That guy with the DIY helmet cam has it easy compared to that poor troop who has the same camera bolted to his rifle stock.

How anyone expects him to aim with the thing in the way is anyone's guess.

The PLAN marines in contrast have some very nice kit that fills some obvious holes. The individual tac radios and subvocal larynx mikes are a great addition, as are the various suppressors some members have on their rifles.

The only disappointment was that non of the marines were issued with NVGs during the night time intrusion exercise. During that same exercise, it also appears that the marines' sidearm holsters were all empty.

I also didn't like how the marines were all lined up standing out in the open with zero cover. Fair enough they needed to cover the whole perimeter, but they should have dropped into a squat, or gone prone to minimise their exposure in that situation while still getting as good a view as they would have done standing around.

Is it just me or are those PLAN marines wearing their vests too low? Feels like those vests should be a few inches higher so they cover the chest and upper back critical areas better.

Wearing the vests low down would grant extra mobility to the arms, but sacrifices on protection for some pretty crical areas.

This pic is supposedly from a failry recent PLAN exercise. I do not know if it was the Sino-Russian exercise of late, though I do know some Type 022s were involved:

That's 80 potent ASMs right there...I would not want to get in sensor and weapons range of that.

The PLAN conducted amphibious assault exercises, including air assault, in the South China Sea last week.

It marked the first time they had used more than one of their LCACs at the same time...simultaneously in an exercise.

Here are some pictures from it:

Too low and too loose. You want your vest to be snug agsint your body especially if you have plate inserts otherwise they move around when you run etc. You also want to protect your sides especially the entire area underneath your underarms.. A bullet penetrating your sides is fatal because of critical organs.
