I suffer from tinnitus and belief me it is no laughing matter, everytime I see those artillery men fire a howitzer without as much as ear plugs I get angry. If the PLA can’t so much as provide such rudimentary and cheap protection, it is disappointing.Tinnitus builds character it’s in the PLA field manual I’m pretty sure, along with arthritis and frostbite. But I’ve seen them with and without so idk probably depends on how “elite” the unit is l
Infantry Combat Equipment (non-firearm): Vests, Body Armor, NVGs, etc.

Most ear plugs are fluorescent yellow in colour and easy to spot.

That's most low end types. The easy to get and fairly useless types.
It’s better then nothing, I myself would use ear muffs over ear plugs anytime.
Eh can you not see that the first four pictures they all have ear muffles
they wear it under the helmet
why would they spend tens of thousands $ on frontline soldier equipment and somehow miss ear plugs?
judging by the cost of the soldier kits on those sent to fight in Xinjiang, it’s probably not even normal plugs but overdesigned types that can play music and maybe have Alexa built in
Simple, oversight. Big equipment like vests, helmets, optics, weapons are great PR. You have to get budgets approved with senior officers and politicians who frankly maybe detached and have little knowledge of the military respectively.
It does not cost anything. Anyone can buy them from 1p!

Which is the wrong type for combat.
What they would want is noise canceling. Those reduce the effeceffects of conclusive sound.
What army are you watching?
