The Korean People’s Army has fired several precision guided rockets from its eastern coast on September 12, with South Korean assessments indicating that the salvo included 600mm guided rockets from the KN-25 system. The rockets reportedly flew approximately 250 kilometres toward the waters east of the Korean Peninsula, demonstrating the Army’s ability to strike military bases, airfields, command centres and logistics infrastructure across much of South Korea.

The Russian Army has received a new batch of T-90M and T-72B3M main battle tanks, with the delivery announced by Uralvagonzavod on September 12.

A Pakistan Air Force pilot has commented on the current standing of the Chinese J-10C ‘4+ generation’ fighter in the country’s combat fleet, and how the position of the U.S.-supplied F-16, which at the beginning of the decade was the country’s most pale fighter type, has diminished considerably. “The J-10C leads the F-16 by a generation. In terms of radar, avionics, electronic warfare systems, and especially the weapon systems using PL-15 missiles, the F-16 is completely incomparable to it,” the pilot observed in a recent interview.

Russian state run United Aircraft Corporation CEO Vadim Badekha has claimed that the SU-57 fifth generation fighter its superiority over Western weapons systems every day, at a time when the aircraft’s performance on export markets has steadily improved. “The Su-57 is the only fifth-generation aircraft in the world that is actually seeing combat and demonstrating its superiority over the best foreign weapons systems every single day. Our friends are well aware of this. We can say with confidence that the F-35 is not being considered on the Indian market today,” he observed.
