If that's the case, I do wonder what the price is for one of these. The XM157 costing 10,700 a piece is absurs until I read that they US has a 2 billion dollar contract for these. Absolutely insane money spending right there. That's like more than 6 times the budget for the PLAGF.
Not that surprising considering a bare top-line Vortex LPVO can cost more than 4k. But given that high quality compact FCS units aren't cheap to start with (even Chinese commercial hunting laser rangefinders start off at half a thousand USD), I'd still say their price would still be in the four digits.

While these might be issued to SOF and Elite units, I really can't see these appearing on any standard PLA infantry anytime soon, given that they're still struggling to issue the average sniper (much higher on the priorities list) with much simpler mounted BBQ-201 ballistic trajectory / rangefinder modules.
