My mistake. Wasn't able to identity the vehicles since I'm really unfamiliar with each of the many types of IFVs in the PLAGF. Thank you for the correction!

Lucky photographer manages to take this awesome ZBD-86 photo when it was passing through a granular section of the circuit.

New results shown that the ZBD86 crew officially came second place while the Russian MBP crew came first. The two teams squared off at the second stage of the 'Amphibious Platoon' competition.

The IFV No. 301 and 302 are actually type 05 used by the airborne troops. They are sometimes wrongly described as ZBD2000. Type 05 IFVs can be air dropped by parachutes. ZBD86 is participating in the competitions but with numbers 616 and 619.

ZBD2000 or ZBD05 during the amphibious competition of AMI. Results showed that the Russian Naval Infantry came first, PLA Marine Corps came second, and Kazakhstan navy marines came third place.

My apology, IFV 301 and 302 are actually ZLC2000 aka WZ506, not type 05.
