Lol load it up on some huge trailer, like one of those OVERSIZE trucks that you find on the freeways in the US all the time.

Ummm... LEt's SEE

KJ-2000
WZ-10
Type 99A2 (Type 99G is OLD already LOL)
Type 96G
Some new 4x4 APCs

I CAN:T WAIT LOL!!!!

Is the parade confirmed? I haven't heard any news in regard of that

How often does the PLA have a parade on August 1st? They didn't do one this year, so do they have one only on certain anniversary years (during the olympics probably wouldn't be a good idea )?

Not very often. The PLA had its 80th anniversary last year. But no more goose stepping marching parade in Tianamen square however. Instead the parade was held inside a PLAN naval base---which is a message saying about the PLAN's growing importance. In Beijing, all they did was held a one month exhibit in some rented hall, which was great because you can see a lot of hardware like ZTZ-99 tanks in display, J-10 models and a 093 model sub in a water tank.

Not much of a parade or celebration this year, but naval vessels did show up in Shanghai where some celebration appeared to be held.

well it is the big 60th anniversary, not the big 59th anniversary, but i dont see how the WZ-2000 nor the KJ-2000 will be showcased...navy troops will replace those old era rifles with the T95 carbine as seen in pictures, also the PAP force seen carrying the T03? instead of the T81...

there's a big marching parade EVery 10 years because of the massive cost to mobilize troops.... last time was on the 50th anniversary of national day of 1999, and the next one is on 2009 !

Can't wait till October 1st 2009

Will proberly see the first crop of Harbin design weapons, all Chinese design and technology, the PLA has move past the stage of copying western powers and have developed, designed and produced weapons of never before seen designs and uses !

there will likely to be a parade. first of all it has major political implications. and there are also photo evidence of the impending 60th anniversary parade now. http://tuku.military.china.com/milit...25_1023618.htm

Harbin Engineering University has professors from all around the world including the USA. Some of the professors have been threatened by their own government and branded as traitors for selling trade secrets to China ! ...LoL

EDIT: Oops, I just found out a similar thread has already been created. So will a moderator please move this one to the older one. Thanks.

This time they would probably include:
New uniforms
JH-7A aircraft
Su-30 aircraft
J-10 aircraft
J-11B aircraft
FC-1 aircraft
KJ-2000 aircraft
DF-31A ballistic missile
Latest variants of Type96 and Type99 tanks.
Latest variants of J-8II aircraft

This time they probably would NOT include:
H-8 aircraft (rumored stealth bomber, we don't even know if the project exist)
JL-2 ballistic missile (probably still undergoing tests)
J-XX aircraft (next generation fighter, either not built yet or undergoing early tests)
Z-10 helicopter (prabably still under going tests)

What else might they include or not include?
