In order to avoid gaps in field air defense readiness, the Army decided to break the previous model of having the Navy perform inspections on its behalf, and planned to commission the Chinese Academy of Sciences to invest more than 259 million yuan in renovating old ammunition depots and creating a dedicated inspection workshop and testing equipment for Lu Jian-II anti-aircraft missiles, declaring that the Army's air defense logistics is moving towards complete independence.

Pakistani troops are expected to take over defensive functions for Saudi Arabia, freeing up Saudi forces to fight an all-out war against Yemen's Houthi rebels without directly participating in ground offensives.

The first batch of my country's newly purchased F-16 fighter jets arrived in Taiwan, and it was reported that the electronic warfare system has not yet been installed, causing concern. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan expressed support for rational military procurement and believed that the Ministry of National Defense should seriously face delivery difficulties.

For the first time, the Taiwan Navy has allocated a budget of 12 million yuan to directly purchase underwater glider autonomous cruise and acoustic tracking systems and conduct actual combat evaluations. This move aims to abandon the traditional cumbersome project construction model and introduce low-cost, long-term latency silent equipment to make up for the blind spots in underwater voiceprint collection and strengthen asymmetric combat capabilities.

South Korea has rarely released footage of the Hyunmoo-5 ballistic missile test, showing the cold launch and main engine ignition process. The missile can carry about 8 metric tons of super-heavy conventional warheads and is specifically designed to penetrate and destroy North Korea's command centers, missile bases and fortified facilities buried deep underground. The missile adopts a two-section solid fuel design with a launch weight of about 36 tons and a length of 15 to 20 meters. Xuanwu-5 emphasizes high weight, high precision and terminal high-speed kinetic energy, using high-density materials to concentrate energy to penetrate rock formations and detonate internal explosives. The development of this weapon can be traced back to the early 2010s. It will enter mass production preparations at the end of 2023 and begin operational deployment at the end of 2025. It has been included in South Korea's large-scale punitive retaliation (KMPR) in the three-axis system.

At the 2026 Taichung AI Application and Smart Manufacturing Exhibition, the Armament Administration unveiled three types of sights: a close-combat scope, a reflective scope, and a laser illuminator for the T112 rifle. Each type has an annual production capacity of approximately 12,000 units. The melee scope has 4x magnification and an observation distance of 1 km. The reflective scope is suitable for close range shooting. The Ministry of National Defense expects to purchase nearly 200,000 internal red dot and optical sights over three years starting next year, surpassing the number of T112 rifles manufactured.
