China's Rocket Launchers in First Combat with Thai Forces
Both the Chinese 90B and AR-2 long-range rocket launchers saw their first combat action: On July 26, 2025, local time, the Cambodian Army publicly released footage of the firing of a Chinese-made 90B rocket launcher. The Chinese-made 90B rocket launcher boasts an ammunition reserve of 80 rounds, allowing it to fire 40 rounds in a salvo and then automatically reload another 40 rounds for another salvo! After firing once, the Chinese-made 90B rocket launcher quickly fled and relocated. The Thai army, ready to attack, had no time to react. The Cambodian Army fired 80 rockets and fled with the 90B rocket launcher. The Thai military also confirmed that this was the first time the Cambodian Army had deployed the Chinese-made AR-2 long-range rocket launcher. A Thai Army spokesperson stated on the afternoon of the 26th that the Cambodian artillery unit's first use of the Chinese-made PHL-03 (export model AR-2) long-range rocket launcher, with a range of 130 kilometers, was considered a threat to national security, and the Thai Army was preparing for retaliation.
Russia Gains Confidence with Chinese Tools, Iranian Ammo, N. Korea
Russia's military advantage in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict is becoming increasingly apparent. On July 20th, the Russian army assembled 160,000 troops for an all-out offensive against the Pokrovsk region. Experts generally believe that victory on the front lines is only a matter of time. Meanwhile, Russian experts have identified several key factors contributing to Russia's victory in this conflict: Chinese machine tool technology, North Korean military assistance, and Iranian drone technology. The support of these three countries has become a crucial pillar of Russia's continued operations in the war. So, why have Russian experts reached this conclusion?Since the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, Western countries have imposed severe economic sanctions on Russia. According to statistics, by June 18, 2025, the number of sanctions imposed by Western countries on Russia had reached 30,159, 92% of which officially took effect in February 2022. These sanctions have had a significant impact on Russia's industrial economy, particularly in the arms and high-tech sectors. However, China's role in this conflict has been particularly important. Not only has China acted as a "peacemaker" diplomatically, calling on all parties to return to the negotiating table, but in terms of economic cooperation, Sino-Russian trade has not been affected by Western sanctions. After the West withdrew from the Russian market, Chinese goods quickly filled the gap. From automobiles to CNC machine tools, most of Russia's needs can be met through Chinese companies.

From July 16 to 20, 2025, the most influential academic event in the field of international robotic surgery, the SRS Conference (Society of Robotic Surgery), was held in Strasbourg, France. Experts and scholars from more than 30 countries around the world gathered together to discuss the future trends and technological changes in robotic surgery. As a representative company of China's truly independent and original surgical robot technology, Surui® Robotics was invited to bring its serpentine arm single-port surgical robot platform to the conference again, and formally signed a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with IRCAD, the world's top robotic surgery training center, marking a key step in Surui® Robotics' accelerated global strategic layout and injecting strong momentum into deepening international market expansion.
AI Systems Boost Production by Identifying Bottlenecks
At a time when intelligent manufacturing is developing rapidly, the CNC IoT management platform keeps pace with the times and introduces the latest artificial intelligence technology to optimize the CNC production process and improve production efficiency. The platform uses machine learning algorithms in artificial intelligence to deeply mine and analyze massive production data. These data cover equipment operating parameters, product processing technology, raw material characteristics, and past production efficiency and quality feedback. Based on the results of data analysis, the artificial intelligence system can identify bottlenecks and potential optimization points in the production process. For example, when processing complex parts, AI can dynamically adjust cutting parameters such as cutting speed and feed rate according to the wear of the tool, the hardness of the processed material, and the real-time processing accuracy requirements to ensure that the processing process is always in a good state, which can not only improve the processing accuracy but also shorten the processing time. In terms of production scheduling, AI can comprehensively consider factors such as order priority, equipment availability, and raw material inventory, intelligently plan production tasks, make equipment utilization, and reduce equipment idle time. Through intelligent optimization of production processes, the production efficiency of enterprises has been greatly improved, the defective rate has been reduced, and production costs have been effectively controlled. Production tasks that originally required a lot of manpower and time to complete can now be completed with the help of artificial intelligence technology, and the stability of product quality can be guaranteed, allowing enterprises to stand out in the fierce market competition with their best production capabilities and achieve a leap in economic benefits. The platform supports the access of multiple CNC equipment, unified management, and realizes the full integration of production resources. Shenzhen Customized CNC IoT Management Platform Maintenance

China Steps Up Missile Production Amid West's Machine Tool Lockdown
Since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the West has imposed a wide variety of sanctions on Russia, with unprecedented intensity.
Among them, high-end machine tools and CNC systems, which are regarded as core components, have been withdrawn from the Russian market by Western suppliers.
A "remote lock" mechanism has also been introduced, and once the equipment is found to be transferred, it will be immediately blocked.
In theory, such sanctions should put Russia's military industry into a bottleneck.
The facts are unexpected: Russia not only overcame the sanctions, but also doubled its missile production capacity.
Who is the key variable? Can China really "have enough quantity" to support the Russian military industry?
Western sanctions: Cut off the supply of "heart"
Since 2022, Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan and other countries have imposed export bans on Russian precision machine tools and CNC systems,
and require end users to sign a remote management agreement. As long as the equipment goes beyond the approved scope, it may be remotely locked.
CNC Customization Service: Experts in High-Precision Medical Device Prototypes
Five-axis precision CNC machining technology for medical parts is an indispensable key link in modern medical device manufacturing. This technology uses advanced five-axis linkage CNC machine tools to perform extremely precise machining of metals or other biocompatible materials. This capability is essential for manufacturing extremely demanding medical components such as surgical instruments, bone plates, and joint implants, because these components are not only usually very complex in shape, but also have dimensional accuracy and surface finish that are directly related to the patient's treatment effect and safety. Subsequent content will explore in depth how this technology can achieve micron-level precision control, its application examples in specific medical device production, and how a quality management system that strictly follows international standards can jointly ensure the reliability and safety of the final product.
