Mountain Cat light amphibious ATV

A few Chinese articles on the Lynx ATV family. Just Google Translate the content



Had participated in PLA's UGV research

This is the first I've seen a towed trailer for the Mountain Cat.




Demonstrating fording capability. Nothing special or what we don't already know, but the image of it is rare, so I'm documenting it here.

Lol, there will be no electricity, no gas and all dark at night time. Command centers will be all knocked out. There won't be working phones. Who is going to report them and who to?

And shanmao is great in off road terrains. That's why they are shan mao, not just regular mao.

hahahaha

Just to be clear Shan Mao means 山猫 (Mountain Cat) !

Hmm, no electricity, internet, phones, 2 weeks of food going bad and possible water poisoning. An army and police force that has been targeted by drones for 2 weeks and every important infrastructure building have been destroyed by pch191. None of the taiwanese armored vehicles are even moving because they are out of fuel. Every taiwanese troop movement is getting watched from above by Chinese attack helicopters and drones.

I have traveled around Taiwan my friend drove me around quite a bit. Not advocating landing on east side but rather west coast around where they look to seize a beach front ahead of an actual invasion, so the shan mao don't need to be doing much driving. They can entirely land near intended area at night time and defeat defense ahead of a large amphibious operation.

Exactly, he is thinking like Singapore. A country without any industry and compare it with a Hyper Power like China !!

In war time, China can easily produce 10 million UAV drones and using advanced AI backed up with 7 exco-flop Hyper computers. China can spot and track every moving body in taiwan and kill anyone that even carry a stick 24/7 !!

Anyone in taiwan who even dare to go outside carrying a stick will get instant death from these UAVs, and taiwan's ManPad (man portotable stinger missiles) are totally useless, since it is cheaper to actually build these drowns than their missiles and taiwan surely does not have 10 million ManPads, not even 1 million !

Every vehicles that look like military vehicles will be completely wiped out before the landing invasion even begin on taiwan !

The main purpose of this family of vehicle is to fit inside a Z-8L and a Mi-171 with some room on both sides. AC-313A is designed with the same constraints in mind. This is to allow them to air lift a bunch of these into mountainous regions in Tibet or Taiwan or wherever else and move around and carry a lot of different missions. This vehicle is a really big deal for PLAGF

Yes indeed.

It can be used for so many things !

They are the ideal weapons for recon missions !

No one is talking about the Chinese version of the Wiesel airborne vehicle, which also fits into a Z8L helicopter. Does anyone know the status of this vehicle?

Mountain Cat ATVs are now equipped with PAP.

They look cute.

Combined arms battalion system.

Imagine the fun running unmanned simulated war games with a bunch of these things.
Possibly at a fraction of the cost of real combined arms battalions too.
