I think this year’s show is a good indication of what lessons China is drawing from Ukraine, where it seems to be going heavily into drones, both airborne and land systems, both in quantity and quality.

That contrasts quite starkly with the direction that the majority of western MIC seems to be going, with super-duper tanks in (inevitably) ever smaller numbers.

To me, it’s quite clear who is drawing entirely the wrong lessons from Ukraine and who is moving in the right direction. But to be fair, the principle objective of western MIC is to maximise profits and not to actually win wars, since one of the baseline assumptions they are operating on is that victory is taken as a given.

Due to the war in Ukraine, urban warfare, UAV and loitering munition have become the focus of the world. For Chinese military enterprises, this is a good time to promote their UAV/loitering munition, anti UAV/wandering ammunition systems, unmanned vehicles and robots to potential foreign customers. These weapon systems have been developed by them for many years. I still remember that the official news introducing the air defense part of the security deployment of the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 mentioned they were focusing on "low altitude, small volume, slow speed" targets.

interesting on how they have a scenario of oil field and airport in this diagram. Looks like they are trying to sell to certain oil rich country that currently keeps getting attacked by cheap drones from terror groups.
