World SuperPowers Flex Muscles in Massive Parades to Show Their Military Might
When it comes to military power, who is the best – China, Russia, United States or the NATO forces? The various countries across the globe have shown off their military might in massive parades and it’s like watching a dance-off battle – but with weapons of mass destruction!
First off, China has showcased its military power on the 90th Anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army wherein a total of 12,000 troops, 129 jets, 570 vehicles and the country’s largest J-20 stealth fighter were featured. President Xi Jinping was present during the event.
