Yesterday, the United States' Department of Defense announced Pakistan as one of several international allies to receive new AIM-120 AMRAAM C8/D3 air-to-air missiles in a $2.5 Billion contract. The upgraded missiles feature a 50% greater range (up to ~100+ miles), improved guidance, upgraded electronics, and better performance against modern threats compared to Pakistan's existing AIM-120C-5 missiles, which were acquired in 2006 under the Peace Drive II F-16 deal. Pakistan earlier acquired 500 AIM-120C5 AMRAAMs from the U.S. in 2006 in a $650 million deal, with which a Pakistan Air Force F-16A shot down an Indian Air Force MiG-21 Bison in February 2019.

🔥🇨🇳 HQ-16: China’s defense against Western airborne threats US sales of ATACMS missiles to Taiwan have prompted speculation that China is going to counter this potential threat by deploying its advanced HQ-16 air defense missile systems, including the HQ-16F model Publicly available information suggests that the HQ-16: 🔸 Was first unveiled in 2022 🔸 Has a range of up to 160 km, which makes it a long-range air defense system, whereas its predecessors are medium-range 🔸 Can engage targets at altitudes of up to 27 kilometers 🔸 Is designed to engage aircraft, drones, cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles Ground-based HQ-16 variants are moved via 6x6 mobile launchers and are deployed from vertical canister launch systems. A typical HQ-16 battery usually consists of several transport erector launchers, dedicated fire control radar modules and command vehicles

As part of "upgrading readiness for future threats," the Defense Ministry says it successfully completed a series of "complex" tests with the David's Sling medium-range air defense system. David's Sling, produced by defense firm Rafael, is designed to intercept rockets, missiles, cruise missiles, aircraft, and UAVs. The ministry says the series of tests was based on "operational lessons" learned from the war, and included a "range of challenging scenarios in line with existing and evolving threats." "The success of the tests constitutes an additional technological and operational breakthrough in upgrading the system, which demonstrated high performance capabilities during the war with successful interceptions that saved lives and prevented significant damage," it says. David’s Sling, operational since 2017, forms the middle tier of Israel’s multi-layer air defense capabilities, which also include the short-range Iron Beam and Iron Dome, and a top-tier of Arrow systems, the latter of which are intended to engage long-range ballistic missiles.

India has successfully tested the indigenous RudraM-II anti-radiation missile from a Su-30MKI fighter aircraft. Designed to detect and destroy enemy radars, air-defense systems, and electronic warfare assets, the missile is expected to play a key role in future air operations. With a reported range of around 300 km and speeds exceeding Mach 5, RudraM-II strengthens India's ability to suppress enemy air defenses while advancing the country's push toward self-reliance in advanced military technology. #drdo #missiles #su30mki #MissileStrike #indianairforce

🚨 MASSIVE BREAKING: 🇮🇷 Iranian media reports claim the country’s air defense systems have successfully intercepted and destroyed a U.S. AGM-158 JASSM stealth cruise missile — one of Washington’s most advanced long-range precision weapons. Iranian military sources say the interception proves that the era of “untouchable stealth missiles” is over, highlighting the growing capabilities of Iran’s integrated air defense network. The AGM-158 JASSM has long been presented by the U.S. as a highly survivable strike weapon designed to evade radar and penetrate advanced defenses. Tehran says the missile was detected, tracked, and neutralized before reaching its target.

I managed to find rare footage of Omsk’s air defense in action during the recent Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s largest and most valuable oil refinery. The density of the air defense fire is striking. Nevertheless, a Ukrainian FP-1 long-range kamikaze drone somehow managed to break through the heavy Russian air defense response and reached the refinery grounds.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Warriors from the Alpha special operations unit of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) have destroyed more than 500 Russian air defense systems. Among the targets hit were key elements of what Russia claims to be its "most advanced air defense": ▪️ S-400 and S-300 long- and medium-range surface-to-air missile systems ; ▪️ Pantsir-S1 missile systems; ▪️ Buk-M2 / Buk-M3, Tor-M2, Osa, and Strela-10 systems; ▪️ as well as radar stations, command posts, and detection assets, without which air defense becomes a blind and poorly coordinated system. According to the SSU, this work has made it possible to punch corridors through Russia’s layered air defense system and enable long-range drones to get deep into enemy rear areas, targeting bases, depots, airfields, and other military facilities. Glory! 📹: SSU
