An academic paper studying the hydrodynamic characteristics of X-tail/stern rudders of submarines.
Posted by @琴石2022 on Weibo.
I'd have posted these in the 095 SSN/096 SSBN thread, but given that we've seen possible X-tail design being adapted for future PLAN SSKs (and perhaps SSK-Ns too, if they exist), so I decided to post them here.

A surface action flotilla of 055 DDG #106 Yan'an, 052D DDG #165 Yinchuan, 052C DDG #170 Lanzhou and 054A FFG #575 Yueyang sailing together during a naval exercise.
More of the satellite photos of the new sailless submarine (possibly XLUUV) and the floating drydock. Posted by @MT_Anderson on Twitter.
Apparently he wasn't allowed to share the 15cm resolution photograph from Maxar of the submarine, so he can only post the 50cm resolution photograph from Airbus.

Exposed thoraxes = easy kills.
The Marines in Djibouti used to be better
But things have changed
Anyone have an explanation for why this improper plate carrier wearing problem has persisted so long? Not that this specific thing is particularly important, but just why something so easily fixed is still endemic.Exposed thoraxes = easy kills.

I suspect your average PLAGF, PLAN Marine, and PAP grunt is a from the poorest strata of society or is someone who can't meaningly participate in the economic life of urban areas. He is therefore unused to rudimentary modern amenities and incapable of properly handling basic military equipment. The original poster (@QIUSIYU) of this image, for example, is a retired PAP. He's blissfully unaware that most of the images he shares are utterly embarrassing. The contrast is especially stark when you consider that even illiterate know how to properly wear a vest. It will be a long time before your average Chinese grunt can perform competently in a modern war because he is still firmly planted in the third world, not yet even at the level of the Afghan Taliban.
