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

[Blitzo]

096 is unrealistic because we have no indication of it starting construction, 095 is more likely to be shown

Even 09V would be a stretch in 2027. Even if we say 09V is launched today, the lead boat entering service within 2 years is not impossible, but would need to be speedy for what is a whole new SSN class in every sense of the word.
And even if it managed to enter service in 2027, the idea of the PLAN officially showing a new nuclear submarine that has just entered service months ago, is very unlikely.


09IIIB reveal in an official capacity in 2027 is more viable.

I won't be surprised if the PLA is actually "mislabeling" their parade equipment just to confuse the hell out of Westoid PLA watchers:



So ladies and gentlemen - What does the JL-1's appearance in the 9-3 parade tells us?

I noticed that they didn't show the digital NVG from 2019 parade this time. How widespread was that NVG put into service?

This is a friendly reminder that this individual is paid to do this. Yes, really.
