Editor’s Note: This article contains frank descriptions of battlefield conditions, including accounts of soldiers dying by suicide following injury.

Footage taken in Russia has confirmed the expansion of the fleet of enhanced Tu-160M strategic bombers to ten aircraft, as work continues both to complete a post-Soviet production run of 50 aircraft, and to upgrade the much smaller fleet of 17 Soviet-built aircraft to the new standard.Tu-160 serial number 8-04, named Deynekin, was previously seen undergoing modernisation at the Kazan Aircraft Production Association in 2020, and has belatedly been brought up to the much improved new standard, with the same avionics as new production variants.
Images released on Chinese social media on May 11 have confirmed that the J-10C ‘4+ generation’ fighter has integrated the new DF-4/3 external weapons pylons, which are used to integrate the world’s longest ranged air-to-air missile type, the PL-17, onto J-16 fighters.
