Apologies if this post should be in the PLA organization thread
Was this the same BDE that JANES and the official news just pushed out o the 145 Medium Combined Arms Brigade of the73rd Group?
The Janes article said there was about 54 ZBL09 vehicles and in the first image, that is 54x ZBL09 IFV.

Just speculating, that the images show either four companies of one Battalion of the CAB (not likely as one image distinctly shows 2nd Battalion markings, while others show 4th Battalion marking) or a select number from each of the Battalions in the CAB receiving the vehicles.
I guess I am asking is this just one BN worth of ZBL09 for the 145th MED CAB or representative set to show the BDE is out fitted with the ZBL09?

Sorry, ORBAT isn't my area of expertise. Other members who are far more knowledgable will chime in.

The GPZ111A minesweeper based on the Type-08 8x8 chassis. It clears mines by deploying line charges, minesweeping plows, and its microwave emitter. The emitter is the spider web looking thing, which can disable electronics in landmines or detonate the mines from a safe distance

Nice to see that the Chinese also have their own version of the mine sweeper. I wonder if the operator need to wear anti radiation suit. The Russian version needed the operator to wear one as the hull was not radiation proof

That sounds implausible to me. Does the Russian mine clearing vehicle have a metal hull and also employ microwave to set off mines?

That is what I thought too since the chassis is a metal hull. It was a video that I saw a few years back and it was something new at the time. The russian was using microwave to detonate IEDs and mines like the one above. I think it was something older than the Listva remote mine clearing vehicle
