Be jesus, Little Nellie!Autogyros produced by Shaanxi Baoji Special Purpose Vehicle Co. Now there's a new anti-tank variant with an optical turret.

I recently suggested paratroopers should use very small aircraft to prevent a large tragedy.Are these relevant now drones are commonplace?
Linking to my post about this in a different thread.Maybe , but then why an order was given this way . There isn't really a good reason to written up a exercise that need the unit to drive up though a civilian used road like this , it doesn't really provide a training that is unobtainable in other ways, and it doesn't justify destroying part of the road.
The only information that this maneuver will provide is , that yes , you can just drive up the road with metal tracks , but you didn't need this drill to confirm this.
So you are telling me they made the one of the best silent bird hunting tool.Don't know where to put this exactly, but here will have to do. NORINCO's remote glass breaking tool for rescue and other scenarios. It can break 19mm tempered glass panels from a distance of 30 meters by firing specialized darts. For close distances, it fires hardened balls instead (see 2nd image).
You've forgot to take rail transport into consideration.Linking to my post about this in a different thread.
It looks like PLA was conducting war games simulating a Taiwan invasion scenario with Eastern TC acting as the invaders and the Northern TC playing the role of defenders. Using tank transport trucks would sacrifice the fidelity of these war games as in an invasion of Taiwan they would not be landing such trucks with the invasion force. Dispatching the trucks by land ahead of time as a cost saving measure would also reveal the location of the invasion to the defenders in these war games.
Also, for these war games, large tracts of the sea off the SE coast of Shandong, from the tip of Shandong Peninsula all the way down to Lianyungang, Jiangsu, was shutdown for 5 days. Ship traffic to two of China's busiest ports, Qingdao and Lianyungang would be affected by these restrictions. While it doesn't look like the ports were shut down, but ships would have to go around the restricted areas to get to/from the ports, resulting in delays and increased fuel consumption.
Two other areas further out in the Yellow Sea were also cordoned off for the reason of rockets plunging down, which suggest ASBMs taking part in these war games.
So, apparently, these war games are important enough to be worth incurring the costs of delaying and re-routing ship traffic to two of China's busiest ports as well as the firing of a very expensive ASBM. In comparison, the cost of resurfacing a stretch of street is trivial.
Then it all make sense then , and if a drill is made in such scale , and in this much realism. It means that the PLA think Taiwan scenario is very likely in the short to mid term. Last time I heard drills this real was over 20 years ago.You've forgot to take rail transport into consideration.

On top of the recent exercises in Shandong and the Yellow Sea, there were also some unexplained atmospheric lights seen Korla and Turpan in Xinjiang on July 16.Then it all make sense then , and if a drill is made in such scale , and in this much realism. It means that the PLA think Taiwan scenario is very likely in the short to mid term. Last time I heard drills this real was over 20 years ago.
