China 2025 Victory Day Parade (preparations, new equipment)

Whats the smaller squashed dome antenna on the IFV and the MBT? Appears to be the same component on both but in different places and seemingly poorly placed to be gps/beidou.

It's on the TELs as well - kind of blue force tracker?

Well, at this parade, in addition to the new equipment that was impressive, some musical pieces were also quite memorable. Following the 'Iron Flood March'（钢铁洪流进行曲） in 2019, this new piece is called the 'Unmanned Intelligence Victory March.' （无人智胜进行曲）This piece describes unmanned equipment.

Is it this one? I still like March of Steel Torrent more but it is still pretty good.

I am more impressed by the contingents of troops .... all of them are of the same height, similar facial features, and I don't think anyone of them wore spectacles ..... it is something if you can mass produce hardware and equipment to the same specifications, but it is something else when everyone looks so "uniform" .... and that is scary .....

1) it's easy to find many people that have the same height when you have ~4x the population of the US.
2) there's a trick that the military does, putting everyone in a height line so that the people standing next to them are very close to the same height. +-0.5"/1cm, and the tallest closest to the audience if you're set up to only see one side.
3) Contacts are a thing, and so are various eye surgeries to correct eyesight. I remember back in the day, the USSR had a whole assembly line for radial keratotomy, I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese military didn't have such a setup.

If you are a Westerner, you may find that their facial features appear similar, which is a normal perception, just as we Easterners see similarities among Westerners' facial structures.

I know there are significant differences between the major ethnic groups in China, the classical Japanese, Koreans, Mongolians, etc. I personally find ethnic Koreans the most visually attractive. But I absolutely struggle to try to describe the differences between them!

Additionally, due to the uniform clothing, it can indeed be difficult to discern their differences from a distance; however, upon closer inspection, their appearances, in our view, are distinctly different.

If it wasn't for the starkly different skin tones in the US, US military formations would be about as visually uniform as these Chinese formations.
