PLA Army News & Discussions

[Figaro]

I have a question. How can PLA has group army into 76th and 80th? Are they really have 80 group armies? It's impossible, isn't it? Because 1 group army = 3 corps. Which mean to have 80 group army is the same as having 7 - 8 million soldiers. So how PLA numbering their group army?

Dude, group armies are numbered from 71 to 83, not 0 to 83. The PLA currently has 2 million soldiers ... and less than 1/2 of them are in the army. The names were changed after 5 group armies were disbanded per the 2015 personnel cuts and subsequently reorganized to streamline the ground forces. I don't think China, even at peak army strength, ever had a force even close to 8 million soldiers.

I think in the future we can deploy more UAV against enemy's tank regiment. Higher/faster/cheaper.
