Re: Chinese military photos

I think that there is a good reason why the type-85 SMG is still around, especially in units such as these in which almost all of there missions are going to be covert and or behind enemy lines. If you notice, the frogman leading the unit is normally the one carrying the suppressed SMG, so that if he sees an enemy combatant he can quickly and quietly take them out without revealing there position.

One quick question about the frogmens' type-95s. In the US Navy SEALs, their M-4/M-16s are specially designed to be waterproof, and that includes the reciever, mag well, eject port, barrel and anywhere else where water might be able to seep through thus causing a catastrophic failure of the weapon when you try to fire it, and it can even injure or even kill the man behind the weapon. I was just wondering if the Chinese type-95 are built to the same special specs for spec-ops?

In this vid it shows a Type 95 being submerged in water (for 10 minutes, at least it's what it says), and then being able to be used normally.
However the magazine isn't put into the water...

Yes I did. I felt it was to graphic for this forum. However as long as no one objects I'll let it stand.

Hundreds of elite police and soldiers attend a send-off ceremony as they prepare for the security during China's 60th anniversary celebration in Beijing on June 23, 2009. China will impose even tougher security measures for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic in October than it did for last year's Olympic Games, state media said.

Re: Chinese military photos

Taiwan's Ching Kuo fighter now is fit with conformal fuel tank. I heard rumors sometime ago that the latest variant of J-7, the J-7G2, is going to fit with a conformal fuel tank too. So far, we haven't seen any evidence of that bird. Personally, I think if they modify J-7 a little such as adding conformal fuel tank for longer range, and changing a turbo fan engine for better fuel efficiency, the bird still has its potential market.

Caption edited by popeye to generalize the photos
Quote:
Chinese riot police & paramilitary soldiers confront both Muslim ethnic Uighur and Han Chinese in Urumqi in China's far west Xinjiang province on July 7, 2009 following a third day of unrest. Police fired tear gas to disperse thousands of Han Chinese protesters armed with makeshift weapons and vowing revenge, as chaos gripped this flashpoint city riven by ethnic tensions following rioting that claimed at least 156 lives. Authorities ordered a night curfew and thousands of heavily armed police deployed across Urumqi.

Re: Chinese military photos

Going over that last set of pics, I noticed that the security forces seemed to be equipped with two different types of kevlar helmets. Does anyone know anything about the type that does not look like PAGST? It kind of resembles the Russian army helmet. I was not aware that the PLA produced a helmet of that variety.

Re: Chinese military photos

Look at the last pic. A lady sitting in the crowd was carrying a baby in her arms, and maybe was feeding him too. Was she joining the protest? Why carrying babies into such a scene? It would be great dangerous for the babies if any violence occurs.

I think that was idea they where trying to get across. This was the 'day after' protest, where the wives of men arrested held a march to ask for them back. A government spokesman told them to disperse and they did just that.

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Ethnic mobs overrun Chinese city

There been a lot of talk here about Western sources not covering the riots very well and I agree, there are deficiencies and inevitable bias but so far its at least informative.
