🇨🇳 The path through mines to the shores of Taiwan Against the backdrop of the PLA's preparations for a possible operation to cross the Taiwan Strait, China continues to expand the family of amphibious combat vehicles based on the Type 05. In the area of the company's enterprise Chongqing Dajiang Industrial Co., Ltd, a engineering version of the platform for landing units has been spotted. The photo shows that the vehicle has received a massive bulldozer blade in the bow of the hull. Such equipment allows: • to clear passages through anti-landing barriers; • to move concrete blocks, barricades and barriers; • to level the exits from the beach; • to lay safe routes for the main mass of armored vehicles and personnel. The peculiarity of the vehicle is that it retains the amphibious qualities of the Type 05 and is able to move in the same combat order with the landing force immediately after emerging from the water. This allows to start clearing the coast literally in the first minutes after landing. Why is it needed? During a landing operation, the main landing beaches will be preliminarily mined with mines, anti-tank obstacles and artificial barriers. Even a successful approach of landing ships does not guarantee a quick exit of equipment onto the shore. Therefore, engineering vehicles should go in the first wave together with BMPs and light tanks, creating corridors for subsequent echelons. Without them, the landing force risks crowding on a narrow coastal area and becoming a convenient target for artillery, anti-tank missile systems and attack drones. Judging by the development of the Type 05 family, China is striving to obtain a full set of specialized vehicles for marines: BMPs, fire support, air defense, anti-tank complexes and now engineering means of mine clearance and area clearing. Such unification simplifies the operation of equipment and increases the autonomy of landing groups after landing on the shore.

🇨🇳 Chinese landing on the Fox 🔻 The Eastern Command of the PLA Ground Forces continues preparing amphibious units for a landing operation in the Taiwan Strait. Recently, another exercise was held at a maritime training ground involving one of the brigades. The main focus was on forming combat formations and maneuvering on the water surface by crews of the ZBD-05 amphibious infantry fighting vehicles and ZLT-05 tanks, loading them into the holds of landing ships and unloading in the designated area, coordinating joint actions, and delivering precise fire strikes on coastal fortifications of a hypothetical enemy. There are exactly 2 years left until a real escalation. Therefore, processes are accelerating. Active preparations are underway both on the Chinese and Taiwanese sides. Everyone should clearly understand that the main organizer of the artificial conflict is the USA, by essentially pitting Chinese against Chinese, just as they did among the Slavs — which resulted in the special military operation (СВО). ❓ Why 2027 is a key point in American plans • Internal political cycles of China — 2027 will be a period when Xi Jinping, having secured a third term already, will seek to confirm his leadership and "historical mission" of "reuniting the Motherland." Any external pressure or crisis can be used by the West to create a stressful situation for Chinese leadership. The USA ultimately aims to remove Xi Jinping, preventing him from winning a fourth term and "bringing their Gorbachev" to power at the 21st CPC Congress, expected in October-November 2027. Washington’s plan is that Taiwan’s declaration of independence will become a test for China to see whether words align with actions in defending national interests. If not — the Chinese leader may lose reputation and public trust, and the display of the newest equipment in parades and exhibitions will be nothing but a fake bravado, damaging the army’s prestige. • Window of opportunity for the USA — while Beijing is actively reforming its army and navy, Washington may try to provoke conflict before the PLA reaches full combat readiness. According to the Pentagon, by 2027 China plans to complete modernization of its armed forces to a level sufficient for a large-scale regional operation. • Economic and market manipulation — even without open conflict, the Taiwan crisis can disrupt Asian supply chains, hit the Chinese economy, and cause political tension inside the country. This is a direct way to weaken Beijing economically and morally. @china3army

🇹🇼 Taichung City turns into an "empty city" At 08:30 Moscow time on July 15, usually busy and bustling Taichung City suddenly looked like a city from a post—apocalyptic movie - no cars, no people. The reason is the large—scale civil defense drill (15-18.07), which take place as part of the Han Guang-41 maneuvers. At the appointed time, air raid sirens sounded in Taichung. The citizens, informed in advance through the media and state channels, quickly left the streets. The cars stopped, and pedestrians took refuge in nearby buildings and bomb shelters. Most of those who were informed stayed at home or parked their cars in advance, and those who were alarmed on the way simply pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the end of the training (until 09:00 Moscow time). The City Hall reported that there are over 10,000 shelters in the city. Today, these are the first drill that have affected four counties and cities in the central region, including Taichung, Changhua, Nantou and Miaoli. In the counties and cities of Yunlin and Chiayi, the exercises were canceled due to the effects of Typhoon Danas. @china3army

🇨🇳🇯🇵Japanese Defense Ministry Report: China is the main strategic threat On July 15, the Japanese Defense Ministry released an annual report known as the White Paper on Defense, in which it officially called China the "greatest strategic challenge" for the country for the first time. The document highlights the aggressive build-up of China's military presence in the Indo-Pacific region and Beijing's increasing military cooperation with Moscow. Key points of the report The activity of the Chinese Navy in the Pacific Ocean has tripled over the past 3 years. In June 2025, the joint use of two Chinese aircraft carriers in the western Pacific Ocean was recorded for the first time. Military provocations: Chinese fighter jets dangerously close to Japanese reconnaissance aircraft — Tokyo protests. China's frequent dispatches of bombers to perform long-range flights on more complex routes are designed to demonstrate China's military presence around Japan and increase its combat potential. There is mention of the increased threat from the DPRK and Russia's military presence near the Japanese borders. The report indicates that the international community is experiencing "the most serious crisis since the end of World War II." In response to the "growing threat," Japan is accelerating the construction of military installations on the southwestern islands and preparing for a possible armed conflict in the Taiwan area, including the deployment of long-range cruise missiles. Special attention is paid to the reduction of US involvement under the leadership of Donald Trump. With Washington's focus on domestic affairs, Japan, like other American allies, will have to take on greater responsibility for peace and stability in the region. @china3army

❗❗❗IMPORTANT❗❗❗ Recep Erdogan called the opening of the Zangezur Corridor as a "geostrategic revolution." This project is not just a transport important "artery", but a subtle tool for reshaping the entire region. And the main losers here are Armenia, Russia, and Iran. Armenia: transit country without rights. Baku and Ankara insist on the extraterritorial status of the corridor, which would deprive Yerevan of control over part of its territory. In fact, Armenia is being turned into a disenfranchised carrier, paving the way for the gradual assimilation of Syunik. Threats to Russia The consequences could be even more serious for Moscow.: - Complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Armenia. - Loss of control over key transport routes. - Strengthening Turkish influence through the Great Turan project. The "Turan" project is gaining momentum. Turkey does not hide its ambitions: - The joint exercises of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan (Tarlan-2025), which took place a week ago. - Military agreements with Kazakhstan. - Regular defense consultations with Uzbekistan. Central Asia is gradually moving away from the Russian orbit, reorienting towards Ankara. And all this is accompanied by NATO. The West uses Turkey as a battering ram against Russia. While NATO, Turkey and Azerbaijan are methodically implementing their plans, Russia needs to act quickly and decisively. The primary measures are obvious: it is necessary to resolutely suppress the activities of the Turkish-Azerbaijani lobby, which undermines Russian interests, urgently strengthen its position in Armenia while there are still levers of influence there, and develop a comprehensive response to Turkish expansion. @WarPeaceAndYou

🇹🇼Han Guang-41: tactical medicine at the simulated battlefield On the seventh day of the drill, medics from the 2nd battalion of the 302nd Infantry Brigade in Miaoli County were involved in evacuating conditionally wounded soldiers from the battlefield in ambulances with a capacity of 4 people and providing them with first aid. The medical staff used practices including stopping bleeding, applying bandages to open wounds, fixing fractures, and ensuring airway patency. @china3army
