2025 Victory Day parade thread (workup, 3rd Sept)

Well, they only showed four

We know from imagery that there are more than what is shown

I counted one low/mid-tier and one high-tier CCA-type UCAVs that weren't shown during the parade.

Hopefully the rest will be shown during the next parade(s) if not Zhuhai 2026, alongside their respective designations.

Is this an actual service vehicle or is it just for displaying the laser?

The laser was shown alongside naval systems and weapons but there ought to be land based equivalents. The vehicle might be for land based units and house the power supply for the laser. The laser is also a naval weapon though.

FUCK, I MISSED THE FIRST FOUR HOURS OF THE PARADE!

Where do I watch rewinds?

 

[ioulaum]

rewinds for quick reference, not the best quality though

Seems like the taiwanese dude is also watching per live stream, i thought he got direct access...

Seems the focus is on hi tech drone and automated stuff these days.

Whoever can engineer it best will have a huge upper hand.

The rhythm is too fast. The description is too rough. The weather is too smoky.

We need analyze the live video afterwards frame by frame to get some useful things.

CCTV is still the same CCTV. It has already messed up once in 2019.

I was asking because I think it makes sense the vehicle could house a power supply, but I thought it was odd it had no integrated radar. Assuming it's a service vehicle, then the radar might be separate, but we haven't seen how such an air defense battery would look like.

The days of using only the traditional stuff like human planes, tanks, soldiers has past.

The future relies a lot more on much higher level tech now and to involve less human output. All while keeping in affordable in large quantities.

They made it tiktok friendly xD.

Most interesting to me was they've gone beyond just the Wingmen, but actual 6th gen unmanned fighters. I do believe there will still be a certain controllable degree of autonomy depending on the situation.

I also think this is a wise way to hard-counter the combined numerical superiority of Western 5th gens.

That IMO also signals the end of J-10 production (soon). It had a good run o/. Do not be saddened, Its okay, PAF will keep Rafale-Killers alive in our mind space and the PAF fanbois will keep it alive on the social media.
