China's New Drone Wingmen Look Set For Military Parade Unveiling
2025-08-01
[TWZ] Satellite imagery of preparations for a major upcoming military parade in China shows that new ‘loyal wingman’ type drones, or at least mockups thereof, are set to be revealed. A video clip has now emerged that is also drawing new attention to Chinese crewed-uncrewed teaming developments.

Google Earth recently updated its library to include a satellite image taken on June 11, 2025, of a military base in Yangfang, a suburb northwest of the Chinese capital of Beijing. China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) regularly uses the facility to stage assets and train for large-scale parades. In June, Chinese authorities announced that a parade marking the 80th anniversary of the country’s victory over Japan in World War II would be held on Sept. 3, and that it would feature unspecified “new-type combat capabilities.” Nearly two weeks ago, video also emerged showing mysteriously unidentified vehicles concealed underneath large, box-like structures, prompting speculation that a new armored vehicle will also be unveiled at the event.
