China Is About to Show Off Its New High-Tech Weapons to the World

China is preparing For the most expected and politically charged military events in recent years. September 3, in Tiananman Square, China Will celebrate the 5th anniversary of victory against Japan in World War II that with spectacular military march that is not only in memory of Historical Tihasik, a message to the whole world that has a message to be prepared. Future war.

Several foreign leaders and officials, including President Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, will attend the event. The presence of the President of Russia has been reported to have persuaded a number of European ambassadors to consider the flaws, fearing that it would contribute to the international legalization of Kremlin in the ongoing war against Ukraine.

Sends a message to China’s new weapon

The march will last about 70 minutes and will see dozens of formations by parading the Chang’an Avenue in Beijing’s heart. Shi, as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, will review the army before walking through the square. There will be more than 10,000 military personnel, more than 100 aircraft and hundreds of ground vehicles.

The official theme is the celebration of peace and international justice, but the real content is the Shipl Liberation Army’s skills to fight high-tech warfare in new strategic domains: cyberspace, outstanding and hypersonic and hypersonic warfire. According to the leaked information of Chinese clothing rehearsals and government sources, more than 100 model weapons systems, all domesticly produced and already in operational services, will be displayed.

Enter the anti-ship missiles

The most expected weapons include the new Yage (Ying G, “AG Gaul Shot”) series anti -ship missiles, designated YJ -15, Y -17, YJ -10, and YJ -20. These are the systems designed for a specific mission: large US naval units, especially aircraft carriers, to neutralize the heart of American domination in the Pacific. These carriers are part of A2/AD (Anti-Acas/Region Denial) of China, that is, part of the “Defensive Bubble” creating that can prevent or risk it to access the enemy fleet to the South China Sea, it is risky Taiwan Straight, and the West Pacific.

China has created a wide anti -Ship missile in recent decades, often starting with Soviet technology, and then has surpassed their native designs since the YJ -8 in the sixties, obtained from French exostes. With the help of a new series, China is aiming for a more qualitative jump, combining stealth, hypersonic speed and artificial intelligence.

The right specifications are top secrets, but some distinct features come from general tests and expert analysis. First: At least the speed of Mac 4-6, thus the range of hypersonic missiles, with the ability to avoid the terminal exercise anti-missile systems. Second: The range of a few hundred kilometers. Third: The combined flight profile with the cruise episode at medium high altitude, then the sea grazing descent to reduce the possibility of obstructing. Fourth: Multiple Guidances with Bedu Satellite, Active Radar and IR Sensors. Fifth: To introduce adaptable versatility with aircraft, ships, submarines and mobile land platforms by increasing potential saturation against the enemy fleet. Keep these weapons in the United States indicate that the aircraft is no longer untouchable and the Pacific is no longer the “American Sea”.

Hypersonic is running

Also the new launchers expected in the parade are able to overcome US missile defense and provide Beijing with credible strategic resistance. Rehearsal images show road-mobile ballistic missile systems, an ideal weapon to ensure the so-called second strike in nuclear conflict. China is developing and deploying a new generation of a new mobile intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), designed to confirm the survival of the nuclear deterioration forces in a pre -festival incident.

Among the main models are DF -31ag, with an estimated range of more than 11,000 km (6,835 miles), capable of hitting any goals in the continental USA. Next DF -41. Considered as China’s most powerful intercontinental missile, it has a range of 12,000 to 15,000 km (7,456 to 9,320 miles) and can carry 10 MRV warheads, capable of hitting each separate target. It can be launched from both mobile and silo and rail platforms. Beijing is also doing a lot of banking in JL -1, an ICBM that can be launched from nuclear submarine, is currently being deployed in the new type 096 grade of submarines.

Stiley drone

According to several analysts, the FH -97 will also be displayed in the parade on September 3: China’s first unmanned aircraft has announced war -war. The nickname “Loyl Wingman”, is capable of working with humanitarian warriors, reconsidering, attacking and performing electronic jamming missions. If confirmed, China will become the first country in the world that this type of stealth drone has been declared as “war prepared”, even ahead of the United States and Australia, which is still experimenting with similar models like Australia’s Boeing MQ -28 Ghost Bat or US Skybirg projects.

Many details remain confidential, but from what has arisen the FH-97 guided bombs and air-to-air or air-to-surface missiles can be carried and packed censors for revival and electronic war. Furthermore, it can network with fighters like J -20 or J -I6, acting as a ball quality for aggressive and protective missions. Finally, it should be freely strategically strategic intelligence, to follow pre -open routes, avoid threats and cooperate with humankind aircraft. Showing this aircraft to the public means that Beijing is capable of supporting the next generation air operations that are difficult to fight with current defense doctrine.

Block and tackle

In addition to hypersonic missiles and ICBM, China’s developer weapons are less obvious but potential revolutionary arsenal: the electronic warfare system and the guided-power weapon. If the missiles are weapons of visible deterioration, electronic and indicated energy weapons are silent equipment that can blind enemy radar and communication system, neutralize drones and missiles on the flight, and protect Chinese forces from cyber- and space attacks.

China has invested a lot in the field, seeing it as a decision -maker by winning “IT” and “cute” conflicts. China’s mobile land and naval systems can jam the frequencies used by airborne radar, cruise missiles and satellites, while some people combine brigade cybattacks and electronic jamming in some people, as well as targeting enemy hardware and software. On the other hand, direct-power weapons use concentrated beams of energy (laser, microwaves, high-power electronic waves) to hit the target without the traditional projectile.

Also the exhibition will have the latest models of re -construction drones and combat drones, including inhumane waters, including increasing Chinese surveillance capacity in controversial water. These systems have a symbolic value in the parade on September 3: Beijing wants to show that it is not only caught in the West, but in some cases it is aim to surpass it.
