The U.S. F-35B stealth fighter released the European Meteor long-range air-to-air missile from its internal bomb bay for the first time, completing a non-powered separation test. The test was conducted on October 7 at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland, USA, and was flown by a British Royal Navy test pilot. The F-35 Joint Project Office released the images on November 5. Testing under different flight conditions will continue in the coming months, eventually entering live firing.

The Russian Ministry of Defense released a video showing Mi-28NM attack helicopters launching suspected S8000 "Banderol" or Dan-T cruise missiles during operations in Ukraine. The two weapons are said to have a range of about 500 kilometers, far exceeding traditional helicopter missiles. It shows that the Russian military is trying to transform attack helicopters into long-range standoff strike platforms.

Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets have shot down a total of 4,700 Russian one-way attack drones, including 1,100 in October. However, they are facing a shortage of fighter parts and air-to-air missiles.

The total number of M142 "Haimas" multiple launch rocket systems purchased by the Chinese military from the United States has increased to 111 sets, and it is expected that all of them will be in place from 2030. The military evaluates the forward deployment of some systems to Penghu and Dongyin, and uses them with ATACMS missiles with a range of 300 kilometers to establish cross-sea source anti-access strike capabilities and form a double-layer asymmetric fire network with the domestic Thunder 2000.
