Another provocation by Chinese, deploying troops and building barracks near Indian border
China builds oxygen-rich barracks for soldiers in Tibet mountains
BEIJING: The People's Liberation Army in China has come up with the first batch of ecological oxygen-enriched barracks for use by troops posted in the oxygen deficient mountain regions of Tibet across the Indian border. It means lesser dependence on oxygen cylinders and higher performance for soldiers, the PLA research team has reported.
This is one of the several recent innovations reported by Chinese defense establishment that include reduction in take-off time for ship-based helicopters, reorganizing the layout for multi-functional training ground in the slopes of Inner Mongolia and running digitalized medical services, according to the official media.
Oxygen enriched barracks built at a height of 4,500 meters at the Naqu Military Sub-Command in Tibet involved using plants to generate additional oxygen in a special activity room and barracks with floor space of 1,000 square meters and 3,000 square meters, respectively. Soldiers using these facilities during exercise were found to have 10% higher oxygen level in the blood as compared to the outdoors and relieved of the problem of plateau anoxia.
The harsh environment with 48% oxygen as compared to the hinterland has been a cause of worry for the PLA, which found a large number of soldiers suffering from altitude diseases as alopecia and nail dent. Ecological experts including botanists and altitude disease pathologists were brought in for an on-the-spot investigation in the largely unpopulated area. This is what resulted in the creation of barracks that use plants to generate additional oxygen, the official media said.
The official media recently touted the efforts of the military command in Inner Mongolia to rework the ground layout for shooting and hand-grenade training as a major achievement. The landscaping work involved taking advantage of natural land formations like slope, ridge and pit on the banks of Argun River at the China-Russia border to prepare four training facilities in a small area.
The Chinese navy managed to reduce the time it takes for a ship based helicopter to get out of the hanger and take off by four minutes early this week. This was done by combining and reorganizing several steps in the process launching helicopters during an exercise in the middle sea area of the Gulf of Aden close to the pirate infested Somalia coast on June 23.
"We arrange a multiple of subjects including low-altitude flight, ultra low-altitude flight, hovering, sliding and landing on the ship in a flight sortie to all-roundly improve the psychological quality and flight skill of the pilots under complicated meteorological conditions." Cui Ao, captain of the helicopter crew of the "Guangzhou" warship, was quoted in the official media as saying.
