Rehearsal flight over Beijing.

I know it might be a bit of a long shot to ask based on just a few pixels, but can we confirm whether the last 7-planes echelon consists of J-10S or if it's the August 1st Performance Team? If it's the 81 Team, then does a 5-planes J-10S echelon actually exist?

I've been searching for information on these last few echelons to complete my diagram, but I haven't found any conclusive evidence yet. If you have any information, images, or videos of these echelons, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

It looks like that bayonets in this photo were taped onto the rifles. Have we seen the 191 rifles with bayonets mounted properly?

No exoskeleton showcase in the parade? That'd be some flexing

PLA is only experimenting with commercial exoskeletons in its logistics units, and has not yet standardized them.

I think, even with an optimistic estimate, it will take until 2029 parade for the simplified exoskeleton to be incorporated into the next gen infantry system.
