I've noticed a lot of uninformed comments about PLA in this forum so I'm going to use this thread to regularly post any informations i've learned about Chinese military from other forums I followed.

Never watched it but Chapo Trap House did an in depth review of one and it was hysterical.

at flexing with ammo boxes.

China is obviously modeling their military upon ours and for good reason; it works. It's gonna be interesting to see what they become and what doctrines they adopt. They got a boost by stealing tech or taking it from Western companies in exchange for doing business in China but that is leveling out. China is gonna be forced to innovate like everyone else because they can't steal their way through the rest of 21st century.

Did you just posted old video of ZBD-05 from Chinese media showing one of its failed test during development?
Well, fear not because they already fixed the problem and its currently the fastest amphibious IFV in the world




Also US vehicles aren't free of troubles themselves
