Documentary of military truck drivers on China National Highway 219. The highway passes through Aksai Chin and the mountains that border Nepal, India and Pakistan. The "Road of Death"

PLA exercise with their new toys.

From 0:15 they show how the ROWS is operated. Somehow still using the hand-cranked wheel for elevation and traverse... I guess it works, but it's still kind of a letdown... the cost-cutting measure is strong with this one.

I expected automatic, like a modern tank gun. Just aim and the system do the rest. Do Western ROWS have this feature?

If you mean stabilized and auto lead based on computed target speed, I believe at least some Western ROWS have this feature. Based on the video however, the Mengshi ROWS doesn't seem to have those features, probably as a cost-cutting measure.

How about those on China's APCs?
