China showcased its formidable DF-5C nuclear missile during a grand military parade in Beijing on Wednesday, September 3, marking the 80th anniversary of World War IIโ€™s end. The event was attended by President Xi Jinping, along with Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un. The DF-5C, a strategic intercontinental nuclear missile, reportedly has a warhead yield of 4 megatons, making it 200 times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, according to Sputnik. The missileโ€™s strike range is said to cover the entire planet, highlighting Chinaโ€™s growing strategic capabilities. Alongside the DF-5C, China displayed advanced air defence systems, including the HQ-19, HQ-12, and HQ-29, with the HQ-19 often compared to the US THAAD system. The parade also featured the PCH-191 modular MLRS, capable of firing ballistic missiles up to 500 km, and cutting-edge unmanned aerial systems demonstrating tactical reconnaissance and strategic strike potential.ย China Military Parade 2025: North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un Joins Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping at Parade in Beijing, 1st Such Gathering in 66 Years (Watch Videos).
