Could you provide a link to the original post?

We've been anticipating the land-attack YJ-18 but haven't seen it in the rehearsals yet.

Yes complain that China is not transparent and when they are transparent, complain China is expressing aggression. As usual it's just an excuse to complain no matter what. What they want is a China that can't do anything to defend itself from their aggression. They won't admit the truth because then no one would ever listen.

Thanks, much of that makes sense.

Of particular interest which we have observed and/or speculated:

No. 10 -- land attack YJ-18 variant. We know YJ-18 is going to make an appearance at the parade but we have yet to know if the long awaited land attack variant will be present. Of the YJ-18 models we've seen on rehearsal, they were covered in tarps but they appear consistent with the standard anti ship variant. Is it possible that they only showed the anti ship YJ-18 variant but was announcing that the standard anti ship YJ-18 had a land attack capability (as opposed to the dedicated YJ-18 land attack variant)?

No. 21 -- you wrote about CH-5 there being present in the form of GJ-2. However, for about a year now we've seen the Wing Loong II in service as GJ-2. It would be a surprise if CH-5 was in service as GJ-2. Is it possible you've mixed up Wing Loong II and CH-5?

I saw them at the scene of the 3rd rehearsal and the caster clearly said 鹰击18与鹰击18甲型 and 对地攻击能力, which means "YJ-18 and YJ-18A" and "capable for land attack", in the loudspeaker.

Can't provide any more evidence except a photo of my note. Since all recording and filming devices were strictly prohibited, the only thing I can rely on was my handwritten notes taken at that night.

wait, why i can't upload photo now…
