New pices from Chinese special forces

We basically agree on the quads. The 12.7 anti-materiel rifle and PF-98 rocket launcher are for show. Fire either weapon and you can write that driver off. Where is the spare ammunition and the vehicle would be off balance once it was mounted and got moving. These vehicles are not real big. The PLA soldiers are not carrying a lot of kit with them so the photos are all PR. See what Western soldiers carry when deploying and you will see what I mean.

As foir Afghanistan, the Brits are getting up-armoured vehicles and the Australians use 6x6 vehicles, and neither force used light 4x4 vehicles as you can't carry enough equipment for extended patrols and survival gear. I have actually been in the same type of bush and terrain (not location) where these type of generally operate and hit and run ops are not their forte. To many bastards with assault rifles ruin their day.

As for not understanding the PLA go to the Jamestown Organisation's China Brief, look up Martin Andrew, and get back to me. As for light 4x4 machine gun gun 'jeeps' shooting up leg infantry, I don't believe you will see modern well trained infantry too concerned. They would disperse, lie down and quietly and confidently return fire. If the 4x4s stop to hit the target they would be defeated. Hit and run is good for quick close ambushing but infantry in the open are a different matter.

SAS of both Australia and UK use modified Land rover 110's (e.g. the pink panther) for long range reconnaissance other special duties, they seldom "hit" their enemies unless they are detected and engaged.





I would assume the same would apply to PLA's special forces, unlike in Hollywood movies, special forces in real life do very little killing, their primary duty is intelligence gathering, sabotage, and from time to time eliminating very specific target, they do not need a lot of firepower or protection, and excessive armour and armament can become burdens.

Gee I guess all those specially modified Perentie 6 x 6 long range patrol vehicles that were built in Australia must be sitting gathering dust. Of course using a commercial webiste photo of a Brtish short wheel based Land Rover which haven't been in Australian service for decades reveals your knowledge of the subject.:nana:

Where did I say that 6x6 vehicles weren't used? And since I have mentioned the British SAS, what's wrong with showing the picture of the pink panther? the pictures were intended to illustrate my point of 4x4's in special forces.

And here are a few pictures of Australians and their 4x4 land rovers. The first two were taken in Afghanistan.

Can you named the Chinese name for every MR unit. thx

great info....long live great china
