China’s Navy has reportedly grown to more than 400 warships and submarines, making its fleet around 35% larger than the US Navy by vessel count, according to The Wall Street Journal. Backed by the world’s largest shipbuilding industry, China is rapidly producing destroyers, frigates and amphibious ships while expanding its presence across the Indo-Pacific and beyond. China is also strengthening its ability to sustain long deployments. Its 48th escort taskforce reportedly returned after spending 378 days at sea, while several Chinese naval taskforces can now remain deployed for more than 300 days. With growing activity around Taiwan, in the South China Sea and across the Western Pacific, Beijing is strengthening its maritime presence and creating a new strategic challenge for Washington. #China #ChinaNews #XiJinping #Trump #taiwan

A public live-fire demonstration in Taiwan has drawn attention after multiple TOW anti-tank missiles reportedly malfunctioned during a training exercise. According to reports, one missile fell into the water before reaching its target, another hit but failed to detonate, while others missed entirely. The most dramatic moment came when a missile reportedly lost control shortly after launch and crashed near the firing position. The incident is a reminder that in military technology, reliability depends not only on the weapon itself but also on the systems and people supporting it. #China #taiwan #missiles #MissileLaunch #misfire

India is working on the next generation of the BrahMos missile—and this time, the goal is hypersonic speed. BrahMos-2 is being developed as a much faster successor to the current BrahMos family, with the ambition of reaching speeds of around Mach 7. The biggest challenge is not simply making a missile fly faster. At hypersonic speeds, heat, propulsion, guidance and manoeuvrability become extremely difficult engineering problems. BrahMos-2 is expected to use advanced scramjet propulsion technology to maintain high speed during flight. If India succeeds, BrahMos-2 could give the Indian Armed Forces a powerful new long-range strike capability and take India deeper into the race for operational hypersonic weapons. #india #BrahMos #BrahMosMissile #Pakistan #russia
