China's September 3 military parade will showcase a series of cutting-edge weapons

DF-17 hypersonic missile - A weapon that "penetrates" defenses

The DF-17 intermediate-range ballistic missile is one of the focus of attention. With its hypersonic glide vehicle, it is capable of flying at the edge of the atmosphere, changing direction continuously, creating complex trajectories that are difficult for enemy defense systems to track and intercept.

The DF-17 is designed to carry out precision strikes in all weather conditions.

Wolf Robots and Multi-Battlefield Drones

China will introduce a new generation of battlefield robots, including intelligent four-legged "robotic wolves" capable of moving in packs, carrying loads and supporting infantry on complex terrain.

In addition, there are large, multi-functional unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and underwater vehicles (UUVs) capable of carrying weapons and launching targeted attacks.

Stealth aircraft J-35 and J-20S enter service

The naval aviation force has unveiled new aircraft models, marking an important development. The J-35 stealth fighter is considered very suitable for integration into aircraft carrier operations.

A two-seat J-20S version is also expected, with superior combat coordination capabilities with drones.

Directed Energy Weapons: Lasers and Microwaves Against UAVs

The parade will also showcase high-tech laser and microwave weapons, capable of neutralizing a wide range of small, slow, low-flying UAV targets. These weapons do not require firing bullets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing operational costs, and have entered the stage of practical application.

All the weapons on display were developed and produced by China itself, reflecting a high level of automation and informationization, according to China Daily. The 70-minute event was an opportunity for the country to showcase its progress in adapting technology and modern warfare.
