"Fire report" according to Canada of kanwa defense review, June 25, yongxing island after 2013, China, continued expansion of new Terminal came into use, the airport runway was being renovated. These signs of China's Navy and air force are likely to build more integrated yongxing Island military base.
Article said that satellite view of the new port is already open in 2013, the new port built starting from 2011, yongxing island has 2 ports, new port built a long breakwater. Port three 364-meter, 270 meter length, 250 meters, breakwater imported width is 107 metres, enough to stop any large surface ships of the Chinese Navy, image display that harbor different types of military vessels had docked.
Two other ports of the Bank approximately 400 meters in length, breakwater import 189 meters wide, 92 meters, currently appear to be dual. Construct more dock can be seen that the Chinese Navy needs a dedicated Terminal, new terminal facilities still under construction on the coast, it can be seen from the appearance of the buildings, the standard, is the Navy's facilities.
Airport is also in the midst of repairs, paving the runway again, likely struck a much more solid concrete material seems to be more yellow concrete was stamped with Chinese air force bomber runway thickness higher than airports, for large military aircraft taking off and landing. For example, h-6 bomber runway requirements differently from fighter jets. Does not change the length of the runway, is 2500 metres, enough to any active duty military aircraft taking off and landing in the Chinese air force, including h-6.
There are 4 and 2 depots near the runway of large radar antenna, two sets of radar antenna fairing is 23 meters in diameter and 16 meters, are military, civilian air traffic control radar in a 23-meter fairing, quite large.
Reference this time Malaysian Airlines passenger plane lost radar, jets lost for the first time at a distance the sea 90 km of Gong Kedak airbase, also found a large radar Dome, 19 meters in diameter, Malaysia air force the most advanced ATC radar RAT-31DL 3D radar, Italy Finmeccanica SELEX group production, detection range of 500 km. Therefore install radar in the yongxing island is quite large. Even with conventional detection distance of 500 km, it covers Hainan, Viet Nam in the South, South China Sea, about 500 kilometers south of the air.
Imposed on airport renovation trend worthy of great attention, such as dual-use airport in xigaze, Tibet, regularly stationed in a small number of fighters in the future? Form a rotation system? Especially in MAS events, judging from signs training, coming most likely entered the combat units, including air force or air force. (Know how far)
