Hand launched UAV used during exercises

Now we look at one of the UAV that's used during this exercise. These hand launched UAV offer great mobility, flexibility and ability.

We also look at a few more pictures from this exercise.


Red team covered 260 KM in 30 hours.

260 KM was covered by the red team, after they got the order to move. Thousands of men and hundreds of vehicles deployed instantly, and withstanding electronic interference, and a "chemical environment," as well as other obstacles, all arrived on time to the designated area preparing for battle.

Paper maps, survival skills, and other "manual" tasks are still very important. This integration is more about different services. For example, the platoon vs the battalion example. The battalion charged head first as is the norm, they may have chose fire support via artillery, but the blue team used drones, live battlefield feedback, helicopter gun ships and transport, fighter jets, artillery and more.


The battlefield will be more integrated meaning, all the services will be involved and each will be given a task to better accomplish the overall task. Like the AEGIS system, which is also the direction Americans are going for with the F-35.


The blue team uses all the strategies employeed by the Americans through their wars and new tactics developed by PLA as well as some unnatural advantages given by the directors, and the result is total victory over traditional Chinese tactics. The one time, red team won and it was so "bloody", that it was like back to Korea.


As of now, China will face off against weaker land armies and the key to reduce casualties is concentrated and accurate fire power, greater mobility, fast decision making, and more.

Your concern with technology is valid, but just look at this exercise, if you can't knock out the other's whole system, you may as well be the spokesperson for tomb stones, cause that's all the commander will be good for.

When you have the ease of technology, the so called use of traditional method will hardly be used. This is human nature. Just like how asiana airline crashes in USA due to the malfunction of auto pilot. The pilot is hardly proficient in manual landing and crash landed.

This is happening to the US armed forces.
