The PLA's single-soldier equipment
China has never been equipped with systematic single-soldier equipment
The single-soldier equipment used by some of the current special forces is very atypical, and it is only through the use of these special forces that they are able to accumulate experience, and to make technological reserves for the development of systematic research into the complete soldier system
The General Logistics Department has made great efforts to develop a system that can be used by the PLA, including the use of anti-grenade and anti-scorbital devices. In fact, the General Logistics Department has made a lot of efforts in this area, including anti-bacterial underwear, anti-bacterial socks, and convenient food, which is actually a very careful consideration, but for various reasons (mainly because we don't have experience in developing systems), they are not configured according to the system, but are issued as separate products
In fact, our army is also making efforts to know that the Russian Bamicha soldier system includes all kinds of products, from the Bamicha to the Bamicha, which is the most popular system. A Russian "Bamitsa" soldier system includes everything from boots to helmets, from field food to inflatable boats, from rifles and optics to bulletproof vests, from corrals and cold weather gear, from life-saving products, from backpacks to tents and bedding, and so on, that the development of such a huge system has been underway since before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it's still not complete, and it's being constantly improved.
We're just now on the road to collective gear, and we haven't even implemented modularity yet. The first generation of 91 gear and backpacks were horrible, and there was no compatibility, or it wasn't even considered at the time, and the backpacks can't be adjusted, and I've had my shoulders popped, and I've been carrying it once, and it's too high for a tall person, and too high for a short person, and it's too high for a short person, and it hits them in the ass
The 91 gear was even more horrible. The grenades are under the armpits, the magazines are in front of the stomach, almost a replica of the old straps, and the water bottle pockets are in the middle behind the buttocks, and you can't wear a backpack with a suit, so don't wear a suit if you're wearing a backpack
This means that the military started out like LZ, thinking that they would develop it, and with that development, they could keep switching it over to the troops, but in reality, because it wasn't a systematic development, it worked so poorly, that from the beginning of 91 to the present day, the troops have been constantly developing and producing suit, and delivering it to the troops. The troops have been developing and producing the suit, sending it to the grassroots for testing, then improving it and accumulating experience, and now it's a big waste
The U.S. Army now has a wearable backpack that can perform three-day assault missions, and with the module loaded, it can be extended to long-distance foot patrols, and the bulletproof vest and suit are universal, and the module can be hooked onto the vest and it's common to wear military boots
It all looks very impressive, but the price is silly, and it's not worth it. When you look at the price, it's silly to think that for China, which has a large number of combatants, even at cost, each piece of body armor is 3,000 yuan, each pair of boots is 300 yuan, and the backpack is 1,000 yuan, and the gas mask and goggles are 500 yuan, and the knee pads and elbows are 500 yuan, and the rappelling harness is 500 yuan, and that's after you've compressed the cost, and at least half of the tools and equipment, and the consumables, have been left out of the calculations, as well. The most expensive communication equipment, optical instruments, weapons, so that the Snow Wolf Commandos 300,000 per person equipment costs are not blown out of proportion
Unless the two million troops are equipped with 300,000 yuan per person, if you do some careful calculations, such an investment is barely up to the average U.S. military standard, which is only 30,000 U.S. dollars, and the U.S. Special Forces are not even close to being able to compare, but it is already 600 billion dollars, and the N military spending has gone in, but still need to be the People's Liberation Army.
Annual maintenance costs and wear and tear are also growing exponentially
So, for China to develop its soldier systems, it will take a long time, and it will have to find its own experience and try to reduce costs as much as possible, and increase the efficiency of its equipment, which can't be diverted from Western or Russian systems, and which are too expensive to be effective. China is trying to "develop the rubber boot," and if they can improve the technology to get closer to the leather boot in terms of comfort, functionality, and protection, then they can improve the quality of their equipment in a wide range of ways, and at a lower cost, and they can spread it
It can't be just about having fun, and the American soldier is cool, but the problem is that the U.S. military doesn't equip its soldiers with equipment for their chances of survival, and the price is what makes the Interceptor so expensive. Dragon Scale Armor, which costs three times as much as today's Interceptor vests, and as a result, U.S. soldiers are forced to lug around tough ceramic composite inserts, get stuck in forests, mountains, and buildings, and it's not so much a lack of caution as it is a killing of human beings. If we don't want to follow in the footsteps of others, we need to do solid research and develop a system that works for us.
