Stealth tech on view in Beijing parade

Stealth technology was applied to the wheels of missile transporters used in the Sept 3 parade in Beijing marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.

This was disclosed by the nation's largest missile manufacturer, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, in an article published this month on WeChat, the smartphone-based social media app.

The company did not go into details about the technologies used, saying only that the move was requested by the People's Liberation Army. A picture published with the article shows some people wearing respirators working on shells that were later installed as a shield on the vehicles' wheels.
