MISSILES: China revealed nuclear-capable missiles that can be launched from sea, land and air together, the first time it has shown off its “triad” of nuclear-ready capabilities.

FIGHTER JETS: Fighter jet echelons consisting of the J-16D, J-20, J-35A, J-20S and J-20A were reviewed at the parade. KJ-600 and J-15T carrier-based aircraft were also reviewed in a flight formation, marking the long-awaited debut of the KJ-600, China's carrier-borne fixed-wing early warning aircraft, the state media said. A military affairs expert told Global Times that the commissioning of the KJ-600 marks the completion of the “final piece of puzzle” for aircraft carrier group operations, significantly enhancing the offensive and defensive combat capabilities of China's carrier groups.

LASER WEAPONS: China has been developing laser weapons as a defence against drone attacks. The full range of its anti-drone systems on display at the parade included a missile gun, high-energy laser weapons and high-power microwave weapons.

It also featured unmanned helicopters designed to be launched from ships. The sea-based systems included submarines, surface vessels and a mine-laying system.
