The western media is shaking in their collective boots about the nuclear weapons mentioned in Putin's announcement, but they have totally ignored perhaps the most important revelation and that is the information about the Kinzhai (Dagger).
They are operational in the Southern Military District on board MiG-31. I don't doubt that SU-30/34/35 can carry them as well.
On board the MiG-31 makes this a very formidable weapons system. Without any notion of hyperbole, naval warfare as we know it is finished. We have entered a new era where no modern or prospective air defense system deployed by any NATO fleet can intercept a single Kinzhai. A salvo of six or so of these missiles will decimate a carrier battle group.
New Chinese combat aircraft broke cover in a flood of social media photos and videos on Dec. 26 showing them in flight and revealing two new examples of China’s evolution as an aerospace innovator.
One new aircraft appeared in social media posts revealing a large, three-engine warplane with a cockpit and diamond-style wing with no vertical tails. Yaw control appears to be managed by Northrop Grumman B-2-style split rudders.
In light of the deteriorating relationship with the U.S., South Korea is courting Canada as potential customer and defense partner.
I hope we go this direction. Australia and Poland, two countries very serious about building a strong military, have already joined on to have South Korea become their main arms supplier.
