Interesting shots, surely not taken over Beijing?? Looks like just after take-off somewhere.
Compared with LKJ86's post, which are quite high, but already (or still) in formation.

What are the chances that the DF-41 will be unveiled at this parade? I expected it to be unveiled two years ago at the Zhurihe Parade but we got the DF-31AG out of nowhere. Hopefully this time we get the DF-41.

Wow! Look how much bigger the DF-41 is than the DF-31. 18 launchers at 10 warheads apiece... that's a lot of hurt.

So, do you believe China only has about 250 nuclear warheads?

I think it's hilarious that anyone would think China has just 280 warheads. If it did that picture (18 DF-41s + 18 DF-31AGs) would be 84% of China's nuclear arsenal. This comically low under-count is spread by clowns like Hans Kristensen who want to reduce America's nuclear weapons stockpile - an agenda I wholeheartedly support, by the way. Nothing would make me happier than for the US to have 0 nuclear warheads.

Guess we should make Hans an honorary agent in the SFA. Put him in touch with Gordon Chang.

If I remember correctly, the 70th anniversary parade is likely to be the first parade for a plane with no clear image on the Internet to have its first debut.

Yes I know, and that alone will kill me ... or better to say, my impatience will kill me.

Therefore as a minor relief, will it be manned or an UAV (what I more likely expect)?

It's a variant of H-6. Though PLAAF didn't give publicity to all of the UAVs, We have clear images of most of them.

I bet it's the H-6N.

Oh well .. so the IFR-probe equipped one, maybe with the huge BAShM??

Just noticed this important part!
