Drones, 'machine wolves', electromagnetic catapults... China's strong military injects' new' forces

2025-12-25   

Entering December, in the practical exercises conducted by multiple branches of the Chinese military, "new" forces such as drones, network information systems, and AI intelligent technology played an important role. This is a vivid portrayal of the development of new territories and new qualities of the Chinese military in 2025. From intelligent formations to national treasures, from grand military parades to daily exercises, this year the Chinese military's new domain and new quality combat forces continue to "upgrade", helping the people's army move towards the centenary goal of building the army. Looking back at this year's September 3rd military parade, a new breakthrough was achieved through the coordinated operation of personnel and personnel on land; New unmanned equipment has become a "surprise weapon" for maritime operations; The innovative future air combat style of unmanned aerial equipment... A formation composed of land, sea, and air unmanned combat equipment was publicly unveiled. In addition, the four strategic branches of the infantry unit itself represent the new domain and new quality forces, and together with the new combat force group in the equipment unit, demonstrate the achievements of the Chinese military in building new domain and new quality forces. Military expert Pan Xinmao believes that in the future, the battlefield will be based on system to system and algorithm to algorithm, achieving first enemy detection, first enemy decision-making, and first enemy strike. Behind the shock brought by intelligent equipment is the powerful military and technological strength of the Chinese military, providing an indestructible new quality support for maintaining peace. It is worth noting that more and more unmanned and intelligent equipment is appearing on the training grounds of the military. The development of the Chinese military's new domain and new quality forces is not limited to the level of "display", but is moving towards "practical and normal application", achieving a key leap from the "experimental field" of combat effectiveness to the "main production area". During the year, a video of a quadruped robot participating in military combat training received high attention both domestically and internationally. According to reports, in this manned unmanned collaborative attack and confrontation exercise, participating officers and soldiers integrated unmanned equipment such as drones and "machine wolves" to cooperate in completing combat operations such as early reconnaissance verification, key point precision clearance, and covering up impact and intrusion. The participating officers and soldiers expressed that making good use of unmanned equipment and achieving the organic combination of personnel and equipment is an important direction for the development of grassroots units at present. Pan Xinmao pointed out that the tactical movements using unmanned equipment and network technology in the training outline have been solidified into standard procedures. New quality forces are no longer just "external modules", but have become deeply integrated and indispensable standard nodes, achieving organic coupling and efficient linkage with traditional combat forces. While cultivating new growth points in combat effectiveness at present, the Chinese military also strives to win the "first mover" and explore the key ways to win the future. As the end of the year approaches, the official commissioning of the Fujian aircraft carrier marks China's entry into the "Three Carrier Era". It is worth noting that the development of the Fujian ship skipped the steam catapult stage, upgraded directly from ski jump takeoff to electromagnetic catapult, and successfully launched multiple types of carrier based aircraft such as the J-35. Currently, only a very small number of countries in the world are proficient in mastering this technology. In the eyes of the outside world, the use of electromagnetic catapults is the trend of the future. Military expert Zhang Junshe pointed out that China has fully mastered and maturely applied the complex aircraft takeoff system of electromagnetic catapult. Realizing such a "leapfrog" development is an exploration and breakthrough in the construction of new quality combat forces in the Chinese military. 'Breakthrough' is not limited to this. The Caihong-7 high-altitude, high-speed, and long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle recently made its successful maiden flight, announcing a major breakthrough in China's strategic stealth unmanned aerial vehicle research and development. Some argue that this means that China has become one of the few countries in the world that has mastered the relevant technology. In recent years, the innovative achievements of the Chinese military in areas such as aircraft carrier catapult technology, unmanned intelligent combat, hypersonic strikes, and air space grid power generation are evident to all. Analysis has pointed out that in the current era of diverse forms and styles of warfare, daring to "take new paths" can lead to significant benefits brought by new means. From showcasing new equipment during military parades, to training in the use of new weapons, and to achieving new breakthroughs in development, the proportion of new domain and new quality combat forces is constantly increasing, helping China to create a new situation of national defense and military modernization. With the new era's opportunities, the new domain and new quality combat effectiveness have become important indicators of current military development, injecting "new" forces into China's strong and prosperous military.
