On September 3rd, the grand military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War was held solemnly at Tiananmen Square in the capital. Let's take a look at the heroic posture of the new type of equipment ↓

Ground Assault Formation

Among the equipment formations reviewed, the first to pass through Tiananmen Square was Ground Assault Formation , unlike the rectangular formations used by other formations, the Ground Assault Formation adopts an "arrow" formation, which looks like a sharp sword shooting forward. This "arrow" formation is composed of the 99B tank, the 100 tank, and the 100 support vehicle . What changes does the transition from the "99" era to the "100" era signify? Ding Hui, the driver of the lead vehicle in the Ground Assault Formation, will explain.

Host: Lao Chunyan: Previously, the tank formation took the lead, but now it is the Ground Assault Formation. The name has changed; what are the differences in characteristics of this formation?

Ground Assault Formation, Ding Hui: In the past, the tank formation had only one type of vehicle. This year's Ground Assault Formation is a mixed formation composed of three types of vehicles. www.shhzy3.cN/www.shyb118.com/www.shsaic.Net/ It reflects a shift from a single specialty and single military branch to a more integrated composition. The Ground Assault Formation consists of 99B tanks, 100 tanks, and 100 support vehicles.

This equipment upgrade emphasizes "seeing the vehicle but not the soldier." Previously, the 99A tank had a high-angle machine gun operator, but in the 99B tank, the operator moved inside the turret for unmanned operation, adding an unmanned weapon station. Additionally, this year the 99B upgraded its firepower arm, allowing it to shoot farther, with higher accuracy and greater reliability.

The 100 tank and 100 support vehicle showcased this time are upgraded based on the 99B, with grid armor and main defense systems enhanced to more specifically target and protect against "low, slow, and small" targets.

Host: Lao Chunyan: If drones attack, what protective measures do the 100 tank and 100 support vehicle have?

Ground Assault Formation, Ding Hui: For example, if a "low, slow, and small" drone target appears overhead, the 100 tank and 100 support vehicle will instantly identify the target and destroy or shoot it down. The 100 support vehicle has an unmanned operator to operate drones. /www.shhZY3.cN/WWW.shsaic.net, this is a significant advancement. During ground assault and breakthrough operations, drones can be deployed to scout the battlefield environment. The reconnaissance situation is transmitted back to the 100 support vehicle for identification and task distribution.

Host: Lao Chunyan: In actual combat, how do the 99B, 100 tank, and 100 support vehicle conduct joint and cooperative operations?

Ground Assault Formation, Ding Hui: In fact, they form a combat group delivering a "combined punch." Specifically, the 100 tank and 99B open the gate with a strike, then the 100 support vehicle rushes in, firing first, detecting the enemy first, and achieving the first hit. Another feature is that the drivers and crew of the 100 tank and 100 support vehicle all wear smart helmets , just like our fighter pilots, all operational and combat data can be displayed in the smart helmets. This is the era of technology; advanced equipment brings us combat power, acting as a force multiplier.

Land Unmanned Combat Formation

It can be used in unmanned equipment formations or in coordination with manned equipment, forming independent unmanned operations or mixed manned-unmanned operation modes, greatly reducing casualties among frontline mine-clearing personnel.

The squad support unmanned vehicle can form a squad combat unit with our squads, performing ammunition supply, material support, and other accompanying support tasks. When necessary, it can also perform casualty evacuation tasks. It has autonomous following capabilities for personnel and vehicle maneuvering, effectively providing frontline combat squads with an unmanned supply vehicle, thereby enhancing sustained combat capability.

Host: Lao Chunyan: The squad support unmanned vehicle is also specially equipped with drones and mechanical wolves. What are their application scenarios?

Land Unmanned Combat Formation, Du Jian: www.shyb118.com This drone has long-duration continuous reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities over mission areas, mainly used for patrol reconnaissance, locating suspicious personnel, and broadcasting messages, greatly enriching the patrol and duty methods of the patrol units. These two mechanical wolves can adapt to various combat environments and provide support in reconnaissance, strike, and support for our military operations. They can flexibly switch between sprinting, lying still, and other modes to meet different combat needs.

Anti-Drone Equipment Formation

Host: Lao Chunyan: This year's parade also includes an anti-drone equipment formation within the air defense and missile defense group. The equipment comes in various shapes, giving a sci-fi movie-like impression. What role does the anti-drone formation play in the air defense and missile defense group?

Anti-Drone Formation, Zhao Ren: With the widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles, new challenges have arisen for joint operations and air defense missile defense. In future air defense missile defense operations, air defense missiles will focus on high-altitude, high-speed, and high-threat targets.
