New Delhi: Even as the Indian Army and the Chinese People's Liberation Army are talking about disengagement, China is building up in the Pangong lake.

China has just moved 6 Type-928D assault boats to the lake. These are manufactured by Changzhou FRD Shipyard. Each boat can carry ten soldiers with his weapons and ammunition. Naturally, it is an additional reason for concern for the Indian troops in the area. The boats are close to the Line of Actual Control, but of course, during the winter months, part of the lake freezes over.

The Chinese also have the larger Swedish made armed CB-90 assault boats that can take 20 soldiers along with a three-member crew.

The question is, of course: why to deploy them now. This is at a time when India is facing 50-60,000 Chinese soldiers, 300-400 tanks, artillery and air-defence weapons along the LAC.

What disengagement?

India said, China is scared and not prepared for long term engagement. China can not match Indian Military and economical power.

China operate Type-928D assault boats that carry 11 soldiers. And Type-928C Inshore Patrol Boats that carry 23 soldiers. China does not operate Swedish made CB-90 assault boats.

You are correct, but what you expect from Bharti fools. these boats are deployed long before but Indian fools are equating it to MARCOS deployments.


The Type-092D assault boat has been in the news because it has been deployed by China to Pangong Lake on the China-India border. Like most modern assault boats, the type is generally modelled on the Swedish CB-90 type.

China's New Assault Boat: Type-928D

The Type-092D assault boat has been in the news because it has been deployed by China to Pangong Lake on the China-India border. Like most modern assault boats, the type is generally modelled on the Swedish CB-90 type.

It differs from the CB-90 in three significant ways. a) It has a glass reinforced plastic hull instead of aluminum b) it is smaller and carries around half the troops and c) it has a remote weapon station.

Specifications
Length: 13.00m
Beam: 3.8m
Draft 1.80m
Speed: 38.9kn
PAX: 11
Navigation area: Inland River Class A
Propulsion: 3 x 295hp
Armament: 1 x remote weapon station with 12.7mm machine gun. 2 x pedestals for crew-served machine guns. Crew weapons
The Type-928D is built by Changzhou FRP Shipyard Co Ltd.in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China. This boat yard specializes in GRP (glass reinforced plastic) boats although aluminum types are also offered. The yard appears to be constructing large numbers of riverine craft for the Chinese armed forces.
