BEIJING: After
incorporating the navy's strategic nuclear submarine and the air force's
strategic bomber, the PLA Rocket Force will be the first independent service
with land, sea and air nuclear forces in the world that is much more integrated
than those of the US, Russia, Britain and France, an article in the military's
official publication 'China Military Online' quoted an expert It also formed a new Strategic Support Force
(SSF) to provide proper electronic and cyber intelligence backup for precision
missiles strikes during war. What drew special attention is that the Second
Artillery Corp which used to be an independent arm, was upgraded as the Rocket
Force, an independent service, reminiscent of the Strategic Missile Force in
the former Soviet Union and Russia that keeps the western world on edge, the
article said. With a variety of short, medium and long range nuclear and
conventional missiles, China's missile force is regarded as one of the biggest
missile forces in the world. China is always faced with the blockade and
containment of superpowers. The country on the other side of the ocean has a
powerful navy and air force and boasts the world's top air and sea supremacy
and strongest conventional long-range precision strike and delivery capability,
which China's navy and air force won't be able to comprehensively compete with
in the short term," the article said quoting Song Zhongping, ex-instructor
at PLA Second Artillery Engineering University
