Yet another type of plate carrier or vest that I have not seen before.

Better images of this particular plate carrier/vest worn by Chinese peacekeepers.

Some PAP units have procured Red Kestrel's plate carriers.

Plate carriers and other accessories on display at the Singapore Airshow. These have been equipped by Chinese paratroopers (last two images).

I don't recall seeing this particular model of day/night binocular and laser range finder.

PLAGF soldiers wearing new elbow and knee pads, which are a relatively rare sight. The pads now have lower-visibility compared to before, because the soft-padded portions are now covered in camouflage.

This is the first time I've seen Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) markers on the back of helmets.

A few more misc. images of the smart/networked soldier system:

Look to be the same reflective IFF tags recently seen on PLAGF troops on the range.

Youtuber Oxide apparently did a test on the PLA Type-15 standard issue plate he got his hands on in January, doesn't seem very impressed.

Photos from back in January




He's likely gonna release more detailed test data on this spreadsheet later on, which already incudes the results of NATO / Russian equivalents he previously tested. (Oxide does seem to have very high standards based on previous reviews, but he is probably one of the most unbiased reviewers available on the internet)
