But also not wearing body armour doesnt meant soldiers dont make sport (training). Like they do pushups. More important is to wear communication equipment , play a real war scenario and improve mobility and get used whit equipment.

I agree with most of your post however as far as training is concern it is imperative to issue body armor to the troops who would usually wear them in real life scenerios.

I'm not equating it to this particular picture (because one picture is meaningless and no context) however generally speaking you want your training to be replicate actual conditions and that includes putting on heavy and or cumbersome gear that you would usually use in combat.

As a general rule, if you train with 25 ibs of gear but in real life you have to carry 100 ibs, you basically just killed yourself.
That's my point, too.

Hi Guys,
I was watching the youube video and I was wondering what the vehicle is that at 0:17 mark. It looks like an IFV chassis, but the turret look like an anti tank gun or an artillery.
Could be a 120mm mobile mortar (how do you call it?).

Looks like the same turret from the PLL-05 self-propelled mortar.

Do you know if that is a custom chassis or modified from any of the IFVs? It doesn't exactly match either the ZBD-05, ZBD-97, or Type 89 chassis.

I think it uses a common utility chassis which is based on a stretched (6 vs 5 road wheels) Type 89 APC. There is a command post, armored recovery, and a armored resupply vehicle also based on the 6 wheeled Type 89 chassis.
