60th Anniversary National Day Parade

This Is What I Heard When I Was In China:

China will cut 700,000 land forces; and add 150,000 each to navy & air force.

This is from a reliable source, where is the place supposed to be cut. The unit is a "army size" or the commanding officer is a major general.

DF-31A simply a modification of DF-31, their size are identical. less weight more ranges.
HTPB propellant to NEPE propellant up stage
fibre glass to carbon fibre hull

HHQ-16 SAM model

YJ-62 ASM

UAVs

CJ-?? LACM

whats the source for that info? I really doubt with the same size you go from 7200 km range to 11200 range...thats a 55.5% performance increase...

simply search google for "nepe propellant" most academic item linked to chinese paper.

What is the purpose of digital camo anyway? Is it harder for the human eye to discern?

CADPAT was developed by the Canadian military over a 20 year period and implemented in early 2000 in the CF. The US Marines later with research information from Canada developed their own MARPAT.

Actually it is not very appealing to the human eyes. It is actually very effective against digital visual equipment such as night visions and camera systems used in APV, tanks and cameras on recon aircraft.

As far as I know, the PLA is only the 3rd military to use DPAT BDUs. India's military actually made it a point that they were very impressed with the PLA's DPAT BDUs. I am very impressed that they are using it as a paint scheme on the vehicles which is a first that I know of !

You still havent answered my question...what is the source of your technical info regarding DF-31A

Apparently PLA sticks with an old tradition and is showing off only not exactly brand new toys...

(Rumor has it that a new Midgetman class SICBM and a Topol-M lookalike may have to wait for 2014...)

Nevertheless the revealing of DH-10/CJ-10 (PLA/PLAN version?) is certainly somewhat exciting, at least for guys being convinced that a long range cruise missile is actually beyond PRC's capabilities. So get used that those ´military experts´ on CNN or BBC will be drooling about this in a couple of weeks...:nutkick:

Its impossible obtain a reliable source of this kind form china...
here is a analysis of possible technology adopted to DF-31/a and JL-2(in chinese),base on official material.
