BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) — Weapons and military equipment to be displayed at a military parade in China on Sept. 3 will demonstrate the systemic combat capabilities, new combat forces and strategic deterrence power of China’s armed forces, Wu Zeke, an official with the Joint Staff of the Central Military Commission, said at a press conference on Tuesday.
All the weapons and equipment that will appear in the parade are the main combat equipment in active service with the PLA, reflecting China’s independent innovative capability in weapons development, Wu Zeke said.
According to him, the military parade will feature only domestically produced weapons and equipment, which are distinguished by higher strike accuracy, improved adaptability on the battlefield and greater combat effectiveness.
On the same day, it was announced at a press conference that a military parade would be held on September 3 in Tiananmen Square in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War.
Wu Zeke added that all weapons and equipment in the upcoming parade will be selected from combat units of various services and branches of the armed forces, including strategic strike forces, advanced operational and tactical equipment, and new-model combat forces suitable for future forms of warfare.
The weapons and military equipment that will be on display at the parade will also cover the full range of capabilities related to command, control, reconnaissance, early warning, air and missile defence, as well as fire strikes and integrated support.
In addition, the parade will be organized according to battle groups, embodying the basic principles of using information as the main tool, system support, elite troop operations and joint force victory, Wu Zeke said.
Wu Zeke noted that in recent years, China has made a series of technological breakthroughs and developed a batch of advanced weapons and equipment, opening a new era in the development of its weapons.
He added that the latest aircraft carriers, destroyers, stealth fighters, unmanned aerial vehicles and strategic missiles have been put into service at an accelerated pace, marking a major leap forward in the development of the Chinese military’s weapons and equipment and providing strong support for the substantial enhancement of its combat capabilities.
“This has given our military more confidence in its ability to fight and win,” Wu Zeke concluded. -0-
