How did Chinese weapons perform in Iran? We break down what the war revealed about Chinese and Chinese-linked air defenses, missiles, and drones, why U.S. and Israeli strikes still hit targets across Iran, and why the Strait of Hormuz remains a serious problem. We also look at what this does and does not say about Chinese weapons, Taiwan, and modern air defense in real combat.
