New Chinese Weapons Unveiled at Beijing Military Parade

What weapons were displayed at the Beijing parade?

🔴 OW5 laser system on the "Dongfeng Mengshi" armored vehicle

The OW5 system is designed to defend against mass attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially in urban environments or on the front lines, where traditional air defense systems may be less effective. It significantly increases the level of protection for strategically important objects and troops.

Laser beam power: 10 kW (OW5-A10), 30 kW (OW5-A30), 50 kW (OW5-A50).

Range of action: up to 3000 meters.

🔴 FK-3000 anti-aircraft missile and gun system

Armed with a 30 mm automatic cannon, designed to destroy small targets. It also has launchers for two types of missiles:

24 full-fledged missiles for destroying airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, and UAVs at greater altitudes and distances.

96 mini-missiles developed specifically to disrupt mass UAV attacks.

Range of action: from 300 meters to 12 kilometers, which makes it possible to effectively protect important objects from various air threats.

Additional features:

Electronic warfare system to neutralize remotely controlled UAVs.

Optical targeting and fire control system to increase the accuracy of target engagement.

Ability to connect up to two robotic FK-3000 platforms, each equipped with an optical sight and capable of carrying up to 24 mini-missiles.

🔴 Type 625 anti-aircraft missile and gun system

This is a modern self-propelled anti-aircraft system developed to defend against air threats such as UAVs, helicopters, gliders, and low-flying cruise missiles.

Armed with a 6-barreled 25 mm automatic cannon with a firing rate of up to 5800 rounds/minute for engaging small targets at close range.

With 4 FN-16 anti-aircraft guided missiles with a range of 6 km and an altitude of up to 5 km.

Multifunctional radar station with a phased array antenna, which provides target detection, tracking, and engagement in automatic mode.

Modern fire control system with the ability to exchange data with other air defense assets, which allows the system to be integrated into a unified network-centric air defense structure.

🔴 "Uragan-3000" microwave weapon against UAVs

A Chinese active protection system, also known as NPM3000, designed to neutralize UAVs using high-power microwave radiation. It is mounted on an HMV3 military truck with an 8×8 wheel configuration.

Range of action: up to 3000 meters, instantly disables the electronics of targets through overheating and short circuits.

It has an autonomous control system with the ability to integrate into network-centric air defense structures.
