YouTube...

I think CGTN will be live streaming on YouTube.

TWZ really should follow the Guancha trio's suggestion and start paid live streaming. It'd be really profitable.

The one on top appears similar to a mystery bird from satellite photo several years ago at CAC. TWZ thought that it was the Chinese sixth gen back then.

Isn't there one missing from the line-up? There seem to be one of roughly similar shape but smaller than the CAC Little Leaf in the satellite pictures. Hopefully something hypersonic (would they show WZ-8 again?).

Anyway so for high end CCAs shown in the satellite pics we have identified Little J-50, Little J-36/Little Leaf, sino-YFQ-42 (or larger) and GJ11/21.

From 2019 parade (presented in sequence):
LZ = 陆上作战模块 — Land Operations Module
HZ = 海上作战模块 — Maritime Operations Module
FK = 防空反导模块 — Air Defense and Missile Defense Module
XZ = 信息作战模块 — Information Operations Module
WR = 无人作战模块 — Unmanned Operations Module
HF = 后勤装备保障模块 — Logistics Support Module
ZL = 战略打击模块 — Strategic Strike Module

The commentator will begin by announcing the name of the module（模块）, followed by an introduction of the formations（方队） it contains.

I feel ZL should be FK

There also is a smaller lambda wing aircraft missing along with the diamond wing one

I thought it would be a pretty lame parade without 6th gens, and just drones

But just the missiles and torpedoes coming out now are more exciting than I expected

The equipment displayed in this military parade are all in service, with sixth-generation fighter jets being the first to be excluded. On the other hand, this military parade will showcase a number of high-end unmanned combat aircraft.
