China offered a glimpse of its growing army at a parade in Beijing on Wednesday (3 September), showing new hypersonic and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICMBs) and drone systems.
The parade was held to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Many new systems were displayed for the first time, including those capable of giving nuclear weapons from air, sea and land, demonstrating global strike capacity.
The system on the performance includes JL-1 (Jinglei-1) air-launched long-ranch missile and JL-3 (Julang-3) submarine-lounted intercontinental missile. Apart from this, rolls were DF-61 land-based ICBM and new types of DF-31BJ were land-based intercontinental missiles.
Parade images also showed systems including newly manifest AJX-002 huge submarine drones, GJ-11 stealth attack drones, which can go with fighter jets and CS-5000T stealth drones. Also YJ-19 was an anti-ship missile.

A weapon on display with space -related capacity was a weapon headquarters -19, a midcourse ballistic missile defense interceptor that can also be used to target objects in satellites such as low Earth class (Leo).
A type of headquarters -19 has been used by some analysts for China’s 2007 anti -satellite test, which targets a defective Fengun weather satellite in Leo, which produces a large cloud of both space debris and vocal international condemnation.
Chinese state news agency Xinhua said a large -scale military parade “was part of the country’s commitment to peaceful development in the world, which is still full of unrest and uncertainties.” Performance also serves as a performance of capabilities and a preventive.
