As part of the annual "Red Sword - 2026" exercises, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has deployed a large force to airfields within the Western Theater Command. During the period of October 17-18 of this year, satellite reconnaissance from the West detected the massive deployment of aircraft at 11 airfields, totaling approximately 300 units, including: ✈️ 43 J-10 fighter jets ✈️ 93 J-11/-16 fighter jets ✈️ 43 J-20 fighter jets ✈️ 12 JH-7 strike fighters ✈️ 20 H-6 bombers ✈️ 16 KJ-500 AWACS aircraft ✈️ 25 special-purpose aircraft based on the Y-8/-9 ✈️ 27 Y-20 transport and tanker aircraft. Normally, around 80-100 aircraft are openly stationed at these airfields. In October, the number of aircraft parked increased to approximately 300, which is three times the normal level. Taking into account the aircraft sheltered in hardened aircraft shelters and hangars, the total number of participating aircraft exceeded three hundred. @RedDefenceWing © C3A

during a broadcast, the covers were removed from a batch of strike drones, the "Gongji-11". Today, Chinese television channel CCTV showed four of these drones inside a hangar. The serial numbers 0003, 0011, and 0012 are clearly visible. This indicates that the production run has already reached at least the twelfth unit. Based on the remaining air pressure receiver, serial number 0003 belongs to the early prototypes. The others are already production models. In the second photo, two internal compartments for weapons are visible, including small bombs, guided munitions, and PL-15 air-to-air missiles. Estimated characteristics of the drone: length - 12 meters, wingspan - 14 meters, combat payload - 2000 kg, maximum take-off weight - 14 tons, and combat radius - 1500 km.

Third Consecutive Commander of China's People's Armed Police Stripped of All Posts 🔻 General Wang Ning (71 years old, in the photo) has been officially removed from his positions as a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and as Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. The decision was made on November 4th at a meeting chaired by Wang Huning. The reasons have not been officially stated. Biography of Wang Ning Wang Ning was born in 1955 in Nanjing, a "second-generation red." His father was the deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region (NMR). His father-in-law was Lieutenant General Du Pin, former political commissar of the NMR. His maternal uncle was General Gu Hui, former commander of the Nanjing Military Region. His career has been entirely linked to the Nanjing area and the 31st Army. He rose through the ranks from division commander to commander of the 31st Army. Later, he held positions as Chief of Staff of the Beijing Military Region and Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). In December 2014, he was appointed commander of the People's Armed Police (PAP). In 2015, he was awarded the rank of general and became a member of the Central Commission for Political and Legal Affairs. In this role, he oversaw the 2018 reform, when the PAP was brought under the direct control of the Central Military Commission. In December 2020, he retired due to age. In 2021, he became Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Constitution and Legislation of the National People's Congress. In March 2023, he was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Since March 2026, he has ceased to appear at public events, including the "Two Sessions." He is the third consecutive commander of the PAP to lose high-ranking positions in 15 years. His predecessor, Wang Jianping, came under investigation in 2016, and his successor, Wang Chunxin, was expelled from the party and the military in 2025. At the same meeting of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC, the following individuals were also subjected to sanctions: • Shen Changyu (63 years old) — former head of the State Intellectual Property Office, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is officially "no longer a member of the Standing Committee," and his resignation has been accepted. In the announcement, he is still referred to as "comrade." Apparently, he took the fall for someone. • Zhang Jianmin — Chairman of the Sichuan Mingyu Group. His membership in the CPPCC has been revoked. • Yue Yanhong — former member of the Party Committee of the State Health Commission and former head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His membership has been revoked. • Wang Tongzhou — former chairman and secretary of the Party Committee of China Communications Construction Company. His membership has been revoked. According to Chinese media reports, he was "taken away for investigation" as early as June 2025. © c3A @RedDefenceWing

🚚 CCTV: During exercises, the Shenwei air defense unit of the Air Force under the Central Theater Command of the PLA successfully intercepted two missile targets simultaneously for the first time using the Hongqi-9B surface-to-air missile system. One of the targets abruptly changed its trajectory and began descending, giving the operators only a few seconds to react. Chinese military expert Song Zhongping noted that successfully intercepting a maneuvering ballistic target requires the Hongqi-9B to maintain stable radar tracking and possess high maneuverability. He added that this achievement also increases the likelihood of the system being capable of engaging hypersonic targets. The exercise demonstrated the effectiveness of the integrated early warning and targeting network, with the entire process—from receiving the alert to missile launch—taking roughly two minutes. 🕔 November 2, 2026 @RedDefenceWing

✈️ China has started mass-producing heavy-duty drones 🔼 On October 29, in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, the first serially produced fixed-wing cargo drone, the HE-1A, manufactured by Shaanxi Huaying Zhongxing Aviation Technology, rolled off the final assembly line. The HE-1A is designed for inter-regional cargo transportation. Its maximum takeoff weight is 4 tons, with a payload capacity of 2 tons. More than half of the aircraft’s weight consists of cargo—a very high figure for a drone of this class. The HE-1 conducted its maiden flight in September 2024, and now its design has been fully refined. It is scheduled to be showcased at the Zhuhai Airshow in December; the first flight in its serial configuration is planned for the end of this year, with certification expected by late 2027. The Weinan facility covers 50,000 square meters and already has three assembly lines. At full capacity, it will be able to produce over 100 drones annually. Contracts have already been signed for 110 units. The company has secured 5.3 billion yuan in investments. Its team includes experts who contributed to the development of the heavy military transport aircraft Yun-20 and the passenger jet C919. Design work is carried out in Xi’an, while assembly takes place in Weinan, with collaboration spanning the entire country. Meanwhile, the company is also developing other models. The HE-2 is a cargo drone with a takeoff weight of 5 tons and a payload capacity of 2–2.5 tons; it can also drop cargo from its tail. The HE550 is a large hybrid-powered tiltrotor aircraft, boasting a takeoff weight of around 2 tons and a payload capacity of at least 500 kg. China has successfully brought heavy-duty commercial drones into mass production. This fills a significant gap in the medium-sized cargo aviation sector, provides Shaanxi Province with a complete production cycle, and positions China favorably in the global race for the low-altitude economy market. @RedDefenceWing

Pakistan is deploying a radar for the Chinese anti-missile system "Hongqi-19" A satellite image shows a radar station deployed in Pakistan, which appears to be identical to the Chinese SLC-14. This is an X-band long-range radar for detecting and tracking ballistic targets, and it is one of the components of the "Hongqi-19" anti-missile defense system. In the summer, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif announced an agreement with China to purchase the "Hongqi-19", Jian-35 fighter jets, and Kunpeng-500 early warning aircraft. At the time, the announcement was met with skepticism. There was no official confirmation from Beijing. Now, more indirect evidence is emerging, suggesting that the project is indeed being implemented. --------------------------------------------------- ©C3A @RedDefenceWing
