BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) — Domestic military equipment in active service with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) will be on display at a military parade scheduled to be held in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on Sept. 3, a military officer said at a press conference Tuesday.
On September 3, China will hold a military parade in Tiananmen Square in central Beijing to mark 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.
The military parade will feature foot columns, military equipment columns and air echelons. It will feature new types of combat forces, including unmanned intelligent technology.
Major General Wu Zeke of the Joint Staff of the Central Military Commission (CMC) said the formations to be displayed at the military parade will clearly demonstrate the restructured composition of China’s armed forces as a result of recent military reforms.
According to him, the columns of military equipment at the military parade will demonstrate China’s latest achievements in the development of the military equipment system.
The military parade will reflect the new model of using PLA forces – unified command, coordinated operations and comprehensive support, as well as the country’s ability to independently innovate in weapons, the major general added.
The air echelons will highlight the systematic development of China’s air force combat capabilities and the rapid progress of modern strike power, Wu Zeke noted. -0-
