What new weapons on show say about Beijing’s military strength

In the event, Xi Jinping hosted more than 20 foreign states, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who both rely on China for economic support and more, and Kim Jong Un from North Korea.
It was an exhibition of Xi’s growing power on the world stage and China’s military mastery – the show includes the “Guam Killer” missile, “Sadik Kanatci” drone, and even robotic wolves.
What have we learned beyond swallowing and bright new weapons?
Here are five packages.
1. China has a lot of weapons. How well can he distribute them?
Open from the show on Wednesday, China was able to produce various weapons.
Michael Raska, Assistant of the Singapore Nanyang University University of Technology, tends to become “basic copies” of much more advanced equipment invented by the United States ten years ago.
However, this passage ceremony revealed a more innovative and various range of weapons, especially drones and missiles – a reflection of how advanced the industrial complexes have become.
China’s top -down structure and important sources allow it to produce new weapons faster than many other countries.
It can also produce them in large amounts, which gives him the advantage of a war area where he can crush the enemy.
Neill, “China, ammunition, ships, all these platforms capable of shaking … The state can only do these directives and go.”
But how well China’s army can integrate these weapons systems?
“They can show these flashy advanced platforms, but is it organizational agile to use them as they wish?” Dr Raska asks.
He adds that it will not be easy because the Chinese army has not been involved in a significant war for decades, great and not tested.
2. China focuses on missiles to resist the USA
China has published plenty of missiles, including some new variants.
These are Dongfeng-61, which can carry multiple war heads in Noselon; Dongfeng-5C intercontinental ballistic missile, which can be released from Northern China and hit the USA; And the “Guam Killer” Dongfeng-26D mid-range missile, which can hit US military bases in Guam.

There were also several anti-hypersonic missiles, such as YJ-17 and YJ-19, which could fly very fast and inevitably maneuver to avoid missile anti-body systems.
There is a reason to focus on these missiles.
As an important part of the deterrence strategy, China develops missiles and rocket forces and resists the US superiority of the United States.
The US navy is unrivaled in the world with its fleet of the largest aircraft carrier and carrier strike groups – China is still behind this number.
However, Mr. Neill is more and more advocating that some of the Western defense community are vulnerable because these strike groups are effectively “sitting ducks” for any missile attacks.
Beijing not only strengthens deterrence, but also creates a “second strike ability”, says – a country’s ability to start a retaliation strike if it is attacked.
Ly-1 laser weapon, a giant laser, a giant laser that can burn or disable electronics and even blind pilots, among other remarkable weapons; and the fifth generation secret fighter aircraft, including the J-20 and J-35 aircraft.
3. China goes to the end with artificial intelligence and drones
Some were artificial intelligence, but there were a wide variety of drones that captured eye spheres, the AJX-002 giant submarine dron.
It can probably perform surveillance and discovery tasks, also known as an extra large underwater vehicle (XLUUV) measured up to 20m (65FT).

China also showed the GJ-11 secret attack drone, called the “Sadık Kanatçı”, who could fly and assist in attacks next to a manned fighter aircraft.
In addition to a series of traditional air drones, there were “robotic wolves”. Experts say they can be used for various tasks, from discovery and sweeping mines to hunting enemy troops.
The drone display shows a clear direction that he wants to get with China’s military strategy, where “he wants to replace traditional structures, not just to increase, but also to replace traditional structures.”
Dr. Raska clearly took lessons from the Ukrainian War, where “drones can throw drones to the enemy to wear out their defenses.
“Alacrity in the killing chain,” Mr. Neill adds that in a fast-moving war, “Nanosaniye” should be taken in order to beat the enemy and win the upper hand.
Many countries are still worried about distributing AI to military systems and asking “how comfortable we’re when we put it in a chain of killing.”
But China is very comfortable with it, Dr Raska says. “They believe they can control AI. They go to the end to integrate into their systems.”

4. It may have Chinese technology, but the US still has an advantage
The parade clearly shows that China has grown rapidly with the US in military technology and has resources to create a large weapon arsenal.
However, the US says it still provides an advantage in terms of operations.
The US army is “perfect” because there is a “culture from below” where units on the ground can make decisions as the situation develops and changes their war strategies. This makes them more agile in a war.

On the other hand, China, “flashy platforms and systems” from top to bottom “, but they will not move from the top to the finger will not move,” he adds.
“The Chinese, think of the deterrent technology. They believe that the US will deterrence … However, when a Chinese war hits one of the Filipin coast Guard, Dr Raska pointed out last month,” there are situations showing that they may not be as good as they said. “
The 5th pass ceremony was a weapon sales field – and the chance to show a united façade to the USA
He says that the passage ceremony of more than two dozen countries invited to the event and the passage ceremony of weapons and tanks is essentially a giant sales field for potential buyers in Chinese weapons.
It is known that some countries such as Myanmar have already purchased large amounts of Chinese weapons. However, DR RASKA is how the chance of selling to new customers or increasing orders can globally expand the influence of the Chinese government.

Lock customers include Xi – Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.
The three of them walked to the parade ceremony together and presented a united façade and stood on the stage.
This was a message to the United States, Mr. Neill says: If America really wants to challenge them, “fighting with several potential theaters at the same time – the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan Straits and Ukraine” means.
“And if you think about it, put pressure on the United States in all three areas, it may fail in one of these theaters.”
