China revealed a domestically developed airborne munitions dispenser

China has revealed a type of domestically developed airborne munitions dispenser, a hybrid weapon that lies between an air-to-ground missile and a guided bomb droppable by an aircraft from a safe distance, that can release hundreds of submunitions that cover a large area.

Formally classified as a guided glide dispenser bomb, this highly accurate, modularized weapon weighs 500 kilograms. While it looks like a missile, it has a square cross-section to hold more submunitions. This design can also reduce the weapon’s radar cross-section, enhancing the weapon’s stealth capability, making it more difficult to intercept.

When dropped, the dispenser can open its wings, which can provide extra lift force and controllability and allow it to have a range of more than 60 kilometers, this means the aircraft carrying it can safely drop the weapon without entering the enemy’s air defense zone.

Each dispenser can carry six types of 240 submunitions, which when released will cover more than 6,000 square meters.

When attacking groups of tanks and armored vehicles, the dispenser can use anti-tank submunitions that can penetrate tanks’ armor from the top, or it can equip regional lockdown submunitions when attacking large facilities like airfields.

A typical munitions dispenser like this can disable an airfield for an extended period with only one shot, because the sheer number of submunitions means the whole runway will be destroyed. It is also possible that some of the submunitions will be mines, which will make attempts to repair the runway very risky.

This will provide crucial battle opportunities, because it means the enemy would not be able to make any warplane sorties, and the user of the dispenser can seize air superiority and gain tactical and even strategic advantages.

Trudeau, Morneau clashing over green initiatives and coronavirus spending

Morneau’s resistance to expensive environmental initiatives reflects his roots in Bay Street, and a view held among right-leaning Liberals that deficits are out of control.

“The idea of greening the economy just by spending money on every project you have in front of you is not really serious,” said a source sympathetic to Morneau’s position.

Possible budget measures range from investments to help provinces reduce their carbon footprint, boosting research into clean technology and encouraging the construction of efficient buildings.

Morneau, who has been embroiled in a recent scandal over the “We” charity that paid for him and his family’s expenses during a trip abroad, paid the $41,000 fee on the same day he was questioned by the Parliamentary Finance Committee recently. Since then, he has been under pressure to resign.

Morneau is stepping down from his post as Canada’s finance minister and as Member of Parliament for Toronto Centre. Morneau made the announcement during a press conference on Parliament Hill Monday evening.

Morneau replaced by this, Canada is going downhill fast.

Heroes Welcome

During the welcoming ceremony, Qi Yu齐玉, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced on behalf of the Ministry’s Party Committee the awarding of the Collective Third Class Merit to the Consulate General in Houston.

　　It is relatively rare for diplomats to be awarded collective third-class honors.　　But this is full recognition for these diplomats. At the airport, Wang Yi王毅 had this high praise: (All the comrades of the Consulate General) under extremely difficult and even dangerous circumstances, they resolutely safeguarded the core interests of the country, the dignity of the country and the nation, and the legitimate rights and interests of China’s foreign missions….

　　Note the phrase: under extremely difficult, even dangerous circumstances! The environment may be more treacherous than many of us can imagine.

At the airport, Wang Yi made three main remarks.

　　The first paragraph was a high evaluation of the performance of the diplomats, and the second paragraph exposed the sinister intentions of the United States.

　　What exactly does the United States want?

　　Wang Yi’s answer is this: this controversy at the Consulate General in Houston shows that anti-China forces in the United States are doing everything possible to undermine China-U.S. relations and to obstruct China’s development.

　　What will happen as a result?

　　Wang Yi spoke of “three convictions”.

　　We are convinced that the predominant view in both countries remains one of dialogue, not confrontation.

　　We are convinced that Sino-American relations will be reborn after the storms.

　　We firmly believe that China’s destiny is in the hands of the Chinese people, and under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, no one and no force can stop us from marching towards national rejuvenation.

　　We will be reborn after the storms, so don’t be pessimistic, as the dark clouds will dissipate.

　　The bigger point is the third paragraph: Facing up to difficulties and expressing confidence in victory.

　　Confidence: we will be able to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and achieve victory one after another.

　　But the difficulties are also realistic.

　　Wang Yi’s exact words are: in the face of unprecedented changes in the past century and the new challenges of global epidemics, all comrades on the diplomatic front must be prepared to face greater risks and endure more tests.

　　”Two more”.

　　The need to be prepared for greater risks.

　　Prepare to be tested more than ever!

　　Some people have flipped their hand and have even gone beyond just leveling the playing field.

　　It is fair to say that this is a rather sobering realization.

　　Diplomacy is a continuation of domestic affairs. The United States is now entering the most sensitive period, and since some people are unscrupulous and preoccupied, they will not stop so easily and will not rule out the possibility of creating even worse incidents in the coming period.

　　We must be fully prepared.
