預演活動現(xiàn)場

Military fans in China and around the world should set their alarm clocks to ring before 10 am on Thursday Beijing time as they will be presented with a rare display of the People's Liberation Army's top weapons, observers suggested.
抗戰(zhàn)勝利閱兵式即將于北京時間9月3號10點舉行，此次閱兵式將不同以往地展示人民解放軍的先進武器。觀察人士建議中國及全世界的軍事愛好者們提前設(shè)好鬧鐘以免錯過。

Chinawill stage a grand parade on Thursday in Tian'anmen Square to mark the 70th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-45) and the end of World War II.
為紀念中國人民抗日戰(zhàn)爭(1937-45)勝利暨二戰(zhàn)結(jié)束70周年，中國今天將在天安門廣場上舉行盛大的閱兵儀式。

More than 12,000 military personnel as well as veterans and their descendants will participate in the event. Seventeen foreign military teams will also take part.
超過12000名軍人、老兵及其子嗣將參與這一盛事。還有17個外國軍隊將參加閱兵。

This will be China's 15th military parade since the founding of New China in 1949.
這也是自1949年新中國成立以來的第15次軍事閱兵。

More than 500 pieces of the PLA's latest ground and naval equipment as well as nearly 200 advanced aircraft will be displayed, 84 percent of which have never been viewed by the public, according to the PLA Parade Joint Command.
500多件人民解放軍最新研發(fā)的地面及海上裝備和近200架先進飛機將參閱。據(jù)人民解放軍閱兵聯(lián)合指揮部介紹，其中84%的受閱裝備是首次公開亮相。

What will be one of the biggest attractions during the parade are new-generation strategic missiles from the PLA second artillery corps, said Gao Zhuo, a military observer in Shanghai.
上海的軍事評論員高卓稱，此次閱兵式最大的看點之一就是人民解放軍第二炮兵部隊研發(fā)的新一代戰(zhàn)略導彈。

"The corps will display seven types of missiles during the event, more than any previous parades. The world's only anti-ship ballistic missiles such as the DF-21's latest variant are likely to appear in the parade," he said. "They will be our most effective weapons in anti-carrier operations."
他說：“閱兵式上二炮部隊將展示七種型號的導彈，比以往任何閱兵式都多。世界上唯一的反艦彈道導彈東風-21的最新型號也有可能出現(xiàn)在閱兵式中，這將是我國反航母作戰(zhàn)中威力最大的武器。”

He also noted the DF-26, an intermediate-range ballistic missile that will be made public on Thursday, fills the vacancy of an intermediate-range projection platform in the PLA's missile arsenal.
他還指出，中程彈道導彈東風-26也將于3日公開亮相。東風-26的出現(xiàn)填補了人民解放軍導彈儲備里中程導彈的空缺。

According to an article on the Popular Science website, the DF-26 fills a gap between the smaller DF-21 medium-range ballistic missile and the DF-31 and DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missile. The article said the weapon was solid-fueled and transported on a 12-wheel transporter-erector-launcher vehicle for quick off-road launches.
美國大眾科學網(wǎng)的一篇文章稱，東風-26填補了小型的東風-21中程彈道導彈與東風-31、東風-41洲際彈道導彈之間的射程空白。文章還提到東風-26采用固體燃料，通過12輪運送-起豎-發(fā)射車運載，以便實施快速越野發(fā)射。

In addition to strategic missiles, another weapon that will be worth paying attention to in the parade is the YJ-12 heavy-duty, supersonic anti-ship missile, said Qin Zhen, executive editor of Ordnance Knowledge magazine.
《兵器知識》執(zhí)行主編秦蓁說，除了戰(zhàn)略導彈，閱兵式中值得關(guān)注的武器還有重型超音速反艦導彈鷹擊-12。

With its ultrafast speed and long striking range, the weapon is capable of penetrating a carrier battle group's air defense network and can use sea-skimming maneuvers to avoid interception when approaching the target, according to Qin.
秦蓁表示，鷹擊-12速度極快，打擊距離遠，能迅速穿過航母戰(zhàn)斗群的防空網(wǎng)，在靠近目標時還能掠海飛行避免遭到攔截。

"If a 100,000-metric ton aircraft carrier is hit by two YJ-12s, the ship will lose combat capability because no aircraft will be able to take off from the deck," Qin said.
他還說：“一艘10萬噸級的航空母艦只要被兩枚鷹擊-12擊中就會失去戰(zhàn)斗能力，因為甲板上所有的飛機都將無法起飛?！?/span>

Fu Qianshao, an aviation equipment expert with the PLA air force, suggested spectators can enjoy the world's longest colored vapor trails set to be made by J-10 fighter jets from the PLA August 1st Air Demonstration Team as the formations fly over Tian'anmen Square.
人民解放軍空軍航空裝備專家傅前哨說，當人民解放軍八一飛行表演隊的殲-10戰(zhàn)斗機編隊拉著彩色煙霧飛越天安門廣場時，觀眾將可觀賞到世界上最長的彩煙。

"The trails will stretch for as long as 9.1 km, covering the main section of Chang'an Avenue from China World Towers in the east to Fuxingmen Bridge in the west," he said.
他說：“彩煙長達9.1公里，將覆蓋長安街的主要區(qū)域，從東邊的國貿(mào)大廈到西邊的復興門立交橋?！?/span>

預演活動現(xiàn)場的飛機組成“70”字樣

At the end of the parade, aviation fans can expect to see the world's largest group of helicopters that has ever been shown in a parade, he said.
他補充道，在閱兵式接近尾聲時，空軍迷還可以期待見到世界閱兵史上規(guī)模最大的直升機群。
