China wants to smell.
China 's main fighter jet J-10C first export to Pakistan to fight India' s "gusty wind" procurement engine improved long-range missile deal key
(Ming Pao News) Pakistan's military confirmed on Wednesday (5) that it is buying multi-purpose J-10C fighters from China in response to the introduction of French Rafale fighters by the Indian Air Force. The J-10C is the main equipment of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, and once a deal is reached, it will be the most advanced fighter aircraft exported by China in history and will also be the Pakistan Air Force's strongest fighter.
It has been rumored that the number of J-10Cs exported to Pakistan is 35 to 40, and the price is about 1.5 billion US dollars (about 11.7 billion Hong Kong dollars).
Speaking at a press conference, Maj. Gen. Babar Iftikhar, a spokesman for Pakistan ’ s army, said: “This is a step to upgrade our air force and get the best possible technology because we know what the other side (India) is getting. ”
"Our opponents are using one excuse after another to keep buying the latest equipment," Iftihal warned.
Any conventional imbalance in the region is dangerous, "and" it will lead us into a race to buy more equipment. "
It is expected to purchase more than 30 aircraft, each about $390 million.
This is the first time the Pakistani military has made it clear that it is buying Chinese J-10s, but Iftihar did not say how many will be purchased.
China has not commented on this.
According to the military self-media "white wolf view of the world" on December 23 last year, since the service in 2006, the Chinese Air Force has been equipped with nearly 500 J-10C, becoming the Chinese Air Force's largest number of fighter aircraft.
Its foreign trade version of the J-10CE is also of interest to many countries, including Ukraine and "Pakistan Railway" (the nickname of the mainland people for Pakistan), Pakistan is ready to sign with China 35 to 40 aircraft, worth about 1.5 billion US dollars, each less than 50 million US dollars (about 390 million Hong Kong dollars).
"China Times" reported that this arms case is China's long-awaited defense deal, from the beginning of the J-10A until the J-10C deal, in addition to the Indian purchase of wind, J-10C successfully replaced the turbofan -10 vector thrust engine and decided to match the PL-15 long-range air-to-air missile, is Pakistan willing to finalize the deal two key factors.
Low-price export of Huamou real war inspection J-10C
Another eye-catching item is the price, which was first reported at the 2018 Zhuhai Airshow at $70 million per aircraft, and is now about $50 million.
China is willing to sell to Pakistan at such a low price, in addition to friendly relations, but also considering that the India-Pakistan border may be the only battlefield that can allow the J-10C to have a combat test.
The report also said that last year, China and Pakistan agreed to the export of the Perila-15 (PL-15) long-range air-to-air missile, in addition to the use of the Pakistan Dragon Block 3, can also be equipped with the newly purchased J-10C.
It is believed that after importing the J-10C, its active phased array radar plus the long-range air-to-air missile, as long as it grasps the opportunity and uses it properly, it has the opportunity to defeat the fighter jet.
In 2015, India announced the purchase of 36 French fighter aircraft, worth US $8 billion (about HK $62.4 billion), with a unit price of nearly US $300 million (about HK $2.3 billion).
Pakistan: March National Day parade will see J-10 formation
Pakistan ’ s interior minister, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad, also revealed plans to buy Chinese fighters at a public event last week, saying that a squadron of 25 J-10s will participate in Pakistan ’ s Independence Day parade on March 23 and that the flyby ceremony “will be conducted by the Pakistan Air Force in response to the (Indian) gusty fighters. ”
The 25 J-10Cs are believed to be the first aircraft to be delivered to Pakistan.

Which country may purchase China's J-10 Fighter as an alternative to the U.S. F-16 Fighters?

Sudan is also buying the J-10C fighter jet from China, making it the second customer of China's J-10C export after Pakistan.

Title:

Content: Russia ’ s poor performance on the Ukrainian battlefield has become a global laughingstock, and it is expected that Russia, as an arms exporter, will lose a large number of orders and turn to China.
As a matter of fact, the Russian-Ukrainian war is still at a stalemate, and the old Russian military customer, Sudan, an Islamic state in North Africa, has decided to buy the J-10C fighter that China has strongly promoted in recent years. If the two sides are determined, Sudan will be the second customer of China's J-10C export after Pakistan.
Turkish media International Defense Analysis (IDA) recently reported the news, but did not specify the amount and price of the purchase, which may be that the details of the sales contract are still under negotiation.
If the price of export to Pakistan is estimated at 40 million US dollars, the price of Sudan's purchase may be higher, because Pakistan's order is the first order of J-10C export, the price is naturally more favorable, and now Sudan's purchase to China is mainly Russia's image destruction, not the price factor; The aim is to counter India ’ s established French Tornado fighter, US-made F-16 and Indian Su-30MKI, but Sudan does not currently have this need, and may only be equipped with the shorter range PL-10, but this part may have little impact on the price.
At the beginning of this year, Pakistan officially released the news of the purchase of J-10C, there are unconfirmed rumors that J-10C may appear in Africa a second customer, which is more likely to be Sudan, and the purchase of the model will not be J-10C, the cooperation between China and Pakistan JF-17 Dragon is also one of the options, after all, JF-17 uses more customers.
With an area of nearly 2 million square kilometers, the Islamic state of Sudan in North Africa is the third largest country in Africa. Its name Sudan means "black land" in official Arabic.
Sudan, ruled by a military government, has long been plagued by the Darfur conflict and South Sudan's independence, and has been named the "most unstable country in the world".
Economically based on agricultural and animal husbandry processing products, the military has long been supported by the former Soviet Union and Russia, and the existing weapons are mostly Russian-Chinese systems, and there are a small number of US-French weapons.
The aircraft purchased from China and Russia are mostly old models, such as China's Keang-5, J-7, FTC-2000, etc. The Russian-made MiG-23, MiG-29, Su-24, Su-25, etc., a total of about 40 ~ 50 aircraft.
The FTC-2000, also known as the Jian-9, is considered to be the third generation trainer, so there has been a need to update the fighter fleet for many years.
From the perspective of the composition of the Sudanese Air Force, it is still the largest number of Russian-made fighters, so it is the most likely to buy Russian-made fighters again.
Although the French surge is also actively in contact, the price of each aircraft is as high as 100 to 200 million US dollars to deter the sultan.
Since this year, the Russian Air Force and fighter aircraft have shown everyone ’ s surprise, which has seriously hit the outside world ’ s perception of Russian-made military fire, so the J-10C seized the opportunity as early as the contact, although it has not yet achieved actual combat results, but also Pakistan began to use on the tense India-Pakistan border, there are not many buyers in the international search, in the current atmosphere, the J-10C deal is finally Get a breakthrough.
The size of Sudan's air force is small, if the first batch of J-10C is purchased, the number should only be more than 10, about enough to form a squadron.
In recent years, China has pushed J-10C internationally, and many countries have expressed interest. In addition to Thailand in Southeast Asia and Argentina in South America, some countries in the Middle East and Africa have also been considered.
Especially after Russia ’ s performance in Ukraine has become an international laughingstock, many customers who used Russian-made aircraft in the past should turn to China.
In addition to fighter aircraft, other ground weapons or various types of frigates, unmanned ships and now the most popular drones, will also be due to the performance of the Russian army and China get a large number of orders.
Since fighter trading has always been the largest trading item in the international arms market, if China ’ s J-10C can have a big win in this wave of Russian orders, it will significantly boost China ’ s ranking in the global arms market share.
According to the 2021 ranking of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the United States ranked first in arms transactions for the year with 39%, Russia ranked second with 19%, France ranked third with 11%, and China ranked fourth with 4.9%.
And France ’ s share of the increase mainly comes from India and the Middle East countries to buy surge fighters, China J-10C this year has Pakistan ’ s deal, if coupled with Sudan ’ s order, it may surpass France to become the world ’ s fourth largest arms exporter in 2022, if the J-10C can thus open the market, and even in a few years may surpass Russia, to become only the United States defense industrial power.

Content: Turkey replaces F-16 with Chinese fighter jet
Wednesday 08 March 2023 - 12: 09 GMT
Kagri Erhan, a member of the Security Council and Foreign Policy of the Turkish Presidency, announced that Ankara is expected to abandon its requests for American-made fourth-generation F-16C / D fighter jets due to the availability of a better alternative.
World - Turkey
The Turkish official noted that the “$20 billion cost package ” and the availability of more cost-effective options, notably the Chinese J-10C, could make such a rollout a reality.
"Now we have other options such as the Chinese plane that was sold to Pakistan, the Russian planes and also the Eurofighter," he said.
According to Miltary Watch, Pakistan began receiving Chinese J-10C fighters in February 2022.
The Chinese fighter is of the same weight as its American counterpart, the F-16, but it is several decades newer with multiple features and performance advantages, especially in terms of armament, flight and flight performance.
It is a lightweight single-engine fighter with low operating cost and improved fifth-generation avionics.
Chinese aircraft also have similar capabilities and in most respects are superior to their American counterparts, in addition to requiring less maintenance needs and much faster delivery time.
Although Turkey is the largest foreign operator of the US F-16, with about 250 in service, which means the new aircraft can be easily integrated with existing training and logistics systems and weapons, China has in the past modified its fighters to be able to operate US weapons at the request of foreign customers.
One of the main advantages of the Chinese fighter is its very low cost compared to its American counterpart, due to the fact that China manufactures large quantities of them, unlike the American.
Turkey ’ s preference for lightweight fighters makes the Chinese single-engine aircraft an effective and pioneering option.

Following the flypast, the Prime Minister witnessed the landing of five J-10C aircraft, which have been inducted into the 15 Squadron.

The J-10C is larger and can be outfitted with a bigger active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar than the JF-17 Block 3 uses.

The aircraft can carry fourth-generation air-to-air missiles such as the short-range PL-10 and the beyond-visual-range PL-15.

According to a foreign media report, China will deliver a total of 25 J-10C fighter jets to Pakistan, significantly increasing the country’s military capability to defend airspace.

After being tested in Chengdu, the first batch of combat aircraft arrived in Pakistan a few days ago.

Images of a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) J-10C fighter jet with the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) markings recently surfaced on social media and were widely circulated by media outlets.

Chinese analysts have praised the latest defence cooperation between China and Pakistan, saying that the move is significant for both countries because it strengthens the Pakistani military’s combat capabilities, promotes China’s aviation equipment, and serves regional security interests.

“The J-10C will significantly improve the Pakistan Air Force’s combat capabilities,” Chinese analysts predicted.

“The J-10C is a 4.5-generation medium-sized fighter jet that is more powerful than the China-Pakistan jointly developed lightweight fighter jet, the JF-17, which is currently in service with the Pakistan Air Force,” Shi Hong, Executive Chief Editor of Shipborne Weapons, told the Global Times.

Content: Weapons that Don’t Work in the Ukraine War Make Up Most of China’s Military

Chinese analysts want to understand why Russian weapons are doing so badly in the war in Ukraine. 70% of China’s modern airplanes are licensed copies, unlicensed copies or variants of the SU-27. 20% are inferior planes that are not even as good as the Russian copies.

The Ukraine War has been an actual real world test or most of the modern planes, missiles, drones that the world has. The only systems that have not been tested or used are the stealth fighters. Russia has some SU57 stealth fighters but has not used them other than a few safe uses from long-range.

The other lessons are which tactics are ineffective and which tactics are more effective. There is also the need for a lot more drones for front line troops. Drones have become an absolute necessity on the front lines. There is a need for a lot more ammunition and overall training. There will need to be a lot more training on the effective tactics.

China also wants to look at the Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile getting shot down. The Kinzhal and China’s hypersonic weapons (YJ-21 and DF-17) are similar technology. They are hypersonic warheads on a regular rocket booster. The Kinzhal had about 6 shot down in one day. The Kinzhal cost Russia about $10 million each to make. The YJ-21 is a shorter range navy variant of the DF-17. The YJ-21 costs about $8 million each. The DF-17 costs about $107 million each. Russia had about 6 Kinzhal missiles shot down in 1 day in the war. Normal supersonic missiles are about $1-2 million. The point of spending more money for a faster missile is so it can with near certainty penetrate defenses. A military could always just buy 10 or 100 cheaper missiles to overwhelm air defenses. You don’t want to go too cheap where the missiles are not reliable like a Scud missile. You want to spend enough to get good cost benefit on reliable destruction.

The Russian S-400 air defense system was supposed to be a scary system able to defend against the US air force and missiles. The S-400s have been defeated and destroyed with a few waves of cheap drones and cheap missiles. China bought a lot of expensive S-400 air defense systems.

The US and the rest of world may not have the exact same Russian equipment but all of the world’s military have to update and change procurement to reflect what is being learned in Ukraine.

Russia has lost about 20% of its Su-34 fleet, with a starting total of only 121 aircraft. Four Su-34 planes were shot down in only 2 days in December, 2023.

Chinese analysis identifies two reasons for these heavy losses.

1. The Russian Aerospace Force, which inherited the air combat theories of the Soviet Air Force, habitually allows existing combat aircraft to take on the tasks of both air defense suppression and electronic warfare.

2. Russian military’s did not buy enough precision guided stand-off munitions. They cannot keep their planes safer by being further away.

Roughly 20% of the PLAAF and PLANAF’s combat aircraft are old second-generation fighters of limited combat value against peer opponents, save perhaps in swarming attacks. Another 30% include strategic bombers and more capable but dated third-generation designs. Finally, 50% percent are fourth-generation fighters that can theoretically hold their own against peers like the F-15 and F-16.

China has about 126 actual Russian planes in the Su-27 family (SU27, SU30, SU35).

The J-11 and J-16 are copies of the SU-27 Russian planes, that are getting shotdown by ground to air missiles in Ukraine. The J-11 was a licensed copy of the SU-27.

The J-10 is a copy of the Israeli Lavi from Israeli designs. The Lavi was based on the design of the French Dassault Mirage. The J-10s haver had several deadly accidents possibly related to difficulties in the fly-by-wire system. 22% of China’s 2500 combat aircraft are J-10.

The J-7 is an older and even more outdated plane makes up 20% of the fleet of 2500.

China’s J-20 now makes up about 8% of China’s 2500 combat jets. This is stealth plane copied from stolen F-22 and F-35 information.

What problems have J-10 Fighters that China exports had?

The J-10C has been praised for its excellent maneuverability in close combat, with the ability to detect opponents through infrared means and optimized rear layout for close combat.

Special correspondent Chen Meng-meng / Comprehensive report
The PLA Air Force ’ s annual “Golden Helmet ” award competition has recently begun, and the J-10C once again pressed the J-16 to obtain the dominant position of the martial arts.
It is understood that this is the J-10C has won this highest honor for three consecutive years since 2019, especially its ability to kill in close-range combat, which has frequently made famous fighters such as the J-16 and the Su-35 suffer, and thus the aircraft has enjoyed the reputation of "air fighting king" in the Chinese Air Force.
According to the official WeChat account of the Southern Air Force, “Southern Air Force ”, the test of the“ Golden Helmet -2021 ” of the Air Force has come to an end. The team of the Southern Air Force pilots Gao Benchao and Yang Shuai won the crown and won two “Golden Helmets ”. It is clear that they are armed with J-10C fighters.
▼ Two pilots from the Southern Combat Air Force ’ s “Yunling Red Hawk ” won the highest honor of the 2021“ Golden Helmet ”.

Official reports revealed that in the final showdown, the enemy aircraft quickly rose to a high altitude, using its equipment advantages to first launch people and launch missiles, at which time Gao Benchao and Yang Shuai were in danger and successfully avoided missile attacks.
At the second entry, the two sides fought from the middle to the close, after several dogfights, the final high Ben super successfully suppressed the enemy, and then seized the favorable opportunity to attack the enemy, complete the double kill, and achieve a victory in this crucial battle.
According to public information, Gao Benchao's unit is the Yunling Red Hawk, an air force brigade in the southern combat zone, which is nicknamed the "Great Red Hawk Brigade" by mainland military fans because of the large Red Hawk mark painted on its aircraft.
This aviation brigade stationed in the southwest region, once won three gold helmets in one fell swoop and became famous in the first war of the Chinese Air Force Golden Helmets.
Interestingly, the brigade's predecessor was the first fully equipped and formed fighter J-10 regiment, and in 2016 began to load J-10C fighters in bulk.
As the latest improvement model of the J-10 series of fighters, the biggest improvement of the J-10C is to replace the active phased array radar, which greatly increases the effective detection distance to air targets, and at the same time, it is also equipped with a large number of missile warning devices to further improve survivability, and the infrared detection tracking system allows the aircraft to detect opponents through infrared means.
In terms of weapon configuration, the J-10C can carry a variety of China's latest domestic air-to-air missiles, including the Perke-15 long-range radar guided missile and the Perke-10 infrared fighting missile.
After many air battles in the past, although the J-10C aircraft radar is inferior to the J-16, this "quasi-stealth fighter" occupies an advantage in radar reflection signal characteristics, effectively reducing the distance locked by the J-16 airborne phased array radar.
The pilots successfully avoided the deadly attack of the missile, after optimizing the rear duck layout of the J-10C, pulled to the close combat against the J-16, Su-35 such a conventional layout aircraft, obviously excellent maneuverability has become the key to victory.

Pakistan Air Attacks Iran's J-10C for First Time
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has recently bombed Sunni jihadist camps in Pakistan. Pakistan counterattacked on the morning of the 18th. It launched several air raids on eastern Iran with Chinese-made J-10C "Raptors" and JF-17 "Thunder" (Thunder) jointly built by China and Pakistan, which is the so-called "Syndicate Dragon" of the Liberation Army. Confirmed into combat.
According to the "Bulgarian Military Network" (BulgarianMilitary.com) reported on the 18th, in addition to the fighter, "Pakistan Railway" (Chinese netizens friendly name for Pakistan) also sent out the Chinese-made "Wing Dragon II" drone.
India's "Eurasia Times" also detailed that the raid was carried out by a "Wing Dragon" midair long-distance drone aerial reconnaissance, followed by an air-to-ground missile launched by a "Syndicate" fighter of the Second Squadron of the Pakistan Air Force, which penetrated more than 80 kilometers inside Iran, hitting targets of the "Baluchistan Liberation Front" (BLF) terrorist organization, reportedly killing at least nine people.
The report pointed out that in the raid, Pakistan used a precision guided GIDS B-REK rocket with a range of 170 kilometers to boost the glide bomb.
As early as March 2017, Pakistan armed the JF-17 with this extended range weapon.
According to the report, Chinese military experts revealed that the second squadron of the Pakistan Air Force is no stranger to Chinese fans, after the squadron was equipped with a "Synchronous Dragon" fighter aircraft at the Zhuhai Air Show to publicly display its excellent air maneuverability.
The Wing Dragon and the J-10C are both fighter aircraft purchased from China by Pakistan. They use China ’ s battlefield data link system to share battlefield intelligence and coordinate operations. In addition, the Pakistan Air Force is likely to use the ZDK-03 early warning aircraft purchased from China to provide monitoring and command.

As a city planner in San Antonio, TX, it is essential to understand the potential impacts of the incoming Saharan dust storm on the city's air conditions, temperatures, power grid, traffic, and citizens' health.

The Saharan dust storm can bring hot and dry weather to the region, leading to lower rain chances and higher temperatures, similar to its effects in Central Florida.

The dust storm can also cause hazy sunrises and sunsets, reduce rain chances, and increase temperatures, which may impact the city's energy consumption and traffic.

Furthermore, the Saharan dust contains iron, silica, fungi, and bacteria, which can cause acute respiratory diseases and allergies, posing a significant threat to citizens' health, particularly those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.

The dust storm can also affect the city's power grid, as it can reduce solar energy production by up to 80 percent, causing "dirty" solar cells and reducing air quality.

In addition, the Saharan dust storm can impact the city's transportation systems, as it can reduce visibility and disrupt traffic, damaging residential property and solar panels.

To prepare for the dust storm, it is recommended to take measures to mitigate its negative impacts, such as wearing masks to reduce temporary health inconveniences.

The city can also benefit from the dust storm's positive effects, such as the fertilization of American ecosystems with nutrients like iron and silica, which can support plant growth and stimulate phytoplankton growth in oceans.

Overall, understanding the potential impacts of the Saharan dust storm is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate its negative effects and capitalize on its positive effects, ensuring the well-being and safety of San Antonio's citizens.

San Antonians may want to stay indoors next week. Here's why.

A noticeable change in the air will arrive to the Alamo City next week.

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio skies could look quite different next week but not in the way we're hoping for.

As San Antonians eagerly wait for rain to break our triple-digit temperatures another common occurrence will pick-up next week known as Saharan dust.

The dust is a combination of sand and dust traveling from North Africa across the Atlantic that peaking in late June through mid-August.

Light amounts of Saharan dust have arrived to the Alamo City this past week but will become more noticeable. Therefore, if you have asthma, COPD or any other type of respiratory illness you will want to stay indoors as much as possible during this time.

Timing of Saharan dust:

Monday - Little changes will be in the forecast as heavier amounts of dust remain over the gulf coast.

Tuesday - A large moderate level of Saharan dust will move into South Texas and San Antonio by late afternoon. San Antonians may notice hazy skies and trouble breathing if you're more sensitive to dusty air. But the dust doesn't stop here.

Thursday - As the week progresses dust levels continue to rise and could affect air quality levels. For those with any respiratory illnesses they should avoid outdoor activity including vigorous exercise. Also try to keep windows and doors closed. We will continue to monitor this development next week.

Saharan dust brings hot and dry weather to Central Florida on Sunday

Saharan dust brings temperatures above average and dry conditions across Central Florida on Sunday.

“So you probably heard about the Saharan dust that’s been making for those hazy sunrises and sunsets here in the past few days,” Meteorologist Chris Gilson said. “It’s also been leading to those lower rain chances allowing our temperatures to heat up into the mid nineties.”

Sunday’s high is 96 with a low of 75 and only a 10% chance of rain across Central Florida.

“A spot shower storm will be possible today but notice we’re seeing the reds and oranges, that’s all that dry air due in part to that Saharan dust that hangs around with us for today,” Gilson said.

The Saharan dust sticks around into early next week as the dry air and slim rain chances continue.

The dust is helping keep the tropics quiet for the next five to seven days, but we still have a long way to go until the peak of Hurricane season in September.

Content: Havana, Cuba.- Cubans are entering the final days of July with a forecast of high temperatures, accompanied by little rain throughout the national territory.

In recent days, the heat punished the inhabitants of the Caribbean island, where through the Institute of Meteorology it was learned that in 38 of the 68 stations subordinate to the scientific entity, temperatures above 34 Celsius degrees were reported.

Meanwhile, the nightly broadcast of the National Television Newscast specified that in the eastern territory of Granma 39°C were registered on Saturday.

Behind it, the most overwhelmed towns were Colón in the western province of Matanzas with 37.2 °C; and Bainoa, in the also western province of Mayabeque, with 36.5 °C; while in the capital the thermometers marked 36 °C.

Days prior to the establishment of these temperature records for the current month, the Institute of Meteorology warned about the arrival of a cloud of dust from the Sahara on the island.

The experts explained that this phenomenon would cause a new decrease in rainfall and would maintain the feeling of great heat.

These clouds contain iron, silica, fungi, bacteria, viruses, various pathogenic mites, among other elements. They can cause acute respiratory diseases, allergies and skin problems.

Dust from the Sahara affects coral reefs, and fruit, rice, sugar cane, bean and other crops. It is caused by storms that occurred in the Sahara desert, coming out of the African continent.

It moves over the freshest and most humid marine air, and joining the flow of the trade winds, it quickly reaches the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Research shows that dust storms coming from the Sahara Desert can severely damage solar energy production.
So, what can be done to better manage this problem?
Climate Now reports from Andalusia on efforts to beat the dust.
Announcement
On this month ’ s episode of Climate Now, we set out to southern Spain to report on the growing problem of Sahara dust, which has a significant impact on solar power generation.
Our visit to southern Spain comes as the Copernicus Climate Change Authority announced that we have seen the highest ever recorded temperature for May 2024, registering a temperature rise of 0.65 ° C above the 1991-2020 average.
This is the 12th consecutive month with the highest recorded temperature for the month in question.
In May 2024, we witnessed extreme weather conditions in many areas.
Floods in Brazil have displaced more than half a million people, temperatures in the Delhi region of India hit 49.9 degrees Celsius, its highest recorded to date, and Finland issued a heatwave warning of temperatures rising to more than 27 degrees Celsius.
In Europe, heavy rains led to flooding in southwestern Germany, Belgium, and northern Italy.
Massive losses in solar power generation due to Sahara dust
The dust of the Sahara Desert in Europe is famous for turning its skies orange, which reduces air quality and leaves a fine layer of dust on the roofs of homes and cars.
On the other hand, it causes another growing problem known as “dirty ” solar cells.
At Gianni University in Andalusia, we met with Dr. Eduardo Fernández and Professor Florencia Almonacid, who were among the authors of a recent paper that found that the severe dirt on the panels in March 2022 reduced solar capacity by up to 80 percent.
Dr Fernandez told Euronews: “It felt like we were on Mars where everything turned red. ”
March 2022 saw extreme weather, but even small amounts of dust could reduce the amount of sunlight reaching solar cells by 15%, and with the rapid growth of solar energy in Europe, losses from dirt could account for billions of euros a year.
Therefore, the research team at Jian University is using photovoltaic laboratories to find solutions.
Some scientists focus on developing dust-resistant layers, while others look at how dust accumulates with different weather conditions, such as high and low temperatures, and low rainfall.
There are many variables that need to be taken into account.
For example, dust grains may be of different sizes or colors, and can affect how well solar panel installations perform.
Even design elements make a difference, such as whether a painting is frameless or has a solid lip around its tip.
Professor Almonacid says that Sahara dust is particularly problematic: "Sahara dust particles are very fine.
It ’ s especially hard to clean. ”
The Cost and Benefit Dilemma of Solar Panel Cleaning
Renewable energy company Sonnedix faces the grime challenge every day, monitoring production from each solar power generation site and carefully calculating when cleaning PV panels is commercially feasible.
The cost of cleaning is considerable – around €400-500 per megawatt – so there are difficult choices to make depending on how the power plant is priced.
Joanne Fernandez, chief operating officer of the company, told Euronews: “As you generate electricity, every kilowatt-hour is important for the plant ’ s revenue, so this dust weather has a big impact. ”
He is now working with meteorologists to help plan cleaning sessions according to dirt weather conditions, and the amount of rainfall, as light spray may increase the soiling of the panels, and heavy rain may wash them away for free.
“Severe dust storms coming from the Sahara desert could actually lead to a significant reduction in production within the network, and this could cause a significant problem for the network operator, ” he explains.
“So forecasting, forecasting, and the ability to proactively manage the network is the most important, ” he says.
Announcement
Have dust storms from the Sahara increased due to climate change?
The recent increase in dust storms coming from the Sahara desert could be the result of natural climate variability, or it could be caused by something else.
A spokesman for the Copernicus Meteorological Authority told Euronews: “Although the arrival of dust plumes from the Sahara to Europe is not unusual, there has been an increase in the intensity and frequency of such weather conditions in recent years, and may be attributed to changes in atmospheric circulation patterns. ”
There is some speculation that these changes in atmospheric air circulation patterns are linked to climate change.
Dust expert Dr. Eduardo Fernandez says: “Scientists are always cautious about drawing conclusions, and that should be the case, right? ”
“But what we ’ re seeing is that there ’ s been a dramatic increase in extreme weather conditions, not just in terms of slabs getting dirty, but also in terms of rainfall and wind blowing.
“We are recording more dust storms coming from the Sahara, and they are increasingly penetrating into larger areas in northern Europe, and there is, of course, suspicion that global warming is the cause, ” he concludes.

sources and danger.
|
At the beginning of this year's spring season, the incidence of dust storms increased significantly.
Their frequency varies from year to year, but generally increases in the transitional periods between seasons, especially spring and autumn, for many reasons, some natural and others of a human nature, that is, by man.
Dust storms are fast winds that transport dust and plankton, causing a lack of visibility at short distances.
Despite the great controversy over the causes of dust or dust storms and the fact that the camel bears full responsibility for their occurrence, as stated in one of the videos circulated on social media, the reasons are not limited to the poor camel alone, even if it is one of the reasons!
The causes of dust storms are many, including: (1) Desertification as a result of drought resulting from low rainfall.
(2) Desertification due to human activities associated with overgrazing as a result of increasing numbers of camels and sheep on pasture capacity.
(3) Extensive agricultural activities, especially ploughing the land and leaving it exposed for long periods.
(4) Soil movement as a result of development and military actions and absurd car tracks in deserts that led to the breaking and dismantling of the soil and the destruction of vegetation cover.
(5) The reduction of the surface groundwater table, which led to the drying of the soil and thus the impact on the vegetation cover.
Globally, sub-Saharan Africa is the main contributor to Earth ’ s dust storms, which travel to the Americas via the Atlantic Ocean via tropical east winds.
But the Fertile Crescent has also become a source of dust, due to the halving of agricultural production as a result of climate change.
Iraq is one of the sources of dust storms as a result of the decline of the level of rivers, which led to the drought of the marshes and lakes in Iraq and Iran, and add to the list of sources open deserts of the Kingdom, which suffer environmental degradation as a result of human tampering of unfair grazing and wood and the like.
Dust storms are one of the factors responsible for increased allergic reactions, asthma attacks and chronic breathing problems, as well as blood vessels and heart disease.
Dust storms are also carriers of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, germs and viruses that cause certain diseases.
Besides, dust storms have economic effects, they adversely affect agricultural production by transporting agricultural pests, reducing photosynthetic activity, destroying crops, as well as affecting infrastructure, by reducing visibility, disrupting energy and air and road transport systems, burying railways, as well as contributing to the deterioration of the performance of solar panels, as well as damaging residential property.
There is no doubt that dust storms and their increased frequency are a warning sign that requires a rapid response through a review of environmental regulations, the need to raise the environmental awareness of the population, the organization of grazing seasons based on the identification of the pastoral capacity of each region, as well as innovative solutions to mitigate desertification that benefit from tremendous technical progress.
Finally, it follows from the above that the problem is not country-specific, but a regional problem that requires concerted efforts.
The Green Middle East initiative by Prince Mohammed bin Salman is designed to design innovative solutions to address climate change and promote environmental sustainability through a number of projects, including: planting 50 billion trees across the Middle East region and reclaiming 200 million hectares of degraded land through afforestation, which contributes to a 2.5 per cent reduction in global carbon emissions.

A massive dust storm from the Sahara Desert is expected to shroud the country, with experts warning citizens, especially those with respiratory disorders, to take precautions.

Professor Dr. Doğan Yaşar, a climate scientist, cautioned that a period of intense dust transport will begin on March 25.

"Red-colored desert dust laden with iron particles will arrive in large quantities," he explained.

"While this dust fertilizes the soil and benefits agriculture, it can also trigger allergy symptoms like dry cough and sneezing, especially for people with asthma or other lung conditions,” he said.

Yaşar emphasized the importance of wearing masks during this period. "People with lung diseases should wear a particle-retaining mask for three weeks, if possible," he advised. "Regular masks can offer some protection as well."

"A single pine tree produces 12 billion pollen. Thus, during this period, pollen multiplies very intensively in the air. When we inhale this, we experience discomfort. It is especially dangerous for people with lung diseases such as asthma," he added.

The dust storm is a natural phenomenon that occurs annually, transporting around two billion tons of dust from the Sahara to various parts of the world. The professor highlighted the ecological benefits of this dust, which acts as a natural fertilizer. However, he cautions that the concentrated dust can irritate airways and exacerbate allergies.

While the dust storm may cause temporary inconveniences, Yaşar reassured citizens that there's no need for alarm.

"The dust benefits agriculture, but it's important to be aware of the potential health risks, especially for those with respiratory problems," he concluded.
