BEIJING, Aug. 21 -- On September 3, 2025, China will hold a grand military parade at Tian'anmen Square in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. It aims to remember history, honor the martyrs, and cherish peace.

At the training ground in the suburbs of Beijing, the troop formations are undergoing hard training.

More than ten thousand troops, over a hundred aircraft, and hundreds of ground equipment have been deployed to the parade.

The parade will last for 70 minutes. A total of 45 troop formations and echelons, including airborne flag-guarding echelons, foot formations, battle flag formations, armament columns, and aerial echelons, will be involved.

This is a collective display of the new-generation weapons and equipment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) since the National Day military parade in 2019.

All weapons and equipment to participate in the parade are domestically produced main battle equipment currently in service. Some land-, sea-, and air-based strategic heavyweights, hypersonic precision-strike weapons, unmanned and counter-unmanned equipment, among others, will make their debut.
