At dawn in Beijing, the V-Day parade unfolded as more than a showcase of tanks and missiles—it was a live demonstration of a multi-domain combat system in action. On-the-ground correspondent Yang Xinmeng explained how this year’s lineup marks a leap in integrated warfare capabilities.
Next-generation armor rolled past the reviewing stand with stealth coatings and enhanced mobility. Behind them, unmanned aerial drones swarmed in synchronized formations, highlighting the growing role of AI-driven surveillance and strike platforms.
But the spectacle didn’t stop on land or in the skies. Specialized cyber teams monitored simulated network breaches in real time, while space-based assets were spotlighted to underscore the push for orbital reconnaissance and secure communications.
Most striking were the hypersonic strike forces—missile units capable of reaching speeds above Mach 5, reshaping global conversations on missile defense and deterrence. Analysts say this display signals China’s commitment to a truly joint operations model, where land, air, cyber, space, and hypersonic domains converge.
For tech enthusiasts and global citizens alike, the parade offers a front-row seat to emerging defense trends: from unmanned systems as force multipliers to cyber warriors redefining frontline tactics. It’s a reminder that modern warfare is evolving—and the show on Tiananmen Square is just the beginning of what tomorrow’s battlefields may look like.
