Ordinary PLA infantrymen
- Thread starter green beret
- Start date
If I'm not mistaken, those SWAT photos posted by Eric Chu is from the Beijing special police unit called Snow Wolf Commando Unit (SWCU):
Note unit page pictured in above link.
These are special counter-terriorism SWAT units organized ahead of 2008 Olympics and cannot be considered joe average PLA infantry. Each SWCU officer is said to be outted with approx. $38,000 USD worth of equipment (body armor, radio, etc).
If you outfit 1 million infantry with same stuff, that'd cost you $38 billion. hehehe.

nice article...hope it will advocate even futher people to the 'grand branch' of artillery
Hmm, equipment might not be about ergonomics, but speed and utility. Having a belt or jacket beats having separate items, and while they aren't comfortable, I am sure they are design to have things fly into your face when you drop for cover or run, right?
Any picture of a military boot?

Yes, the Chinese soilders are not as well equibed as the Americans in Irap. But they American soilders in Iraq are the best troops of America, as oridnariy US infantry, they are not that much better.
Also, China spend most of its money on building strong Navy, and Air force, due to modern warfare.

Sorry but US Army didn't deploy only front line troops in Iraq. for example there were times were up to 40% of troops deployed were National Guard units and they aren't in no way "best troops"...
