Hypersonic missiles were front and center. China unveiled new models, including the DF-17 and the anti-ship DF-26D. These weapons are designed to be unstoppable, capable of evading current missile defense systems.

New Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) were also on display, including the DF-61 and the upgraded DF-5C. These missiles have the range to strike targets globally, significantly enhancing China's strategic deterrence

For the first time, China publicly showcased its complete nuclear triad: land, sea, and air-launched nuclear missiles. The debut of the Jinglei-1 air-launched missile marks a major milestone for the PLA.

The parade featured a new generation of "carrier killer" anti-ship missiles, like the YJ-21. These weapons are a clear threat to naval fleets and are designed to reshape maritime warfare.

China's drone technology is advancing rapidly. The GJ-11 "Loyal Wingman" UCAV was a highlight, designed to fly alongside crewed aircraft. This is a key step towards next-generation air combat.

The innovation isn't just in the air. China also unveiled a new underwater drone, the AJX002. This long, tube-shaped craft signals Beijing's growing ambitions in undersea warfare.

In the skies, new carrier-based fighter jets like the J-15T and the stealthy J-35 made their debut. These aircraft are crucial for China's expanding aircraft carrier fleet and power projection capabilities.

On the ground, China showcased its next-generation battle tanks: the Type 99B and the new fourth-generation Type 100. These tanks feature advanced protection systems and are designed for the modern battlefield.

Beyond conventional weapons, China also revealed new space and laser defense systems. The HQ-29 is reportedly capable of taking down satellites, and new ship-based laser weapons were also on display.

Overall, the 2025 Victory Day parade was a powerful statement of China's military modernization and its growing global ambitions. The world is watching as a new era of military technology unfolds.

@shawnchauhan1 All temu quality as well

@Mericamemed Lmao

@shawnchauhan1 Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak.

@SplinterTrades Very well said. @grok who said this?

@shawnchauhan1 Why are their mics on the car? Why does this whole thing look like a green screen comp?

@Court_Reinland No clue, I wonder if they pre-shot this or if it was televised live.

@shawnchauhan1 This is less about celebrating history and more about reminding the world who's boss or at least, who's trying to be. Talk about a power move

@0xSese For real

@shawnchauhan1 This is not science fiction. Nightscape in Nanjing, China

@Viral_vortex1 This looks like a video game.

@shawnchauhan1 Impresionante lo que están mostrando. Sin duda, un recordatorio del poderío militar actual.

@PabloEvans0 Yes for sure, very interesting tech.

@shawnchauhan1 The USA literally don't have a single weapon in this video, Safe to say China is the world super power now

@shawnchauhan1 I don't care. I'm a regular person. The thought of war never crosses my mind. I'm too worried about living a decent life. This is for the elite and the cogs that follow their bullshit agendas

@shawnchauhan1 Now if China could just build a submarine without it sinking immediately upon launch they might be able to project their power better than crashing their own ships into each other in Philippines territorial waters @shawnchauhan1

@shawnchauhan1 Ya no. Their people are unarmed. This is a major weakness and would be what america wouod exploit beyond messure. If your people can’t actually defend themselves against their own government you think they csn defend themselves against other governments? Hard no in real time war.

@shawnchauhan1 More silly sabre rattling. No one superpower is going to full-scale war with every other superpower having a fully loaded nuclear quick-draw sidearm. Go skirmish around somewhere less threatening, get several thousand people killed and maimed. Have a meeting, solve nothing, and

@shawnchauhan1 NOTHING TO DATE THAT COMES FROM CHINA IS ORIGINAL. LOOK AT THE UNIFORMS OF THE SOLDIERS, COPYING FROM THE WEST. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE CHINESE CULTURE? 🤔🤪 MADE IN CHINA MEANS ALL ARE STOLEN AND COPIED. 🤣🤣🤣

@shawnchauhan1 We are fckd! How did China achieve all this without anyone noticing such a progress?

@shawnchauhan1 sick stupid communist fuckers.

@shawnchauhan1 Gee...it's almost like China is building up for something. Kind of like Germany in the late 1930's.... I'm sure it will be just fine. Not like the operate concentration camps or anything....oh..wait...they do. Ooops!

@shawnchauhan1 This is less about celebrating history its more about reminding the world how it work this is a power move. USA are known for making nose if you ask me

@shawnchauhan1 Please do not tell me the U.S. military has been long familiar with these technology developments, and isn’t stupid enough to hold a public parade. More importantly, it isn’t necessary. When you drive a Ferrari, you don’t need to speed.
