Re: Chinese military photos

But why? All the other kinds of bases are in the middle of nowhere...

You can't put a navy base in the middle of no-where like the Army and USAF do. And when those bases were established the San Diego area was not the tourist mecca it is today.

Your description is incorrect. This is the last remaining horse mounted cavalry battalion in the PLA. They are located in Mongolia. They are mostly retained for heritage and film shooting needs.

Their capability, at most, is at B rated level.

I think they could use snow-mobiles if they want to... And look at the vast plain! It's ideal for mechanized troops, IMHO.

You do serious, but I admire.
the first photo, I think some soldiers, like the Uighurs.I just say that they are the cavalry, they may be the local militia and reserve forces, the PLA had no cavalry formed.you said that team cavalry in Mongolia, but also retired.

If you have recently read the news, Xinjiang blizzard, still see the cavalry to participate in disaster relief.
Yes, there are plains, but also there are mountains.

they would not attend the war, But you will be eliminated within a seconds, if you are terrorists, because they also have sub-machine guns, they can assault, they can dismount ambush.
