Parade Showcases Beijing's Growing Military Might With Never-before-seen Weapons
China showcased unprecedented military might at a grand parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Hypersonic missiles, nuclear-capable ICBMs like the DF-61, and the DF-5 with global strike capability were revealed for the first time. Six new surface-to-air missile systems were also on display. With leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un in attendance, the event highlighted not just China’s growing defence power but also its global diplomatic reach.
