when facing China’s Su-27s, Su-30s and J-10 fighters, Taiwan’s F-16A/Bs had a slight advantage, while the IDFs and Mirage were inferior. The computer evaluation showed that Su-30s are the best jets in China’s air force. While an F16A/B can match an Su-30, an Su-30 has 1.7 times the capability of the IDF and 2.8 times that of the Mirage 2000.
A J-10, meanwhile, has 0.88 times the capability of an F-16A/B, but 1.36 times that of a Mirage and 1.52 times that of the IDF.

Or if we make shortlisted of that figure :

1 F16 = 1 Su 30

1.7 IDF = 1 SU 30

2.8 Mirage 200 = 1 Su 30

0.88 F 16= 1 SU 30

1.36 Mirage 2000 = 1 J-10

1.52 IDF = 1 J 10

The military source said the main factor behind the results of the evaluation was the projected range of the air-to-air missiles the jets possess.

F-16A/Bs carry US-made AIM-20 missiles, IDFs carry domestic TK-2 missiles and Mirage 2000s carry French-made MICA missiles.

The Su-30s and Su-27s carry the Russian-made R-77 missiles while the J-10 carries Chinese-made PL-12s.

The source said that since the MICA only has a projected range of 60km — while the other four missiles have projected ranges of more than 100km — the Mirage 2000 did badly in the evaluation.

A senior fighter pilot told the Liberty Times the computer simulation was questionable because it failed to consider an aircrafts’ combat capabilities.

Taiwan Missile shiled will ready in next year

Taiwan missile defence shield ready next year: report


by Staff Writers
Taipei (AFP) Sept 6, 2010
Taiwan expects a much-anticipated missile defence shield to be ready next year after buying advanced weapons at a cost of about 300 billion Taiwan dollars (9.4 billion US), local media reported Monday.
Six batteries of Patriot III missiles forming the backbone of the system will account for roughly half the costs associated with the project, the China Times newspaper said.

A long-range early warning radar system, priced at about 40 billion Taiwan dollars, will allow the military to detect and track incoming ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, it said.

While the Patriot III and radars are US-made, the system will also include locally produced tactical ballistic missiles evolved from existing missiles known as "Tienkung", or Sky Bow, the paper said.

The defence ministry declined to comment on the report.

Military experts estimate the People's Liberation Army currently has more than 1,600 missiles aimed at the island.

Ties between Taiwan and its giant neighbour have improved markedly since President Ma Ying-jeou of the Beijing-friendly Kuomintang took office in Taipei in 2008.

But China still considers Taiwan to be territory awaiting reunification, by force if necessary, prompting Taipei to seek more advanced defence weaponry, largely from the United States.

Washington announced in January a weapons package for Taiwan that includes Patriot missiles, Black Hawk helicopters, and equipment for Taiwan's F-16 fighter jets, but no submarines or new fighter aircraft.

Beijing reacted angrily to the arms deal, valued at 6.4 billion US dollars, halting military and security contacts with the United States.
