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

What is your assessment based on?

I could be wrong. I thought the guard of honour have all replaced their type 56 rifles with the type 191. But I forgot the 标兵 who were still holding onto the type 56 in this parade.

This HQ-20 seems to have a similar footprint as the HQ-11 but longer, assuming that its role is equivalent to that of S-350/KM-SAM could it be a potential candidate for the UVLS quad-packable SAM, offering better performance than the HQ-11 like the Russian 9M96E2 to the 9M96.

Not really since the HQ-11 vehicle comes with its own radar. They are different categories of system.

Anyone have a link to the full parade in high quality? the youtube ones are absolutely trash compared to these CCTV 4k stills.

IIRC,sometimes the ceremonial guards in their gun handling duties like/require the older rifle types like AK47/Type 56 /SKS/even a bolt-action(?) makes for better salute/twirling gun handling demonstrations
