I don't get it, why is China getting 4 types of MP vehicle(Humvee copy, 2046, BJ, FAV),
especially when two of them share identical roles?(BJ, Humvee copy).
The FAV is logical for airborne forces, and the 2046 too, while hauling more for less capability.
But two Jeeps? Why?

its like asg why america is getting f-22s andkin still more f-16s. one serve as a cheap aricraft to bolster the force, and the other is a more advanced platform for total domination. the hummer is for more elite units, and the bj is a replacement ofr the older bj2020s
pardon, the oneliner, its kinda hard not to wirte onw when the thread is so wide.

I seriously think the different kinds of vehicles China is getting can get pretty messy. And I'm not only referring to these humvee copies. Recently China has developed quite a few indigeneous weapons, supplies could pose a huge problem. I say we keep on downsizing the army, so we can standardize everything, and bring them up to the level of preparedness and training and equipment to the RRU units. This way, it will not cost too much money, and also bringing up the bulk of the army up to date. Oh, recent elections in Taiwan, KMT won by a landslide.

HMMVV has better performance overall. Speed, loading, and maybe more stability due to the wider body. Maybe they're using it as a temporary replacement before new ones come out.

Lost of Americans were very pissed off that Ford (GM, sorry) sold the design to China cos the Hummer is like "a symbol of America."

GM, not Ford.


Then again, both are on the verge of major downsizing and corporate restructuring. If you ask me, these two had it coming. Besides the unreasonable amount of union bagage these two companies have to carry, their entire management philosophy just pisses me off. Everytime I see the "Professional Grade Engineering" ad from GM, I say to my self, "Professional for the 80's, perhaps".

well, i think the pla is going to retire the bj2020 and the eq2081, to be replaced by more modern designs. in the future, the chinese truck fleet should be signifigantly smaller than it is now. its always the trnsitional stage thats hard, thats thats where china is now.
