China will show a variety of new weapons during a vast military parade on Wednesday, in a sample of force that is considered a challenge for US military dominance.
Military experts have been analyzing photos and images of the social networks of several recent essays, which have shown anti -burst missiles, avant -garde submarine drones, antimile systems and more technology that could go through the Tiananmen square of Beijing on September 3.
While officials have kept the hardware list that will be exhibited in front of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and other world leaders of Russian, many military enthusiasts have already seen new significant systems, including what is rumored that is a gigantic laser weapon.
The army has said that the entire team presented is produced nationally and “active duty.”
‘Eagles’ to counteract the ships
Four new anti-man-several missiles have been seen: the YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19 and YJ-20. “Yj” is short for “Ying Ji”, which means “Águila attack” in Chinese.
These missiles can be launched from ships or airplanes and are designed to inflict critical damage on large ships. The YJ-17, YJ-19 and YJ-20 models could be hypersonic, which means that the speed of sound can fly at least five times.
“China must develop powerful anti -manager and anti -aircraft capabilities to prevent the United States from representing a serious threat to China National Security,” said Song Zhongping, military commentator and former instructor of the Chinese army. AFPreferring to tensions in the Strait of Taiwan and the South China Sea.
Submarine drones
Two new underwater vehicles unmanned in the form of extra large torpedo have been seen during the tests.
The first, labeled as “AJX002”, measures 18 to 20 meters (59-66 feet) long, according to the Naval News website. The second was hidden under a canvas.
While China is still behind the United States in the naval power of the surface, according to Naval NewsIt has the largest program in the world of “non -large and large underwater vehicles” (Xluuvs), with at least five types that are already in the water.
Antimisile shield
Still wrapped in mystery, the HQ-29 is described by some Chinese analysts as a “satellite hunter” capable of intercepting missiles at an altitude of 500 kilometers (310 miles), outside the atmosphere of the earth, as well as satellites in low orbit.
Mounted in a vehicle with wheels, the system has two missile containers, each of approximately 1.5 meters in diameter.
Its capabilities could make it the most advanced interception system in China to date and one of the most powerful in the world.
The ‘most powerful’ laser in the world?
A huge rectangular vehicle in camouflage colors covered with a canvas could be a defense system capable of knocking down missiles and drones using a powerful laser, according to the Daily of South China Morning Daily.
The X “Zhao Dashuai” account, which is linked to the Chinese army, states that it is the “most powerful laser defense system in the world.”
New nuclear weapons?
Intercontinental ballistic missiles, capable of transporting nuclear eyelaces, maximum symbols of power, appear prominently in the parade, are expected to transport.
“China will exhibit a new generation of nuclear weapons,” said the song by analyst Zhongping AFP.
Nuclear weapons, like the other hardware that will be shown during the parade, “will help match the balance of military power between China and the United States,” he said.
New armored vehicles
Next generation vehicles have been seen in recent days, especially a new tank, a little smaller than the main battle tank type 99a, according to service reports since 2011.
If this and the other team that is shown on September 3 is produced at the national level and in service, as China states, then the Armed Forces “have undergone a significant update against other great advanced military worldwide,” said James Char, a professor specialized in the Chinese army at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
“However, we cannot evaluate the real capacities of all weapons and equipment under this ceremonial (and non -operational) environment,” he added.
