As China commemorates its annual Victory Day, state broadcaster CGTN offers an exclusive look at what analysts call "the silent evolution" of modern warfare capabilities. Correspondent Yang Xinmeng's latest report highlights the parade's emphasis on "new-domain forces" – integrated combat systems operating in cyber, electromagnetic, and hypersonic realms.
The electronic countermeasure formation emerged as a focal point, demonstrating technology capable of disrupting radar systems, GPS signals, and communication networks. Unlike traditional military displays featuring tanks and missiles, these invisible capabilities represent a strategic shift toward dominating the electromagnetic spectrum – often described as the fifth battlefield domain.
Military observers note the parade underscores China's focus on developing multi-domain operational systems. Hypersonic glide vehicles spotted in the procession reportedly travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5, while cyber warfare units displayed advanced network defense mechanisms. The integration of these technologies into full combat systems suggests new approaches to modern conflict resolution.
