Cyberspace Force Equipment at the 2025 Military Parade (Thomas He, Ying Yu Lin – The Jamestown Foundation)

The parade equipment of the Cyberspace Force indicates that the PLA has drawn lessons from the Russia–Ukraine war, seeking to avoid making the same communications mistakes on future battlefields. The reorganized Cyberspace Force has already demonstrated its battlefield communications capability during disaster relief operations in the Tibet earthquake, but it still requires training and validation in actual combat conditions. There is a clear discrepancy between official reports and the actual equipment of the Cyberspace Combat Formation, suggesting that the PLA is deliberately releasing misleading information.
