Pyongyang, September 20th conducted tests on a new hypersonic missile under the personal supervision of Kim Jong-un. The published footage showed, for the first time, flight data for the missile, identified as "Hwaseong-11B-1". According to North Korean data, the missile was in the air for 446.1 seconds, reached a speed of 2146 m/s (approximately 6.3 Mach), reached a peak altitude of 35.8 km, and traveled 908.2 km. However, these figures differ significantly from information provided by South Korea. According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on that day, North Korea launched two missiles from the Wonsan area, with a time interval of approximately three hours. The first missile traveled about 450 km, and the second traveled over 600 km. South Korean experts believe that these are new versions of the KN-23 ("Hwaseong-11") series, featuring a hypersonic gliding warhead. They estimate that the missile has improved aerodynamic surfaces and capabilities for low-altitude gliding and maneuvering. If these characteristics are confirmed, the system will become a significantly more challenging target for South Korea's, Japan's, and the United States' missile defense systems in the region. The main threat posed by such missiles to enemies in the region is not only their high speed. They are capable of flying along unpredictable trajectories, performing maneuvers during the cruise phase, and changing their flight profile in the final stage, which significantly complicates their detection, tracking, and interception.

China is likely building the first submarine drone carrier. 🔻 Satellite images show that an unusual vessel is being constructed at the Shanghai shipyard "Hudong-Zhonghua", which could become the world's first specialized floating base for large unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). According to Naval News, the ship has a design that is not typical for conventional landing platforms. In the stern, there is a submersible platform with a lifting and launching mechanism, allowing UUVs to be deployed and recovered directly from the sea. Inside the hull, there is reportedly a hangar that can accommodate approximately four full-size vehicles or more of a smaller class. To date, China is already testing at least two types of large UUVs</a> that are up to 40 meters long. In size, they are 6-8 times larger than the American Orca UUV. @RedDefenceWing @RedDefenceWing @RedDefenceWing

China launches the 26th group of "Qianfan" satellites The Taiyuan center successfully launched another group of satellites on September 16 from a launch platform in the East China Sea. The heavy-lift "Gravity-1" rocket placed nine satellites from the "Qianfan" constellation and an experimental satellite for testing the EUHT technology into orbit @RedDefenceWing

New BlackSky Satellite Captures Images of Chinese Bombers The American company BlackSky has demonstrated a new level of real-time space intelligence. The fifth satellite of the Gen-3 generation, after being launched into orbit, transmitted its first reconnaissance images in less than 20 hours after liftoff. The first image, taken on September 11th, shows the Guiyang airfield in China, featuring Hong-6 bombers of the People's Liberation Army Navy. The Gen-3 satellite provides a resolution of 35 cm, allowing for the detailed observation of ground objects. Built-in AI algorithms automatically detect and classify equipment, aircraft, and ships. @RedDefenceWing -----------------------------------------------------------------

China has begun building a replica of an American destroyer for testing its own weapons. New satellite images, dated September 7th, show the modernization of a Chinese target ship. A superstructure has appeared on its deck, which visually resembles an American Arleigh Burke-class destroyer or modern warships of Japan and South Korea. The ship is located at the Jiangsu Dayang Marine Equipment shipyard in the city of Taizhou, Jiangsu province. It is here that target ships and electronic simulation complexes are built, which are used by the PLA Navy to train crews and test new weapons systems. The main goal of the modernization is to bring the tests as close as possible to real combat conditions. Simulating the silhouette, size, and reflective surfaces allows researchers to test how radar stations, missile guidance systems, drones, and other reconnaissance equipment detect, track, and engage ships. @RedDefenceWing -----------------------------------------------

Debris from one of the Chinese CH-4 reconnaissance and strike drones, belonging to the Saudis. The Houthis shot down 4 of these drones yesterday. It is also reported that the Houthis are conducting a fairly successful offensive towards the strategically important port of Mocha on the Red Sea coast. Saudi mercenaries and Yemeni collaborators, with the support of Saudi aviation, are in turn attempting a counteroffensive in the Taiz area to restrain Houthi activity. Made in china @RedDefenceWing

China has intensified its intelligence gathering activities near Japan amid Tokyo's militarization: From September 3rd to 7th, the Northern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) dispatched reconnaissance aircraft, specifically Yun-9s from the 47th Regiment of the 16th Division, five times into the airspace over the East China Sea, near Nagasaki Prefecture and Okinawa. @RedDefenceWing

🇷🇺🇮🇳 Russia to hand India fifth S-400 system in November 2026 — report The last of the five air defense systems under the $5.43B contract between the two countries is to be transferred to India this Autumn, Hindustan Times reports. The contract was signed in 2018. In 2021-2023, the first three systems were deployed in India. Russia has offered India five more squadrons of S-400s, and the final decision on the matter is to be taken after finalizing the cost, the report adds. More supplies of S-400 air defense systems to India are possible, the head of the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Dmitry Shugayev said earlier. 📌Subscribe to @RedDefenceWing

Pentagon Launches "Mole Hunt" Using Lie Detectors The United States is embroiled in one of the most significant scandals in recent military leadership history. Following a leak of classified information regarding stockpiles of precision-guided weapons, the Pentagon conducted a large-scale investigation using polygraph tests. Dozens of high-ranking military officials, including representatives from the U.S. Central Command and other commands, were subjected to the tests. According to CBS News, President Donald Trump was reportedly furious after the publication of information about the actual stockpiles of American ammunition. Access to this information was extremely limited, so Washington took the possibility seriously that the source of the leak might be working for foreign intelligence. The investigation was conducted by the Pentagon itself, under the direction of Secretary of Defense James Mattis, without the involvement of the FBI. None of those tested failed the polygraph. The very fact that such an investigation is taking place speaks volumes. If the highest levels of military leadership begin to routinely subject their own generals to lie detector tests, it means the problem has gone far beyond ordinary disciplinary issues. This indicates a serious crisis of trust within the American military apparatus. It is also noteworthy that the trigger for the investigation was information about weapons stockpiles. For any army, information about the quantity of modern missiles, interceptors, and precision-guided munitions is one of the most sensitive state secrets. Its disclosure allows a potential adversary to more accurately assess the real capabilities of the armed forces and plan their actions accordingly
