For a long shot from a high caliber round the bullet will often impact the target before the sound of the shot does at extended ranges this means that raven though the 12.7x108mm rifle barks like a tank by the time the target knows what hit him it’s over and the snipers are on the move.
However Crossbows are cheap, easily sourced and fairly quiet. but with a short range.
Although Suppressors are getting better the type you find on a rifle based around a Assault rifle caliber are not the quietest things in the world. In order to get decent amounts of sound reduction you need a sub sonic round. And Subsonic means close range.
In the west today new classes of specialized calibers have emerged optimized for sub sonic and suppressed super sonic like .300BLK these offer low noise but increased range and effectiveness vs a pistol caliber. However for a long time the only real option for being as quiet as possible for attack was a 9mm Smg the MP5SD and before that a .45APC or even quieter a .22 Lr. Rifle with suppressor. Small low velocity rounds are easy to suppress and very quiet. This is why from world war 2 till the end of the Cold War when quiet was the want it was a Pistol caliber. But at the cost of range and penetration.
In the east the Russians have lots of answers the 9x39mm subsonic. A highly specialized ammunition and weapons family’s are built around this system that emerged at the end of the Cold War or the comparatively cheaper option. The SV99 .22LR Rifle.
The Chinese however didn’t adopt the specialized Russian round. And they don’t seem to have taken a likening to .22LR. They liked the Crossbow. It offered the same range as the pistol caliber suppressed but the mechanism is quieter.
I don't think these guys have inserted the ceramic plates during their training. The vests look curvy and wrinkled instead of flat and filled-up.Sino-Singapore joint exercise... Not the FAST-style helmet, headsets, and tactical vests.

What they really need PR wise is less of this crazy jump cuts and more of RT Raw style simple unedited, uncommentated footage.

Well depends. These are recruitment videos intended to draw in recruits, they are not meant to used to impress western fanboys like RT is trying to do.
If the PAP’s market research shows jumpcuts are the way to go to maximise the interest and recruitment effect of their target demographic, then that’s what they should use.

These aren’t PAP so there probably wasn’t any market research involved, and it was simply contracted out by the provincial PD to the lowest bidder. Not a big deal either way, but if something is already impressive, which this is, let the footage speak for itself, there’s no need to overdo it.
