A video of unidentified vehicles covered in a box-shaped structure in China has surfaced, raising speculation about new military trucks.
“China to unveil mystery tank at September 3 military parade marking victory over militarist Japan — spotted using unusual camouflage,” a post accompanying the video of the vehicles by the Clash Report said.
The video is said to have originated on the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu before being taken down.
It is unclear when the video was recorded, but it appears recent, and many speculate that it is part of the large military parade scheduled for 3 September.
This year’s 3 September parade will mark the 80th anniversary of China’s victory in World War II.
Operation Bureau of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission deputy director-general, Wu Zeke said this year’s parade will feature both traditional combat forces and “new-type combat capabilities”.
In the past, similar events have seen the Chinese government showcase a large amount of unseen weapons and other hardware like new mockups of stealthy uncrewed combat air vehicles, examples of high-speed rocket-powered reconnaissance drones, new bombers capable of carrying outsized payloads, and much more.
