西方对华武器禁运面临失败

February 12, 2010: Despite a Western arms embargo, China is increasingly installing dual-use Western equipment in weapons systems. The latest example is the use of French Arriel 2C engines (built under license in China), for the Z-9WE combat helicopter. This engine is only supposed to be used for Chinese civilian helicopters. Earlier models of the Z-9 use Chinese designed and built WZ8A engines. This use of Western engines in military helicopters is not new. Three years ago China installed Canadian PT6C-67C engines in its Z-10 helicopter gunship. China shrugs off foreign protests at this, and, partly because of this, European military equipment manufacturers are pushing for a lifting of the embargo.

2010年2月12日:尽管西方长期对中国实施武器禁运,中国正在逐渐在武器系统中双重-使用西方装备。最近的例子是法国Arriel 2C型发动机(中国在许可下制造)的使用,用于Z-9WE型武装直升飞机。这一种发动机仅仅要求用于中国民用直升飞机。Z-9的早期型号使用中国设计和制造的WZ8A型发动机。军用直升机使用西方发动机并不是新闻。在三年以前中国为它的Z-10武装直升飞机安装加拿大PT6C-67C型发动机。中国不回应外国的质疑,并且,在一定程度上因为这些,欧洲军事设备制造者正在急切要求解除对华武器禁运。

The Z-9 is a license built version of the French AS 365N Dauphin. It's a four ton chopper with a two ton payload. China has built over 200 of the Z-9s and many have been armed (with twin 23mm cannon, torpedoes, anti-tank missiles and air-to-air missiles.)

Z-9是法国AS 365N型“海豚”直升飞机的许可仿造型。它重量四吨和负载量二吨。中国已经制造超过200架Z-9,而且多数已经被武装化(采用双23毫米机炮、鱼雷、反坦克导弹和空对空导弹)。
