🇨🇳 Rentrée militaire chinoise 2025 - le Best Of stratégique 🇨🇳 DF-26D, DF-31BJ, YJ-21, JL-1... la Chine a dévoilé ce matin de nombreux équipements stratégiques lors du défilé des 80 ans de la victoire sur le Japon Tentons de décrypter tout cela ensemble 🧵
For tests with the YAL-1 747 laser platform, this NKC-135E s/n 55-3132 acted as the target. To make sure the YAL-1’s sensors could see the “missile” clearly, a white ICBM was painted on the black forward fuselage Credit: Paul Minert via Stephen Miller
Today's successful flight of the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) by @GenAtomics_ASI for the @usairforce shows what is possible when innovative acquisition meets motivated industry! (1/2)
USAF Hopeful Second B-21 Raider Stealth Bomber Will Fly Before Year End The Air Force has also disclosed more flight tests of the AGM-181 nuclear-armed cruise missile that will arm the B-21 and the B-52. Story: twz.com/air/usaf-hopef…
PLAN RPK-6/7 analog? Looks like an airbreathing(?) lightweight torpedo carrier with planar wings(?). Suggests quite some range for ASW. I assume it is vertically launched for surface combatants. But no reason it couldn’t be submarined-launched (vertical or horizontal) I guess
Canada narrows down selection of candidates for their future submarine procurement to TKMS of Germany and Hanwha of Korea. France, Spain and Sweden are out. Not entirely unsurprising IMO. navalnews.com/naval-news/202…

Sans surprise, 1ers échos d'une campagne de promotion du système SAMP/T NG en 🇧🇪 considérée comme "difficile" face à une frange de la Défense visiblement moins encline à envisager l'achat de matériels militaires 🇫🇷 ➡️Acquisition de 3 batteries envisagée d'ici à 2030 pour ±2 Md€

Didn’t follow much of the new PLA SAMs can someone explain the difference between these as except with the HQ-29 i’m a bit lost.
I was thinking the same thing, I expected the control surfaces to evolve the most out of the original design, strange that they kept the inline X X layout more often found in anti-ship missiles as John points out. Maybe simply enlarging them gave them the desired performances ?

I love this dialogue, the way deterrence is funnily summed up and the dilemma of long term defense acquisition versus political time. youtu.be/qVO85anasrA?si…
Told you the Rafale bros would be insufferable with this.
Turkish 100+ km range SiPER Surface to Air Missile (SAN) System is now in service with the Turkish Armed Forces. With this, Turkiye has joined the select group of countries producing Air to Air, Surface to Air, Air to Ground, Cruise and Ballistic Missiles indigenously.
Mais pas de soucis on a des maquettes et une munition anti-air de 40mn pas prête avant 2028.
The diameter of the fuselage has been increased to accommodate a greater fuel load. The mid-body fins and aft control surfaces have also been enlarged substantially.

First picture of the "Long Neptune", a range-enhanced variant of the Neptune anti-ship cruise missile. Note the increased diameter in the midsection, likely for additional fuel, and the enlarged wings, while the propulsion and warhead sections appear to remain unchanged compared…
On August 24, 1968, France tests its first hydrogen bomb at the Fangataufa Atoll. The device was suspended from a balloon. It was detonated with a 2.6 Megaton yield at an altitude of 540 m.
