When I first posted this back in 2017, I viewed the Chengdu J-10 primarily as China’s equivalent to the MiG-29 and early F-16. Who knew that in less than a decade, the J-10, especially the modern J-10CE variant, would evolve into an aircraft capable of going toe-to-toe with the Dassault Rafale and become an export hit for China! Airpower dynamics evolve at Mach speed!
#Airbus just proved you don’t need a $1M missile to kill a $20K drone.
Their Bird of Prey..... a modified Do-DT25.... flew its maiden demo yesterday, autonomously hunted a kamikaze target, and fired a Frankenburg Mk1.
Specs: 2.5 m span, 3.1 m long, 160 kg, four (soon eight) ultra-light missiles (65 cm / <2 kg / 1.5 km / EO fire-and-forget).
Nine months from kick off to first air to air kill. Cost per shot drops dramatically compared to traditional SHORAD. #Drones
Iranian media has posted what appears to be debris from a USAF F-15E Strike Eagle, reportedly downed earlier today.

@spy_x_spy@LevitskyGregory@Vit_Ovchar@grok Did US CIA funded Afghans during Soviet Afghan war? And gave MANPADs to shoot Russian aircrafts? And Di the same Mujahadeens later became Taliban and Al-Qaeda that caused 9/11?
@Sonavfar@GeostratB@Blackrussiantv@75Sukhoi All of what you said was incorrect 😂.
@grok did US acknowledge the failure of Patriot missle during gulf war? And what was the interception rate of the Patriot systems?
