Persist in seeking combat effectiveness through technological innovation

2025-09-04   

This military parade is a brand new appearance of the People's Liberation Army's century long development. All the weapons and equipment reviewed are domestically produced active combat equipment, and a large proportion of new equipment has made its debut. It includes strategic strike forces, advanced combat and tactical equipment, as well as new quality forces that match the future forms of warfare. It fully reflects our military's ability to adapt to technological development and the evolution of war forms, and demonstrates the systematic combat capability, new domain and new quality combat capability, and strategic deterrence strength to win future wars. It demonstrates the strong strength of the People's Liberation Army to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, and maintain world peace. Taking stock of the weapons and equipment of this military parade, from tanks, carrier based aircraft, fighter jets to a series of unmanned intelligent and anti unmanned equipment on land, at sea, and in the air, as well as new forces such as cyber warfare, the word "new" runs through it, covering various types of forces such as command and control, reconnaissance and early warning, air defense and anti missile, firepower strike, and comprehensive support, demonstrating China's innovative capabilities and tremendous achievements in the field of national defense science and technology. Persisting in seeking combat effectiveness through technological innovation is not only a trend, but also an inevitable choice for a strong military to win battles. At present, a new round of technological revolution and military revolution is advancing rapidly, and the strategic high-tech group is emerging. We must seize the opportunity, seize the momentum, seize the strategic high ground of future military competition, and cultivate new growth points for combat effectiveness. We must place national defense technology innovation in a more prominent position, enhance our scientific and technological awareness, innovation, and application capabilities, closely follow the process of building a strong country through science and technology, deeply implement the strategy of strengthening the military through science and technology, promote the efficient integration and two-way driving of new quality productive forces and new quality combat capabilities, inject strong impetus into national defense and military construction, and significantly improve the contribution rate of scientific and technological innovation to the growth of our military's new quality combat capabilities. Technological self-reliance and self-improvement are the key to winning against changes in technology, war, and opponents. The true core technology cannot be bought with money, relying on imported weapons and equipment is unreliable, and taking the path of importing and imitating is not far. The weapons and equipment reviewed this time have a relatively high level of informatization and intelligence, and the signals transmitted are also very clear. Whatever the battlefield needs, independent innovation points to it. 100% domestically produced equipment is the answer to "technological self-improvement", the debut of the J-35 is the answer to "shipborne stealth" in future wars, and new types of unmanned aerial vehicles, directional energy weapons, electronic jamming systems, etc. are the answers to "new domains and new qualities". The cluster display of unmanned aerial vehicle units demonstrates our military's technological leadership in the field of intelligent warfare. We must adhere to the strategic basis of independent innovation, strengthen forward-looking planning and design, basic research, and original innovation, accelerate the tackling of key core technologies, and accelerate the development of strategic, cutting-edge, and disruptive technologies. Only by adhering to high-level technological self-reliance and independent innovation can unique military technological advantages be formed, ensuring the initiative in military development and the right to win future wars. In this military parade, the equipment team was organized according to practical combat, including land combat group, sea combat group, air defense and anti missile group, information combat group, unmanned combat group, rear equipment support group, and strategic strike group, demonstrating the combat capability of our military system and highlighting the upgrading of weapons and equipment from the inside out. The air echelon is organized in a modular and systematic manner, covering the early warning command aircraft, fighter aircraft, bombers, transport aircraft, and other active main combat aircraft types of our army. It has higher strike accuracy, stronger battlefield adaptability, and greater combat effectiveness. Weapons and equipment are the materialization of human intelligence and abilities, but the dominant position of humans as decisive factors has not changed, and human factors directly affect the situation of war. With the increasing speed, variety, and technological content of our military's new equipment deployment, higher requirements are being put forward for human quality. Only by letting science and technology take the lead, enhancing the scientific and technological literacy of the vast number of officers and soldiers, and enabling them to quickly grasp the technical performance of advanced weapons and equipment and the ways and methods of combat application, can we continuously transform technological advantages into capability advantages and combat advantages, expand strategic deterrence space and war winning means. From the "Wanguo Brand" equipment of the founding ceremony of New China to today's uniformly new weapons and equipment; The path of independent technological innovation taken by the Chinese military, from catching up with the world's advanced level to achieving overtaking in some fields, has witnessed the rise and rejuvenation of a nation. On the journey of thousands of miles, the wind is strong, and we will shoulder the heavy responsibility with determination. It is necessary to deeply integrate into the national scientific and technological innovation system, coordinate basic research, applied research, early technology development, and comprehensive integration, and create a growth pole for new quality productivity and combat effectiveness. Focusing on integrated joint operations of various military branches under intelligent conditions, we attach great importance to human factors and accelerate the organic connection from theoretical breakthroughs to technological innovation applications. Give full play to the driving role of military needs, provide strategic support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through forward-looking hypersonic and precision strike weapons, widespread use of unmanned intelligent equipment in all areas, the weaponization of new generation digital and artificial intelligence, innovative use of cyberspace and electronic countermeasures, etc. (Xinhua News Agency) Author: Ma Jianguang, Gao Yuequn (Unit: National University of Defense Technology)
