I think it is, or at least very close.

I was also very surprised at the size of that laser, really makes me wonder what the power output is and it's range and damage abilities

As someone already said, one big focus seems to be on drone / anti-drone warfare. I wish there were more traditional tanks / IFVs on show, e.g. like 04B, Type 191 family and Type 05 successor. Also, anything ends up not being shown in the actual parade?

That kind of goes against the stated doctrine of the PLA, which now focuses on air, maritime, and information domain. That's probably they showed 99B and some 100 mm (?) self-propelled infantry support gun and moved onto maritime component.

Inverse-square law is a thing, so we should all probably temper our expectations here...

(Just in) PLA released a video showing parade aircrafts taking off. It's much more clean & clear.

Including J-20S, KJ-600, J-35(A?), etc.

Also released another video showing DF-61. By the way, WTF is DF-61? Anyone knows more?

YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19 and YJ-20 were all introduced as "hypersonic weapons". Can we take that as official confirmation that the YJ-15 is hypersonic, or they just couldn't be bothered to make a distinction between YJ-15 and the other hypersonic AShMs?

YJ is equipped on destroyer right? Why they need so many version of hypersonic on a destroyer

Someone need to list out the capabilities and differences for each number.

And what is DF61 lol? same as DF41? I think DF5C is the cream of the crop because it was the last one.
