This is the first demonstration of the bomb bay of the Chinese KQ-200 anti-submarine aircraft, which reportedly holds 12 homing depth charges or 4-6 light anti-submarine torpedoes. The KQ-200 aircraft became the first modern basic patrol aircraft in the PRC and was created on the basis of a deep modernization of the Y-8 medium turboprop transport aircraft - a modified copy of the Soviet An-12.
The work of the Chinese 25-mm twin anti-aircraft guns Type 87 in the exercises to repel an attack of unmanned aerial vehicles of the imaginary enemy.
The 25-mm Type 87 anti-aircraft artillery mount is a copy of the ZU-23-2, differing from it only in the caliber of the barrels and the design of the chamber. Paired machines are located on a rotating gun carriage; there are also manual guidance drives, an aiming system, two box magazines for 40 rounds each and two places for operators. The effective firing range at air targets is 3.2 km, the rate of fire is 600-700 rds / min, the vertical guidance angles are from -10 to + 90 °.
The French Military seems to have their orderly evacuation plan down to a science. I'm asking questions & making some notes. Good job France. We really need the safety & security of Bagram...... Well they sure know how to retreat. aww come on, nobody here thought of saying it?!
The outer pods look like EW, but the other pylons just look like an adaptor for a longer weapon, you can see the stabiliser pads to hold a 'bomb' or similar.
Chinese soldiers are trained to be prepared in all sorts of battle situations, fire shells with their bare hands without using any parts of a cannon
in video, they are also developing the skill of hitting target with two mortar shells all at once to achieve double kill.
