such as the higgens boat which performed very well in WW2. better than any "steel" boat. dont underestimate them, especially in large numbers.

the marines definitly need their own air wing, but as of now, china has few aircraft that can perform the close support role needed. its possible the a future version of the jh-7A(b?) will serve that role. or maybe chian will embark on its own joint strike fighter program.

red one...redcastle 123. no wonder why u got banned in the old forum

You guys know what kind of vehicle is being ejected here?

And anyone notice the newly fielded LCAC in the back?!

(It's been around for a long time), keep forgeting to ask though.
The assault boats have mortar?

Can't see them.....

As for the gun, just keep the old conventional rifle.......
There's no point.
You can't shoot back to the enemy anyway.

1.the vehcile is type 63 with float box device. it's common type 63 APC with one angled box on the front and another one on the rear, both boxes are empty which could keep the type 63 float on the surfaces, and it also has a motor and the back to propell it in the water.
2. not familiar with LCACs, rumour says PLAN bought some russian ones and see how things go, and we did have LCACs ourselves, but, i guess it's not a big part of the landing process. since military co operation with the russians had gone wild at the last a few years, they did consider some new processes in the old type. but, so far, nothing significtion about the marines yet.
3.must be my typo, motor, not mortar, sorry...... the boat used by the marine could be aluminum alloy too.

who is redone? are you guys referring me? i am not anyone from any old forum, my friend introduced me here, even though i knew this site a long time ago.

It seems that whenever the PLA has a military exercise, it's always massed armored columns, frequently supported by massed infantry. I can't stop wondering why they still do that, an enemy air strike or artillery could do a lot of damage...

really? i dont think so. they seem to use the ztz-200s, type 63 tanks, and alot of helicopters in the excercises. along with towed AAA. it really matters the mission of the excercise. especially in peace 05, they had flanker provide air cover.

i realized i have a 3views for this type 63, here it is.

to my upstairs.
that's because PLA is under the influence of soviet naval infantry. besides PLA won't be launch a full frontal attack at russian and american. to taiwan and japan, or even indonesia or some other tofu army nations, you think they could stop the tide of PLA? i don't think so. they'd better now pee in their pants when they see this, once in a life time, hahaha. the landing exercise is all about landing on taiwan, and as we know, taiwan has only a token force, what artillery? i can't see them.

Type 63s?! o.-"
.

Thoseslow flowing :spam: cans would be minced beef with their "armour".
Using them against even Taiwan could be a :nutkick: for the PLA Marines.

If that's the deal, I'd rather just use the motor boats.

What happen to the modified 89s and of course type 77s?
The type 77s are way more productive here. (Even if they use V-12 engines.)

taiwanese tanks are quite weak some are left over from WWII others are over 30 years old with weak fire power the T-63 might stand a chance if used properly but the main assult will probeyl be T-96 not that old junk

oh my god....i wouldn't even consider taiwan has an armoured force. there was a story written by a retired taiwanese soldier, who served as a tank driver in the army, you should see how they "do the military work". too bad you guys don't speak chinese.......

Dude, this thread is about the PLA Marines, not about ROCA tanks.
