The first export of the domestic Hongqi-9BE long-range anti-aircraft missile
At the recent Pakistan National Day military parade, China's weapons and equipment once again made a big show and became the highlight of the parade, including VT-4 tanks, SH-18 howitzers, J-10CE fighters, and a series of new weapons and equipment were unveiled publicly, attracting people's attention. It is worth mentioning that almost all of the anti-aircraft missile systems exhibited by Pakistan at the parade originated from China, including Hongqi-7B (FM-90), Hongqi-16 (LY-80), Hongqi-9 (Hongqi-9P) and Hongqi-9BE missiles, which constitute the complete long-range, medium-range and short-range air defense and missile defense system of the Pakistani army.
Particularly striking is the Hongqi-9 series of anti-aircraft missile systems, which are not only used in the Pakistan Army, but also equipped with the latest Hongqi-9BE version, thus providing long-range air defense capabilities in both field and key air defense. The Hongqi-9BE is the first public appearance of the Pakistani military after its installation, and the Pakistan Air Force is also the first overseas user of the domestic Hongqi-9BE long-range anti-aircraft missile.
Based on the available data and information, this journal has made a detailed interpretation of the air defense weapons and equipment of the Continental Red Flag series that Pakistan has purchased at the military parade in various aspects, such as the process, performance characteristics, and what role it has played in purchasing the continental Hongqi series of air defense missiles from Pakistan, so as to provide readers with them.

After about 37 minutes of flight, the Long March 5 Yao-8 carrier rocket separated and sent the Chang'e-6 probe directly into the predetermined Earth-Moon transfer orbit. Subsequently, with the support of ground tracking and control and the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, the Chang'e-6 probe successfully landed, collected lunar surface rock and lunar soil samples in a pre-selected area on the far side of the moon, and carried out scientific exploration at the same time. At 7:38 on June 4, the Chang'e-6 ascender took off from the far side of the moon with lunar samples, and the 3000N engine worked for about 6 minutes before successfully sending the ascender into the predetermined orbit around the moon.

[Japanese sixth-generation aircraft, South Korean Xuanwu series missiles]
Not long ago, Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara held talks at the Ministry of Defense with visiting British Defense Secretary Shapps and Italian Defense Minister Crosetto. The three parties signed an agreement on the joint development of a new generation of fighters, which are expected to start development in 2025 and strive to be deployed by 2035. According to the report, the headquarters of the international organization on the next generation of fighters will be located in the United Kingdom. The first leader is expected to be a Japanese, and the three governments will send a total of several hundred dignitaries. The treaty contains obligations from States parties such as the provision of operating funds and the protection of secret information. The Japanese government will submit a draft ratification of the treaty to the regular Diet next year, and plans to include about 4 billion yen (about 200 million yuan) in the 2024 budget operating funds.
