China will soon show their new-technological weapons in the world

China is preparing For one of the most obvious and politically charged military events in recent years. 3. September in Tiananmen Square, China It will celebrate the anniversary of the victory over Japan in World War II with a spectacular military parade that is not just a ritual of historical memory, but also the message to the entire world to be prepared for that War of the future.

President of the KSI Jinping and several foreign leaders and officials, including Vladimir Putin, will attend ceremony. The presence of the Russian president was reported to consider several European ambassadors to consider the event failure, fearing that it will contribute to the international legitimization of Kremlin in the middle of the current war against Ukraine.

Chinese new weapons send a message

The parade will last about 70 minutes and will see dozens of formations by parading down Chang’an Avenue in the heart of Beijing. KSI, as the supreme commander of the armed forces, will review the troops before March through the square. More than 10,000 military personnel will be included, more than 100 aircraft and hundred basic vehicles.

The official topic is a celebration of peace and international justice, but the real content will be a demonstration of the abilities of the liberation army to fight high-tech wars in new strategic domains: CIBERSPACE, external space, electronic and hypersonial warfare. According to the information from the Chinese testing of clothing and official sources, more than 100 models of weapons, all domestic produced and already in the operational service will be available.

Enter the anti-ship’s rockets

Among the most beaten weapons are new IJ (Iing Ji, “Eagle Shot”) Series Anti-Ship rockets, marked IJ-15, IJ-17, IJ-19 and IJ-20. These are systems designed for a specific mission: to neutralize large American naval units, especially aircraft carriers, the heart of American oversight in the Pacific. These carriers are part of the Chinese A2 / AD (Arsi-ADSI), ie. By creating “defensive bubbles” that can prevent or do too risky to approach the hostile fighters to the Southern Chinese Sea Taiwan Agricultural and Western Pacific.

China has developed a wide range of anti-marine missiles in recent decades, often starting with Soviet technologies, and then exceeded them with an indigenous design of IJ-8 in the 1980s, obtained from French exocets. With new series, China aims to a further qualitative jump, combining concealment, hypersonic speed and artificial intelligence.

The exact specifications are top secret, but from general tests and professional analysis, some differences in focus come into focus. First: speed at least MACH 4-6, therefore, in the range of hyperson missiles, with the ability to maneuver the terminal to avoid anti-rocket systems. Second: the range of hundreds of miles. Third: The combined flight profile, with a cruise in the middle height, followed by the passes to the sea to reduce the possibility of interception. Fourth: Multiple guidelines with Beidou satellite, active radar and IR sensor. Fifth: Starting versatility, customizable planes, ships, submarines and mobile land platforms, increasing possible saturation on enemy fleets. Collect, this weapon signal to the United States that the plane bearers are no longer untouchable, and the arcs are no longer “US Sea”.

Hypersonic

It is also expected to have new launch places capable of overcoming American missile defense and give Beijing with credible strategic deterrence. The reheals show that travel-mobile ballistic missile systems, ideal weapons to ensure so-called second shocks in case of nuclear conflict. China develops and arranges a new generation of advanced mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), designed to ensure the survival of nuclear deterrent force in case of preventive strike.

Among the main models is DF-31AG, with an estimated range of more than 11,000 kilometers (6,835 miles), which can guess any goal in continental united states. Next is DF-41. The most powerful intercontinental projectile in China is considered, it has a range of over 12,000 to 15,000 kilometers (7,456 to 9,320 miles) and can carry up to 10 Mirv’s gods, each is capable of hitting a different goal. It is mobile and can be started from silo and railway platforms. Beijing is also largely banking at JL-3, ICBM, which can be started from nuclear submarines, currently deployed on the new class 096 submarine.

Deadly Stealth Dron

According to several analysts, a parade of 3. September will also present FH-97: Chinese first unmanned aircraft declared a ready fight. The “loyal Vingman” sounded, he is capable of working in synergy with engagement, performing reconnaissance, attack and missions for stuck and electronic stacks. If it is confirmed, China would become the first country in the world to declare “The fight ready”, which still experiment with similar models such as Australia Boeing MK-28 Ghost Baeing MK-28 Ghost Skiborg project.

Many details remain confidential, but from what appeared, the FH-97 can carry guided bombs and air or air or air or air and the surface and packs sensors for reconnaissance and electronic warfare. In addition, it can network with wrinkles like J-20 or J-16, acting as a force multiplier for offensive and defensive missions. Finally, there should be artificial intelligence systems to maneuver independently, follow the pre-programmed routes, avoid threats and cooperate with plane management. Showing this airplane in public means signaling Washington, Tokyo and Taipei that Beijing is able to support the air surgeries of the next generation that is difficult to oppose the current Defense doctrines.

Block and fight

In addition to hyperson missiles and ICBM, the Chinese developing weapons includes less strikingly, but potentially revolutionary arsenal: electronic war systems and a directional energy weapon. If the rockets are a weapon of visible deterrent, electronic and directed energy weapons, which can blind enemy radar and communication systems, neutralize drone drugs and flight rockets and protecting Chinese forces from cyberspace space attacks.

China put strongly in the field, seeing it as crucial in the victory of “informatized” and “intelligenced” conflicts. The Chinese mobile country and naval systems can stuck frequencies that use wardrets, cruises of rockets and satellites, while some national brigades combine cibertial pits and electronic jams, at the same time targeting enemy hardware and software. On the other hand, direct energy weapons, on the other hand, use concentrated energy beams (lasers, microwave, electromagnetic high-power waves) for strike goals without traditional missiles.

Also, there will be the latest scout models and combat drone models, including unmanned underwater, expanded Chinese monitoring possibilities in disputed waters. Debut on the parade of these systems from 3. September has a strong symbolic value: Beijing wants to show that it is not only caught West, but in some areas it aims to outdo it.
