China to display seven types of missiles in V-Day parade

[Thunder Bolt]

BEIJING, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- China's strategic missile force, the Second Artillery Forces (SAC) will display seven types of missiles in the military parade on Sept. 3, Xinhua learned from military sources.

Organized into six armament formations, the weaponry includes long-range, intermediate-range, and short-range missiles as well as conventional and nuclear missiles, said the source.

The source did not reveal the specific types of missiles, but said "the scale and number of the missiles will surpass any previous outing."

"Our missile weaponry has seen great advances, in terms of firing range, strike methods, accuracy and mobility," said the source.

A senior military official said Friday that 84 percent of armaments to be displayed in the military parade have never been viewed by the public before.

The SAC made its first public appearance on Oct. 1, 1984, when the new China celebrated the 35th anniversary of its founding. After that, it has been a popular section of every military parade.

During the National Day parade in 2009, China showcased five types of missiles, including DF31A, a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile.

Holy crap, that means we only know about 16% of weapons. I can't wait for the parade!

Only 7 types?

Let me guess what they might be: DF-11B and DF-15C、CJ-20、DF-16、DF-26、DF-31B and DF-5A。

I guess the key word is " by public before". So there may be some that we've known already that were leaked by fans, but not officially exposed.

I suppose the formations will have to go through drills a couple of times before the big day。

The type99A2 MBT ... looks very awesome, but there still no new designed light tank ?

A lot of airborne units are shown. PLA are very keen to build up a credible rapid strike unit that can strike deep of enemy beyond mainland China.
