Australian and Regional Maps

The
now certain deployment of strategic bombers by the PLA-AF will
fundamentally alter the strategic balance in the near region. This map
illustrates the coverage footprint of the Tu-95MS Bear H and Tu-22M-3
Backfire C flown from southern China and Myanmar basing. The footprint
of Indian deployments of like types is included for comparison (C. Kopp).

The
acquisition of long range Su-27SK/30MKK fighters and supporting
Il-78MKK aerial refuelling tankers provides the PLA-AF with
unprecedented reach across the near region (C. Kopp).

The
arrival of the Su-27/30 series fighters in this region changes
Australia's strategic context significantly. The superb combat radius of
these large aircraft provides a significant capability to cover
the sea-air gap (Author C. Kopp).
