    US Navy’s New AIM-424 Malice: Countering China’s Growing Airpower (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    With its revealed range in “excess of 250 nautical miles” (287 miles), the U.S. Navy’s new long-range air-to-air missile (AAM) constitutes a major upgrade in the ability of the United States to arrest China’s quest for superior air power in Asia. Pakistan’s victory was enabled by its acquisition of 20 Chengdu Aircraft Corporation 4.5-generation J-10CE fighters, equipped with an estimated 105- to 125-mile-range active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, and armed with 125-plus-mile-range L

    China Exploits SpaceX Moon Crash to Advance Space Warfare (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    China may have leveraged the Aug. 5 lunar impact of the upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket to test space-warfare satellite technology. At the same time, the incident raises questions about whether China will be transparent about the moon-crashing stage of its future lunar landing vehicles. The Aug. 5 moon crash of a nearly 8,600-pound upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket created a new 60-foot-wide crater, demonstrating the destructive power of a piece of space junk traveling at 5,400 mil

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For some time, China has sought to shape a post-American security architecture in the Middle East, and its objectives could be advanced by the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement—or Mecca Agreement—recently signed by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan.

    China Is Starting Dual-Use Planetary Defense Preparations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    China has been openly considering the challenges of defending Earth from asteroids since at least 2020 and may now be transitioning to constructing a planetary defense capability. Such a move could be much more than a thinly-veiled “dual-use” response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome national missile defense, which is planning for low-Earth orbit capabilities to combat Chinese, Russian, and North Korean nuclear missiles, but also a more profound extension into interplanetary combat.

    Axis of Evil Exercises Naval Nuclear Coercion (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Recent naval exercises and demonstrations by China, Russia, and North Korea point to the so-called Axis of Evil moving into the business of naval nuclear coercion, challenging the United States to increase its theater nuclear deterrent capabilities. Most provocatively, on July 6 at 12:01 p.m. China Standard Time (CST), a People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) Type 094 nuclear ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) to a target point in the South Pa
