("陈炳德今年5月访美时强调，中国在军事方面远远落后于美国，中国的军事增长主要是用于防御目的。但马伦星期五说，他对这种说法并未表示信服。马伦说，
中方称其纯粹是防御性的。那我们走着瞧吧。'”)

Note: Tokyo Press Conference: Transcript of Remarks by Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , U.S. Embassy, Tokyo, Japan Friday, July 15, 2011
http://www.jcs.mil/speech.aspx?ID=1631
(a) Quotation from Admiral Mullen's talk and answers:

"Quite frankly, and I made this clear in Beijing, there’s just too much at stake for us not to have an understanding of one another, or some way of explaining ourselves. And so, we’ve started to have that conversation. We’ve started to build a level of trust. There is a long way to go, I clearly understand that. And I am under no illusion that we have cemented anything like a partnership with the PLA. Maybe we never will. Differences between us are still stark. But the work of establishing a relationship has to start somewhere.

"They [Chinese] do have some high-end capabilities – the anti-satellite shot was a very sophisticated shot, the long-range anti-carrier missile that they’re developing, they’re very capable in the cyber world and I worry a great deal about that.

"we don’t have a very deep – you know we have a very shallow understanding of each other right now.

"I indicated General Chen Bingde talked about them being defensive capabilities. He also speaks to being many years behind the United States. I don’t share that view in every capability, but as I said earlier, I think it’s important to understand what’s the actual capability as they field these. Now they’ve got several of them in research and development, and so we’ll see when they field them, but they’ve also done some highly-skilled, highly-technical kinds of things that concern all of us, and I mentioned two or three of them. So I think having a relationship where we can have these discussions, be able to discuss the areas that we agree on as well as the areas that we disagree on, is really vital.  From a long-term strategy, I think it’s probably still – from my perspective it’s too early to understand where China is really going with this.  They say it’s defensive; we’ll see.
(b) But Admioral Mullen skirted around teh question: "Concerning the U.S. Air Force’s station in Okinawa, you [US]might be a target, isn’t there a risk of becoming a target of Chinese preemptive attack? If there is such a risk, U.S. forces may be withdrawn to Guam? Is there such an option? And when you are trying to deploy U.S. forces from Guam to an event around Japan, how many hours would that take or how long would that take?"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/zhongwen/simp/world/2011/07/110715_uk_tornado.shtml

Note: Wired reports identifies them 旋风战机 as Tornado GR4. Tornado is not made in UK (British BAE Systems is a partner).
(a) Panavia Tornado
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panavia_Tornado
(Manufacturer Panavia Aircraft GmbH; Introduced 1979; Status Operational; Produced 1979–1998; section 4.1.3 Tornado GR4)

(i) That is why some wired reports describes Tornado GR4 as "aging."
(ii) The BBC report says, "这些从苏格兰和诺福克的军事基地调遣来的旋风战斗机的机身下，装有复杂的探测吊舱."

Section 4.1.3 points to RAPTOR
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAPTOR
(acronym of Reconnaissance Airborne Pod TORnado; a reconnaissance pod used by the Royal Air Force on its fleet of Tornado GR.4A and GR.4 aircraft; RAPTOR is manufactured by the Goodrich Corporation; The RAPTOR contains a DB-110 reconnaissance sensor)
* Goodrich Corporation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodrich_Corporation
(based in Charlotte, North Carolina; founded in Akron, Ohio in 1870 by Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich; exited the tire business in 1988, sold to Michelin)
* RAPTO. Royal Air Force (RAF), undated.

(outer appearnance of RAPTOR)
* DB110 Aerial Reconnaissance Pod. Goodrich Corporation (News)

I choose this web page(which is apparently copied from Goodrich), because Goodrich Corp no longer has an image of the RAPTOR pod (outer appearance or cutoff view as shown here).
