North Korea test-fired an upgraded 600-millimeter multiple rocket launcher on Tuesday under leader Kim Jong-un's supervision, following his recent factory inspection of the system. State media reported the test demonstrated high accuracy over long range, calling it vital for the country's strategic deterrent ahead of next month's party congress.
Fan Huitao and his team, working on a '711' schedule, are credited with advancing China's air-to-air missile development to the fourth generation. The PL-15E, an export variant of the PL-15, is a fourth-generation beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. Its extensive range, integrated with early warning systems, enables operators to engage targets from afar and secure the first strike in combat.
